"Don't need to be an expert"

This is just to have another step remove from any responsibility.

Leave my A10's out of this. Brrrrt! They are from a cleaner, more rational time, based on the actual enemy.

UAE fund RSF in Sudan. They are not neutral. They are not innocent. They have been found out. The US is not your friend.

It was a precision strike and we take great care to ensure no other body parts were affected.

This is like, a 22 post spam in my "following" feed of which maybe one or two are relevant.

I do want you to post here and not on the dead parrot, but this kind of spamming will just get you muted.

Do and think better.

Good for you Sarah. I can't relate to your trauma but I can absolutely relate to your need to hike!

Is that the same UAE that arms and supports the RSF as they commit genocide in Sudan?

I'm sure the Republicans can get the trains to run on time as well. Their is no Republican party. It's the Trump party. The party of nihilism.

I'm watching art youtube again. And you know what that means. I'M PISSED OFF.

Full disclosure I've worked in a museum, been apprenticed to a restorer, done some restoration work, specialized in college in medieval materials.

I'm one of those longevity painters.

Not everyone is.

This is really interesting in that I knew absolutely nothing about this and will get a really nice pencil later this week.

I vaguely know about pencils being graded like HB etc. If you want your pencil graffiti to last, what's the best version to use?

Genuine question. Because I like education.

It really is something. I feel like I can hear the urgent vitality and flexibility of his voice as I never had.

A submarine failing to rescue sailors is not a war crime. Holding Trump and his minions to account for their actual war crimes is critical. But, it needs to be objective. Being wrong and subjective lessens that argument. Be better.

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

The Wetland Project, which I just posted about, is something very near and dear to my heart. I’d deeply appreciate you reskeeting that post. Thank you.

Hello @reuters.com stop being compliant in lying on their behalf. If you don't want to do journalism then just revoke that from you M.O.

The markets have always been delusional, look at the Tesla evaluation for example. They are always right until they are wrong, but when they're wrong the taxpayer will bail them out. They can't lose. They are the house. We are all just bad blackjack players.
