Before this administration, I used to ask, “who would be dumb enough to destroy a planet?”

This is cool. So cool.
When I was in the ceramics racket, I was assisting a pretty famous Japanese potter, Ken Matsuzaki, during a demo. Nothing major, just rolling coils. At one point, he turns to the translator and talks for a minute. The translator turns to me and says "He says you make nice coils and are very cool."

The star of the film, Steve McQueen (not the British director, the other guy) is from Beech Grove, IN. I grew up not far from there, and had family there, and I didn't know until recently the coolest guy in the movies was from that sleepy SE Indy burb.

2. It's rare for any creative, including writers, to be able to live solely off their creative income. Moreover, there is no correlation between the creative value of art and the income status of its creator. It's okay to have another gig to eat and pay bills and survive our capitalist hellscape.

WATCH St. Paul police, aiding ICE, restrain a man and spray him full in the face. They are not and have never been on our side.

Hey @mayorcarter.bsky.social are you in control of the St. Paul police or are you no longer in control of them as they are claiming on the ground as they assault residents?

Substack has a Nazi problem AND a health disinformation problem
Substack creators and Substack audiences are supporting a platform that profits off of promoting dangerous antiscience content – at the expense of public health.
