The United States voted for this. Everything that happens from here, this country has earned in spades.

This is probably the end of freedom of speech and expression in the US. Burning a flag is inciting a riot. Insulting Trump or a Republican is inciting a riot. Ditto blasphemy or being trans in public. Every action becomes a federal felony if the DOJ doesn't like it. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Got some stickers made of the Fuchikoma in my last project. Pretty happy how it turned out.

In a close vote of 51-49, Senate Republicans defeated an effort today by Democrats to insert language into Congress’ annual defense authorization bill that would have forced the public release of case files on the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING??? 😡

I recently finished up a scene I've been working on a while. Inspired by the Ghost in the Shell manga and PS 1 game, I made a retro piece driven by a cel and VHS shader for a retro look. youtu.be/GWKyjTTGuQ8?... More break downs can also be here found here: www.artstation.com/artwork/nJX2b4

Long time no post. This was one of my last pictures taken on my 2024 Japan trip. The setting sun looked really dynamic through the train windows. #streetphotography

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

This image, from the WaPo article, is worrying to me. Nearly 50% of the current dominant group in US politics favors a system with a single leader, no Congress, and no elections. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Recently got into retro gaming. I dusted off my Xbox 360 and got a PS2(never had one growing up). One thing current gen games don't do anymore are movie/tv show tie-in games. These were generally mid with lower production costs and time, but they have a charm. Modern games need more mid titles.

Yodobashi Camera Shinjuku. This is a popular photography subject so this is nothing new to what people see. But last time I was in Japan the lights weren't on. So wanted to get some shots of it the 2nd time around. #streetphotography

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I realize that I probably have more photography focused followers than art/game dev at this point. But this is a WIP background for a visual novel mock I'm working on. I'll eventually draw(badly) an anime character and mock up game UI for my untitled game idea.

Street photography while in Japan. I had a 1/2 black mist filter on the whole time. Honestly should have taken it off for some shots but I'm fine living with the results of it always on. Was trying to capture interesting moments of light/shadow and reflections. #streetphotography

When we look back at Trump's second term in office, it will be seen as one of the darkest periods in US history, and also one of the dumbest. There will be "Death of Stalin" dark comedies about how party members try to make the resurgence of polio a good thing in the media.

Film photography with a point and shoot, Canon EOS 750qd(1988). This was right after I got back from my company party. IT was really foggy so went out and shot some stuff across the street. Also used a blue streak filter.

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋
An illustration showing a metaphorical “large high wall” separating “Church” and “State.” On the side labeled “Church,” buildings resembling places of worship are captioned “Religion goes here.” On the side labeled “State,” there are government buildings and a public school labeled “Science goes here.” The top of the image displays the text “BUILD THIS WALL.”
