Taking an occasional respite from KAOS to focus on my art for a few seconds. A remaster of Viewner Screen from Dorsal Fin was released in 1997🎶

As the MSM remembers Charlie Kirk and speaks out against his horrific assassination, let’s recall the Minnesota Congresswoman who was assassinated on June 14th 2025 along with her husband and their dog.
Do you even remember her name?!
Her name was Melissa Hortman. Her husband was Mark Hortman. Their dog was named Gilbert. Their assassination left two children without their parents and her state without a beloved former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Trump calls it a “gift to America.” I call it what it is: a $400 million bribe disguised as a jet, that he keeps. Paid for by Qatar and US taxpayers, owned by Trump. Corruption at 35,000 feet:

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

DOGE disbanded a team dedicated to government efficiency—something Elon Musk claims to want to promote.

At the point on our timeline where millions of lives are put at risk because one person must insist on the truth of lies the internet taught him.

The peak was when President Zelenskyy calmly asked him about the problems in Ukraine, which Vance basically responded with that he watched it on TV. This was the final dead giveaway of his manufactured outrage.

I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.

Trolling has gone from an occasionally used tool on the right to a unifying touchstone of an entire political faction. "Call it a coalition of the crass," writes @alibreland.bsky.social.
