"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding
Kavanaugh: Broad delegations to unaccountable agencies are dangerous for individual liberty! We have used the major questions doctrine to prevent agencies from overreaching.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

The state of Israel was in ‘constant contact’ with a Fine Gael councillor to help him defeat a county council motion calling for an Irish government boycott of Israeli military equipment.

It directed ‘concentrated and intensive activity’ on social media.

Claudia Black: “When I did the first season, people assumed that I’m making hundreds of thousands of dollars. It could not be further from the truth on a role like this. [My pay was] closer to what I was earning when I was 19 or in my early 20s.”

The original artwork of “Video Girl Ai” was stolen and sold online

"There are about 2,500 original drawings across all 15 volumes. If each drawing costs 300,000 yen(1,931 United States dollars), the total damage amounts to 750 million yen. (4,828,569 United States dollars)."

This is me politely asking you all to review this skeet and, as a result, think twice before engaging in "smell-this 'activism.'"

DID YOU SEE THIS AWFUL THING THIS AWFUL MAN SAID

HOW ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GUY, ISN'T IT HE TERRIBLE

OK, so... why are you his street team? Why are you signal-boosting?
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

First time I tried to record a drawing session. Was just some practice after vacation and renovating works to get back into drawing.
It's cut, cropped and accelerated a lot though. The original uncut and accelerated X10 was 14 min. Not sure if it's interesting ^^'

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

I feel like it is culturally important to note that I recently played an old episode of the Simpsons on Disney+ for some kids and then a random newer episode and the kids, unprompted, were like “how come this isn’t as funny?” so it’s not just nostalgia we are correct

My household received unfortunate news that’s going to impact our finances, so I’m trying to offset as much as possible going into the holidays.

I’m selling my like-new, limited edition Grape Analogue Pocket for $450 (with free shipping within the US) - it comes loaded with over 500 games!

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

"The circle is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and the eccentric in a single form and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms, it points most clearly to the fourth dimension."
