Need another reason to oppose Trump & Vance? Project 2025 calls for eliminating free weather reports and ending NOAA as we know it. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

The MAGA Plan to End Free Weather Reportswww.theatlantic.com Project 2025 would all but dissolve the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

I’ve never made fan art, but I love the USPS and it hurts to see the effects of years of Republican work to destroy it.

I didn't have to pretend. The USPS is a genuine Public Good. I did fan art for it. I Love the USPS.

FIREFLY INTERLUDE I'm fortunate to have several species of these beetles in my backyard! When I first moved in, there were few, but some basic help has led to increases in their numbers. If you live in firefly territory, here's a great resource on how to help them: www.xerces.org/endangered-s...

the other really awesome sighting occurred in the last five minutes of the dive; they encountered a squid at around 125m and spent about five minutes filming it fairly close up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ky9...

Venture capital has literally outsourced the training of its LLM to corporatations and THEY FELL FOR IT. It's amazing, to me.

If you're still using Sticker Mule for your stickers, they are EXTREMELY Trumpy and have been since the beginning, seriously stop using them. I use standoutstickers.com and stickerninja.com for all of my stickers. When you buy from me, that’s who you’re getting, and they're not bigoted.

Evidence if you need it but this is literally just one in a long string of very blatant support, including financial support. When you give your money to Sticker Mule, you're giving money to Trump. The owner has even said so. bsky.app/profile/amal...

Anyone still ordering at Sticker Mule? Don’t!

Artists and creatives time and time over are talking about how what we do is both loved and looked down on. Our work is often desired deeply for so many things, our skills are often seen as very useful—but our same work is devalued to the point where tech is used to poorly replicate us

Me: *assembling a sandwich* My brain: If you're having necromancer problems I feel bad for you son I got ninety-nine problems but a lich ain't one. Me: *staring at sandwich* Where the fuck did that come from and why?!

Today in, how is this an improvement? Paypal's new invoicing tool hides most of the item title making proofreading difficult. (All of my bookmarks start with "Bookmark" followed by artwork title.) I do not understand why this field is so narrow, the amount of blank space on my screen is massive.

Got a tulip catalog in the mail today that has a section that is needlessly exoticising the central Asian mountains tulips are from using a partial globe image that also includes a Constitution-class star ship from ST:TOS which means I suspect they also stole that image off the internet.

As a staunch opponent of political violence, I greatly prefer when national leaders respond to it by condemning violence and expressing concern for victims (image 1) rather than encouraging violence and laughing at victims (image 2).

Cocoa Bunny says speculation based on limited and incomplete information is irresponsible and he would rather wait to get a more complete assessment about the developing story.

I have been working on this for the past two months, after growing increasingly concerned about the influence this industry is trying to exert. Did you know crypto companies have spent more this cycle than the oil or pharmaceutical industries, despite being a small fraction of the size?
