We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

Folks it’s been half a year and I still haven’t found it. #poetry please help 😭
I am desperately trying to find a poem that contains the line “we flense, grow wet.” I remember nothing else about it. Not only is google singularly unhelpful but the AI feature at the top of the search WROTE A “POEM” containing the word flense (incorrectly). We live in hell.

This is just so cool!
You feel ill at ease among the pines. Something dreamlike and dreary makes your head swim with the shifting shadows as a low buzzing whispers beneath the wind. Then, a blinding light, artificial stars screaming from the ruins as they manifest the glinting maws of the Cosmic Static that hunts you.

@jerusalem.bsky.social makes an accurate observation on Twitter about the true nature of the right’s project - eliminating trans people.
I am curious if we will see The Argument cover the implications of this observation - that there is no grand bargain to be made on trans rights (cont)

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

I just want everyone to know that I am so brave and strong for preordering the Veilguard art book but keeping it in plastic so I can’t open it until I finish the game.

I love this part of the process! Nothing like a nice matte gouache wash to wrap up a piece that’s just fun to do.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Also very funny to me that my first post here is a repost of a nine day old announcement of an upcoming book whose pub date is unknown to me. Are you not entertained, crickets?
