Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates.

Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction.

So we’re doing it ourselves:

I know they’re trying to turn this shooting into Dealey Plaza with their desperate camera angles and excuses for the murderous ICE officer but how do they explain the subsequent refusal to allow a doctor to reach the car? And lying that they already had medics there? All on tape.

What a contrast:

On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.

On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Okay, I'm going to repeat my Lorde/Weezer theory:

1st album: The big one with all the hits
2nd album: The beloved fan favorite that didn't sell very well
3rd album: The dippy happy one that split the fanbase

So if I have this right, the next video should have the Muppets in it

Sanders: I come from the state of Vermont and I am here Bakersfield. Alexandria comes from New York and she is here in Bakersfield. Mr. Congressman, you live in this district, why don’t you show up…

Same. I’d happily give @dropout.tv more money.

#tropicana is so set on reigniting manifest destiny in the US. Has anyone told him about a whole continent he could claim as new territory. #takeantartica #leavegreenlandalone

No...wrong

I propose a simple exchange. I post some free, human made #DnD and #Pathfinder2E content. You repost if you enjoy it. Do we have a deal?

this is your sign to order a frame for that art you bought two years ago

I thought we did that yesterday!? What do you mean I have to do it again? 😩

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

Tempted to buy tickets to @opensaucelive.bsky.social for my birthday..

What I’m trying to say is, show me more #makersky less #techsky.

Been watching all the Best Tech of ‘24 videos. There’s a stark difference between @theverge.com and #Testedcom. Every product V recommends has a caveat or drawback, like they made a list of sponsored items and added disclaimers. T shows stuff they found value in and they are genuinely excited for.

Should I work on my mental health or should I start playing sims again?

Period

And oil painting of a Menger sponge in blue, yellow, and red, over a cool grey/green/blue background; lines cut randomly across the painting, and where they do the hue and saturation and value of the colors in that area shift sharply, maintaining an overall color scheme that nonetheless feels very fractured and unstable.

An oil painting of six iterations of a Hilbert curve superimposed over one another, rendered in increasingly squiggly lines of blue, yellow and red, with the paint of each layer smearing into that of the previous layers and creating transient sections of smeared gradient between the red, blue, and yellow colors as the paint combines and drags across the canvas.

An oil painting of a Menger sponge in white, blue, and orange, with very vibrant colors at the foremost edge of the cube-like structure, fading tile by tile into toward a common light grey hue and value in the background as if disappearing into the fog; the visible interior in the lower left is almost indistinguishable from one colored face to the next.

An oil painting of a Sierpinski carpet rendered in dappled one-inch squares of blues in the foreground and yellows in the background, creating a subtle implication of the core shape while feeling overall very noisy and without contrast, like pastel tiling seen in the bottom of a pool from the surface, or like a color blindness test plate.

Unfucked some web stuff today, so my art site is back online. Here's a few of my favorite large fractal oil paintings:

I love old cities and old cars. Especially when it's night, there are two moons and a lot of stars. Especially when I invented this city myself.

Landscape oil painting of river and mountains in the distance

Time to hang more on Bluesky! I’m Amy, a landscape painter based in Iceland. I love this wild environment so expect to see a LOT of art like this + posts about my plein air adventures! This is one of my oil paintings from last year, Vífilsfell over the river.

Summer Reading by Jim Holland, oil on canvas 2006. The enduring themes in Holland's paintings are the light and space near the ocean; an expansive and peaceful place. He was born in 1955 in Schenectady, NY.

Oil painting of a blue sky behind a line of trees and a field thick with orange and yellow flowers. A single tree draped with moss stands in the center.

Oil painting of a path leading through a field of yellow and orange flowers. Trees at the top of the hill and distant trees behind the field of flowers.

Two 8x6” oil paintings of the African daisy superbloom I painted this summer!
Took a while to paint allllll the individual flowers!
