I don't share as much art as I used to, & I don't make as much art as I used to cos:
1. Slop machines made it even more difficult to get paid for making art, so I do more of other things that do pay. Cos I have bills.
2. Stuff artists do share ending up in the slop machines is pretty demotivating…

A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."
