Remember that change doesnt have to happen all at once. Great for you if you can do that, but it’s also valid to roll out changes in incremental phases throughout your life. For example, walking after eating a meal to help control your blood sugar and regulate insulin resistance.

It's crazy! Can you believe people used to actually care about laws, ethics, and ntegrity? What kind of losers couldn't be bought & corrupted? Total suckers!!! They could've held onto power forever if they just all closed ranks & protected the king Fuck this guy

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

He appears to be taking the wrong lessons from that comparison…

JD Vance isn't self-aware enough to know that Watergate only looks like a smaller story now because JD's boss is *exponentially* more corrupt than Nixon could ever be.

btw, @whstancil.bsky.social and I have kissed and made up. We're all gonna have to if we wanna get out of this mess. Also word to the wise: apparently don't shipost about data centers in the one free hour you've accumulated this week.

"Broom the soup." A lot of centrists are freaking out right now, and people are both reading too much and too little into the DSA victories, but a metaphor from my career may be helpful here. 1/?

Sometimes if you have a decent amount of followers you end up with people that seem confused to be following you and seeing your posts and are angry at you about it

The Democratic establishment crash-out is a wonderous thing to see. A bunch of people, their organization named after democracy, unable to handle the results of just a few popular elections, appealing to the unspoken rules of a club they thought belonged exclusively to them. Let's do it everywhere.

Super PACs poured $50 million into New York's primaries, making it one of the most expensive election cycles in state history. The two most expensive primaries ever also happened this year. Overturning Citizens United is a long shot — but states have a plan to get Big Money out of politics anyway.

secretary pete hegsgeth, everybody

The New Climate currently has a 'heat special' homepage 🥵 Check out: Martina H : 'The Weather Has Entered The Body' Even inside the Arctic Circle, the idea of heat as someone else’s problem has started to sound ridiculous medium.com/the-new-clim...

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Hegseth drives out another highly regarded general: "A West Point graduate and a career special operations commander, Donahue commanded Delta Force units in Iraq and Afghanistan before leading the 82nd Airborne division from July 2020 to March 2022." Via NBC

I would totally read any journalist who interviews people fired for not token-maxxing enough in the last few months.

Why do anti-Muslim racists seem to have this idea that pigs and pig byproducts are like…Muslim kryptonite? They seem to behave like if a pig part touches their skin they’ll burst into flames. They just don’t eat pork! They follow their holy book the way you claim to follow yours!

lol they drove 8 multi-ton vehicles directly over an uncured section of the liner, how does this keep getting dumber?

where are all the contractors that built midgar. midgar is only 30 years old and it’s like 75% secret lab by volume. who did they have building that shit. why is midgar not entirely plumbers and welders

OK, I’ll bite. 11 US senators launched an investigation into Trump’s Freedom 250 in March, demanding answers from Trump admin over diverting $100M in taxpayer dollars. Watchdog group @peer.org sued the Trump admin over refusing to provide info re diverting $100M taxpayer dollars.

Whenever I hear someone claiming that USAID was evil from a leftist perspective, I hear someone saying “yes, millions ARE dying because Musk and Trump killed USAID, but at least they’ll die free of American imperialism.” Notably it is never the people saying this who are dying.

"Performative reading" is a psyop to maintain low literacy rates. "Analog hobbies and physical media collecting are over-consumption" are too while we're at it. Gen-Z are getting off algorithmic social media owned by nazis and are picking up a book? Quick, how can we make this seem cringe??

Climate scientists were always being denigrated as alarmists for decades. I think we internalized it and censored our conclusions. Most of us knew this was going to be bad, but even our worst scenarios didn't see it THIS soon. Wild.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

What’s the cost of data center construction, operation, maintenance, and cooling?

Transit construction costs are the “price of living in a democracy today, as opposed to an autocracy”? Maybe versus the 1960s (poetically). But we were even building much more cheaply in 2007! Are France, Spain, and Korea (lower cost countries today) dictatorships?

Minnesotans are living through a coordinated campaign of retribution from the Trump Administration. Funding cuts. Lawsuits. Terrorizing our citizens. Today, I filed 16 FOIA requests to find out how far this campaign reaches.

This is true In principle, but unfortunately basic science class as I remember it was less an education on critical thinking and the scientific method and more “oh god oh god you all have to pass standardized testing so we get money from the state so please memorize these 300 things.”

Grown adult but I need to surround myself with art the likes of like, Captain Underpants, Dear Dumb Diaries, and Dork Diaries again, breh. I am not surrounding myself with like the full breadth of what drawings can be. I must reconnect with the doodle. The scribble.

Our building has once again reached “adhesive stops working” levels of humidity (Just came into my office to find a bunch of 3M strips had failed)

I get folks not involved in education might not realize how severe the current situation is but... The speed and magnitude of how capitalism driven AI has infiltrated education is horrifying.

Bette better sang 🤩💜

Two young men die in a Tesla Cybertruck crash. High Speed was a factor. The false notion that a Cybertruck is somewhat tough built or safe is also a factor.

Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

Thinking about all the people who looked at this throughout the design process and thought "Ok, don't be the one to point out what that looks like or everyone else will think you're a pervert, surely someone else will point it out" but everyone was too embarrassed and, behold, the butt plug fountain

Another one: reserve your judgement of a production for after you understand what was done. Often, a lack of comprehension results in negative evaluations, while comprehension tends to allow for greater appreciation. Not saying that nothing is shit once you understand it, but less will be for sure

The 250th anniversary of America is exactly what I thought it would be: with America losing wars constantly and the president arresting you for disrespecting his pool

Don’t wait until you’re “good” at it to enjoy doing art. The display or performance of your creativity is only a small fraction of the time you’ll spend on your art. If you don’t learn to enjoy doing the creative process, you’ll sentence yourself to a lot of unnecessary suffering.

get a hobby you can't monetize. anything.

Stagnation is 10X worse than “drawing badly”. After the car accident I barely drew for 3 years & it drove me insane, halted my progress & demotivated me. My biggest fear used to be making bad art but not making ANY art is far worse of a fate.

work on your speed. draw fast. find ways to complete things quickly and do not fuss over the details. find ways to finalize sketches that don't take forever. you will put out so many more pieces that way and improve a lot faster and also it won't hurt so much when you have to erase parts of a piece.
