I gotta pin my formerly pinned tweet here because I genuinely think about it a lot; I wrote this down as soon as he said it at the Pulp doc premiere in L.A., and still try to keep it in mind when making anything.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny
also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

I've used Sticker Guy since high school (stickers to give out with my zines, baby! The '90s!), they rule, give them your money instead: stickerguy.com
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

My own mother told me *I* was a paid protestor; she’d call after a protest & say something about Soros & I’d be like, “How’s that work? Will I get the check in the mail? Is he writing all these checks by hand & licking the stamps?” She’d scoff & still not believe me that I hadn’t been paid to go.
Does anybody ever met a paid protestor? Is this something you can put on your tax return? Is it a cash under the table thing? What is the interview process like? How much does it pay, and is it worth getting tear gassed and assaulted for the salary? What about health insurance? Pension?
"You're seeing a lot of paid protesters" -- Rep. Mike Haridopolos's attempt to defend ICE's tactics in Minneapolis during a CNN panel discussion this morning did not go well. Bad used car salesman vibes.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert, and a picture of the band/ artist.
Savannah Civic Center, Hank Williams Jr. I was like, 6. My uncle took me; don't know if it was because no one could babysit me or what. I remember my tiny mind being blown by Hank playing every instrument.

A lot of people like it when Seal goes “Bay-BAY I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.” But you know what’s underrated? When Seal goes “But did you know that when it snows…”

Who came first, these guys or Complete? Always loved the singer from Complete's vocal style, which I can only describe as "jumping out of an airplane/falling down a well in a cartoon":

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.
The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias
