“When the time is right & the storm reaches its zenith, the creature climbs to the top of the highest tree in the forest & spreads its wings. When the inevitable bolt of lightning strikes, its flammable belly explodes; the dragon self-immolates in a blazing pyre. But! -

"Iron Lung" Surprisingly solid and brilliantly executed. Definitely worthy of a theatrical presentation if you can catch it there. Mark's come a long way since his early days and hit this one out of the park. As the lady says, "This sparks joy."

The NFL has a rep for not paying the talent they 'hire' for halftime shows. I guess the idea is "we're paying you with EXPOSURE", which is something i know many artists love. But if a singer is doing the job for free, what about the sets? Costumes? Does the NFL cover those or is it on the artist?

Elon's "Optimus" can't even manage to stand up. Meanwhile, the bot from Boston Dynamics is about to take Gold in, uh, half the Olympic events? Elon's a cash-powered joke but these things? they make you wonder about the future. Good or bad, a radical change of some kind is coming.

Remember when Team Fash feigned fury over "Peanuts" the squirrel being put to sleep? I do. The incident below is just one of hundreds we have of Regime Brownshirts abusing animals, often leaving them to die in abandoned homes & cars. Talk is cheap, monsters- Actions show us what you really are 👹

NO TAXPAYER BAILOUTS FOR THE CRYPTO SPECULATORS AND CON ARTISTS. If you gambled and lost, don’t ask the American people to bail you out. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just gunna say, but they don't even boo the North Koreans at the Olympic opening ceremonies.

So ICE has declared a retreat from Minneapolis. But like the man once said, "We're not retreating, we're just attacking in a different direction." My fear is that the Proudboys are being redeployed to depopulate Springfield, Ohio- they of "Cats&Dogs" fame. 25% of residents are 100% legal Haitians.

Having automatic doors is fine- so long as you have a manual release on BOTH sides. It's hard to believe multi-billion dollar car companies had to learn this and even harder to believe that safety authorities ever allowed it. Rot over Reason Denial of the Obvious We live in a time of make-believe

did you see him? no a rider on a red mount; he came this way looking for something something hiding and what was in his eyes? did they give the game away? no there was no man in there just a beast in uniform haunting in a bag of human skin with the rot of carrion on his breath

So Texas– Something people dont consider(?) is that while 34-42% of the public might support the Regime only a portion of them are die-hards who cheer doing Fash things. The other 60+% of the public? they don’t just “dislike” the Regime, they *HATE* it & are TERRIFIED That👏 Difference👏 Matters!👏

Cute. So Mario has his dweebie brother Luigi and now it looks like they both have a new addition to the family - crazy cousin Marco. "Hey, evryboody! The pizza, she's onna me!" 🍕🔪

It's always a shock how with a little bit of 'nothing' an artist can create quite the 'something'. It strikes me as a pair of orchids bobbing in a gentle breeze; you?

WHAT THE HELL?? Did someone flip a switch? Because my feed's been absolutely SPAMMED by AI "Art" Bros with dragon this-and-that. EVERYWHERE. Did i click to pick up on any of that? Nooo... so where the heck is it coming from? It's like they poked a bag of ass & all this s#!t fell out! 🤖🍑💩💩💩💩 🚽🪠

I never imagined such a day. I wasn't asking for it or even looking and yet - poof, there it be. What's remarkable for an old-head is that fact that Euro-sales of diesels have utterly tanked. EVs passed them in 2023 as diesel dropped from #1 to bottom of the pack. The Revolution! ..will be silent

Jesus H. Christ! "The problem isn't what they're doing, it's how they do it! The Brown Shirts just need training to be Better Brown Shirts (TM), so maybe they conduct public executions *inside* black jails instead of in public 😀" - with Dems like these, who the hell needs the Fash? ↙️↙️↙️

?? Why is ICE sending agents to the Olympics with the American delegation? Are ... are they planning on deporting the Italians from Italy? Is this a Thing now?

For the life of me i can’t figure out Larry’s gameplan. Surely he doesn’t expect the “lib-half” of TikTok to put up with all the censorship & spying? Or all the Fash who’ll get caught in the same net? So how do you make bank on SocMed when everybody bails? What’s THE PLAN, Larry?? #tiktok

Noem did not "fail" She did *exactly* what she was hired to do And *exactly* what was demanded She is what the system demanded & enabled. And the Democrats helped. Every vote in support of the Regime, from appointments to budgets, enabled this to become truth. Stop👏 Helping👏 The👏 Regime🛑‼️

The presidential pardon as we know it is dead. If there's any justice it won't survive this trial. For the future we should build a justice system that has the capacity to recognize its errors and amend them WITHOUT the need for presidential intervention or lawsuits by charitable advocates.

