Ruling by decree? "No Kings" indeed. Frog army seems to fittingly reflect the absurdity of our current state of affairs.

"Hate America"? If we are the land of the free, then surely this exercise is loving america? Right?

Scribbles the Witch maybe? Witch I had more scribbles? No idea what the safety cone hat lookin thing was going for. Art is a process I hear!

Haven't done art things in a good while, drawlloween? Seems like a good time to do it again. About an hour or two of sketching, lines, color... planning on mixing this up with color, B&W, pixel, etc. The point is, just do it, every day!

Took a hiatus from the sky (and really all the socials) for lots of reasons, most are probably familiar to you, the reader!

Dropped in because I read that bluesky is attracting more of the science, nerdy, indie game dev, and other smart people things. I'm down for that.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

They are coming for earned benefits. This will turn many voters against them when they try.

Last time America had a King it did not end well for a lot of people.

The Enabling Act of 1933 weighs heavy on the mind.

Rip CFPB indeed. If you're a consumer, this is not good news.

I do wish we could post AT a group of people, say friends or family, instead of having everything public. I guess good we can control who can reply though... getting there it would seem.

If they chop Social Security, we get a big refund of all the money we put in to it over the years and decades (plus interest), right? No? If you've been pullin for a while now, probably SoL

Maybe Trump is playing 4 dimensional chess. Put all these tv stars as head of everything, nothing works out well, people demand to torch half the government, efficiency solves itself! (this is mostly sarcasm)

There was a time this would not have gone over well with The System, this is not normal and should not become normal. #hegseth #gaetz

So sad for Elon as this becomes less and less and less and less of a thing.

Not a mandate.

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

Media Matters being sued in to oblivion (for alleged fraud?) because they bought ads on X to put them on insane posts to point out how insane they were; advertisers see this and pull out from X after seeing the cesspool. Seems to me someone's mad about losing ad bucks.

Somewhat in awe. I look for The Zuck... Microsoft... and other big names to see what is here... and there's no [real] accounts for them. Amazing. This takes me back to the mid 90's or so when the internet was fresh before the big corps got ahold of everything and turned it all to sponsored trash.

Hello Bluesky. Time to dump socials and go here? Let's hope so!
