“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

I don't know if I'm painting the tree right. I've only heard stories from my grandfather, handed down through the centuries. Before our planet died, he said, you could pluck food right off them. It's a far-fetched idea, but the fantasy helps me fall asleep, clutching an heirloom jar of ancient dirt.

The perfumery smells like grass and coconuts this time. Above the lintel, a scene of a summer picnic flickers in the aromatic haze. My memory, but with more golden light and no ants plaguing the blanket. What memory do I want people to see when they smell me? Each tiny bottle offers a new option.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

I love that the first half of Yu Yu Hakusho is "Yeah! We gotta stop these demons! We gotta get stronger!" and the second half is "The demons have been subject to mankind's cruel ways for a while and your pursuit of power will only turn you into a monster. Hope you feel like shit about it. Bye!"

It is wild that this is the finding of basically every iteration of this poll, large or small, going back years. At some point one would hope that this finding would move more centrist people towards making change, but …

This is a snobbish take, but the Netflix-produced seasons of Black Mirror--while very good quality--do not understand the assignment of the original concept

Me, watching those outrageously long game ads where a little cartoon king is slowly killed thanks to my inaction: death to tyrants

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador.

What I wish the "government waste" conversation was about: Military contractors making a literal trillion dollar plane that doesn't work What the conversation is usually about: Free school breakfast programs in reality that cost barely anything

Reminder that (a) the current share of U.S. workers in the public sector (working for government agencies) is at historic lows (b) It was not until the 'post'-Civil Rights era, when Black workers gained footing in public sector jobs, policymakers began to frame public sector workers as "waste"

The Supreme Court is being asked to intervene after the U.S. mistakenly deported Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. A federal judge ruled the deportation illegal and ordered his return by April 7, but the Trump administration acknowledged the mistake and said it couldn't assist.

I'm not interested in Trump's interiority except inasmuch as it can be a clue to his weaknesses. I don't care what his justifications are, only that he is a human being with a pulse and has all the limitations that such a status confers. He is not a king and he is not a god. He must be defeated.

Saving this bc I'm taking a domestic flight in a couple months and who tf knows where we'll be by then

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Just wrote a short reflection on what I think is my best comic, "...But It Does Rhyme" (done with team CR Florence, @alivonbon.bsky.social, & @jayboy495.bsky.social), for an exhibition in Hyannis later this month. Check it out. If you want to read the comic, pick up a copy of BORDERx: border-x.com

Cartoonist Jackie Ormes (Aug. 1, 1911- Dec. 26, 1985), the first Black woman to create a newspaper comic strip that was nationally syndicated. She created Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem, Torchy in Heartbeats & Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger (Patty Jo became a toy doll). #BlackHistoryMonth

one of the reasons i wrote this piece is to get away from the gauzy mythology of the civil rights movement "spontaneous mass resistance" "rosa parks was just tired". no. the movement remains a masterclass in the tactics--and the *strategy*--of resistance.

Washington Post got their hands on internal documents from DOGE showing the entire plan to implement resegregation. They're going to purge minorities from government by calling them DEI. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Yo, this rules. Now is there a way to get Google to default to verbatim search instead of “all results”?

This is such a tiny detail, and yet it fills me with delight and wonder. This bird is making creative decisions about mealtime. Who would have thought they could or would do that? I marvel at the yet-to-be-discovered intricacies of the universe

Happy Black History Month, bitch. :3
