The Proud Boys were the face of political violence in America during Trump's first term. Yesterday he rewarded them for it.
Trump's pardons were a message to his followers:
No consequences for political violence, so long as it's carried out in my name.

After 24 years in Seattle I finally went to check out the original Seattle area Microsoft HQ, where so much historical code was written (8-bit BASIC, DOS, Windows!).
Also tried the Burgermaster where these early MS employees used to feed themselves from (it’s delicious!)

"Lynchian" is a fully realized and instantly comprehensible adjective, as concrete a one-word summation of an artist's aesthetic and worldview as has ever been associated with any artist in any medium. Things will forever be Lynchian, but there was only one David Lynch. #RIP
David Lynch, Auteur Drawn to the Dark and the Dreamlike, Dies at 78
With such hallucinogenic masterworks as 'Eraserhead,' 'Blue Velvet,' 'Mulholland Drive,' 'Twin Peaks' and 'The Elephant Man,' he often left more questions than answers.

The reality is that Salesmanship is the differentiation between the two parties.
The Dems couldn't sell dollar bills for 50c
Trump has found his audience and can sell them dollar bills for $5
When everything is a story the algorithm flashes at you as you scroll, you better be selling fast

It is truly about who tells a better story — or really a story people want to hear and makes them see what they believe rather than believe what they see.
More jobs have been created under Biden than during the full terms of Trump, Obama, or Bush 43. @danprimack.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/01/10/i...

I wish all the fuckeroos that jumped on Finspan as being a cynical cash grab did that for every single trash kickstarter and gamefound game peddling AI imagery as art.
Imagine how much nicer the hobby would be if that provoked rage and not a game employing actual artists.

Tomorrow, Donald Trump will be sentenced as a felon. Tomorrow the whining stops, the stalling becomes impossible, and the hammer of justice comes down on our unfit president-elect.

Fuck Sandy Peterson.
Two years or so ago I called him out on some bullshit around transpeople in sports. He's clearly been guzzling the boomer misinformation pipeline hardcore since then
He had to google a picture of smiling Hitler and a quote to defend his "truth talking" transphobia.

This is maybe the scariest thing that Trump has supported to date.
It is just a first step.
Once the military is mobilized to act with force within our own country's borders, Trump will use it in any way he sees fit against "threats" he proclaims.
We are all in danger.
