Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

feels especially important to beat the drum that we are living in a surveillance police state and tech companies are cashing in www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Good video from @bradsartschool.com. Level-headed but also cautious. I finally pulled the plug on Adobe and made the switch to this suite earlier this year. Affinity, please don’t make me regret my decisions less than 12 months out.

Pretty much 99% of all popular TV shows from the past 20 years, but one in particular: GAME OF THRONES. I’ve never seen a single episode, in part nor in full.

Daveed Diggs, hands down. His work with clipping. is god-tier stuff.

I’m at the proxy-generating and sequence-rendering phase of this archival project. Which, just like seemingly all the other stages with this physical media-intensive project, just means more waiting.

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

critiquing the DNC is not supporting the GOP. anyone who says that line is an idiot. most people are unhappy with the democratic party. polling shows that. support for zohran shows that. losing the election showed that. come and live in reality with the rest of us! care about other people!

Hell yea nyc, fuck ai trash

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are praising a conman in your own party while simultaneously saying you will fight the conman in The White House. The former is why no one believes you on the later.

what it feels like to be one of the few people who haven't gotten covid yet

🎶 I'm not superstitious, about ya / But I can't take no chance 🎶

This whole thread is worth a read.

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

my mom is out of the halfway house and needs some cash to get on her feet in her new living situation. she already has a job. for those who don’t know, she got out of jail pretty recently and was facing deportation this summer. the goal is $2000.

Y'know what: fair enough, that is what you were asked to do

We were a little lost trying to find our way to a beach and an older guy with a Palestine flag on his dashboard noticed and stopped to give us directions. Then when he learned we were American he lightly chided us for being “scared” of Trump and not rioting in the streets. I love Ireland.

Trying not to use data on an international weekend getaway and having to rely on public wi-fi networks has me feeling like a late-aughts high schooler rockin’ the iPod touch lifestyle once again.

The thing about analog digitization and video encoding work is that researching it and then completing individual tasks makes you feel really accomplished, but at the same time the whole process takes so long that by the end of the day/week it also feels like you haven't gotten anything done.

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Also, just for the record, let me say that I believe Rotten Tomatoes and its scale to be an awful marker of quality, and that I kinda think it’s done more damage to cultural criticism at-large than most other conglomeration sites.

Because I can’t choose just one. Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

One positive thing that's happening is that the "let's meet in the middle" people are looking more and more unhinged in the eyes of regular people. My FedBook page which includes a lot of normies is on fire regularly. Folks are done.

funny seeing the people pearl clutching about cancel culture for all this time gleefully literally cancelling stuff

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

"Taking a host off the air for politically-disagreeable remarks that were fine otherwise" may seem chilling. But how about: the government lets media owners *who explicitly support them* control the airwaves, let the others know that existence is quid pro quo, and this is how we get election news

all the “we have to live together with them” appeals like they haven’t been accommodating them for decades

watching Face/Off, a film exploring identity, trauma, and bodies

The only way to solve this problem long-term is through collective political action. Decentralization won't save you. Cryptocurrencies won't save you. VPNs won't save you. Open source won't save you. Only mass organization.

Conservatives are now suing individual games, not just distributors. At every single step of this fight, critters have been looking for technical solutions out of it. First it was "well, just use a VPN." Next up, "just publish to your own website." This is a political problem.

cant believe that this is the first-ever time that liberalism has been ill-equipped to stand up to fascism. crazy stuff that nobody could have predicted

Another politician who needs to be 1000 miles from any actual power but also needs a podcast reviewing episodes of Animaniacs

Let's make this clear: No creator owns the rights to anything they "make" using algorithmic generation. This has been made clear by the United States Copyright Office and backed up by other countries. If a human being didn't create it, it CANNOT be copyrighted therefore you DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS.

they painted a mural and named a street in israel after the guy who said jewish money was destroying america and who elevated arch antisemites like candace owens to national prominence

Wild to witness Christo-fascism come to fruition in real time.

In September, we... make pumpkin cream soup with garlic baguette 🥖

ÆON FLUX* and STONE QUACKERS, for sure. Others are mentioning SCAVENGERS REIGN, which is a worthwhile addition. All cartoons, so obviously you can tell where my TV priorities lie.

Forgot how much of a banger this album is.

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

You gotta mourn the people who work hard to make sure you cease to exist or else we’re gonna think you’re immoral as we continue to work hard to make sure you cease to exist

A lot of people currently calling for civility saw Kirk's violence as harmless because they weren't the primary target. The fact that being lower on the list is seen as safety is wild to me.
