Make Art (1/4)

Why isn’t every politician, leader, prosecutor, and news channels focused on this. The President is accused with significant proof of killing and raping minors.

The iridescent beauty of a European starling, taken today, in the bright sun, on a very cold afternoon.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I don’t think most people realize the actual size of the Kennedy Center. It is a complex of 3 large venues, many small venues, lounges, and exhibition spaces. It has been renovated before without shutting down the whole thing. Utter B.S.

I joined my friend Greg and other cartoonists to draw something to welcome Liam Ramos home, but ~3800 children remain in ICE custody, including at least three students from Liam's school (and 25 parents). Join us at #Comics4Liam !

This is hilarious!! 🤣 🤣

Simple Dem idea: Next Jim Jordan led hearing, all Dem’s attend jacket-less. Don’t have to match JJ’s shirt and tie choice, but would be nice. Oh, and additionally, maybe not vote to fully fund ICE.

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

LOLOLOLOL hahahahahahaha

If you live in Harford or Baltimore County, MD, the Gunpowder Tree Farm is a great place to pick out and buy a Christmas tree. Very friendly and helpful staff. #ChristmasTree #GunpowderTreeFarm

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

“I brought this horrid creature into the world, and now I must take him out!” Winfrey said

Nothing sucks worse at the end of a great weekend of football than having to hear Chris Collinsworth throughout the Sunday night game.

It used to be that LIBRARIES were on the list of places to go to avoid MAGAts but now they go there to find WOKE books to burn at the next CULT meeting.

Deflect and Distract volume 47

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

Goodnight

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Terrific

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?

An artist called @Pizza990 made this for AI users and I think it's genuinely amazing.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Hot take on the “Women ruining the workplace” B.S. Having worked as a teacher in elementary schools my whole career, take women out of the workplace and you have me, a custodian, and possibly a gym or band teacher wrangling 400+ K- grade 5 kids.

Simple question: Where is the parking garage for the new “Let them eat cake” ballroom being built at the White House? Underground? Are they expecting the limos to line up like pick-up/drop-off time at the local elementary school?

A call for all true Americans to boycott Lutefisk, Lefse, and Brown Cheese until the very weak Nobel “Committee” wises up and awards their “prize” to our magnificent leader whose orange face outshines the sun, whose every breath spreads peace and love throughout the world like skunk hit by a semi.

Happy Birthday Thelonious Monk! “Monk was an enigmatic guy, but he was one of the best people I’ve known, completely honest, and he took a liking to me and took me under his wing, and years later I was able to see that he influenced me in many things.” –S.R. (2007)

Is it true that they used “Macho Man” as the audience warmup music for the Pete Hegseth/Trump speech for the generals?

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Yep, I’m really that old!

I know I’m late to the party but… I just finished 2025 Hugo Award winning, The Tainted Cup, by Robert Jackson Bennett. Fascinating world building, multilayered mystery, riveting action, and like all great SF&F, interesting insight into the world we live in. Don’t miss it!

Seems about right.

Bizarro President sues citizens for exercising their Constitutional rights. “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…”

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Don’t know why public health has become “political.” But here we are. Stand up for science. Stand up for your health and the health of the vulnerable in your community. Get vaccinated, if at all possible.

This is the last day for the Murderbot + Witch King and my other fantasy Humble Book Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/martha... We've raised $89,000 in donations for World Central Kitchen so far!

I just backed Open Book Chocolates on Kickstarter. They make unique flavored hand-made chocolate bars that are based on classic novels. Maryland based, women owned, using fair trade organic chocolate. Yes, Please!