WHY WOULD YOU LICENSE A PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T WORK?? Okay, yes - Microsoft exists. But we're regular folk. The money-barons build their own toys with pocket change. THEY have options - and the brains to realize when they need to exercise them. Yeesh. "Roman-Salute" Company is getting desperate.

Two gems in one night - A brilliant stained-glass from a master of the craft. This is what stained glass can be. Just magnificent. Remember - Celebrate and support those who Do so there's more for all to see and enjoy. Even in a time of darkness light can shine

A stunning use of technique! It blurs the line between an abstract and impressionism to make something as clear as day. May we all find a little calm within the storm.

There’s no 2 sides to what’s happening in Minneapolis. ICE is WRONG. They need to LEAVE. Terrorizing your own people puts us on the same level as China, Russia, or North Korea. A year ago we were a DEMOCRACY. Now we’re living in fear within our own borders.

PSA: If Bill Kristol can say this dems should be able to say it

When the public speaks as One Their voice is Thunder ... and even Proud Olympus shakes

They should be offering a lighter sentence in return for testimony.

I'm sorry but the eyes make it look like a meme. Artistically it has all this brutal realism and immediacy, this sense of predatory intent and primal terror! .. and then it looks like they just gave up & glued a pair of googly-eyes on him for the lulz. It's the Teen Titans Go! version of Godzilla

Like playing chess when you can only think one move ahead... ♟️

If America is "running" Venezuela then why do we need the navy to seize their boats by force as the State Department warns Americans to flee the country for fear of life? ? ?? ??? #Venezuela #bootsontheground #trump

If threatening to invade Greenland or any longstanding close & peaceful friend isn't grounds for dismissal due to insanity ... then what is?

... aaaaaand Newsom is over. Done. Cooked, with burnt edges and that acrid bitterness that makes you want to spit and swig the Listerine. Tweet away, my Dude. Keep those staffers busy. At least that part of your legacy should age well ...

"ICE is only 23 years old" Bitch - I don't care if they're 230 y-old! Wrong-is-Wrong and it don't grow into "Right" just because it's had time to rot with age!

Ever have one of those days (weeks, months?) where it feels like you pissed off some twitchy witch & got cursed? And you just wonder which witch and what the hell did i do?

From "floating" to sinking with a single sneeze. Or as Ralph Nader once said, "Unsafe at any Speed"

Revolution isn't removing & replacing those in power. Revolution is when the system BEHIND those in power is removed & replaced. Clearly, our Constitutional structure failed. It was corrupted by wealth & needs to be replaced. One that holds a regime to task for its crimes proofs the work. PTTP

Make it viral.

You can hear the wheat rustling in the wind, wave after wave tide upon tide waiting for the rain to begin

AMERICANS should be ROLLING COAL to McDonalds for a burger, beer, a slab of raw cheese and a side order of tallow-fried fries three meals a day under new dietary ‘health’ guidelines just issued by Doc Brain Worm. Take the corn outta 'coronary' today! 🌽🧠 #USDA #FoodPyramid #DocBrainWorm

Talk about getting the perfect shot -

This is all grown-ups playing Make Believe The Regime just swept-out Venezuela's leader & dismissed the possibility of working with any opposition figures. Do they honestly think people will just line-up to salute the Yankee Generalissimo? Military occupation or nothing; fantasy to think otherwise

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

“Shoot stuff, kill people, win war” is Stable Genius-level simple-minded thinking Von Clausewitz is spinning in his grave They made a hole. Either they fill it with US troops or someone else will- & it WILL be contested. Good luck building vulnerable oil infra in a jungle laced with rebels&cartels

Yet another reminder that as the Angels of AI praise the glory of the Tech-to-Come, the self-assumed Masters of Our Universe have proven profoundly incapable of connecting products to markets, of sellers to buyers. If, in the INTERNET AGE you can't draw a line between your offer & the masses... ??

So i saw Zootopia 2 and had some thoughts. It’s a good movie, well-worth the price of admission even in this economy. The character work & relationship-building between Nicky & Judy is excellent & it works. The plot makes sense. I’d even dare to call it clever. But- 1/n

much with little

"... and so Brave Sir Robin Farley ran away...!" Bonus Points! Q: How do you identify an American auto executive? A: You gotta turn 'em around and check fer the yellah stripe down their back.

See the thing i always wondered was WHY DON'T THEY HAVE SEATBELTS?! Right? Every time they took a hit from something everyone would get knocked around or ragdolled into a corner. Strap in, fer god's sake! And Worf! your man on the weapons is STANDING? Dude's eatin floor when he should be shootin!

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows. (1/n)

So the courts handed another win to Big Tech. Funny how that always happens.
