The IRGC already has power. The clerics absorb blame. And the existing constitutional structure still does useful work for the people inside it. So will Iran’s regime fall before 2027? Q says no.

@pdxmoderate Those salaries are absurd for a company that supplies shacks

The inmates haven’t just taken over the asylum—they’re running it. Combining a jobs program for people with criminal records with a homeless housing initiative is reckless; these problems need separate solutions. Public support for charities evaporates when executives rake in corporate-level salaries. If these organizations truly lived their stated values, their leaders would accept modest pay—not six-figure extravagances. The fatal flaw in bleeding-heart service programs is the naive belief that everyone is inherently good and will “do the right thing” if given opportunity—and someone else’s money. Reality paints the opposite picture. Urban Alchemy’s 2024 salaries tell the story: •Lena Miller, CEO: $369,923 •Ron Wilson, COO: $282,209 •Kristen Growney, CFO: $264,391 •Jeff Kositsky, Chief Growth Officer: $198,000 Tens of billions of taxpayer dollars later, homelessness has doubled in just three years. The system isn’t failing because of lack of effort—it’s failing because good intentions without accountability are a license for mismanagement. @jvegapederson @MayorKWilson @GovTinaKotek katu.com/news/local/she…

@KATUNews No one. Let private citizens allocate their capital as they see fit

The Portland City Council is set to consider a major overhaul of the city's arts tax today to make the tax less regressive and more accountable. Who do you think should pay the Arts Tax? READ MORE: bit.ly/4wghpHW

ARTISTS THAT WRITE CODE TO MAKE THE ART IS ACTUALLY RETRO NOW. THINK ABOUT IT.

@chooserich You got this and def share posts if you need love or support back from this things of ours

Got my results: Classic Hodgkins Lymphoma Likely won't post much about this primarily because cancer posts are always a downer and I want to focus on the positive. Feels too significant for me not to share though. Kinda wild as you never expect it'll happen to you. 🤷‍♂️

amazing to see CENTS & Rutherford Chang's retrospective covered here! ✊ Art in America is one of the most respected names in art journalism founded in 1913 (just 4 years after the first Lincoln penny was struck). This joins this growing list of major publications where CENTS has been covered: Bitcoin Magazine monopol FRIEZE The Art Newspaper

PXL Pods by Kim, Artificial by Han, Birds by Jules - all large-scale, genuinely new collections released and sold out in 2026 - share a common denominator: innovation. Groundbreaking work tends to find its collector.

@NeithanHador @oregoncitizen_ 24 cents (and rising) on every dollar spent.

@oregoncitizen_ How much of their budget goes to paying PERS? 50% 80% More?

Hmm maybe they should have been smarter when they received hundreds of millions in COVID funds in 2021-2022

Matt Kane is a Chicago-born artist and self-taught programmer who has spent more than two decades moving between traditional oil painting and code. He was a gallery-exhibited painter in his early twenties before stepping away from the art world for nearly a decade in the Pacific Northwest, where he worked as a web developer and taught himself to program. The same instinct that once led him to stretch his own canvases and mix his own pigments eventually pushed him to build custom software from scratch — a digital easel of his own making, designed to let him shape exactly how his images come to life. In September 2020, Matt released "Right Place & Right Time" on Async Art — a 24-layer programmable artwork driven by the previous day's Bitcoin price action, with each hour of price movement controlling the rotation, scale, and position of a corresponding layer. The piece became one of the most cited early experiments in programmable, data-driven cryptoart. He closed 2020 as the winner of the Most Innovative NFT Award, and Cointelegraph listed him among the Top 100 Notable People in Blockchain entering 2021. His broader practice spans projects including VOLATILITY(dot)ART, Infinite Color Theory, and ANONS — work consistently rooted in code, color, and how data and time can shape an image. Gazers launched as part of Art Blocks Curated in December 2021. It is a 1,000-piece collection that joins the blockchain to one of humanity's oldest visual traditions — tracking the moon. Each piece is anchored to an "Origin Moon," a New Moon date drawn from the past twenty years of Matt's life, and from that point on, every New Moon that arrives accelerates the artwork's animation. A Gazer with a freshly minted Origin Moon renders closer to 1 frame per second, behaving like a slowly evolving painting, while one with a 20-year-old Origin Moon runs closer to 20 frames per second. The work is designed to scale forward across decades, growing more animated as time and display technology advance. The inclusion of Gazers in our Flagship Collection recognizes an artist who built his own tools to create work that no off-the-shelf software could produce — and a project that treats time itself as a medium, using the rhythm of the moon and the permanence of the chain to make artworks that unfold across decades rather than moments. Welcome home, Gazers 🌊

335 forecasts. 87.2% win rate. This week Q is looking at the alien confirmation market, Neymar's path to Brazil's roster, and whether Iran can hide Mojtaba Khamenei's condition through December. Read this week's Signal ↓

To everyone whining: this is cyperpunk dystopia as fuck and therefore cool. If this was Neuromancer there would be a whole chapter about trying to manipulate local weather odds to crash an exchange. If this was Snow Crash there would be competing heating and cooling gig workers.
