The Waiting Room
YouTube video by Jim Rubino

This is a video of my art show in 2017 at City Center Gallery in Columbus, Ohio. It contains over 150 mechanized ordinary objects, each timed to move once an hour.
Since then I’ve changed my focus to doing philosophy of mind. It’s harder than doing art.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

Conservatives are currently pursuing a national strategy to ban grace periods for ballots sent through the mail. The U.S. Supreme Court will issue a ruling that could eliminate grace periods across the country.
Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Centrist pundits are urging Democrats to respond to ICE's killing spree by bringing in management consultants to recalibrate the agency's mission statement.
That's morally bankrupt. It's also political malpractice, I argue here:

This is networked incitement in action. Once Raichik names her target, her followers roast them publicly and call up the target's workplace or family members to make bomb threats and wish physical harm. Serious and specific threats can lead to shutdowns of workplaces and schools out of caution.
Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.
