It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

just in case anyone needs the confirmation - our class had an editor from a well-known comics publisher come in today and told us she won't even look at the dead bird app anymore when they're looking for artists. hosting your own website for your art (or here on bsky!) is the best right now.

Here's another way to phrase my essential position…

If you embrace that your role as a designer is no more inherently virtuous than any other role in the organization, including sales, you will have the best chance of influencing that organization for the better.

This. A million billion times this.

Erika Hall @erikahall.bsky.social · 6h

It's the fault of a lot of educational programs and some consultancies that design is misunderstood as a magic substance. The dominant lore contributes to designers being less well prepared to engage in these environments and see the true limits of their scope of decision-making and influence.

Will Menaker used this as the basis for the best explanation I've seen of Elite Columnist Trans Bathroom Panic in the UK - these people all went to boarding schools where kids doing horrendous things to one another in bathrooms (while everyone kept quiet about it) was part of the curriculum.

Would read/listen to hours long analysis of this dynamic with historical context.

Ed Burmila @edburmila.bsky.social · 14h

Mutual blackmail material has always been the backbone of elite solidarity. Aristocrats don't send their kids to boarding schools because the teachers are better; they send them to learn the group dynamic of being above the law. Whether you participate or only witness it, keep your mouth shut.

this is especially fun amidst reports that they'll also just say your papers are fake if you ARE carrying them

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 1d

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

It should’ve been obvious that new government agencies created with unchecked powers of surveillance and repression in the name of the “war on terror“ would eventually be used against American citizens.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.
