The bees have discovered Brutalism
Remember "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"?
It seems as though those days are behind us.

I really want to go to Japan but since the chance of that happening is almost zero, I paint half imaginary/half real places in Japan.

They're trying to silence the media because they don't want you to know what they're doing.
Trump megadonor Steve Wynn has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, which protects the media's ability to aggressively cover public officials. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

There’s a better chance of that asteroid hitting Earth than me ever getting to take a trip to Japan. So, I paint pictures of places that almost exist.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

"Disrupt" is code for "Destroy reliable established services so that money previously widely distributed now funnels into a single source." Just like "AI" is code for "Mine the work humans did in the past so we don't have to pay them for their work in the future." That's why VCs like both words.
“Disrupt” is a very Silicon Valley word. Every time I see it crop up in a business-case, my bullshit-detection hackles go up.

I've personally seen those diseases in the remote and ignored parts of the world, seen what they do to people, to children, horrors most vaccinated Americans never know.
Anti-vaxxers are goddamn fools. So is any nation that would entertain their insanity.

As a guy who spent the better part of my adult life in the US military, I've had every vaccine (including a few considered "experimental") for every disease you can imagine and plenty for things you probably can't and wouldn't want to.
Never had an ill effect.

It is really wild how big tech has actively turned on the web that made them rich. They all reject those who contribute and don't understand that their services are becoming less popular because people don't get any value from the info they find there
Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled
He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it
Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free
