WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art
An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

Wow this is wild. Props to having the courage to quit a prestige gig because of your beliefs. Impressive as hell, frankly

Posting & wondering if @amandadeibert.bsky.social has seen it.
Nobody: what's your favorite paradox?
Me: If you ask Rick Ashley for his copy of the movie UP, he cannot give it to you as he will never give you up.
However, in doing so, he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley Paradox. (from a June 2020 twitter post)

We used to make shit, build shit in this country. Now we put our hand in the next guy's pocket. Or so I was once told. This shit is going to make the mortgage-backed securities scandal look like a time of modulated economic growth and sober investment opportunity.

This makes me fucking sick and infuriates me all over again. Getty & Corbis did more to destroy the image-making business than any other entities, saying it was business evolution. They brainwashed image makers into going broke & buying the BS while bean counters got REALLY wealthy. Sound familiar?

Erik Sabrowski enters for Williams and sets down Murakami swinging to end a bases-loaded threat. Williams ties Charles Nagy's franchise record for strikeouts in a postseason game, going 5 2/3 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 12 K, 1 HBP in a performance that will live on in Cleveland lore.

If I recall correctly, his hustle won a 1-0 game in the closing weeks of the season. He stole second and third before beating a tag at home. He's one of those rarest players whose actions elevate the entire ball club.

Lots of awful in the world so we have to take our wins where we can get ‘em, even when the victories are small. Jerry Jones is unhappy today. Miserable, in fact. This is a win.

Exactly so. If not for an audio-visual medium to showcase his bombast he'd have been relegated to low-level regional sports coverage. To my eye, he understands the entertainment part of the job more than the actual mechanics of any sport.

Lane Johnson is a Hall of Fame offensive lineman. He has done things purely on the power of his mind that would leave Stephen A. Smith crying. I think Smith would do well to ensure he and Johnson are never in the same room.

Was just talking on here with @ericaschultz42.bsky.social about this very thing yesterday as it related to another multi-national playing fuckaround with creators' livelihoods. These firms use spreadsheets that literally do not have decimal places for rounding errors that represent entire our income

The only possible downside to Paxton losing is the national D party getting too over its skis for "turning Texas blue." Having won two senate seats in Georgia has had mixed results. 2024 might have played out a little differently had there been less hubris, e.g.

Not even a rounding error for most spread sheets. Giant multi-nationals don't have decimal spaces for $1k/month. Loose change from the couch cushions, figuratively speaking, is literally the difference between basic needs and insolvency. It's maddening.

Richard P Clark @zippyrich.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
This is a common circumstance–our basic needs as independent contracting creators don't show up on the radar of private equity spreadsheets. (Oh and by the way, $1k/month doesn't cover deductibles or copays. I say this from experience.)

Richard P Clark @zippyrich.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
The absolute damnedest thing about the bean-counters: their ignorance of the impact of small margins. Small margin impact to overall revenue stream is beneath their macro notice, but that small margin is HUGE for individual creators. It's the silent evil of private equity and media consolidation.

Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]

It's almost as if GWB found the single worst possible person for this appointment after The Senate Borked the Harriet Miers nomination. It's not even that his judicial opinions are garbage–Alito is a genuinely bad person.
