Elon has intervened in two legal requests in the US: one for Trump, and another for likely suspect leakers. A description of his efforts to stall the Trump warrant is in the Jack Smith report that Aileen Cannon is refusing to release.

Finally finished this one: "years of punishment and luxury" is mixed media (analog -mostly acrylics and water based paints- on cold press board, and digital pixel welding). DM for sale, either the original or prints. #art #artshare #abstractart

OK, I just want to temper everyone's enthusiasm with a story. A few years back a new player emerged onto Twitter. They called themselves the Intelligence Workers Union. They claimed to be a group of intel types who'd been secretly unionizing (since intel staff famously can't do so) for a year.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"raw, mostly instrumental, and weirdly arresting post-punk pop-prog…something. The guitars sound inspired by 80s King Crimson, Talking Heads, and early A Certain Ratio, but the compositions veer often into No-Wave territory not unlike James Chance." #Nieuwegein zeruch.wordpress.com/2025/02/03/s...

If there's one thing we know about the Trump administration is that it is the complete negation of a nutsack.

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

If the justice system is gutted, and replaced by a regime where cronyism makes adherence to laws optional, who will want to hire skilled lawyers trained to counsel clients on complying with the law? That's a question lawyers thinking about joining Trump's attack on the rule of law should be asking.

Whenever the next set of consumer/employment indices get published (if the junta doesn't cook or otherwise prevent publication through mass firings) I suspect these numbers will plummet.

#artshare from 2004. An illustration of one of my favorite musical auteurs, Vernon Reid. Most famous for the band Living Colour, his full catalog is really a mind bending trip through genre-bending adventure. #art

I don’t judge Mitch McConnell for his choice of political party. I judge him for his greed, racism, and hunger for power. I judge him for causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump. So will others. So will history.

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired directly by the Founding Fathers The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper

7 years ago, I was in Italy (Sorrento, Napoli, etc Al) on a business conference side quest. And I am reminded of the fall of the #Roman Empire. For no reason in particular...

I get it. They need to lay low and fall in line, as they've wedge themselves between #Muskchurian ire, and the almost inevitable rage of their constituencies when they realize they've been had. They're just collecting government checks until they bounce.

Evolution of an #abstractart idea using mixed media, primarily acrylics & inks on cold press board, scanned and then manipulated along with digital elements into this, in turn iterated upon repeatedly. It's already evolved significantly from these as well, but getting close to done. #artshare #art

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

It's easy to hate guys like @therickwilson.bsky.social for past transgressions and even their naked current skill sets. I admire the clarity, frankly. And the focus on tasks that align with immediate political necessities. "Do you want to be right, or do you want to be effective?" matters.
