Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

New game: Best Cat Butt Angle. Here's Tawny measuring in at a respectable 40 degrees! Can we get to 45?
Tawny with her butt angle drawn on. It is very steep.

Think of the way that education, housing, dating, or fitness have all been recast as personal investments for future payoff. Everyone's got to hustle these days. Become an influencer; Become an entrepreneur; Flip houses; Invest in crypto; Snag a husband; Drive Uber; rent a room on AirBNB...

THE CHEATED PLAYER: The core of the argument in my new book is fairly simple. Over the last 50 years of neoliberal financialized capitalism, individuals have been tasked with recasting ourselves as competitive speculative players, striving to make the most judicious investments in a merciless game.

It's not often you get public information posters that become design classics, and the rabies posters of the 1970s are suitable for framing. As far as I know, no other infection was given an official, none-more-metal, logo. But the rabies logo rocks!

Having the vampire experience primarily defined by being serial killers was a stroke of brilliance. They have to constantly keep moving. They don't have any friends. They don't own anything. They're always ditching their cars. A truly bleak picture of vampire life.

Second person says "No, you haven't."

These were three individual pieces I did in 2021. Unplanned, they became something of an accidental sequence. They then prompted me to make the piece in the quoted post, of the pumpkin dance, by way of a conclusion. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, each 95 × 64 mm.
Three small silhouette drawings in black ink. The first is of a sitting fox, looking back over its shoulder at a bird on the branch of a little bare shrub. The second has a playful-looking fox, half-crouched, tail in the air, looking at a bird which has just taken off from a branch. The third shows a fox, surprised, its head drawn slightly back, as it seems to have come upon a pumpkin on the ground, surrounded by its vines. It has a face like a carved jack-o'-lantern.

The Hugging Face story is another example of a tactic we saw back in the spring. Let's call it "Gangster With an Honor Code." So in gangster movies, all the characters are bad people who extort, murder, etc. So you give your main character something he refuses to do, like "he'd never hit a lady."
