Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Elon is still going on about this. Rep Omar represent Minneapolis, still known as one of the whitest places in America at 59% white. Moreover Omar won this seat by *32pp*. It is one of the largest margins anywhere. You can’t steal a seat that blue.

The nudibranchs are arriving for the #Invertefest party! Chromodoris lochi, Anilao #MarineLife 🌿

Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

I'll be sending out this month's sticker in a few days. This one's a cure mushroom pattern that I started drawing after visiting the Kusama installation at the SFMOMA. www.patreon.com/posts/artato... #StickerClub #stickers #art #ArtForSale #mushrooms #fungi

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

‘The Waymo "may occasionally request a confirmation check" when it encounters dark traffic signals to "ensure it makes the safest choice," the statement said.’ In other words, Waymo’s still require human operators and when all the cars call for help, they don’t have enough staff.

perfect metaphors don’t exis—

Of all the examples of people dying because somebody inexperienced was in charge, the biggest, most horrifying was Elon Musk and DOGE. No idea what AID did, didn’t care, blew it up and at least 600,000 people died unnecessarily as a consequence. Mass murder out of ignorance and bias. Thanks, Elon.

A common name in field guides that's even better: SHAUN the sheep nudibranch. Also it is extremely tiny, under 1cm #InverteFest

This Needs To Stop!🛑 Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"? There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

The Epstein Files aren't about what Trump *knew*. The Epstein Files are about what Trump *DID*. This is an important distinction to remember. We can't let them shift it.

we’ve been over this we just did this in Massachusetts they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

For #FossilFriday today it has to be Mary Anning's 1823 near-complete Plesiosaurus. On 26 December 1823 she wrote to Sir Charles Bunbury sending a scale drawing of the specimen. This was one of several drawings she sent to potential buyers. For more check out www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Happy #InverteFest! #SciArt

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

Joy to the Squirrel! Merry Christmas #sqrlpix

Remember, if you're putting chocolate in the stockings....be sure to put it all out of reach of your sweet pups.

Today, I'm sharing a piece that was originally inspired by serving on jury duty. Yes, inspiration can come from anywhere. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #ink #drawing

This month's sticker is a cute mushroom, made from one of my drawings. I'll be sending these out after New Years Day, to folks who joined my sticker club. www.patreon.com/posts/artato... #stickerClub #sticker #art #ArtForSale #mushroom #fungi #ink #drawing

Seriously think it could be an Achilles heel for @gavinnewsom.bsky.social that he’s been exceedingly hostile to rooftop solar. Yes we need grid-scale plants and batteries. But rooftop helps with surge demands/resiliency

PG&E’s outage in San Francisco over the weekend was unacceptable. Energy is an essential resource and utilities should work in the public interest—not to pad their bottom line by raising rates and neglecting faulty infrastructure.

Day 14 - another Summer exhibition piece inspired by pollen grains #ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite drawings I did this year. It's ink on watercolor paper, and is inspired by kelp. vis.social/@kristinHenr... #ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt #ink #drawing #art

A small change in lithium-ion battery design could reduce fires, researchers say: https://cnn.it/498ArFK

Today I mostly went shopping in Nagoya, but I still found invertebrates.

All I want for Christmas is...

Did some quick art for my kids for Xmas. This one is "Big Shot Bin Chicken" and it's so stupid I can't even 🤣 #art #ArtAdventCalendar #undertale #deltarune #spamton #birds #birdart

BREAKING: We are suing Trump & his cronies to restore the Kennedy Center’s lawful name We @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to represent Kennedy Center Trustee @repbeatty.bsky.social w/ our friends at Washington Litigation Group Congress named the Kennedy Center & only they can change it

More than 48 hours into the PG&E meltdown & most of the Muni subway is still down. Right as people get ready for the holiday. It’s outrageous & unacceptable. It’s time for serious accountability. It’s time for San Francisco to break away from PG&E & create a public utility.

Sculpture by Korean artist Do Ho Suh, 2010s-20s, whose fabric structures recreate the places he has lived, reflecting on broader concepts of migration and what makes a "home".

My first attempt at negative-space painting A light wash, & sea salt, followed by numerous layers of blue-green watercolor, reserving the lights as each successive layer of leaves get darker & deeper in tone #ArtAdventCalendar #Watercolor

“‘My most daring idea is to refuse,’ she said to applause.”

Shaming rarely works on most people, so I will simply say: follow the facts, both scientific and economic, for they tell the same story: The pandemic is far from over. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading; COVID-19 is still disabling millions today. It's never too late to align one's conduct with reality.

Happy Solstice! Not a fan of the dark, so always happy to reach the point where days start getting longer. Spring is just around the corner for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, so here's a happy chickadee for today's #ArtAdventCalendar

Article if you’d like to read: www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

I think this is why fascists love AI art, not because it is good, but because it is bad. Not because it is original, but because it is stolen. To make art as an expression of skill and craft and humanity reinforces humanity. To push a button that steals art and call it your own is domination.

Today, I'm sharing a piece about hope and joy. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #SciArt #ants vis.social/@kristinHenr...
