Yeah but don’t ignore the fact that R’s purposely set the stage for event to take place. This is what they want & have wanted since the 1990’s. And the establishment/legacy/old school D’s let it happen & the only to say sh was Sanders.
Though this is accurate to what I’ve seen with others &(6,7,8 for myself) my most common experience is: You need to learn anatomy Why don’t you draw like an American Thumbs don’t do that (I am double jointed) You need to work on your lighting
A teacher explained it this way to me, you don’t expect a motor to do anything else, but be a motor. However when it comes to supporters of authoritarianism they always think there’s something that makes their guy different. The motor just operates as the motor is supposed to.
A number of protests against President Donald Trump are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.
And don’t forget the dime & penny press. Those criticisms would never have been viewed by so many had it not been for the mass media of that day.
Recovery is different for each individual. Patients and loved ones are keys. They have to see your hope so they can have their own. Best wishes.

I stand with @pbs.org and their efforts to carry on the legacy of the CPB. "For $5/month or $60/yr you get access to PBS Passport and the entire Masterpiece library plus Great Performances, etc. Defunded but not defeated." www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

Which is why we need to replace every single politician in power who comes from political & wealth backgrounds.
Wasn’t there a sci-fi book about machine take over written in the 1930/40’s? It might be a good look in how to democratize the digital machines.
Doesn't Trump understand that the United States was founded by people rebelling against a asshole King like himself (Trump)? Make America Great Again by resisting this King-Wanna-Be! bsky.app/profile/benu...
13) Protections of undue interference from corporations or private ownership of the functioning of News organizations. 14) Forced regular review on the MPAA on their rating system. The system is being used to censor media not based on age but based on individual biases and not actual standards.
Art work, profit, credit, & creative voice are being stolen from creators for sake of corporate profit. The people that made the art (whether it’s television series, illustration, direction, voice, etc.) are having to struggle while companies are having taking the vast gains of their work.
appeal, that prohibits not just discussion of, but also representative storytelling for the sake of the Normative Whole, but also forces a false “Normative” that is not decided by the culture but instead for a corporate board of directors. 12) Creatives protection.
11) Break up the 5 mass media corporations that hold 80% of market share. These organizations can viably be tracked to stifling parts of their own businesses due to lack of what they deem sufficient profit. This is literally prohibiting a diverse storytelling base for the sake of more generic mass
for all. The public should not be restricted from access to information based on their ability to pay especially when it could be information that can & does affect life & property. 10) Protection of cultural identifiers & staples that serve the public trust
7) Release restrictions on over the air broadcast. If they can not compete on equal footing as cable or streaming, what’s the point. 8) Protections against corporate & Governmental Censorship 9) Force a free tier, reduced add tier, & add free tier to streaming. Information should be available
3) Strength protections of employees of news organizations 4) Protect news organizations 5) Restore the Fairness Doctrine. 6) Make certain that there is a clear definition in legal terms between New & Entertainment. And that no organization may present as News without being News
Reforms needed to broadcast & media: 1) Git rid of private equity’s ability to transfer debt on other businesses, especially news organizations. This practice has been used to get rid many businesses & news organizations. 2) Prohibit slap lawsuits.
I would advise against the electric ones They’re scams according to my doctor.
Well you know they are more interested in doing animation, merchandise, & anything else other than making a great video game. But really how good could any Pokémon game be without Jessie & James?
I’m going to hate the Superman uniform for this movie always. It looks out of place & like a military uniform. Beyond that it’s a good Superman movie. Not great, but good. The acting is good, story decent, the effects are nice. It really feels more of a silver age comic story.
I foresee a lot of stability issues. Remember it’s not right to block customers from apple orchard fences just because you don’t like them. Nor is it cool to buy all the fence post making factories, wire factories, & sabotaging other’s paints is right out.
Just because this is beautiful.
See you on the other side. 😢 youtu.be/Qv5yc3F7yNo?...
Apologies if this jokingly around lands flat. My mind is on chores, which are neither bad or good. I did not want trudge along naked into cheeriness, when I seem to be stripped of humor. Mayhap I need to take a turn on the pony & free myself of the splinters of the road of witlessness.
Nope sorry none of that bright happy & cheerful stuff here. What do you think this is 80’s street fashion, medieval pomp & circumstance? Nope. This is good ole Dickensian dystopia. Take your porridge & be happy with a single bowl, you miserable orphan. 😜
it would be nice. Sometimes even translation notes would be nice. Then there’s aspects of brush vs. pen, tone vs. line in visibility. Let’s not even get into pica, spacing, font style. Unless you’re talking about brain stuff. We that’s a different subject & track for thoughts to switch on to.
I don’t know. I think there’s a lot to be said about the style of the kanji used, as well as how the artists place it. How it would be nice for manga to include pronunciation charts or translation tables for some of the sound effects. I know most manga fans have learned a lot of it, but
How is that not a conversation? You need to talk with your brain. It might be feeling lonely. It’s the only organ in the skull after all. It’s doesn’t get to hang out with the heart and lungs. Or settle in like the stomach & guts. It just floats around & observes.
