Chia Pet has fallen.

This is a really good silverpoint video. He doesn't show prepping the ground much, but I was reading Cennini's gesso prep recommendations and I've never thought of putting a sheet of paper over my gessoed paper and burnishing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD66...

As a non-lawyer, but as a matter of principle & plain reading, Trump isn't eligible to serve, the SC ruled in error, & all laws, rules & regulations, contracts, employees, etc of this regime are invalid. Should he somehow name an SC justice they're out too. Rip up the roots. Send them for life.

Can everyone stop doing stupid shit?

Finally. Extra cup holders for my morning coffee. Wait, that can't be right?

Wizards. lol. Why are you like this?

Oh noes! An executive order! Whatever shall the states do?

Anticipation, such as it is, is always industry driven. Articles like this don't mention consumers because none of this is consumer driven. Ive's devices designed for Apple sold because they looked nice, but, more importantly, people wanted what was in those devices.

gotta say this set aged pretty well www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy2b...

It seems like you don't understand your mission if your goal is to prepare students for work. Preparing students for success isn't done through narrowing the field of study, unpredictable job markets aren't solved by limiting options. Preparing students for "work" means they don't matter to you.

When this crossed my timeline it said Claude Monet "reposted by Paul Cézanne."

very cool that every day now there are a bunch of stories where i think well i can’t post what i think about that without violating terms of service

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious

Wire's Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154 are 3 of my favorite albums of all time. Their stuff post-154 is great, I like Newman's solo work a lot, Dome is great; peaks and valleys sure, but almost 50 years of vital music seems impossible. Its not.

Starting to think I'd like a "Grand Juries are America's Strongest Soldiers," t-shirt or similar.

I've purchased a couple of pieces in the past and love them.

i just reposted this but I really just want to say that the $8/mo I spend on the Handbasket is one of the best investments I've made in indie journalism ever

Jail for 1,000 years.

working title is: 'How to Spot a Wrong'un with Jane Austen'

Well. I'm going to be trying this one out.

a few weeks ago it was john yoo saying that mayhaps bombing random boats might not magically become legal simply by intoning "drug trafficking" and now this. really hate living in the timeline where now even both torture memo guys are thinking things have gotten out of hand.

i am never again going to let a conservative get away with complaining about the liberal nanny state because these assholes actually *are* the nagging, inappropriately intrusive boogeymen conservatives have been bleating about for my entire adult life, mind your fucking business

The Thing (1982, John Carpenter)

And now Bad Religion is stuck in my head for the next 12 hours.

Able to use Bluesky well enough to mute a thread, but not well enough to be able to understand and engage with the concept of "Some people can reply." If nothing else, at least the games playing and bad faith is consistent.

It doesn’t matter how many differences the frog had with the scorpion, it carried the scorpion nonetheless

Did I buy this? As in, see, open, buy, immediately no debate about it? Yes, yes I did. 404 is on the short list of truly essential media right now, and I'm glad to be able to support them when I can.

If you're murdering people because you're afraid to lose a paycheck you're not "apparently good." There's no good anywhere in there.

How have I not seen this New Yorker cartoon of a Demonic Consultation? This is incredible.

My Senator told me FedSoc judges keep ignoring his unambiguous laws so I asked how many laws he has and he said he just goes to the Congress and gets a new law afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding unambiguous laws to FedSoc judges and then his chief of staff started crying.

they hate music, they hate art, they hate artists, they hate pop, they hate the video games they play, they hate the movies they watch, like, they're just all the worst fucking people you've ever met, none of them believe in anything

Isn't this the second or third time that Times leadership has done this "explaining it to the rubes," routine in 2025 alone? The dissatisfaction with their coverage must be immense, not only among their readers, but every non-politics part of the paper.

You can help Bolts continue to provide crucial coverage of local elections. Here's how: - Repost this = I donate $1. - Follow @boltsmag.org = I donate $1. - Donate (link below) + tell me how much = I match your donation. (Donate monthly = I match a year's worth)

I really think Dems need to hit R's from now to eternity about how none of them work, know their job, or engage with the material. Every voter in this country knows they'd be out on their ass if this was their level of effort, and we should maybe make that argument.

It is really fucking weird to me that people say we should support Platner due to his opposition to a genocidal regime, while eliding the fact he tattooed himself with a symbol from a different genocidal regime.

155mm for dictators, 155% tax rate for billionaires, $1.50 hot dogs for the public

There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

when we talk about elite failure, this is a big part of it, at the leadership level in education and in business, too many executives simply refuse to exercise any kind of judgment whatsoever, everyone wants the perks, no one wants the responsibility

i’m really digging the new democratic catchphrase “from the window, to the wall”

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds

Bluesky is filled with the most incredible artists. This is genuinely delightful.

The only antidote - and I do mean the ONLY one - to Trump and Miller's xenophobia is a full-throated defense of immigration and a full-throated attack on the racism and xenophobia currently guiding immigration policy. You can't half-ass this one, you can't Very Reasonable Limits this one.

Reminder that Chris Murphy backed a bill that would have forced asylum-seekers to return to their country of origin unless they met murky conditions of fearing persecution. The man who introduced the “Turn Away The SS Saint Louis” bill wants to lecture you on how Trump’s hurting the wrong people.

your whole political project is built on the foundation of a high trust society and also your political praxis is "steal everything from everyone all the time" what's up with that

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

A spectacular Bluesky thread. One of my favorites; and now so is Jim.

all the smart and cool kids are doing it

you should support liberal currents!
