This is a video of my art show in 2017 at City Center Gallery in Columbus, Ohio. It contains over 150 mechanized ordinary objects, each timed to move once an hour.

Since then I’ve changed my focus to doing philosophy of mind. It’s harder than doing art.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

McConnell would not allow the senate to vote on Obama’s nomination to SCOTUS for nearly a year without consequences. I can imagine Johnson pulling a similar trick with seating democrats.

Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

I’ve read several holocaust memoirs, but it was a while before one of them made me realize that on your first night there, the bunks were full of people crying.

This is Trump's America—where all of us, but particularly marginalized communities, are at risk of being beaten & brutalized & abducted by the administration.

"getting increasingly serious about bombing Venezuela" is a euphemistic way of saying "getting increasingly serious about killing Venezuelans."

An important corrective to US propaganda, from a former minister in the government of Ecuador: "US warships off Venezuela aren't there to fight drugs"

The US warships off Venezuela aren’t there to fight drugs

Washington’s Caribbean build-up isn’t about traffickers. It’s about projecting power and pushing regime change.

"The Bradley-Martin Ball was a lavish costume ball at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City on February 10, 1897. Cornelia Bradley-Martin … organized the ball. Eight hundred socialites spent about $400,000 imitating kings and queens."

The critical reaction was swift. Today we’ll get 🤷‍♂️

Before the Ball took place, the Bradley-Martins drew fire from all directions, as newspapers criticized its extravagance and clergymen urged their congregations not to attend. One clergyman denounced the ball by saying: "You rich people put next to nothing in the collection plate, and yet you'll spend thousands of dollars on
Mrs. Bradley-Martin's ball" ("] After the ball many ministers preached against its excessive consumption and the authorities promptly raised Bradley-Martin's taxes (as well as those of their friends and fellow-attendees the Astors) quite out of proportion to those paid by anyone else. The Bradley-Martins returned to England, where they had owned a home for
several years, and Scotland, where they leased a 65,000-acre (260 km2) estate,

I expect this to be like updates to iOS — terrible, unnecessary changes. They’re just looking for something to do.

(I’ve never seen their AI-driven labeling of comments as spam, rude, etc., to be correct. Maybe work on that first.)

"Kids dressed in Halloween costumes, walking to a parade, do not pose an immediate threat to the safety of a law enforcement officer. They just don't," federal judge Ellis told Lead Trump Thug Bovino, after ICE tear gassed a Chicago neighborhood, forcing the cancellation of a Halloween parade.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

In the original Aesop’s fable The Ant and the Grasshopper, the Republican ant refuses to give the grasshopper any food, and is used to highlight the importance of being productive. In the Middle Ages, the Democrat moral of the story changed to emphasize the importance of charity.

Her facebook post:

The Facebook post:
I'm so anxious about this whole shutdown. My husband's veteran using his GI bill for school. Which that's affected and we get good stamps since I'm disabled and he's in school. We have 2 kids, one is 2 and we're waiting to get her tested for autism. She's a picky eater, l've tried other foods but in the end I give up because I don't want anymore screaming. My 6 month old is starting purees. Yes we get wic but still. I don't know how we're going to pay
rent let alone our other bills and get food. I do cook everything from scratch and l've been adding rice, beans or noodles to stretch it out. I'm just at my wits end and I'm overwhelmed. Plus we're almost out of formula, he asked his mother to buy a can until our wic
comes in. Her response was we voted for this.

Apparently Vance has fallen for 17th century European propaganda portraying the Native Americans as savages, giving a justification for colonization.

A 17th century depiction of native Americans as cannibals.
