@syrl.bsky.social is so cute when he's getting a bowl of ice cream :)

I want to drink a White Russian that tastes like a Dr. Pepper float...

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

There may be more Dem Senators who were in favor of folding, but voted NO to avoid falling on the sword. If you don't trust your Senator, when you call, demand: 1.) That your Democratic Senator come out and insist that Chuck Schumer be replaced in Senate Leadership, 2.) Withhold unanimous consent.

Y'all, we need to pressure our senators and representatives in congress. Call them today. Even if they reverse this decision, make plans to primary out the Democratic Party politicians who voted in favor of folding.

Is the shutdown over? Not yet. Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5. There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House. Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen. Stay loud. youtu.be/mdFRfeGRKfI

CALL YOUR SENATORS!

Micros are free. You can just take them home with you.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Dear hopeful leftist candidates... If you want to win primaries against entrenched Centrist/Corporate Democrats, you NEED to reach out to minority communities, especially BIPOC communities. Your stated policies do not matter if minorities do not feel included. Mamdani won with such outreach.

Man, I remember when the Shiba Inu Puppy Cam was a new internet phenomenon. Was in art school at the time. You'd see it on everyone's monitor in a small video window in the corner of the screen when you walked into the computer lab on a busy night. Those good doggos kept us motivated and sane.

Doggammit... ... @syrl.bsky.social shouldn't be able to just so casually call me "seat cushion."

The quickest way to get me to avoid your YouTube videos and channel is to post an A.I. thumbnail. Getting sick of YouTube music channels trying to copy Chillhop and Lofi Girl's formula while using A.I. art. A.I. art always makes me question the legitimacy and intent of the person presenting it.

One day, I MIGHT move out of the USA, but only if I feel like it can't be saved from its current predicament, and I can't help make it a better place. Also, after years of being told, "it could never happen here," and it happening here... the experience has taught me that it can happen anywhere.

I think, next year, I'm gonna try to wean myself off social media. Avoid being on it for an hour while at work... then an hour and a half, two hours, etc. A little more each month.

Good practice, if you're illustrating lots of character portraits/busts, is to collect gesture sketches of different poses. Fill a 11x17" spread of tiny pose sketches. Be as detailed or minimal as you need, as long as you can go back and refine them into a neat illustration later.

there he is

CALL YOUR REPS TODAY.

It's time to call your Dem Senators and remind them that all that stands btwn the regime and the lives of 51,000 Americans a year is them holding the line. If they cave they show they have learned nothing. You make a power move, then be powerful. Don't cave. Your bite needs teeth. Hold the line.

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Running an Old West themed D&D campaign has me reading up on all sorts of topics... Today? Furniture and notable furniture crafters of 1800's America.

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

... Maybe I can get a drink or 3 for myself this weekend... as a treat.

Friends, if you're sending me images/links/stickers or any other media that isn't basic text, I'm not going to be able to see it when I get home.

Dear Californians, As a citizen of Texas, thank you!

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

A lot of good news this morning after last night's election results. Don't let Schumer, Jeffries, and other centrist/corporate Dem politicians try to spin these developments as a justification for centrism, or claim that Mamdani's campaign isn't/shouldn't be the blueprint for the party.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Happy Bi-News Day to all who celebrate.

Gonna be fun listening to the news today. 😌

Met up with friends to work on art in the library on Saturday. Gonna do it again this coming Saturday.

All my friends: "Say the line, Crux...!" Me: "..." *Looks down, depressed,* "I hit my data limit..." All my friends: (Connection: *Loading*) All my friends: "Yaaay!"

It's a lot of fun that the US industry intentionally sabotaged the 2D medium because they thought CGI was a workerless future, whereas countries that didn't abandon illustrational animation were able to advance it while also integrating its techniques into their CG, pushing them far ahead.

Devotion beyond death.

If you're in Jersey and you're voting later today, double check where you need to vote Sorry for the inconvenience due to unfortunately tiring neonazi hijinks, but you got this!

Long shot Can't stay still, gotta keep goin'

Genuinely, stop giving FNAF promo. He still gets paid from it all. It's his IP. Y'all talk about dropping HP but can't drop FNAF?

Why do dragons like fucking cars?

Yall NEED to go vote. I literally do not care if you feel anxious or its hard to make time or, and this better not be you, "there will be enough votes it will be fine" We all watched as the current president beat who we -thought- would win by a tiny margin. DON'T BE THE ONE TO LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN
