When Twitter was a thing during his first term, the visual arts circles I ran with were constantly in shock at how truly awful everything his team touched was.
Despots detest art. They will claim love for "traditional" arts (whatever that means) but have no knowledge or technical understanding of it
The font would appear to be English 111 Adagio CE, available for the highly presidential sum of just $39.75 USD

I'm still unclear whether this is expert level satire or if she's foolish enough to think the Uncanny Valley is something that can just be crossed.

People gripe that their leaders are "corrupt" and then offer from zero to next-to-nothing stipends and wonder why the government is full of only wealthy old white guys.

If you want We The People to run the government, we have to be paid.
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.

We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

Growing up in the midwest in the '90s, there were water features and waterfalls everywhere. Malls, department stores, restaurants, airports, corporate plazas...everyone had them.

Now they've all vanished. It feels like that's a story that needs to be told.

There's been a lot of talk about the higher ups and national groups who did and didn't endorse local candidates and "what that means."

Here's my brief take having run and won City races: keep your national politics the fuck out of my elections.

When people choose to rely on social media instead of local news organizations, and choose to be ignorant rather than educate themselves on local elections, this is the result.

Systems are built on the principle assumption that everyone wants the system to function effectively.

In this way, a government is like a city street. We get away with a simple stripe of paint to keep people from crashing because people don't want to crash.

I'm not saying the Republicans are grossly incompetent nazi thugs, I'm just saying laying off 2.2M, starving 45M, and stopping payments for contracts worth 24% of annual GDP isn't going to end well for any party in power in any nation at any point in time of history.

8/10 of MO-7 Rep Burlison’s last Facebook posts have the “laugh” emoji as the top response in case you’re wondering how well toe sucking for the Trump agenda is doing in “deep-red” southwest Missouri.

The convicted felon who also went bankrupt 4 times is bad at managing the world's greatest economy?

Funny that.
Highest credit card delinquency since the financial crisis 14 years ago.

Add that to home sellers outnumbering homebuyers, consumer confiance plummeting, consumer spending plummeting, inflation increasing, growth decreasing unemployment increasing… a brewing storm.

Good economic news all around👍👍

One of the key under-reported drivers of people finding "AI" generated slop acceptable, in my opinion, is the fact that 54% of adults read below the 6th grade level.

Amazon wants to replace over half a million workers and it only saves the consumer thirty cents per item?

So they're actually saying they could *add* thirty cents per item and **DOUBLE** workers salaries.

By the President's own math: we're in week 3 of his shutdown. $45B in lost wages/productivity.
43k in predicted job losses in the private sector.
All because elected Republicans want to kick 20 million hard working Americans off of their health insurance plans.

Insane and incompetent cruelty.

Having been to COTA for the USGP, it's wild how F1 promotes the cowboy schtick as if that's the vibe.
I spent the whole weekend away from the track in bars playing sludge metal and the team logos were everywhere.

The nazis are banging around this concept of "heritage Americans" which is defined as folks whose ancestors were here before the civil war.
