This is a “commercial” for Fannie Mae featuring an AI generated voice of the current president and someone filling out a mortgage application by hand (which also looks to be coil bound which feels useless) on CNN

The government using children as *bait* to lure and snatch their parents. And I’m supposed to work today?

Stenvik described the scene where ICE agents took Liam from his driveway, as another adult living in the home “begged” agents to let him care for Liam and was refused.

“Instead, the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door, and directed him to knock on the door, asking to be let in, in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait,” she said.

scene from the TV show The Office where Michael Scott, the aloof manager, is awarded a fake gold medal as part of the made up Flunkerton Games. Jim, Michael and Dwight stand next to each other holding their hands over their hearts, presumably during the playing of the national anthem.

Today is Bandcamp Friday. 100% of sales go to the artists. My new album is available for pre-order on digital and vinyl (and a bundle) and is VERY Kentucky, with liner notes by Jessica K. Whitehead, album design by Sarah Flood-Baumann, and the whole thing was recorded by the legendary Dave Chale.

Cover art for my album called Piano Trio No. 2/winterloops. The artwork is by Harlan Hubbard and is of the Ohio River in shades of brown and blue gray
