"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

A new day.

Speaking of which, if not just particularly recently, but especially today I’ve scrolled past random posts making calls for aggression, to rise up against tyranny and fight. Declarations of “inevitable loss of life to stand up for liberty” etc. Often in images. Aggression farming bots. Block them.

This is why it's so important to know what's happening inside your criminal courts. The stuff you see in big news moments is happening in there all the time---we see it all first, and we see it regularly.

As a public defender, I need you to know that the tactics you're seeing right now in the news are not at all new. Lying about what's clearly evident on video? That was literally my first trial. Making the victim into an alleged aggressor? That was a couple trials later.

Hi friends! If you have been wanting a deeper dive on how our criminal court system doesn't work, now's your chance, bc Goodreads is doing a giveaway of The Price of Mercy! Please share far and wide...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/234352824-the-price-of-mercy

‘CAUSE LOVES SUCH AN OLD FASHIONED WORD, AND LOVE DARES YOU TO CARE FOR THE PEOPLE ON THE EDGE OF THE NIGHT, AND LOVE DARES YOU TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF CARING ABOUT OURSELVES THIS IS OUR LAST DANCE THIS IS OUR LAST DANCE This is ourselves…under pressure.

I got new Sony earbuds and I’m dancing and cooking to the Sing 2 soundtrack in front of my kids, who hear nothing. I recommend this activity.

now that i’ve seen lord of the rings, i can truly appreciate all the memes

Check on your parent friends after winter break ends. They don't get a winter vacation and just go back to work more tired than they started.

Does anyone have any experience with selling art prints on a store like kickstarter etc? I finally got a few of my pieces printed and framed, and they look nice. But I think I would struggle to justify the labor involved without it being a bulk sorta thing.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Caught orange-handed 🍊

I can’t believe I get to see this outside my living room window. Unreal.

Keeping people in the dark makes it easier for politicians to control narratives.. and those narratives can land us in some pretty dark places. Here's better data:

Sneak peek of our new Cozy Casual pose reference pack with Luca (@gnomedic.bsky.social) ! 🤎✨

So perfect.

There’s a lot going on. I don’t always talk about it or join the conversations online. But despite the anxiety it can cause, I am grateful for the independent journalists, legal analysts, and thoughtful people trudging through the muck this year. Please enjoy a Fuji sunset.

A reminder that before Trump and then both parties turned "fake news" into a term of dismissiveness, it stemmed from dummy websites made in 2016 to look like real ABC or CNN pages meant to fool readers and spread false info. That technique sadly still lives on.

Gooood morning

Heck yeah.

Anyone out there dying to draw an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery story? 👀🔎

Oh no. Noooo. Tell me what AI and any-other-term-manufactured-to-hide-it’s-actually-AI “quality of user experience upgrades” that I’m going to have to turn off the moment it’s updated. ffs

A Mount Fuji sunrise for your timeline cleanse.

It is still wild to me that one of the most famous volcanoes in the world that I grew up reading about in textbooks about faraway places…is just outside my window.
