I try to preach the opposite of imposter syndrome to creative people. Know that you are literally the only person on the planet equipped to tell the very specific stories you have to tell in the way only you can tell them.

The New York Post may be the absolute worst.

Macbeth and Lear.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today. You can call your Senators, too. Find them here: reps.fyi

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline. I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate. Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

This was Trump and Hegseth. This was the Republican Party. This was the billionaire "A.i." industry. Murderers.

guy out there reeeeally looking for negative attention tonight on this here app. think i'm gonna decline to give it to him. 🤷

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Real talk: CALL your Senators and state Senators and Representatives and the Governor. A petition will do zero to stop this. Calling your elected officials will. While the environmental impacts would be awful, it's worth emphasizing the significant economic impacts to the region.

aw hell

We need better Democrats. Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

sickos lining up in front of chotiner at a party: me! me next! hahaha! do me!

If you pay for an AI service, any of them, you are complicit in this.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

And 165 non-artificial schoolchildren were blown up by all this advanced and precise targeting. Congrats to everyone involved on achieving this brave new world.

In 1999 I directed a short film called "Asian Pride Porn" starring Tony award winning playwright David Henry Hwang that was one of AtomFilms' most viewed shorts of all time and got my face on the cover of Time Magazine Asia mocked up on the screen of an iMac. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2lw...

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

this is literally right wing propaganda. cbs news cannot be trusted.

In 1997 I directed a short film written by David Ball called "Po Mo Knock Knock" in which a pair of artistes confront the impossibility of communication by telling post modern knock knock jokes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT5G...

Pretty sure I've written more Darth Vader, John Wick, and Firefly comics than anyone on the planet.

I am the first trans woman to write either Sera or Angela in a Marvel comic. Which feels WILD and also is one of my proudest accomplishments.

Generally uninterested in the opinions of anyone who says "woke" non-ironically.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

dogs are hilarious dorks. i love them. cats have boundaries and enforce them. i love them.

Christ.

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

Never ever ever ever ever vote for a Republican.

dan crenshaw lost his primary by 15 points. incredible. was not even close. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

CoreCivic should be stripped of all government contracts and sued into oblivion. Corporate death penalty.

For all the Claude fans.

Hey San Diego folks, I’m gonna be talking with the truly excellent @maggietokudahall.bsky.social next week at the Downtown Central Library. Come join us!

I will simply point out that none of the Platner fluffers want Dems to ever address racism. We *know* already how you wish to remake the party and it has nothing to do with us.

There is no such thing as an "ethical" billionaire-run "A.i." company. Delete your accounts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

Nothing to see here, just the Manhattan Institute Manhattan Institooting.

ICE is an evil institution that must be entirely defunded, demolished, and abolished.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

One of my favorite parts of last night’s election results. The only Democratic talking point should be: we don’t abandon anyone.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

I've now printed and shipped over 20,000 whistles, sent across the country to groups that need em. That's 20,000 off a single 3d printer that has basically run continuously in my basement since about mid-January. The crew I print with has sent out over 1M now, and we can send to you too. toot.supply

wtf

i love this MICROSLOP
