Here's a small reel of the backdrops I made for one of the groups in Uruguay's Carnaval. Illustrated, animated and performed live.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.
A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best
Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best
Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!
For folks who don't know, @samwang.bsky.social runs the Princeton Election Consortium, which calculates various things about US presidential elections. I've followed his writings for more than a decade now. We could really use a thoughtful person who values data in congress. Please support Sam!
Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say

in my lifetime, U.S. foreign policy has been maximally immoral and incompetent and yet the way this administration has found new and shittier depths to sink to compared to all the cretins who came before is honestly their most impressive achievement
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Also, I hope this proves I'm not a bot. 😆
That time when new DHS Secretary, current Sen. Mullin challenged a witness to a fight during a hearing

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Cricket’s revenge.
This seems like the kind of article that feeds cynicism/defeatism (which when you're a NYT reader gets cast as sophistication). There are a lot of cases in which the administration has obeyed the courts. This story on times when it has not seems like it could convince readers it never does.
This is a great article and got too little attention when it first came out. @propublica.org is doing amazing work.
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
this is literally right wing propaganda. cbs news cannot be trusted.

My friend Alex was the drummer in Green River (people call them godfathers of "Grunge"). Check out this project!
"The Metropolis was the incubator for a sound that put Seattle on the map."
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.
Kristi Noem could not even get a word out yesterday while testifying in front of Judiciary before someone said what millions are thinking.
The American people are tired of violence against our communities. No more cruelty.
The incompetence of the Iran War rollout is just stunning.
Rubio says "Israel dragged us into this war! We had no choice!"
Trump says "I dragged Israel into this war! Regime change! Iranian people, rise up!"
Just bonkers.
The administration is setting up the idea that anyone opposing Trump is engaging in "domestic terrorism," as Trump's EO set out. (This is a way to get around the specific definition of "domestic terrorist" in U.S. law.)
