It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Congress has not authorized the use of military force.
There were two husbands disappointed by eggs. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

love this (slash hate that this is true) -- but "hot pynchon fall" seems right
bring on the kazoo players

t's hot pynchon fall, where almost everyone in the news has a stupid name, the grift is on, and we're all either deteriorating from paranoia or seeing reality in all its firework against a night sky sharpness

They never should have let me buy Procreate Dreams -- I haven't had this much FUN making art since I was in middle school.

The way you can tell JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is fantasy is because, no matter the scenario, Jonathan Bailey's glasses are spotless.
I read a book for 20 minutes and need to clean mine.

I feel like there's some elemental truth in the fact that you can only monger either fear and war, or fish and cheese... but I'm not sure what it would be.

Finished rewatching Andor ahead of S2. In a finale with multiple stunning speeches, folks haven't talked as much about Brasso's, relaying Maarva's final message to Cassian, which broke me this go-round:

My pet theory is that AI everywhere ultimately leads to a new Arts and Crafts–style movement, because visible signs of work being handmade is the only way to tell a piece of art was created with a human intention and point of view behind it
My partner, who went to school for animation and illustration, was talking about 101 Dalmatians, how beautiful it is, but how recent versions of it have been "cleaned up." We often talk about how making something "better" has come to mean making it look like a person didn't have a hand in making it.

Weird event of the day: parked at Torrey Pines (in the free/public parking) for a few minutes on the way to a meeting to write an email and was blocked in my spot by an ICE truck, stopping to harass the four Latino guys on a break in the spot next to me... So ICE is just patrolling the beaches now?

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
