The best art is made for the self. It’s the very act of making art that itself is the gift to the world.

RJ Palmer 🔜 Lightbox Expo 101 @rj-palmer.com · Nov 26

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

I can accept that there are people who somehow think Johnny Cash is not cool, but I don’t know if they have ever left the house or ever listened to music or didn’t have some seriously bizarre priors

In honor of #Portland and their protesting joy.

Bloom County Sunday strip where military comes to Oliver Wendell Jones’ house accusing him of hacking Trump’s Twitter account and posting “America, don’t be moody, shake your booty.” Oliver’s mom says “That’s it? No orders to fire the FBI or lock up critics?” She then proceeds to “shake her booty” and gets the soldier at the door to join in. Catching himself, the soldier says “Sneaky effing liberals! Move in!” Oliver’s mom tells Oliver “lock yourself in the potty, honey.”

#MSH45 | Richard Lasher
You've been at a job long enough to know a decent colleague to chat with.

The more you get to know them, the more they share. What's fact or fiction? You don't know, but you listen.

Then there's one story that's so over the top—a bona fide lie. But then, a photo appears.

A red Ford Pinto hatchback angles across a narrow gravel forest service road, a blue enduro motorcycle on a rear hitch carrier. Tall firs frame the view. Beyond them, a towering ash cloud from a pyroclastic density flow billows skyward. Photo by Richard Kent Lasher, May 18, 1980.

David Simon GOAT

Juno Rylee Schultz @junoryleejournalism.com · 3d

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I’m no fancy lawyer*, but I think an attempted coup probably counts as an ‘exceptional circumstance’.

IF the house does indeed reconvene on Monday (I feel like this can is going to get kicked as many times as possible) it may actually be a day worth paying attention to the news.

This gives a little more credence to Rep Swalwell’s insistence that some pictures are going to drop that are so bad that a ton of Republicans in the know are planning to follow MTG in jailbreaking away from Trump

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

White House roundtable, in between bouts of far-right activists insisting that just being in Trump’s presence is “pure sex appeal by osmosis”: Antifa in Portland is the most heinous terrorist force on par with Hezbollah.

“Antifa” in Portland, literally at the same time:

Like yeah, this is pretty much what being a reasonably intelligent politically-conscious white American asks of you. And these are things that are not that hard! But our heads are just too goddamned far up our own asses.

Oh no you’re snarky about our privilege FINE we’re wrecking the country now.

kirin @koboldstyle.bsky.social · 4d

Peacemaker’s America just wants to rock out, shoot guns, fuck, and be free. And Gunn makes it pretty clear that to BE free you need to literally shoot your racism in the head, let your baggage go, put up with a certain amount of deserved snark, maybe put down the guns and move the fuck on.
