Absolutely right. And I think it's especially true in this case as ICE has been a magnet for thugs who couldn't cut it in the military or normal law enforcement but desperately want to be respected as A Troop. This is why it's particularly effective when actual veterans show up to mock them.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

'Ink and Paint' was where many of the women artists at the Disney studio started. I'm happy to still see it around in some form.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story.

I have never seen anything like THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR (Netflix) before. It’s a documentary about a racist woman who shoots her neighboor, all told through police body cam footage. It won best directing (US doc) at Sundance and it’s clear why. I highly recommend it! Trigger: kids in high distress

Violence in a church is a wound to the faithful everywhere. No one should be afraid inside of a place of worship, a school, anywhere. It doesn’t have to be this way in the United States.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

AI has only been useful to me as an artist when kept on a VERY short leash. After the Pixar layoff, I joined a startup making new animation tools. We just released this video reference to anim blocking converter. I hope this helps speed along your blocking first pass! Try it out at