In a land where money is political speech, there is no financial decision that isn’t political.
I agree with @steveshives.bsky.social on this.
How about more education in how to register to run in elections? & How to get more working class in office? Recruit from people who are in the trenches! We want to fight for ourselves & others. We want a veto proof congress & house to avoid the next ten years of misery. We need change!
How about showing people what the economy for dictatorship looks like in other nations? As I understand it, it’s a short boon followed by years of disaster.
No POTUS has ever relinquished the power granted to them by congress, nor has congress ever taken back any that it has granted. BTW there has always been a section of this country that has always wanted a King. It’s just now that section has gotten what they wanted. And we must suffer it.
The POTUS was mostly a figurehead there in case of war. It is the succession of powers that did this. Because this is what modern conservatives have wanted. Executive orders used to request to congress, not dictates. The heads of congress, senate, & the pres were supposed to be a tribunal leadership
up the process because they did not want slow & deliberate debate. If you go back and actually look at the powers that congress has succeeded to the president you will see most of it has been done by conservatives for this purpose. Go back & actually look at the record & not just a cursory look.
The ability to attack ( but not declare war) was ambiguous but in the hands of congress. It was a power that was succeeded to the president. As were a lot of other powers over the past 100 years, because conservatives thought it should be in the power of one person, because they wanted to speed
Usually that means you’re putting a lot of stress on yourself. Things that might help: Step away & exercise Step away for an hour for fun stuff Make your area more fun Concentrate on one small area at a time don’t get caught up in the whole image Do X for an hour then step away Laugh at something
How about helping by letting people know how to run for office? We need more working class people in office.
We have to get the working class into office these midterms! This is our best chance to hold off a decade of greater suffering in the future. Workers are the only people that can protect this country. For ourselves, community, & the future.
We have until the midterms to get enough people who can & will make a veto proof legislative body to stop the misery that will happen. We can & must focus on getting enough working class people educated on the process of registering, running, & winning to protect our most vulnerable.
It could also be about who’s on the BOD? It could be because they’re trying to avoid more fights with certain organizations? Maybe there’s more?
The sad thing was there was a war on poverty. SNAP was a part of that war, but why should the rich fight it, when they can make more from it. And as for religious organizations in the US, a lot do good, but there also many for whom it’s just about profit. People like Marjoe Gortner used to expose.
Yeah maybe that’s why the WB execs didn’t know what to do with him?
Because sometimes the algorithm or even the creator make it hard to determine who or what to watch. I try to stick with live people, but I’ve gotten AI, jerks, & haters. It’s getting harder. Then there’s the algorithms not playing nice with people you’re being introduced to or find genuine.

Proof that capitalism has no morals, no empathy, no patience, just greed, if it’s “Nothing personal, just business.” Capitalism is a system, like any other system, that is subject to human failings. Regulations was & is but one way to control greed.
It’s because they want the a-hole to do all the nasty things they wouldn’t dare speak aloud. They can’t be blamed or lose their seat if it’s not their fault. I’ve seen female conservatives do this when their husbands are cruel, condescending, & bigoted, so they don’t have to be responsible.
You’re not sending thousands, you’re sending hundreds. He takes them, tags them, gives them shots, updates their health info, & sends them back into the wild. Why else do you think you keep catching so many crappy ones?
I’ve heard from many police officers in the past say, “If there was ever a guy that went around in a mask, acting like a cop, he ain’t no cop.” I’ve heard them say, “If I knew anyone like that, the whole department would give them a blanket party till they quit.” Cops show their face for trust.
People are doing nothing but surviving right now. Let him know people can only be in survival mode for so long before they become desperate. And too many of us are already desperate.
These are corporate Ds & they’ve been the reason for people deserting. They do nothing. They have done nothing for 30 years. We need to raise people up, not keep them in limbo or under water. Get working people in office.
Always loved the art of the 70s & 80s DC. I love pre-Crisis Huntress. Talk about an underutilized character.
Then Ds need to start working on getting working class people at the forefront. Raise our middle class to 82%. Universal Healthcare. Homeless protections & facilities. Start investing in education. More rural hospitals. Job training for new jobs. Discrimination protection for the poor.
Not to mention it’s a way to boost the economy, that he wrecked.
Please share far and wide! A reminder, tomorrow is the day! Character(s) claims start at 9am CST! Please message me with your claim and size you want. I won’t be invoicing for payment until 8/1! Good luck!
Then those writers aren’t Ds. And the fight of the D party should be the working class taking it over & ignoring the do nothings in office. @sanders.senate.gov needs to be in charge of the DNC & bring in people who actually want to make the DNC more relevant than it has been since before FDR.
Ds must concentrate on growing the middle class. We need a new deal the size and scope of FDR if not bigger & better.

I don’t know. It depends on whether they want to analyze data or manipulate it. Or just flat out cherry pick the resources for their own results. Because, you know,it’s a machine.
I’m in Chattanooga. Is there anyone here heading to the protests here I can join up with?
