I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

Happy puppy day.

March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Not sure how I've gained a bunch of followers lately but hello new people! I do post art sometimes. That was the original goal.

Morning.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Here's the longer video. The clip above starts at about 4:30 min. At 3:05 min, Bovino himself literally shakes the hand of this guy they're targeting.

Racism is so fucked up it is driving people to pretend that they like British food.

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary. This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5kz...

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

It's coming... 🎃

Some polymer clay magnets I made for my gachapon machine! I really like how they turned out! 💖 #art

Building up quite a collection of these quirky characters sipping tea… Which is your favourite? And who should I paint next?

anyone with a high-paying job where you exercise ethical discretion should expect to leave that job by quitting or being fired, and should treat any earnings in excess of a basic middle-class standard of living as funds with which to buy the independence of that discretion.

Moral of the story: don’t fuck with a Virgo when facts are available.

I realize it's been 5 years but how is it no one remembers the early days of the covid pandemic and how scared we were? I was waiting for medical doctors and epidemiologists to do their thing and save us. I welcomed the vaccine after I almost died. Does no one remember how bad it was?!

Cheering myself up by imagining Werner Herzog saying "Insane Clown Posse"

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

In high school, I was complaining about how long the school day was and my teacher turned to me and said, "the days are long, but the years are short" and I was like "what the fuck are you talking about you lunatic" and then the bell rang and now I'm in my 30s.

Hello all! I'm taking commissions to cover my expenses this summer since my university doesn't pay me enough to survive as a grad student. After rent + fees, I only have $300 to last an entire month. I have opened new options at a range of prices! ko-fi.com/gryffoon/com... #art #commissions

I was really burnt out so I spent the evening drawing the creature from the black lagoon in a big floppy hat and idk if it fixed me per se but it certainly didn’t make it worse.

This is probably the worst thing I've ever made [ #art (?) ]

I'm going to insist on calling it the Big Cypress Concentration Camp instead of Alligator Alcatraz.

I need to get weirder with my aesthetic presentation before the National Council of Gender Conformity decides Pam Bondi is the blueprint or whatever

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
