I decided to do the Cursed Relics art challenge (@ cursed.relics over on instagram) this year! I combined all three prompts from week 1 into this drawing: shadowfang blade, lunar scars (on the moon surface), and moonlight scythe.

#cursedrelics2025 #cursedrelics #vectorillustration #vectorart

Vector art of an astronaut wielding the Shadowfang blade, facing off against a mysterious figure in the foreground with the Moonlight scythe. They’re on a lunar surface.

It's important to note that Ezra Klein and his merry band of centrist clowns very often are just plain MISINFORMED. They don't understand the history and politics behind the garbage ideas they push.

Vibes-based fascism support from the "left" is not only morally abhorrent, it's deeply ignorant.

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

Ezra is right. In 2010, 1/4 of the House Dem caucus was pro-life. Without those votes Dems cannot build a strong majority.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!

Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.

like so many products to come out of silicon valley in the last decade or so, AI is a legal innovation masquerading as a tech innovation. the legal theory seems to be that AI is entitled to everything but liable for nothing.

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Just got off the phone with WA state human rights commission. They said even if you're not sure, go ahead and file the complaint.

So, anyone who had a book or game taken down that lives in Washington? I guess we have a next step.

Rob MacWolf, Werewolf Hitchhiker @robmacwolf.thevoice.dog · Aug 13

If true, this is illegal in, at least, Washington state. Contact info to file a complaint here: wahum.my.site.com/FileaComplai...

Look up your state, and if it prohibits discrimination on basis of sexual orientation or gender expression, many do, call you AG's office.

Visa and Mastercard making public statements mean they are sweating.

Sounds like a good reason to call them again.

Trepe Serafin @trepeserafin.bsky.social · Aug 1

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

This is a good model on what to ask your own city councils for - no contracts with ICE, no assistance or compliance with immigration enforcement because it is literally not your job. 🤷🏻

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · Jun 9

Bravo, Glendale. Bravo.

More, please.

And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

The correct response to state violence is more protest, more people. Make it clear that a free people cannot and will not be oppressed.
