“Regular Animals”, an art installation by Beeple 🤮 at Art Basel in Miami, features billionaire-faced robodogs that take photos of spectators & then “defecate” the so called “artistic impressions”, some of which link to NFTs. Printed “Excrement Samples” sell for $100k. Creepy af innit?

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:

1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

If ICE agents believe they have blanket immunity or that citizens have no right to record them, it’s up to the rest of us to disabuse them of that error.

A free society depends on public oversight of government force, and on courts that uphold that freedom. @walterolson.bsky.social

Does everyone realize what’s happening?

4th amendment rights are gone.

Trump has declared that we are in armed conflict with S. American gangs. They consider them terrorists.

DHS can now raid an entire building in the United States if they believe “terrorists” live there.
