A photo of a campaign flyer. It says "No Fun Estuardo" across the top in big red capital letters. It has a goofy looking pic of Estuardo's face surrounded by pictures of a glass of beer, a Chinese takeout carton, dodger stadium, and the coliseum, all with dollar signs imposed on them. At the bottom it says "From dodger games to concert tickets to curbside dinner pickup, Estuardo Mazariegos wants YOU to pay higher fees on just shot everything fun."

Elon Musk can "own" some gigafactory in Arizona or a launch pad in SoCal *only* because a state exists to enforce his title on his behalf. That is, because the violence of the state is *a service provided to him* as an owner of a title to land and machines. The state's purpose is to provide […]

A stately voluminous vessel with a tall, ringed neck. The exterior is intricately carved with geometric patterns and an abstracted roselle calyx design. It is painted in deep iron red tones with accents of light blue and olive green. The interior is glazed glossy aqua. The background is plain, dark brown.

A stately voluminous vessel with a tall, ringed neck laying on its side at a diagonal with the bottom visible at the left of the frame. The exterior is intricately carved with geometric patterns and an abstracted roselle calyx design. It is painted in deep iron red tones with accents of light blue and olive green. The foot of the vase is also carved with a geometric pattern. The background is plain, dark brown.
