I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Sir I’m just a bell boy
Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors
the shooting will continue until morale improves
A sign has been made saying “IT WAS” and hundreds of people are standing in the form the word “MURDER” There is an upside down distress US flag followed by the words, ICE OUT
“IT WAS MURDER”

this guy launched a coup from his country club but you’re not allowed to work from home
we’ve been over this
we just did this in Massachusetts
they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving
It’s pretty well produced too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ahhh understandable. Yeah created by one of the guys from Letterkenny if you know that Canadian show
It’s written and directed by a gay man! And the cast has not revealed their sexualities nor should they have to. For what it’s worth, it’s also way more about longing, yearning, and romance than sex even though the first two episodes are smut-heavy.
You all have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Stop thinking about and talking about the guy who for a decade now has forced himself into the news cycle seventy times a day, wants to rename everything in his own name, and is trying to put his own face on money. Why can’t you just leave him alone.
Is this about heated rivalry?
If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

This is unhinged behavior
ChatGPT has been telling me not to trust that motherfucker Gemini, and Claude informs me that Grok really likes the taste of Nazi boots
I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.
End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.
And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.
Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever.
They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.
Reality editors/producers/directors: You don’t ever need to end an episode with “to be continued.” That’s how the show works. If it didn’t continued that would be the last episode of the season.
I’m always saying this
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
