Sunday Taquitos #8: Never Wrong Art by Ivan Ehlers.

the reason the media doesnt cover stories is because right-wing podcasts funded by billionaires set the information agenda in this country for mainstream media

eventually almost all great moments will be lost. Like tears in rain, huh. If you get the chance, tell people, especially younger people, about these wondrous things that they will otherwise probably never be aware of. They won't care, they have their own great moments, but do it anyway.

While getting dressed I was randomly singing "Close the coalhouse door, lads, there's blood inside", which was from one of the best drama experiences I ever had in my life, and it occurs to me that as we age and die there are fewer people who remember those life-changing moments we shared, and

This is a sideshow of my art from this year. I didn't include all of Sketchtember, just the ones I was least embarrassed by 😅 Doing a month of quick and sometimes messy sketches every day was a good exercise. I will do it again this year. It definitely improved my speed.

this is why they want us using AI

John is tongue in cheek, but there's a statistic in Laura Bates new book that 90% of deep fakes made are of women, and if you don't process the implications of that and come out demanding regulation I'm not sure you're reachable.

That time of year again!

Pour one out for Jim Moylan

Another drawing I decided to finish up before the end of the year. My Beloveds from The Spirealm. #digitalart #fanart #Procreate #Spirealm

Why do we feast and overindulge at Christmas? To emulate the hobbit heroes who saved the world. If Pippin can eat ten thousand calories a day, so can you.

i've been weirdly invested in this dog's sweater alteration IG roodabeguh

Time for Patel to answer for his lies.

Monstrously shitty Supreme Court rulings aren't new (Dred Scott v. Sandford). Breathtakingly stupid and corrupt presidencies aren't new, either (Harding/Teapot Dome). No one is saying things are great, but calling this shit unprecedented or unrecoverable is just factually wrong. Suspiciously so.

The inspo for this one is Xiang Liu from the drama Lost You Forever. Started early this year, but I didn't finish it until now. #LostYouForever #XiangLiu #digitalart #fanart #f*ckAI

Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus. Weiss; What did the driver say. Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times. Weiss: I’m killing your story.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

The New School owns about a billion dollars worth of art, most of which is not on display. They could sell the two Warhols they own and raise $100 million tomorrow. But they’d rather close academic departments.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

NEW: After a lung transplant, Hannah Goetz’s life depended on the generic version of tacrolimus, a critical drug to prevent organ rejection. It was supposed to be equivalent to the brand-name medication — but the FDA doesn’t always ensure that’s the case.

In their defense they never intended to address it because they want poor people to die.

The 1997 movie Anastasia has always had a special place in my heart because I took my mom to see it, so I figured I'd give drawing her a try. I wanted to maintain a somewhat simple look for her since that's what she had for most of the movie, but without drawing directly from the movie itself.

Ah, the golden arches of history. Nice touch, 2025 writers.

4/ Ventilation saves lives. Clean indoor air, through ventilation or filtration, dramatically cuts the spread of respiratory infections. It’s time to treat air quality like food hygiene: a basic public health requirement.

Fuck me this IS good "you are not sure what life is like being a biomechanical bag of infinite holding containing whatever metal doohickey a situation calls for, but you can't imagine that it's a physically comfortable sensation" THAT'S what people want from a horsegame

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

“If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary? “If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder.”

Anyone can become disabled. Anyone can become chronically ill. Anyone can become homeless. These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant, often when you least expect it. It just takes one accident or illness to change your life forever.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

republicans:

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.

🎇🐐something a little magical and pleasant for the end of the year 🎇🌸 #guolduart #oc

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

Zach Woods is on a generational run

Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Threads like this is why I follow Kameron Hurley (and why I buy her books -- she's a great writer! You should read her books too! But maybe not for the faint of heart...)

The future is building a humanoid robot at great cost to replace hiring a guy to hand out water bottles, then hiring a guy to remote control the robot handing out water bottles.

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

More of this!!

I'm just going to post this song as often as possible until it's sweeping the nation. I want to hear this playing in supermarkets.

forget dragon age boys kissing this account now only stans snails

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

Abolish ICE straight to The Hague (yeah, yeah, I know), but the community response to their attempted "shows of force", in multiple cities, is genuinely giving me a glimmer of hope in all this.

Has there been a Lancet study on whether everything written by or for women will eventually be called YA?

Oh damn, Pantone can paint a room but can’t read one
