Largely a lurker. These days I mostly browse art. Sometimes I post miniatures that I've painted for 40k and Age of Sigmar.

Wanted to redo this one actually

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Thinking of these doomie inspired cars again. Kinda want to make more

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of New Mexico have developed a tau-targeting vaccine that could help PREVENT the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In preclinical trials, the vaccine REDUCED pTau, IMPROVED memory AND motor function, and REDUCED brain atrophy with NO major side effects. 🧪🧵⬇️

My pet gar that I donated to Shedd Aquarium would recognize me and swim over to say hi when I visited her exhibit ❤️🐠 A rare hybrid gar, I raised her since she was 2 inches long, and had to re-home her when I moved to Chicago. I was happy I could visit her in her new home! TO BE CONTINUED…

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

U.S. ECONOMY SHRINKS UNDER TRUMP Just months into Trump’s return to office, the U.S. economy has already reversed course—shrinking by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025. That’s a stark contrast from the 2.4% growth rate during President Biden’s final months.

So let us get this straight. When the stock market soared under Biden, Trump said it was because of him. But now that’s it’s crashing due to his policies, it’s because of Biden? Pathetic.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This, as the Department of Education, now on life support, will use its remaining power and staff to begin collecting on student loans paused since the pandemic.

To be fabulously wealthy today means not having to come across anyone who isn’t. It therefore means not having a clue about how average working people live or what they worry about it. The billionaire class is seceding from the rest of society. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-secess...

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…

You are here.

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

"Republicans were never going to be content with eliminating diversity initiatives. They won’t be satisfied even if they manage to shove everyone except white men out of public life. That’s because they can’t actually compete on merit ... talk about diversity hires" -- @snipy.bsky.social

The stakes are growing higher for our constitutional republic.

1. A major bill protecting trans people just passed in Washington. It makes insurers cover 12-month supplies of HRT which can be obtained at pharmacies, allowing trans people to stockpile medication to outlast supply disruptions. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

If there was any doubt DOGE is a scam motivated purely by malice and cruelty, this report from WSJ should remove it. nymag.com/intelligence...

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

Good.

Okay, no. I don’t forgive anyone who voted for him. And I won’t ever. You want to be the better person, knock yourself out.

Impeach him!

Trump is now officially worse than COVID.

“Congress could stop him anytime they wanted to,” writes @hunterub.bsky.social. “But that would require Republicans to have an ounce of courage.” www.unchartedblue.com/trumps-massi...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Trump is still pushing an unhinged fiction about the "glory days" of American protective tariffs, so I'll repost this CAMPAIGN TRAILS piece from last month: campaign-trails.ghost.io/tarri/

Again, if you've got a Republican representing you in Congress -- and I don't care who it is -- call them to complain about the tariffs. They're panicking.

Adobe is backing the GOP attack on click-to-cancel. Last year the FTC ruled that any subscription you sign up for with a click must be cancel-able with a click. Now Republican politicians want to roll back this rule, and Adobe is supporting their push.
