BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We've had evidence of this for ages, right? Frankly this feels like those endless UBI studies where they all demonstrate UBI works but that's not the answer the people in charge want to hear so nothing changes.

Who remembers Tank Girl (the 1995 movie)? It's one of those movies I LOVED when it came out, but I'm afraid to rewatch it and realize I hate it now 😂

Ready for tomorrow morning’s Protest Music on the Porch.

last night I had the worst variation of the stress dream that goes “I have a music performance in 2 hrs that I forgot to practice for” 😭 A friend asked me to play Classical guitar (which I’ve had like 6 lessons in??) at his father’s funeral and not only did I not practice but I lost the music 😭

the argument that AI in the context of art is “just a tool” completely elides the fact that the point of art is to participate in the fucking process of making it

Every morning I read the news and something else reminds me of Robert Musil saying in 1930s Germany that one of the defining aspects of fascism was the mockery of compassion

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

i can’t believe i have to say this but DO NOT FEED OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK INTO AI. this is awful and heartbreaking.

The more I put myself out there as an actor and a musician, the more I get described as "niche" and hear "Wow I love your stuff! Here are 4 fundamental things I would immediately change about it". There's no point to this post, just feeling discouraged and sorry for myself.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people
