I recently spent some time in downtown Newton, NC.

Holding large prints of my own photos feels so empowering. This statue of Athena stands in a hall of statues in the Vatican Museum.

Sharing some WIP footage for a new experiment that uses photochromic pigment and a custom UV laser projector. The images fade over time, allowing for an evolving canvas. More info here ablairneal.com/project/forg...

I feel like I'm not hearing about any protests at all right now. I know a big part of this is because of collusion between social media companies, but have no idea how to work around this. Even the folks I follow who were active before in places like Portland don't seem to be talking now.

My area of research is convict leasing. In the USA, when labor is forced outside of a punishment, such as before a guilty verdict, it is called slavery. This isn’t hyperbole…

When asked about the benefits to society of Universal Basic Income, David Graeber mentioned this.

Netflix has 4748 movies right now. Subtract the "originals" nobody cares about and there's 2503. How many of those are worth watching? The average blockbuster had twice that. @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social has 150,000. Fuck streaming & paying forever. When I wanna see a movie, I'm getting it on disc.

everyone please call senator Jar Jar Binks. he is considering giving chancellor palpatine vast emergency powers in the Galactic Senate

Researching information for a local mural, I learned about Indiana's electric interurban passenger railway system in the early 1900s. Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania were all connected by this system. Its too bad we don't have anything like this anymore.

Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism. We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.

Basically no one in government has the courage of a woman who writes about video games online

Wanna see some concept art for Lovesick? Check out Gina's thread! It was amazing having her step in to the role of Art Director for this. She really knocked it out of the park.

I still believe in this city, but I'm one of those 3/4 that came and left. I miss Portland more than any place I've ever lived, but with high housing pricing, I couldn't afford rent, and there's not good path to home ownership because prices are so high.

Y’ALL THERE IS PEER REVIEWED RESEARCH NOW JUST PUBLISHED IN NOVEMBER 2024 “Human pluripotent cells are capable of entering a reversible dormant state” I AM SCREAMING

The idea that Dems think they're too far left is pretty damn wild.

Something, something, quid pro quo.

This is Meta’s brand new ad for Horizon Worlds. Not sure how I’m supposed to feel about it.

Anybody positing that the problem with the games industry is that devs are too expensive is gonna get an instant block. For the cost of one EA CEO you could afford 213 devs making $120k apiece. Read the room, my dudes; a LOT of very skilled people are out of work right now. Profits are trickling up

Crazy Taxi but you’re shopping for Instacart.

"Fascists rely on your compliance. On your ignorance. They depend upon your fear." There are more of us than them. Noncompliance, and when necessary, malicious compliance, are moral obligations.

Y’all. SciPlus but for art supplies.
