@jupiterdi.bsky.social @indigopatricia.bsky.social www.woodtv.com/news/artpriz... Art prize is going on right now. Saw this on the news and thought you’d like it. Love the use of indigenous materials.

ArtPrize entry pays tribute to Day of the Dead
At first glance when you walk up the stairs at the Grand Rapids Downtown Market, the massive La Catrina looks like a colorful mosaic. If you look closer, the materials tell another story.

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Screenshot of America.gov answering who won and lost the 2020 presidential election. It states that Joseph R. Biden Jr. won and Donald J. Trump lost, with an Electoral College result of Biden 306 to Trump 232, and links to National Archives and FEC election results.

Republicans are wasting time making AI-generated political memes to mock Harris and Jeffries. If only they put half that creativity into actually lowering inflation 🎨 theconversation.com/ai-generated...
theconversation.com
AI-generated political videos are more about memes and money than persuading and deceiving
Don’t discount the threat of AI political videos fooling people, but for now, they’re mostly about bolstering group identity and cashing in on viral content.

@okovody.bsky.social Thanks for introducing me to kintsugi. Very early yesterday morning we had a wicked thunderstorm, blew 2 heavy glazed pots (and the ferns in them) off a table on the porch. The pot walls are .75-1 inch thick. I’m gonna get a kintsugi kit and try my hand. Mostly clean breaks.
Broken pottery and items blown around on a porch by a bad storm. Fern is in the foreground.  Picture is through a wet window and not too clear.

We found some fraud, waste, and abuse. Trump ordered the National Park Service to spend $5 million on a project to paint four horse statues using 23.75-karat gold leaf. This money was intended to maintain our national parks, but instead it’s being spent on gold paint for statues.

Trump made $636 million from his crypto memecoin in 2025. He got a cut any time someone traded the coin, which he frequently encouraged his supporters to do. The one million of them who bought it ended up losing $3.81 BILLION. Trump will grift his own supporters to enrich himself.
