Yeah sure I'll jump at the opportunity to self-examine and describe myself to the world while also opposing the normalization of a tool that demonstrably pillages the planet's natural resources and the work of artists who need money to live #starterpacknoai

Hear me out. Maybe it’s three ghosts of cognitive tests visiting him in the night.
I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

favorite part of the christmas is when santa chooses one child to be The Christmas Boy, and santa makes a small incision upon his wrist and The Christmas Boy drinks deeply of his blood, and then he ascends into heaven to become a new christmas star. he will never enter heaven but he burns so bright

Thinking this morning about the things that tip me into becoming a paid member of various independent media orgs and I would be curious to hear from others about those tipping points for them! Threading a few of mine below. (This is part market research and part genuine curiosity lol.)

my comics advice is: show feet

it sounds like dumb online meme nonsense but it's not; every 2-3 pages make sure you draw your character so their feet show, it grounds them in the environment and forces you to vary your panel composition.

“You’re still the fucking mayor!”
A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

Another little thought-pebble for consideration:

I think part of the reason why people like Taylor Swift can become so culturally dominant is because of the whole white supremacy thing of turning white people into a monolith that robs white people of any kind of real culture. That empty space is
Probably a 🧵

So I’ll admit that for a long time, I brushed off a lot of the criticism of Taylor Swift as misogyny. I wasn’t a huge fan during the early years, but a lot of what people had to say about her *was* misogynistic. And sure, she was manufactured, but so was N*Sync, right?

I keep getting ads for ChatGPT on Hulu and they’re all incredibly depressing. Like every single use case is something where I’d ask a friend for advice.
the way that ai is being advertised now is that everyone has to pretend to be incompetent and incredibly incapable and useless at everything

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

and it's now Election Day for these ↓↓
It’s Election Day tomorrow!

And it’s a big one because Democrats have a big shot at flipping the mayor’s office in Miami.

And also they’re aiming for an upset flip in the state House in Georgia.

Both on my guide of elections to watch. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...
