Is that CAPEX boom in the room with you right now? Every section seems unlikely, perhaps on AI, but considering the continued risk and inflation coming, it will be unable to reverse the losses in job growth. So who is she speaking to?

Thirty years later, I wonder if I could find that same raw energy and thought process after being in academia. I feel like I'm a little jaded. ...to be continued.

I was suddenly and intensely focused on screaming into the void, hoping someone might hear me. Some did, and my first serious body of work, "Transcending Loss" took me into galleries and a museum collection.

I was raw at this time, having worked commercially for 20 years, unfettered by content or meaning... I produced only messages designed to sell "X" to a mass market. Grad school changed all that, and

My recent "retrospective" exhibition in Eugene, OR brought me in contact with various iterations of myself. One that particularly resonated was a work from 1995 entitled "The Altered Past" which is an actual page from Orwell's 1984, illustrated through a layered narrative.

In a future bizzaro world, Powell could do stand-up, just repeating Trump's bombastic BS, while he lowers his glasses and just stares back.

I can't believe he isn't committing slander, libel, or fraud himself. A couple of heavy hitting lawsuits might be a "Come to Jesus" moment. Fuck him, and his rabid, racist followers.

Her district is being heavily gerrymandered in the new map, so she's not nearly as likely to get reelected. Put her in a position that last six years and see her fire in the good old boys club.

The Adelson family gives money to her opponent. Can we stick to policy? The GOP taps more dark money, and we pooh-pooh candidates with open funding sources. Let's get a Democrat elected.

Isn't that their superpower? If they can fool their base with so little effort, don't they feel superior? They've weaponized Dunning-Kruger syndrome.

I'll drive any national journalist around Portland for a day and night, plus parking @ $16, Asian fusion food cart @ $21, 2 craft brews @$14 on a converted double decker bus in the Pearl District, a gourmet hot dog @$15... and we can dance in front of the ICE facility at night. Deal?

September. 10, 2024 Immigrants were "eating cats and dogs," while Kamala asserted Poland was vulnerable to Russian aggression if we didn't defend Ukraine. Damn.

Antoni, heading up the BLS, will soon be working furiously to convince us down is up. Luckily he's pretty stupid and can't explain any of his assertions... having real data will surely make his lies even harder to float.

Students wanting transfers or applications to grad schools are in for a rude awakening when those "good" or "best" schools won't accept their degrees. They'll be forced to stay within the accreditation circle of wagons. Within a decade, they'll be fully fucked by this decision.
