Cornell picked an interesting time to send me an alumni survey.

I normally ignore stuff like this, but this time I filled it out.
Screenshot of a survey It shows a question that says in which Cornell activities are you likely to engage in the future? There are several options and then a fill your own option where I wrote “protesting their pathetic capitulation to Trump“ everything is marked unlikely except the one I wrote. Screenshot of a national Alumni survey that asks the question “how can Cornell be a resource to you as an alum?“ The filled text says “They cannot. They've lost every last iota of respect or goodwill ever had for them by capitulating to the Trump administration. CORNELL IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY, and it's embarrassing and shameful.”

In the future, this will be the the photo from 2025 most commonly suspected of being created by really bad AI
The oval office under Trump. A bunch of gold framed photos on a pale, gold wallpaper, with gold weird urns on top of a gold mantle above gilded everything. Two gold chairs. In the foreground is a replica of Air Force One.

Just got a text message saying that Congress is moving to pass a hemp ban.

👀 I don’t remember hearing about that.

Call the Capitol Switchboard:
202-224-3121 and ask for your senators.
Tell them: Don't punish responsible consumers, farmers, and small businesses. Vote NO on the product ban!
Text message that says: Today 5:14 PM Modern Apotheca - This is urgent. As families sit down to Sunday dinner, Congress is moving to pass a ban that would take away your right to choose and make products you rely on illegal again. They need to hear your voice in DC right now. Call the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121 and ask for your senators. Tell them: Don't punish responsible consumers, farmers, and small businesses. Vote NO on the product ban! Text STOP to end

This could actually be true. We made these for my dad because he kept forgetting where the bathroom was.

Maybe he’s wandering, and that’s why they’ve added so much gold—because he just gravitates towards tacky gold shit. Surprised they haven’t spray painted the Resolute desk yet.

I’m so glad I don’t live in Staten Island — although they’re about to get a very good mayor

You see what Erika Kirk did there?

This is awesome!

I’ll be putting up a “DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS” yard sign, but it’s not like I’m in Fayetteville or anywhere many active military are likely to see it.
Black yard sign art that says “DISOBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS” in white and red letters, and GIRightsHotline.org and a QR code.

This sign showed up pretty well at No Kings. I wasn’t sure if it would.

#pathetic
A photo from no kings protest in Washington DC on October 18, a sunny day with cotton puff clouds. In the foreground are US flags, some of them upside down, with yellow organza ties, and a poster that says “not a paid protester“. In the background is a poster with a black-and-white photo of Trump and the word pathetic stamped across his face in red.

Adding some interest to my neighborhood.
Red yard sign that says “without due process, it’s just KIDNAPPING” in a yard with brown and green dry-looking grass. In the background on the other side of the street is fall foliage.

“East wing renovation” is a great term for it if we’re going to call this an automotive redesign

The top says Melania‘s Christmas themes in dark green dotted decorative lettering. Below that are narrow tall images of Melania‘s White House Christmases. On the left, it says 2017 in glittery red letters and shows a picture of white sticks and Melania walking down the hall. Next is 2018 with the dark red Christmas trees. 2019 has red blocks at the bottom and looks like clear glass. 2020 has weird dark brown urns with what looks like palm trees coming out of them. 2025 shows construction demolition of the east wing.

She’s consistent with her vibe. Not sure which is my favorite.

I think I’m going to have more of these printed and put one of each in my front yard.

I switched out the GI Rights Hotline number for their website and a QR code.

If I reopened my etsy store, would anyone want yard signs? I’d sell at cost if there’s a print-on-demand vendor.
Stacks of yard signs leaning on a short stone wall. On the left is a black sign that reads “disobey illegal orders“ and has the G.I. rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487. On the right is a red sign that reads without due process, it’s just kidnapping.

Let’s not Platner.

Nazi tattoo.
Worked for Eric Prince.

If there were a Red Flag Law for Democratic candidates, this guy would be disqualified.

Just, no. There’s time to choose a new candidate.
Wiki screenshot reading: In 2018, Platner returned to Kabul, Afghanistan, for about six months as a State Department security contractor with Constellis, the private military company formerly known as Blackwater. He returned to Maine the same year, saying he quickly grew more disillusioned with the military and what he called fraudulent funneling of taxpayer money to private defense companies.

Who else panics just a little when they get a server-down message on Bluesky?

It reminded me that it’s important to have other ways to stay connected.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that they will find a way to shut Bluesky down.
Screenshot showing the notifications page of Bluesky. In white text on a red bar at the top there’s an! And then the text “The server appears to be experiencing issues. Please try again in a few moments.” Below that are notifications— people who liked a post, and someone who quote posted. At the top it says 9:54

When you see multiple, identical, professionally designed protest signs at an event, it could just mean that you've encountered a single pissed off graphic designer who is willing to spend their own money and take time off work to get their message(s) out.

Just a random thought.
A poster on the left that reads “presidents shouldn’t invade their own countries”. It’s on a blue on blue background with the words “no kings“ repeating. On the right is part of a sign showing Trump‘s face in black and white and reads, this is a disgrace. Below that poster is a box showing multiple signs. The front one is a blue sign with a repeating, no kings background. On the left is a crown with a cross through it and on the right is a frog smiling. This shows the way back of a car. On the left is a pale greenish blue suitcase, and on the right is a cardboard box holding signs. The top one has a blue on blue background with the words “no kings“ repeating. On the left is a crown with an X through it above the words no kings. On the right is a green frog, smiling over the words only frogs. This shows a stack of boxes, two of them labeled “free posters”. The top box shows larger posters with multicolor taped handles sticking up in the air. This shows a display of signs. On the very left is a blue on blue background, saying no kings repeatedly. On the left of that sign is a crown with an X through it above the words no kings. On the right of that sign is a green frog above the words only frogs. To the right of those signs is a cardboard box that reads free posters. In the box is a poster showing Trump‘s face six times. On each face there’s a statement that starts “this is a end“. The six boxes read, dictator, bigot, traitor, coward, criminal, disgrace. The next sign leaning against a short stone wall shows the words “some people have guardian angels” above a photo of RFK Junior. Below that,“I have a raccoon with a crowbar whispering, let’s make it worse. On the very right are posters that read “disobey illegal orders”. They also have text saying G.I. rights hotline: 1–877–447–4447

Couldn’t be happier with my new sneakers.

#FuckIce
Purple Converse sneakers with F#CK embroidered on the left heel and ICE Embroidered on the right heel. They are staking out of a box, on white tissue paper. In the background, you can see the cardboard of the box.

When social media meets real life—

If @amberspeaks.bsky.social hadn’t posted this, I wouldn’t have gotten 36 of these signs printed & brought them to DC, & we wouldn’t have this front page photo for The New Republic.

I hope he sees it and it breaks him just a little bit.

newrepublic.com
The front page of The New Republic. The headline says Republicans should be afraid – just look at who joined no kings protests. The byline is Malcolm Ferguson. Above the headline is a photo of tons of no kings signs from DC. In the very center of the photo is a poster that says “Trump drew a little girl for Jeffrey Epstein“ and has the drawing that Trump did with his signature as pubic hair. In the foreground is an umbrella that says good trouble. On the bottom left is a big poster that says make America good again.
