They put AC in 8th century palaces in India lol

I love this side by side of the opening scene (as shot versus finished) from Spectre, of Daniel Craig as James Bond in Mexico for the Day of the Dead celebrations.

getting an awful lot of mileage out of this one lately (to wit:)

Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

People who AI generate niche fetish art disgust me. A computer can never know the truest depths of your perversion. That has to come from the soul.

My pithy comment: the difference between the Democratic Socialists winning and the Tea Party winning is that the press gave favourable coverage to the Tea Party

People can’t afford groceries but these brain geniuses simply believe their lying Plagiarism Engine is entitled to hundreds of billions

Jeffries seems confused about who won yesterday and who lost.

this is all very nice but get ready for an establishment backlash they've been wanting since Mamdani got elected in the first place. if they no longer see Mamdani's election as a fluke, they'll see it as a threat.

from the same people who were telling the left for years "look voting third party is just letting the right win, if you're so mad then just find some Democrats you like who can actually win a primary" and then people did that and now they're furious

Mildly amused to see people grimly warning that the blood-dimmed tide of populist unrest has swept aside all bonds of civil government and unleashed the power of the Mob on an innocent and unwitting nation because the outgoing New York City Comptroller won a congressional primary.

Im at least old enough to remember Ted Kennedy in the Senate. What is anyone under 30's association with this family? RFK Jr? It's like trying to bank on being related to John Adams

The level of evil to have a trillion dollars, but still make unnecessary cuts that starve children would to be too ridiculous for a James Bond villain even.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

It's unconscionable. Just truly evil. I read a piece about how when DOGE came in, stuff explicitly told them that thousands would die preventable deaths, mostly children and they just didn’t care. That's incomprehensible to me.

I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. wait I'm also mad. @a24movies.bsky.social this is bad and not good. read the room.

it was working and we were winning against the immune deficiency scourge and now millions and millions of people will die who would have been saved if not for the actions of one elon musk

Tfw someone posts a better reply than you immediately after you’ve replied

It's midnight a full year later and I still can't get over how perfect this photo of Grace Jones is.

I think Elon Musk is JUST sentient enough to be dimly aware that he is damned for all time - that his name will be pissed and spat upon for as long as his filthy legacy is remembered - and that delights me. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The Robber Barons believed in three things that Musk does not believe in. Divine judgement. The United States. Social and civic order - i.e., physical and cultural infrastructure - which served to guide and build capital. Musk cares not a jot for religion, politics or society and it shows.

The Robber Barons were villains but there was a culture amongst the % of that era of a pissing contest to see who could be the fanciest, get their name on the most things, support the most, etc Patronage was always the silver lining to wealth inequality. Musk is worth more, but somehow worthless.

An extremely high profile defamation trial centering around the truth of the statement “Musk‘s actions killed children” might be as close as we get to a tribunal - which is why he will never take that case to trial.

This part... "a juvenile child fleeing..." He was 1.

Some amazing art of Ignis from @amayensis.bsky.social ! Ignis gazes down on you from above. The question is, is he crowned by the sun... or eclipsing it?

Anyone who says, "Money doesn't buy happiness" and means it has never really had to worry about money. It may not fix everything, but boy, it's incredible how much more you can enjoy life when you have enough money to live it without stress.

i need to reemphasize that i saw them let a guy go yesterday with a bag of weapons

Hey everyone! I just posted 22 new volcano tissue box covers in my Etsy store. They are lidar (or radar)-derived scale models of actual volcanoes that I art-ified. Lots of cool colors in this batch that include Etna, Olympus Mons, and cascade favorites. They sell FAST. phaneritic.etsy.com

I understand the collective reaction to this event, but I haven't yet seen any analysis of the environmental impact of this. Military operations in general are a hugely under-reported global driver of climate collapse. So let's talk about it. Here's a thread on the Kapotnya refinery. 1/

"LAPD seeks more victims" is a funny turn of phrase to me. Also, did this guy scam any of you nerds? ktla.com/news/local-n...

This has been a tricky week for being able to focus on making art, and also a zero sales kind of a week, so if anyone wishes some original art in their life, just sayin, I’ve got some. www.chloecumming.com

I feel like people aren't saying it enough that the Pope pretty much said to his face he isn't a Catholic, and continues to do so

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

I just finished this knitted custom order of my 'Octopus in the Shallows Beanie' and really like how it turned out with a green top instead of blue. She wanted seaweed added with the octopus and I like that too. The pattern is available on Ravelry. 🧶🦑