Sounds like people who have never been in a library or actually had to do research. Maybe that’s why BlueSky is a butterfly so that people can come out of their shells & explore.
I remember the that being sometime around the beginning of DS9. I think it was part of cast and crew interview about what DS9 was supposed to be about. Honestly a lot of interviews at the time were supposed to be building hype for the shows from morning shows to ET shows.
It depends on the type of injury. Muscle pulls & cramps come up more often when we are over 30 as well as joint inflammation, repetitive stress injuries, & dislocation. The human body is meant for high levels of activity that includes large range of motion activities.
I think he’s done 3 performances where he actually got into a character & stepped out of himself or the same type of character he usually portrays: Risky Business, Born on the 4th of July, & Interview with a Vampire.
I can see your point there, but I’m talking more about how sexuality has become such a taboo subject in modern film industry. Chasing Amy didn’t have a sex scene, but sex was very important to the story. I’m saying this trend is a symptom of the problem of highly conservative values in major media.
superheroes so they can get the rewards & accolades that come with being a hero. But in becoming heroes they begin to question their past, actions, & motivations. They learn they were wrong & reform. It had nothing to do with the fact they were “failed” heroes, but instead true villains.
The films are not themselves oppressive, but very reflective of the oppression in the society & the industry. It’s not much different watching a film from the Hayes Code era. Hell Thunderbolts* is a great example of this. The source material is a bunch of villains decide to con people by becoming
Yes, but it very reflective of American culture that an American spy franchise does completely ignore sex. And one that is lead by someone who has been considered a sex symbol for most of their life.
important for us to be able to us accepting our bodies, health, & sexuality. Apologies if I went on too long, but I was raised in two different environments when it came to sex. One where it was welcome & a means of speaking out against oppression & another it was barely spoken of. Open is better.
“appropriate” portrayal of the human body as clothed creating a false perception of human bodies? Not that showing only physically fit bodies helps, but that is better than nothing. Men should be shown just as much nude, portrayed nude, & varied as women. Showing the differences of the body is
of sex, & helps push out discussions & portrayals of sex in positive & diverse narratives. Because if you can’t talk about heteronormative sexuality, you can’t talk about same sex or even more complex sexual relations, relationships, & identities. Without sex in film we are forced to see the only
Help me understand something, please. When you say sexless, how is that good? Sex in film is necessary. Not only does it reflect the human condition, but not having it also allows it to be suppressed, make it harder to discuss as a society, stigmatizes sex, also completely disavows the complexity of
True Frewer might be too old, but there’s a lot in Alexander’s performance that really reminds me of Frewer. The way he words things, his non-reaction reactions. I didn’t know the series was based on books. I’m going to have to check them out.
I’ve seen all that AppleTV+ has put up so far & I’m loving it. But I am trying to get used to Alexander in the lead. It seems more of a role for Matt Frewer though.
I’m glad here is a better experience. I know you only from twitter & here. I know you love cats, you like soccer/football, & that we don’t agree with everything. But I have seen you be a thoughtful, & well researched, writer. But it’s your love for animals that says a lot to me.
Query, do you have videos on the groups/organizations that believe they are trying to force/fulfill prophecies about bringing about a “second coming?” I ask because I have been around people who believe this way & I don’t understand their obsession mass death. Where does it come from & why?
Then how about a conversation about stopping saying, “They vote against their own self interest.” All that does is perpetuate the myth that people need to be ruled over & are not capable of thinking for themselves.
If the Rs really were for the working class they’d support a large proportion of the country being in the middle class. We could actually reduce debt, because more people would be paying a larger share, but they’re too afraid they wouldn’t have any power which is the only their actions say they want
Because IT IS what that party wants. They hide their motives behind misleading messages, very skewed perspectives, & tell us the equivalent of, “It builds character.” Speak plain & call them what they are, “Elites of the Elite.”
A “finishes” commission over loose Carmine Infantino pencils from over 10 years ago, done by me a few months ago. Fun challenge!
Another of the Carmine Infantino pencils layouts I did finishes over. He did these as interpretations of some of his better known covers from the 60s . A challenge to interpret the loose vibe, but fun!
I hope you can be yourself here. It was fun getting to know you on the other one. Here there seems to be more cool people.
I really hate how accurate this statement is, from the satire to the factual.
Wait you mean there’s other stuff out there than anime?
Thank you for your understanding as well. I will try.
one, has really left me questioning a lot. Heck I wouldn’t even have gotten into him of it hadn’t been for another author I love. Apologies for the dump & bringing down your mood.
Good points & good perspective. I hope bringing it up hasn’t been a bad thing? Let’s just say I’ve been through a shitty childhood & have issues with abuse. I’ve seen abuse cycles up close & personal, so I know how hard they can be to break. And finding out one of my fave authors was perpetuating
Do you really think her work outweighs her bias? I’ve read the first book, but it’s hard for me to get further the series when she thought a sexual assault made a person gay & that it’s through anal sex people become gay.
Some of her views on sexuality aren’t exactly informed…
Amazing. Corporations found a way to raise prices & blame the government, all because they have a useful idiot (they call a friend) in charge.
