I might be one of the last few people on earth to watch K-POP DEMON HUNTERS -- but finally watched last night and OMFG it was SOOOOO GOOOD!!! 🤩 If you haven't seen it, go do so! It is accessible to everyone; like it will grab you in the first 5 minutes. Congrats to Boey and Erika for their work!

If 🍊🤡 is reporting on Portland the same way he was reporting on Los Angeles, it is probably just another normal day with no out of the ordinary issues aside from the ones he is purposefully causing.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I'm glad he's speaking up. Anything to give visibility to the fuckedupness of ICE. Disappearing non-criminal immigrants who want a better life. Rounding up CHILDREN. Rampant racial profiling. Shooting at protesters. I don't know how anyone can look at this and be like, we're doing the right thing.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 2d

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Just sent an original spec feature script to my manager. My creative well has been... a leetle dry in the past few years? But this one is wholly original and wholly me. It still needs revisions, and who knows what ~*the market*~ will say -- but I'm just glad I found my voice again.

I gave them a 20% discount for bulk items I'M SUCH A RUBE.

🎃 Hell-en Shang 🎃 @helenshang.bsky.social · 3d

Judging from what they ordered, I imagine they're sending out super exclusive letter invites to some billionaire Eyes Wide Shut type situation in a sex crypt filled with esoteric symbols; that's the vibe I'm getting and that's what I will go with in my head-canon.

OK after poking around I genuinely think that this is some organization for multi-millionaires. No wonder they were like, just name the price for rush and we'll pay it!

UGH!!!

I SHOULD HAVE
CHARGED MORE!!!

Ha!

🎃 Hell-en Shang 🎃 @helenshang.bsky.social · 3d

They have a website but it's so exclusive I don't even know what they do... and judging by the items they ordered... I'm just like... what kind of illuminati-ass shit are they mailing out with my Etsy stationery?! WHAT ARE THEY MAILING OUT?!?!

I have an Etsy shoppe that I keep alive out of hubris. Won't share what it is here, but it has to do with stationery. Anyway, I recently got a bulk rush order and out of curiosity I googled the address... and it's to some mysterious exclusive rich-people organization on the East Coast...

When this is all over, and it comes out that he is/was indeed addled and advisors were feeding him lies and ai... it's vital we don't let anyone use that information to absolve him of any responsibility for every horrific act the admin is doing.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.
