β€œthe thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein

[an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

I noticed a month or so into the lockdown phase of the pandemic that a lot of people just sort of felt they had spent their lifetime supply of consideration for others and that they are not being inconvenienced for anyone ever again.

Serious question here: who took over for Epstein?. The billionaires didn’t suddenly lose interest in Child S.A., murder and torture!

This is especially asinine because the amendment was ratified because FDR served more than two terms and used WWII as a justification. The political class didn’t want that to ever happen again.

My dad told me that on the day he turned seven he kissed all his stuffed toys goodbye and put them in a box on the side of the road. It really explains so much of his adult personality. πŸ˜’

people that hate cats are so funny to me because the things they complain about also are complaints autistic people hear about themselves β€œunfriendly” β€œunapproachable” β€œmean” etc

meanwhile the cats and the autistics are just minding our business and not seeking validation from someone

We booked an extra day of daycare this week so I could actually start organizing my art studio. I moved boxes and cleaned and so forth all morning. I think I earned half a donut.

an edited screenshot of Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, where Max (from Sam and Max) is dressed as a jack frost from SMT. he stands before the demi-fiend and says "When I die, I'm taking you with me."

Kids have gotten deep with AI generated stuff because they’re told their job is to generate a bunch of papers to get a degree with no real connection between having the skills that make the degree valuable. It’s just checking off tasks you’re told you must do without understanding why.

I know my father spent a lot of time saying school is your job and you shouldn’t enjoy your job because if you did you would do it for free. He hated science teachers who made science fun because it didn’t count if you enjoyed it. I feel like this attitude ruins learning for a lot of people.

My experience has been that my managers underestimate how much work a task will take and my estimates are basically trying to figure out what the longest period of time is that they will accept and to just miss the deadline several times or wait for the project to get cancelled. 😫

Picture two utter fuckstains, habituated to using LLM's getting in an argument irl with each other that sounds exactly like the slop they've been consuming.

Like they're just babbling complete word salad at each other but with a weird tone of being both argumentative yet cloyingly obsequious.

πŸ€”White people that can acknowledge that Black folk in the US saw the danger coming from Trump before everyone else...

And Reagan and Nixon...

And that knew how best to fight them...

Still can't accept that 87% of Black voters prefer Crockett for any reason other than "She's Black!🀑"

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

I have hit a wall with watercolor. I don’t feel excited about it anymore.

My art goal is to make my own game art. I need to get better at drawing characters and pixel art and backgrounds for that and watercolor isn’t helpful at the moment. Going to try to change direction.

Too bad cell phones weren't more popular back when people primarily listened to radio shows. They're the perfect example of "second-screen" media that Netflix is trying to create.

Democrats, Liberals.

There are no more swing voters. There are no more undecided. These so called centrists you're chasing are just people lying about being conservative. They always immediately rush to the defense of Republicans.

They are NEVER going to vote for you.
