The geopolitical equivalent of having shat your pants 10 feet away from the bathroom, & deciding that simply standing still & continuing to shit will produce a new & splendid solution to your predicament.

“Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” -John Maynard Keynes

That we take markets to be a barometer of anything other than how a bunch of rich idiots are feeling is wild. Markets are fundamentally irrational until reality forces them to not be.

From Reconstruction to "We tortured some folks," from Iran-Contra to January 6th, a prevailing ideology of American politics is that no one should face consequences, nothing should be fundamentally changed, and we should all happily move on as if ignoring the problem solves it.

Here’s the thing about folks speedrunning the creative process with AI:

I could go to the beach every morning and put a grain of sand in a cup. They’d take their cup to the beach and fill it one day; but the point isn’t to have a cup of sand. It’s to fill my life with a thousand trips to the beach.

16 years ago I did a single-page story called "The Process," and only much later that I realized I was just describing the ADHD thought process... 😅

I used a 3d resin printed Flareon base. The base of the terrarium was sculpted with air dry clay. And most of the paints used were from Vallejo and one Citadel brand paints. The terrain was made with a texture paint from Vallejo and a highlight brown paint from Citadel. This Flareon terrarium belongs to @rainboq. Sculpted details were made and added by me, painted by me and the terrarium was filled with decorative moss, a small cut branch and flower tuffts.

Flareon Terrarium!

This belongs to @rainboq.bsky.social. I made it as a Christmas present for her! The base is made of air dry clay, covered with textured paint. I used model paints for the flareon, and decorative moss, tree branch rings and some model flower tuffts.

Time to bring back this Patricia Lockwood banger.

Karlach accidently burning down the ladies tents. Its fine cause she can do no wrong.😌

an artwork by Spindle of the characters Asimov (half-elf woman with white hair tied up in a bun) and Ottilie (human with brown sort hair and a black hairband) Asimov is behind the couch shooting hearts at Ottilie, who's on the front on the couch sitting and looking to the side, pretending to be "uninterested"

thank you for 70 followers <33

this is me giving love to you:

I trust you already don’t buy sbux, but especially not today.

Friends of Sunny,

Due to an unforeseen family medical emergency, our lovely duckie is in need of our support.

To know Sunny is to know warmth, support, and kindness. And now is the time to remind them that warmth, support, and kindness is available to them as well. (1/3)

The war machine is done with them, why spare resources ensuring that they're able to enjoy anything after?

Of course, nothing is to stop them from finding solace, the bonds of kinship, and even love in each other...

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the right), a half-elf with white hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a blue dress (with yellow accents and a red stripe on the bottom), sitting and kissing Ottilie (on the left), a human with short brown hair tied up in a small bun, wearing a green cardigan (with orange circles print, and white trim), white underwear, and black thighhighs (appearing green due to the tones of the art). She's in front of Asi and leaning on her, kissing back. The kiss is tongue-style

i bring more women kissing to your TL

whats scary abt the censorship wave is that we will have no place to "move to" if the new mastercard/visa mandates are applied broadly to the entirety of the internet. just yesterday i saw mangaplanet is shutting down their official translated BL distribution platform bc of payment processors

Evening warmup

I have a lot of work to do tonight but nothing but bugs on the brain

It's a digital flat colored illustration of Rachel Amber from the Life is Strange franchise. Its implied that she's laying on the grass / ground, gently holding herself as she looks off to the side. She has a wound on her forehead that is dripping blood down her face.

I'm right where you left me

It is as axiomatic to them as breathing.

We've got Gavin Newsom et al. eulogizing a version Charlie Kirk who did not exist, Trump et al. blaming his death on leftist violence that didnt happen, and the entire media apparatus denouncing Dems for dancing on his grave, something no Dems are doing. Has The Discourse ever felt more unmoored?

"We're scared that if we report on him as he was we'll be deluged in a torrent of hatemail and death threats" is the vibe I'm getting from the press.

AAAAA, or, the Sound of Screaming
