we've reached a saturation point where furry art is so ubiquitous and so popular that it's created a sort of stylistic inbreeding. the thing I'd like to see more of is artists who are looking at stuff outside the bounds of the typical interests of the fandom - stuff outside of even my own interests

ok.
art in the fandom can be incredibly inward-facing. artists can, and often do, have all the technical skills of a pro illustrator, but are incredibly limited thematically and stylistically by a clear aversion to drawing on artistic influences outside the fandom/contemporary media (anime, etc).

"I think what we're seeing across this country is the terrorizing of people, and it's not simply something that is happening in cities far off from the one that we're sitting in."

Zohran Mamdani, the Internet’s Mayor

Mere months ago, New York’s mayoral front-runner was polling right next to “Someone Else.” He spoke to WIRED about building a social media machine, Big Tech capitulation, and learning from Eric Adams.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

this, from astead herndon's profile of zohran mamdani, is a good thing to keep thinking of

“I think for a long time, it’s felt as if the safest place, especially as a Muslim in public life, was to be in the shadows,” Mamdani said. “And yet we see that that safety is all too tenuous. And to allow ourselves to be intimidated is to, in some ways, allow for the continuation of that very kind of politics.”

in 1968 sottsass designed the prettiest manual typewriter ever released (imo), the Olivetti Valentine. this is one of my holy grail things to get someday.

(for his part, sottsass later disliked the valentine and said it was a failure bc he wanted it to be cheap and disposable, not just art)

hell yeah! theo put some Statement LEDs in your old bedroom and it looks really sharp.

biggest thing i can suggest to improve the space beyond that is a tad annoying to do but really helps more than youd think: put up curtains and use them instead of vertical blinds. makes the place look 'spensive

the extent to which social media is just not fun—and there's no way to consistently make it fun—is an underrated part of the problem with it as a format of communication

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
