It is time to paint witches!! 🔮🌙

watercolor and ink painting- a witch stands facing the viewer. She is wearing an outfit based on traditional Scandinavian dress, save the witch hat of course. She holds a staff in her hands that has a sleeping moon on it and a long red banner. She stands, a vignette, in front of an archway made of entangled trees.

hot take: most of Hollywood’s box office crisis could be solved by making movies that cost 50% less, hiring unknown actors instead of superstars who need 20 mil paychecks, and taking risks on new ideas rather than brand names that are supposedly safe bets. nothing is a safe bet.

"It relies on its enormous data-bank. What did you expect, a brand-new sonnet? It can only retail* what it's been fed. It can only select, not invent."

Maren Faine describes the talking machine "Ol' Orville" in The Zap Gun (1967) by Philip K. Dick

NO KINGS!
The Australian perspective... "The British themselves would not accept an Australian as a head of state, and it is time we declared at that level who we are, at last."

Call this a geriatric rant if you wish, but at 90, I’ve decided enough is enough

I’m fond of King Charles but, on my significant birthday, I must declare: I am not his subject. I owe him no allegiance.

They might be able to shove their propaganda at southern airports but it doesnt mean I have to see it here.

I'll unblock this regime once it's no longer a regime.

Until then... 👋

Not a peep from Musk about this government spending. Was the chainsaw from him worth it, Elon?

A tweet from Armand Domalewski reads: “The total USAID budget was $35 billion by the way.” Below it, a retweeted post from More Perfect Union says: “BREAKING: The Trump administration is doubling its Argentina bailout to $40 billion.”

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

If free health care for life is good enough for all of our politicians, then it should be good enough for all of its citizens also!

NATIONAL HEALTHCARE FOR THE PEOPLE.

No one should be denied medical services recommended by a doctor.

If I have to listen to another white guy on Youchube tell me that I'll never draw good if I don't know the name and placement of every bone and muscle and what shape every sphincter in the body is I'm going to go insane

U can learn to draw a body by just like. looking at it. Observational drawing.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Good news, you can still fully enjoy the original no matter how bad the sequels are. So doomed is a really stupid term for something that is essentially trying to beat money out of a 40+ year old movie.

The idea that anyone who works 100% on computers can't just live and work from literally any where in 2025 is insane. I could MAYBE see if you time zone with the rest of your was insanely off but if you and your team are all like in the US or in Europe where the time difference aren't that great.

Reminder: If Bernie's Social Security bill was signed into law, Social Security would be solver for the next 75 years, benefits would go up by $2,400 & the bottom 91% of Americans would not pay a penny more in taxes.
Instead, Republicans want you to work until you drop dead.

Wish I could be as optimistic as David is about this, but speaking as someone who did his thesis work on the history of corporate personhood in the Supreme Court, the odds of SCOTUS not intervening here on behalf of the plutocrats are approximately zero
