The French detective in charge of the Louvre jewelry heist looks exactly like what I expected a French detective in charge of a Louvre jewelry heist should look like!

Figured I'd share, this was my proposal for a sculpture at the Sister Cities bridge in rochester. It was timbers fished from the river, cured, then messages from rochestarians carved into the wood & filled, the whole thing sealed and then built into the roc logo.
I didn't get the grant.

Same. I was only there for a little bit. And was chauffeuring people around.

I do what I do for every protest. I bring a bag full of markers, tape, foam, clips, and better sticks to help people improve and fix their protest signs.

One of my favorite things my friends have been doing lately…

Been getting texts as they watch the latest season of Peacemaker, apparently all my friends agree that I would react the *exact* same way as Vigilante would upon meeting myself from another universe.

It’s true… they know me so well!

I was at the one downtown and I really do think that nationally there were more than 7 million people. I didn’t register for anything and there were a few friends that were there that just showed up. Was good to see a nice turn out like that.

Today was the first day in a long time that seeing American Flags being waved by a large group brought me a sense of pride and joy not anger or fear. Maybe a small hint of hope.

So I took time to text back and forth, answered their questions and what shocked me was that the things I talked about with links to show I wasn’t lying they had zero clue on. They thought I was making stuff up.

I felt the wall come up as I kept getting them to understand facts.

Was a tough day.

The second thing is that they actually took time to ask questions. Apparently this spawned from some video online where they are asking people to talk to their friends about no-kings day. It seemed like a propaganda marketing campaign to target small social connections.

Had two red-hat old friends message me in a group chat to “talk about a problem” the problem: I have drank the proverbial blue koolaid. they took it upon themselves to reach out.

2 things:
they wrote because the care about me. I appreciate their concern. They did this with good intentions.

Thank you. I needed to hear that.

It’s sad as they are smart people but they are sharing the most mindnumbingly bad videos.

Magnus Champlin @magnusapollo.bsky.social · 4d

okay folks… please tell me it’s okay that I don’t need to respond to my cousins who are posting inane anti-no king day rhetoric that is so convoluted w/ illogical red herring fallacies…

I don’t need to make yet more comments on yet more videos that seem to be straight from heritage foundation PR…

The counter-protest in Buffalo consisted of a guy in a tactical vest and another with his sweatpants tucked into his cowboy boots. They are not sending their best. #NoKings

Have to share. Made me cackle.
Was answering person’s question online about painting when this asshat starts being a dick & asking me to prove myself as an artist.(wut?)
So I sent him screenshots of 4 years being nomination for best artist in the city.
Not normally a flex I would do, but felt good.

I just got the weirdest hate message from a guy on FB about the no kings protest… his avatar is him with his mixed race kids and very clearly Hispanic wife?! I looked at the pic and couldn’t believe it. I actually am here because I worry about what might happen to your kids, dude. wtf?!?

Magnus Champlin @magnusapollo.bsky.social · 7d

That feels like an insult to the cosmic monster...

Magnus Champlin @magnusapollo.bsky.social · 7d

Having a person with no avatar, not a real name, call me a barrage of names and insults in response to me posting about dying reefs, falls so flat on my ears. When there is so much evidence to what I say, it’s sad they don’t see the truths. it’s actually me punching down to even respond.

Personally I feel like we have lost trust in anyone, seeing politicians bluntly lying when known objective facts are present to everyone.

I don’t know how we even work on fixing a nation-wide trust campaign. Making honest politicians seems like a Sisyphean Task, but the lying has to stop.

Magnus Champlin @magnusapollo.bsky.social · 9d

One of the things we as a society need to comes to terms with is the allowance to lying we have.

We have the concept of perjury in a courtroom which is a crime when a person knowingly & intentionally makes a false statement. But we don’t have something similar for the government & ruling bodies.
