And it's unconstitutional via Train vs City of New York (1975).

TIL that Florida has an Emancipation Day & that it's May 20th. #history #todayilearned

I did an small study where I compiled all of the presid elections up to 2020. Biden won with some of if not the smallest margins of someone who got both the electoral college & the popular vote. The Dem victory against Trump in 2020 was always fragile. 2024 favored Repubs historically. #politics

That's because Obama is an progressive at heart. His moderation as president came from voters giving Republicans more & more power at each congressional election starting in 2010. The same would have happened to Bernie had he become president in 16. We have to contest all elections. #politics

Zelenskyy can't pause his nation’s defense just because our nation has caused a global oil crisis.

Not shocked to be honest. Trump has been pissing off the Fed Reserve since his first term. Looks like they are starting to realize this second go round that appeasement is not the way forward. #economics #politics #federalreserve finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

Going to be interesting to see all of these pro-Trump corpos pretend that they never supported him if a Dem wins in 28.

Mind you the last time this happened on a significant level we ditched the gold standard & switched to fiat causing the Nixon shock. #economy brusselssignal.eu/2026/04/fran...

So what Tiktok is telling me is that it has not served a single piece of my content to my followers over the year. Sigh. #tiktok #contentcreator #firstworldproblems

I wonder how many times the Anti-Pinkerton Act has been violated over the past century or so. Especially with how privatized our military weapon production has become since WW2. #history #politics #law

Got inspired to do another painting(Yay, another added to the years long back log of paintings I haven't gotten to yet), and then I remembered I did two paintings of Unohana from Bleach unleashing her bankai. This was before the anime caught up years later. #painting #art #bleach

Started to check out the live streaming section on youtube. It's just been a sea of right wing grifters. Ew. #youtube #politics

Virginians were asked “fewer republicans?” And voted yes.

Love how I look at job listings & they advertise "great pay" & great pay is Florida's minimum wage at the end of this year's September. It is not great if you are doing the bare minimum. #jobs #economy

Finally watched the final season of Upload last night. I have mixed feelings about the ending. And the way they ended it its like they are leaving some things open for a wrap up movie. #tv #upload #thoughts

The plot armor is getting ridiculous. #gaming #dragonage

People's fears of a Kamala Harris run in 28 seems to be a low key concession that she might be the strongest candidate that the Dems have right now, otherwise they would just shrug & laugh & move on. Instead, you should be looking at the field & getting behind your preferred candidate. #politics

The fact that the elderly have to doordash at all to afford cancer treatments is an indictment on this country. Like, what in the libertarian hellscape is this?

Let today in Hungary be a warmup for what we can do, for what we can have.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

If I was in Congress, I would be pushing articles on impeachment against him & his entire cabinet everyday. This madness needs to stop now. The only things that should be passing in both chambers until the next general election is a budget & a removal of this runaway administration. #politics

America's slide into facism is not due to neoliberalism, it's due to its inability to deal with racism in the long run. It's no surprise that le country moved to the right & forced Dems to go third way after the social safety net expanded to include all peoples, & civil rights expansions. #politics

Mind you that Taney eventually became the 5th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court where he wrote the majority opinion on Dred Scott v. Sandford, Strader v. Graham, and presided over Prigg v. Pennsylvania. No one should be celebrating these two former AGs in any way. #history

Kind of depressing seeing people launch successful patreons where most if not all of their content is stealing other people's reaction content & making mashup videos of them reacting to the same content at the same time. Makes me want to quit content creation altogether sometimes. #youtube

I think the reason we are seeing an uptick in black celebs from the 80s & 90s going maga is due to a combo of decades of love bombing from the wealth class who trend conservative, seeing the benefits of tax cuts on the rich due to their own large incomes, and the lack of invest in left politics.

Newsbreak is the new fb. Them comments sections are ick. They put fb & Obama era yahoo comments to shame with the level of racism & hatred they spew. #newsbreak

One thing the 2020's have taught the left is why single issue voters are a thing. The level of deflation that a candidate gets in terms of loss of excitement & support if they so much as look at a paper with Israel's name on it is interesting. #politics

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

Watching the Sora community on reddit beg the company to remove the guardrails & copyright protections is something else. Like yes, let's open up the company responsible for your favorite software to even more lawsuits or worse. Did they outsource their common sense to ai too? SMH. #ai #sora #reddit

Was looking up the location of the upgrade item for porygon for firered/leafgreen & got interesting results. Just got the location from the guide instead(Five Island Rocket Warehouse): #pokemon #google

While going through my archives, I came across this men's health magazine dated June 2011. This is Aaron Schock of Illinois 18th from 09 to 15. The gym bro to right wing pipeline was layed over a decade ago. Proof that abs & muscles do not correlate to good morals & good public polices. #politics

Went through my archives & found this goodie: #pokemon #videogames #books

If pokemon were real then Kingler would be extinct in Florida due to the sheer amount of people cooking it for crab boils. #pokemon #florida #food

Just saw all the screaming on reddit about Sora AI shutting down. Looks like the AI bubble just popped. This is why you should focus on developing skills that big corps can't take from you. Now, if you would excuse me, I have a short story I have to write. #ai #dotcombubble

Here's one feature I will not be using as a content creator. They really are trying to make AI stick. #youtube #contentcreation

The biggest shocker for me about Chuck Norris is that he was 86. Like, jolly gee did time fly by.

Congrats to Afroman for winning his court case. A reminder that an Ohio man got sued by his local police station because he made a song about his home raiding experience rather than take it silently or react violently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=opon...

Writing tip: Find a song you can play on repeat while writing. Helps me to lock in. Currently listening to Hadschi Halef Omar. Nothing like a little German disco song about a devout man released in the 80's.

The fact that Marty Supreme won absolutely no Oscars is proof that being rude & disrespectful gets you nothing in the long run & that the timeline is trying to heal.
