I don't out of self preservation, but ya he is really good. Provocative is good to be in art.

Their style is very reminiscent of Jacques-Louis David or Eugène Delacroix but in a Romantic emotional art way

Montréal Musée des beaux-arts has an exhibition of Kent Monkman’s works, who is one of my most favourite contemporary provocative two-spirted artist in Canada. So thrilled I saw the massive paintings in person

True. Most of the rest was expected/ not surprising.

A classified network of SpaceX satellites is emitting a mysterious signal

An amateur satellite tracker stumbled across the signal which is coming from Starshield satellites in a "hidden" part of the radio spectrum.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I love the grown up Coal and Elias, moving from tween to teen/ young man. Still holding hope for those 2 to get actual action when appropriate.

Great for Johnathan.

It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.

The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.

Tired: Trump's Argentina Bailout

Wired: Trump's Failing Argentina Bailout

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 1d

Trump said US wouldn't help Argentina if his "favorite president" Millei doesn't win reelection. This backfired. The peso tumbled. Millei's opponents railed against US extortion. Govt rushed to try to assure Argentines that Trump wouldn’t abandon the nation based on Milei’s political fortunes

Trump Offered a Helping Hand to Argentina. It Backfired.

We are becoming a “papers, please” country, and no one should want that.

A tweet from Roy Drones Jr reads: “Remember when the right wing got upset about a vaccine card.” Below it, a retweeted post from Majority Report says: “ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair… I’m a resident.’” The image shows a man outdoors holding up a yellow citation ticket toward the camera, his face partially obscured. He appears to be wearing a dark jacket and sunglasses, with buildings and a bright blue sky in the background.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

Emanuel Maiberg @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social · 2d

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
