Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

"Nonetheless, holy shit" is the funniest possible Krugman reaction

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Imagine being so insecure that you not only have to control a popular speech platform and demand it amplify your own voice over everyone else's, and modify the algo to pump up your supporters... But then also need to post biased "do you like me" polls to pretend what you're doing is actually popular

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

More good news out of Montana following last week's state Supreme Court ruling blocking their ban on gender-affirming care. A judge has now also blocked their effort to deny trans people self-identification on birth certificates and driver's licenses

You know how amazing strategic ideas will strike you when you’re doing something random? Shower, walk, driving? And even more so when reading very good long-form of almost any kind? So, are you taking the time to do that, or do you still think it’s a "waste?"

Cis people in my replies throwing a fit over me saying "cis." There's a social media site that bans the word cis so you never have to see it. Try going there.

Stolen from birdbox, but this is some of the best art advice I’ve seen in ages. Be weird, be cringe, fucking own it.

Text post recounting an art school anecdote about a girl lightly experimenting with style. Salient bit:

And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:
So here's the thing... I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you're doing interesting things with them.
My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don't hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it."
Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight.
Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud.

spent the weekend playing with AutoGPT. it’s kind of like a roomba. - occasionally it does exactly what you need - mostly it just kind of bumbles around and eventually goes the job done - sometimes you find it stuck under the couch
