A long-standing conundrum. I am more & more of the opinion that once a piece is written, painted, whatever it no longer belongs to the artist. The exception being an asshole who is still making money from the piece (I’m looking at you, Joanne).

Sigh

I worry that Delta closing its special services for those in Congress will make it more difficult for Ted Cruz to abandon his constituents in a crisis.

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

Reading this, the parallels to the US are haunting. Yes, Iran is horrifically worse but the patterns are there. apple.news/AUggWkI5qTAK...

Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

The lies defining this moment in America: -The 2020 election was stolen -There’s massive voter fraud -There’s an epidemic of noncitizens voting -We’ve been “invaded” by millions of criminals -Only an authoritarian government can fix these problems -Jesus agrees with all of this

This magnificent bronze cuirass is Carthaginian though was very likely made in Italy. Once thought to date to Hannibal’s time, it’s now considered early C3rd BC. The stern goddess at the bottom is Minerva & wears a triple-crested helmet & a necklace of acorns. 🏛️Bardo, 🇹🇳 📷Alexander van Loon

This delightful little painted wooden horse was a child’s toy around 2,000 years ago. It dates from 1st - 3rd century AD Roman Egypt. The wood has been preserved so well by the intense dryness of the Egyptian climate. 🏛️📷 British Museum #AncientBlueSky 🏺

It should never be forgotten that MEL BROOKS had the World Premiere of BLAZING SADDLES (1974) take place at the Pickwick Drive-In Theater in Burbank, Los Angeles for 250 invited guests - ALL ON HORSEBACK.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

The government should be well aware that I am a citizen. I should not have to prove it to vote. If the government thinks I am not a citizen, the onus should be on them to prove it. Not on me. #VoterSuppression #RightToVote

Fuck your money

I mean, we all expected that right? No other reason to have those documents

Hi, my name is Mike, and I’ve never laid off a single person in 9 years of running my video game studio

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year. Meta got $13.7 BILLION. Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND. Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them. We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

So I'm from Virginia. I currently live in TN and I also lived here as a teen. It's a little complicated. Anyway, the Rutherford County PUBLIC library is where I spent a lot of time as a tween/teen. It shaped me. It saved me. This is a PUBLIC LIBRARY not even a school. And I'm proud of *Luanne.

Literally a new one of these mirror websites blocked me 23 hours ago ... Went to the website it linked ... Same exact guy. New name. Now it's 'Kindlei' on Bsky. @tessahastjarjanto.com @victoriastrauss.com OG Writer's Beware article: writerbeware.blog/2025/02/21/w...

The actual goal of the SAVE act seems to be to bankrupt state election apparatus allowing a federal hostile takeover. The voter fraud excuse is obviously nonsense but the cost of trying to comply with the unreasonable demands is something states are not equipped to handle.

So these goons aren’t cleared to be in the airport but they are on the streets, untrained & armed to the teeth. “For now, ICE personnel will not be deployed in areas behind airport security checkpoints because they lack the specific clearance needed, ‌sources told ⁠Reuters.”

Interesting choice. 🤔

The two stones of the Parth y Gwyddwch (domain of knowledge) stone row in Meirionnydd for #StandingStoneSunday. The row aligns with a clump of conifers on a distant hill. I swear you can see that patch of conifers wherever you are on the coast of Cardigan Bay.

Well this sucks. And I haven’t seen any reporting on it: “For someone with an immigration hearing scheduled …, the case gets postponed indefinitely. For someone detained by ICE, continued detention occurs without access to the court that would normally review whether that detention is legal.” Ref 👇

Now you won’t have to go to a protest to get whacked. It can happen during your family vacation. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Refusal to vote is a valid form of speech, one that says "I reserve the right to be a condescending, smug prick that trusts our future and how the world perceives us to 200 million under-educated, over-opinionated American voters while saying "Don't blame me! I didn't vote!"

Close every single concentration camp! Laws are needed to prohibit all "camps," prisons, holding facilities, from being private, for-profit, businesses. Stockholders of these anti-human facilities should be considered complicit in crimes against humanity. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

Now he’s arming the enemy that he made & is at war with 🤪😑 apple.news/AQ6L1wQ1kRd6...

I’ve been saying for some time that Xi will be the winner in all this. Russia has nothing compared to China.

Today, the US Mint approved a gold coin with Trump leaning over the Resolute Desk. Federal law bans living presidents from appearing on currency, but the Treasury found a workaround. The coin advisory committee called it something only kings and fascist dictators do. They are not wrong.

BREAKING: In our FOIA case against DOGE, the government asked Judge Boasberg to reconsider his order, now I bet they wish they hadn’t. The govt now has to find and preserve comms from Elon’s private phone. @nationalsecuritylaw.org @annabower.bsky.social storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

... and Gavin Newsome responded and deserves a trophy 🏆

Dr. Oz calls Medicare fraud an epidemic. Trump keeps pardoning the culprits.

I really wish she had turned to him & asked, “So, your plan was to attack Japan? That is why you could not share?”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez, "Europe is against this war with Iran" "Because it is illegal. There is no reason behind it" "And it is causing a lot of damage: civillians, refugees, and economic consequences"

We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran. Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. It's obscene.

This has actually happened. 19thnews.org/2026/03/woma...

A competent White House uses the National Security Council planning and vetting process to prepare for then execute, or avoid, conflicts across the globe. While based on intelligence work, the best NSC processes go through various steps from assistant secretary staff to cabinet secretaries.

For about a year I've been working with some of the best reporters and editors in L.A. to build a brand new city news outlet. It launches tomorrow. Is it possible to operate a sustainable local journalism business in 2026? Let me know! lamaterial.com
