Core to playing this down is pretending that "Young Republicans" aren't 40 years old with top positions in both the party and government. One's a state senator.

Shown this one before over the years at the old site, but once again for Bsky, CT scan images through a live pumpkin scanned at 600 micron thickness, w/ lots of post processing, video flythrough, etc. The detail is exquisite. Best seen not on a phone. (🔖 it) randomfootage.homestead.com/pumpkin.html

🔥🔥🔥 Today at immigration court 26 Federal Plaza this woman went ballistic to the masked ICE agents who detained her family member. Where are the people standing up to the Gestapo? I never saw this in 4 months I’ve been filming. 👏👏👏👏

I know the temptation is to just scroll past this with a “not surprised” reaction, but you should read this if you have the emotional bandwidth to encounter horrifying slurs and violent sentiments, because there’s an important takeaway: extremism is often performed to reinforce an in-group’s bond.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Ryan Air was a pioneer in this type of abusive pricing.

And the algorithms that recognise the patterns of behaviour he mentions originate in those used by online gambling companies to recognise "high rollers".
