Today's Lospec #pixel_dailies #pixelart prompt was *sport* with a lovely palette (that was very similar to the 7/6 one!) -- lospec.com/palette-list... -- used a reference from a 2000-ish GBC tennis game here. Really fun to play with these sprites with this color scheme.

Yesterday's Lospec #pixel_dailies #pixelart prompt was *simulation* with a red-and-green palette -- lospec.com/palette-list... -- drew this from NES F1 simulation Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race. The mechanics in the game are so cute (and so Mario, lol)

Possibly the most enraging thing about the Democratic party right now is that it seems to have no capacity to reckon with this reality - they look at Jaws halfway up on the back of the boat, ready to sink the whole thing, and fantasize that it's Mitt Romney and John McCain waving to them

It's not that the leaders are incidentally bad, the badness is what makes them good leaders for this movement, which again is to make as many people as fundamentally rotten as possible

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

Yesterday's Lospec #pixel_dailies #pixelart prompt was *mystical* with a really funky palette -- lospec.com/palette-list... -- did a version of the sea monk shrine from a rad pixel art game called *Alwa's Awakening* here. Had a blast, I loooooove making a tileset/mockup in the NES style.

When will media outlets let full-time staff writers (who rely on union representation to earn a living wage) write op-eds about the election and its consequences? Instead, they get privileged assholes who milk the lower classes for profit to speak for the people they exploit. Fuck that shit.

"Elites"

Imagine if one of the top prosecutors in the United States was presented an international platform to frequently and coherently make an aggressive case against Trump and his negatives. Ah well, the dream lives on…

In the exact same nine day period that Biden and his White House and campaign have been flailing, Trump has offered voters a window into his own mental state and vision for term 2 It’s not great! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Degenerative AI

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

Watching SGDQ and they are interviewing a rad @msf.bsky.social nurse (and former paramedic) talking about the organization and about her experiences helping in Gaza and it warms my heart to think that some kid watching might want to go into aid work because something they see resonates

Project 2025 was from the Chris Rufo school of fascist communications, where you discuss your evil schemes out loud, confident the "normies" are not paying enough attention to notice. But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice. www.salon.com/2024/07/05/p...

Today’s Lospec #pixel_dailies #pixelart prompt was *half* with a lovely palette — lospec.com/palette-list... — went for an extremely simple mermaid this evening. It sure made me ponder the Half Mermaid studio name a bunch. Because, my brain.

Yesterday’s Lospec #pixel_dailies #pixelart prompt was *nostalgia* with a fun retro palette — lospec.com/palette-list... — went for a classic Castlevania vibe here.

Very Serious People can't resolve the cognitive dissonance involved in the knowledge that Trump was involved with Epstein's pedo ring and so pretend its a conspiracy theory or didn't happen. Trump inexplicably gave the guy who let Epstein skate a cabinet post! All out in the open!

It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"
