Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many

...we're all still too angry from the reputational damage to the dollar, including our status as a reserve currency, and a hatred of insider trading/corruption to 'factor' much else in.

I agree with Taylor, but I'll also add it's likely also a great way for Zuckerberg to kick Elon in the teeth, In whatever passes for subtle be amongst billionaire boy-dweebs. Put discovery on threads, as well as search, is an utter sewage fire.

I worked in DLT AML for a hot minute...none of this bodes well, and is only explainable as a form of criminality-enabling masked as just ineptitude.

...and just for the record, #JoeBorelli is the Dom Deluise of G Gordon Liddys. An utter bobble-headed gasbag. Jeanette Hoffman nails it though; the current #GOP is as far removed from its former Reagan-era pillars, as that period is removed from it's foundations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvea...

Art: The Canticle of False Hopes It's a thing where as I expand my various scripts & filters to generate patterns or distort images that the process of generation, distortion, shearing, merging, and in many ways play god to pixel pushing has expanded my compositional approach immensely, for both…

This is why I went after Zuck on threads about his pivot from “we’re going to cure all disease” to “we’re backing the guy who’s cutting funding for the cancer cures”. They all need to own their culpability.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Prog-metal band #Chaosbay, have done a decent overhaul of #thePolice cut "Message in a Bottle". Do I like it as much as the original? Hell no. But they did at least take it in a divergent direction and work it to their aesthetic really well? Absolutely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBiS...

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

I've got a bunch of DMs here asking me, a retired military officer, what I think about Trump going golfing instead of meeting the returning caskets of four US soldiers killed overseas. It might be an unpopular opinion, but you know, good, go the fuck golfing. 1/

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

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.
