I'm kidding a little but it seems to just go off whenever people start posting the hashtag again, which definitely happens more than once per year lol

This is my go to now for people who ask. It's well organized, covers everything I would, and Craig keeps it updated. It makes it super easy to give to parents, random peeps who ask me in lines, and students who show up to my stream.

Huge thanks to Craig for doing the work.

kind of want to tell him to read Zinn so he has more than instagram posts to go off - he's using IG sources for most of this

17-year old next to me on the train speaking very confidently about politics, and his friend pushing him to go deeper on each broad assertion. I'm rooting for the friend.

i think it's funny they have to advertise around "people seem to hate this and we don't know why"

an advertisement billboard for AI. it says "AI customer support even your mom will like."

an advertisement billboard for AI. it rips off Captain Marvel's design

an advertisement billboard for AI. it does not mention AI.

there is way less AI boosterism writ across the city's billboards than there was in March. Still a lot, but in March it felt like a completely different universe. Now it feels like a plea against gravity.

I like how many different san franciscos are overlapping here

a photo of union square in San Francisco. A tall statue stands monument to a naval victory in Manilla Bay in 1898. It is framed on the left by a Nike ad featuring Lebron James, and on the right by an ad for an AI startup. In the foreground, paying no mind to any of that, an elderly asian woman plays foosball with a younger asian woman

Just heard Drew Struzan passed away 😞 His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration!

I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken.

RIP Drew Struzan.
