@teapartytempest @reneemissel @AOC "Some who voted for her also voted for Trump" cmon, you's SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT, you can do it I believe in you.

@reneemissel @AOC Not in office. A lot of dems used to be centrists. I voted for those. Progressives have taken over the dem party. Most dem voters are centrists. That's why even in AOC's district some who voted for her, also voted for Trump.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

@reneemissel @AOC The fact that at this point in time lots of people STILL have themselves deluded into thinking that a meek centrist candidate is still the safer play absolutely horrifies me.

@AOC Look in 2028 we need a centrist for either side. Period. Otherwise you will be giving away the country again. Meanwhile, i salute you for hitting the road and raising consciousness, but it is not the time for progressive policies. We must regain the trust of the people.

@snafuqd Burnout is fucking awful, take care of yourself. You deserve to have stuff you feel good about to put your work into.

bigger post coming but heads up: All commissions will be refunded and comms will most likely NOT be offered for a very very Very long time- if ever- again making art isn't fun for me anymore

@ibuprofenbarbii Seeing a lot of Radiohead mentioned but I'm surprised no one has said Videotape. That one for me is crushing in a way I don't think I can even adequately describe.

whats the saddest song u know and i dont mean "lalala i miss my ex" i mean gut wrenching

Here’s an oil painting I made of Mw2 Rust

@MPast2024 @JosephMDAmore @Whatapityonyou "Slavery is when I have to acknowledge that people other than me have rights too"

Everyone asking “how is this legal?” It’s not!! But unfortunately we’ve set the precedent that rich people are above the law so here we are.

@JosephMDAmore @MPast2024 @Whatapityonyou I just want to argue not to pretend that dismantling the federal government on the spot is good for anyone other than the billionaires attempting to enslave us in a state of techno-feudalism.

@Nyahilism @MPast2024 @Whatapityonyou I’d assume so. They have oh more at stake. If you want to argue to remove the complicated tax code, I don’t think you are going to find anyone against that. However, if the bureaucracy wants to make it as complicated as it is… well… I expect complication? 🤷‍♂️

@JosephMDAmore @MPast2024 @Whatapityonyou Yeah except the higher up the income brackets you go 1. the more complicated their finances get, and 2. the more lawyers and accountants they can afford.

@Nyahilism @MPast2024 @Whatapityonyou This doesn’t seem accurate. Prioritization. If you have limited resources, you rank order your priorities. So you look at your tax base, & focus on auditing the largest earners/contributors. Top 10% is about 76% of paid taxes. Top 5% is 66% paid. They would always be audited.

@theresivy @Whatapityonyou That used to be how our tax system worked, then neoliberalism happened.

@Whatapityonyou there needs to be a law where it's like. if anyone ever ends up having more than $999,999 on them then they're forced to donate the rest to charity

@quendergeer @Devon_OnEarth What on earth makes you think he cares what the law requires? He's violating like 10 different laws just being in there.

Nicolas Cage says "protect yourselves from AI." “There is another world that is also disturbing me, and it’s happening right now around all of us — the new AI world. I am a big believer in not letting robots dream for us. Robots cannot reflect the human condition for us. That is a dead end if an actor lets one AI robot manipulate his or her performance even a little bit, an inch will eventually become a mile and all integrity, purity and truth of art will be replaced by financial interests only. We can’t let that happen. The job of all art in my view, film performance included, is to hold a mirror to the external and internal stories of the human condition through the very human thoughtful and emotional process of recreation. A robot can’t do that. If we let robots do that, it will lack all heart and eventually lose edge and turn to mush. There will be no human response to life as we know it. It will be life as robots tell us to know it. I say, protect yourselves from AI interfering with your authentic and honest expressions.” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news…

IF YOU’RE TRANS YOU NEED TO SEE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Devon_OnEarth And then responding with either silence or approval when trump instructs the entire federal government to stop recognizing Holocaust Rememberance Day.

Holocaust remembrance bodies being slowly subsumed by zionists and then collectively coming out as pro-genocide (using nearly identical language) is going to be fascinating for historians and anthropologists to untangle in a couple decades but right now it sucks so fucking bad

please stretch. every day if u can. u do not want to be the permanently hunched over old person who can't touch their toes. once ur fascial adhesions thicken and calcify it's like tough meat ropes twisting ur nerves into an evil cage that only a surgeon can saw apart

"Why is everyone sick all the time!?" Maybe five years of repeatedly catching a virus that damages immune function? "OMG shut up, that's over!" "Seriously, I'm tired of feeling awful! What can we do?" A N95. "YOU'RE CRAZY!" I'm not punching myself and asking why it hurts.
