There's a tendency, possibly unavoidable, to assume everyone you run into online is an evil, ignorant ass.
Which is fine. Conditioned responses, whatever.
But if you're gonna make it obvious and run with that assumption through every interaction, look for the ass in your screen's glass.

This entry into the #blueskyartshow #openhouse I suppose is tricky for some but is evolutionary for me- art as an intersection between design, memes & politics. Only a small fraction of a series in progress.
I warn folks that I post politics, art can absolutely be political. Some more than others ✊

#blueskyartshow #openhouse a hill I'll gladly defend is that memes are art too! Some more than others sure, but all still following in the footsteps of Duchamp's toilet & Warhol's soup cans. Plus bluesky's meme game is kinda 💩 and needs all the help it can get. #modernart

Next up for the #blueskyartshow #openhouse, some #woodworking. My dad refused to let me be lazy during summer breaks so I built a couple bookcases back in high school. Like riding a bike, turns out. A comment box, a speaker box, and a bird box. Notes in the alts..

#blueskyartshow #openhouse When I went back to school I stuck with classes I knew would be easy, one was a computer science gig with an early assignment to build a binary calculator in Excel. I had some fun with it and dressed it up like an old Tandy. Prof thought I'd cheated. #vh1storytellers 🧵 1/4

Pretty sure Obama's own abdication of conscience has all but escaped the public consciousness in favor of lionizing him for the heroic achievement of usually being a more decent human than Trump has been.
Trump allies liken the bombing of alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific to Obama’s drone killing campaign.

There's a #HomeDepot literally 2 minutes down the street from me, a big convenience over 20 minutes of red lights and gas money to the nearest Lowe's.
But if this is their idea of good business, then I'm done with Home Depot.

I imagine Team Trump spent all afternoon yesterday desperately manifesting him sticking to the script just once.

Finally watched this one. Kinda torn.
It was made well. Good characters all around, apes carried the load just fine.
But it was absolutely the wrong story? 2nd half went waay off what I expected, and I liked my idea more. Wound up disappointed 😐 #planetoftheapes #filmsky #apestogetherstrong
