I am Art Monster.

I write fiction and non. I make films free of studios. I paint and exhibit. I write songs for Corporal Punishment. I photograph. I act.

In other words, I have the privilege of being poor in a variety of art forms.

I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Call your congressman and reps to vote no. This is under the guise of protecting kids, but it's actually the death of the internet as you know it
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

Now that I’ve spotted a tribute (albeit unconscious) to A HARD DAY’S NIGHT in Nick Harkaway’s superb KARLA’S CHOICE, I need to see it slightly expanded in the film… which of course ought to be black & white… and now it’s got me wondering if Smiley thought, ever, of the Beatles…

Again, no one will cry when these people shuffle off this mortal coil.
MAGA is a hate movement. Megyn Kelly said:

"I not only wanna see them killed in the water...but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out"

Combine that w/Hegseth acting like a teen pulling the legs off a spider:
Imagine being a career officer in the chain of command on Trump's boat bombings. You have deep moral and legal concerns about them. Your faith in leadership is shaky. Then you see Pete Hegseth tweet out a sadistic cartoon about it. Must be awful.

Thoughts on this:

I share Diarmaid’s frustration completely. Trump’s shake down of the NHS should be the headline story on every media channel this morning. Don’t let them ignore this.
🚨 £3bn diverted from the #NHS budget to boost big pharma profits.

Thousands of patients will die every year because of this, but the government decided that was a price worth paying to please Donald Trump and big pharma.

The Pentagon reporters who have been kicked out of the building continue to break huge stories every day while the right-wing New Media continue to post selfies of themselves hanging out in the Pentagon.

Perhaps we should admit that the Trump regime wants Russia to finish this thing so the oligarchs of the US and Russia can get back to doing business with each other.

Some of the smartest, best educated people I know are using AI for personal & professional research.

It teaches me
a) Convenient appearance of well-informed authority, even in a robot, is very very hard to resist;
b) This is the Time of the Humanoids;
c) 0+1 is incalculable.

“Not permitted under the laws of war.”

“Not permitted under the laws of war.”

“Not permitted under the laws of war.”

What war?

I get sleepy now in the late afternoon.

Did I miss a new war?

Now that I’m old enough to’ve heard 54,000 of these, I need to break the news to you: it is who we are.

The only silver lining is that all the attacks on higher education go to show how important it is. Would rather recognition was given in the form of proper funding though.
