If I want Americans to take one lesson from Hungary it’s this: you can win even IF the system is rigged against you. Fascism is so fundamentally weak that it can be beaten with even limited democracy.

“The reason why the Artemis mission has everyone so fascinated is because it is a showcase for the efforts of people who are very, very good at their jobs, at a time when the news cycle is dominated by people who are not merely terrible at their jobs, but awful human beings as well.”

"Light Fossils" dinosaur light painting by artist Darren Pearson, known as Darius Twin, using a unique photography technique. The artwork is created using long-exposure photography, where the camera shutter remains open while the artist moves handheld lights to "draw" the figures in real-time.

Keep a sketchbook. Make it a regular practice to draw in it. It is the most valuable practice of all and a massive source for inspiration when you want to make a finished painting. Your whole soul is in there.

Im 38 and have never known a day in my life where the dems and republicans weren't salivating at the chance to bomb Iran. The amount of lies and propaganda we've been fed for decades was always going culminate into this. Solidarity with the people of Iran forever.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
