Not to keep repeating myself, but the problem with the Court is not merely that their decisions are bad, but that their entire self-conception of themselves as the Guardian Council of the USA, with sweeping and arbitrary power to maintain the mos maiorum, is utterly incompatible with a free society

With Elon Musk becoming our first trillionaire, I talked to American users of the rapidly growing “Almost Homeless” subreddit, who are struggling to stay housed amid a brutal job market and with social services slashed to the bone. They say this online community is crucial to their mental stability.

The people in hell want ice water

I hate asking for help again, but I’m dealing with an unexpected medical issue - a rapidly growing goiter my doctor is concerned may be serious, right as I’m making a big job/housing decision. I made a GFM for medical follow-up + runway while I figure out the next step. Would so appreciate shares.

Please help Celeste, she does so much for the community.

got some painting in today, in the oversized white lab coat i got to replace my trusty smock

Alan Greenspan was an acolyte of Ayn Rand, dutifully carried class war & harmed millions and outlived so many people who were better than him even if no one knew their names. Tramp the dirt down.

Just laughing at my desk on a Monday morning because Ezra Klein posted his ludicrous and delusional defense of hanging out with Pete Thiel’s elite tech fascist group on X and you just can’t look at it and not think about how all these top tier thinkers keep getting cooked without realizing it

Do you think embracing far right framing on several issues including immigration and trans people while wanking off austerity policies with the invisible hand had anything to do with it or

All the people that have no problem paying their rent are complaining about having to see the posts of desperate folks that don't have the same level of privilege. In case you haven't noticed, this is a collapsed society with a non-functional government. Of course people need help surviving!

So cool that they're screening THE ELEPHANT MAN and THE FLY in this series -- two career-defining classics by emerging directors that only exist because Brooks was able to protect them from studio interference.

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

Publicity is a capitalist gimmick. What books are at the top of bestseller lists speak to privilege & economic advantage, not merit 🤷

Poets: you can be as quiet as you want. The right readers will find you.

YUUUUUP. Listen to Cassandra for once—we are and have been the canary in the coal mine for what they can get away with.
