Commission piece of Dani Anbessa the lioness in AWD's style holding planted flowers.

I got my commission piece of my character Dani Anbessa from @awd.bsky.social a while ago.

They look so cute in their style, please go commission them.

It's a Cotton Candy Boba Lemonade.
...If you ever want to trick me into a drink, make it uniquely colorful...

Dumb bear gets dumb sugar drink before a movie...

I had a Lavender Lemonade earlier... I'm telling you... Colorful drinks are a weakness...

Hoppers was great.
Pixar keeps proving that all their original story movies are still great, they just keep getting crap advertising.

Valuing your own moral vanity over preventing the suffering of the very people you claim you care about.

Yep, that’s selfish. And immoral.

And it could have been so different if institutions that caved over EOs or baseless threats just told him to fuck off. You can easily place the hubris of this war on the lay down of Big Law, Colombia, Bezos, all of these feckless assholes.

A political movement based on sheer disgust that their every thought might possibly not be 100% objective reality.

My bead is that they’re *vaguely* aware other people are. People, with a separate reality, and they absolutely cannot cope with the idea except with coercion to make the icky not-them thoughts go away.

I concur.

I see this on an almost daily basis in business. A complete lack of awareness - or denial - that other people have agency and can impact an outcome. It’s bizarre tbh.

The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.

Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent.

With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call “strategy” looks like.

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

OMG, I feel like this ties right into what I said earlier.

About how liberals basically understand what conservatives/leftists want and will do, but conservatives/leftists have a completely wrong idea of what liberals want and will do.

“Theory of mind” is the exact concept I was looking for.

I guess I’m just really angry today. And I’m angry because I’m scared, and I’m angry because people are suffering, and I’m angry because that didn’t matter to so many people.

It's the breakdown of civilized society. And it's *rude*.

A brief recap of the Zootennial Gala

#Zootopia2 #ZootopiaOC

It has crossed into co-dependency.

Both sides are annoying me so bad. This means I should put down my phone but every single day something starts them up again!

Throwing bad faith arguments in front of a leftist is like throwing grains of rice in front of a vampire. They feel compelled to expound on every one until the sun comes up and history is decided for them rather than by them.

My point is there's only so much energy to go around and hearing the same fucking circular arguments with new coats of paint by folks who don't actually *do* anything but feud on social media has grown beyond tedious.

It has less to with this specific instance that it being the latest flavor of it.

"Here is my list of points about why...."

great, go take them to the patrons of the Lobster Barn bar's after work crowd in York instead of flogging them on a social media platform with a microscopic user base

It's not even a left vs centrist thing because I've seen both groups taking either side, depending on where they think the score the most points against the other.

Platner is a turd but it's a biz bizarre seeing folks who have zero chance of influencing an election in Maine expending this much time and effort getting using as an excuse for internet fights instead of, I dunno, putting in work on battleground they could actually have an impact upon?

"I can excuse raping teens, killing people in the streets, giving all our money to billionaires, violating international law, and pissing off every ally we used to have, but I draw the line at paying more at the pump!"

he honestly might as well just say "how the heck we supposed to get rid of all the brown people when gas cost more money"

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.

All art is self portraiture.
