While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

I’m happy the LOTR films are selling out everywhere. I hope new eyes are watching. I’ve seen them so many times now in the theater I’d rather just watch them at home. But theater audiences are hungry for quality movies, and studios ain’t providing. They should be playing older movies every weekend.

BREAKING:

TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record."

"Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Someone asked me to comment on the anniversary of Jan 6. I will consider having comments on it….should it ever end. We are very much still reaching for the nadir of this reclamation. No time yet for historicizing it. Still trying to survive it.

On National #Bird Day, meet ornithologist Florence Merriam Bailey.

Her 1889 book, 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢-𝘎𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴, established the foundation for modern #birdwatching by advocating for observing birds in the wild with an opera glass instead of shooting them for study. #WomenInSTEM

In this Year of Reading, a gentle reminder:
The best way to get your kids reading is to let them see *you* reading. The way to *stop* your kids reading is to criticize their choices, or to make reading a competition, or a punishment, or a race, or a learning tool. Let it be fun. Let them read.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance

Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn

Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Are we really doing "poor trapped Usha Vance" content like people tried with Melania Trump? These wives are all on board the project. Let's not pretend.

As a reminder, with the government shut down, food banks are about to be overrun. if you have a few dollars to spare, consider giving it to your local food bank. They can stretch dollars into meals better than we can imagine.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

Dear writers:

Write that story. Edit mercilessly. Send that email. Ignore the haters. Stay humble, but be confident. Get paid. Read a lot. Write despite your insecurities. Support others. Accept helpful criticism. Celebrate everything. Don't panic. Never quit. You got this.

Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies.

No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

the biggest thing i hope studios take away from the success of Sinners and K-Pop Demon Hunters is that, wow, audiences actually DO like and want original stories and don't need every goddamn movie to be a sequel or reboot

Wouldn't it be cool if in response to Kpop Demon Hunters being the most successful animated movie of the year/all time/whatever companies paid artists to do cool original projects and more shows and movies and more stability in animation and design. Hahahhahahahahahhaha man. Oh well!
