Someday, the fact that this thing is a thing, and can therefore be freely and spectacularly abused, is going to be part of the sales pitch

A blonde woman looks at something off-screen in horror. It is a scene from HBO's Westworld and she is an android who will be repeatedly assaulted and murdered by humans for pleasure over decades

the creedal tribe

A screenshot of text from the shared Defector article about the New York Knicks, ie., an article about New York, an article about the Knicks, an article about both. It reads:

"The beauty of New York City is its melting pot, and the vibes at Radio City were a perfect example of it. Knicks fans of every race, gender, ethnicity, and religion got together to collectively lose their minds about their team's return to the Finals for the first time since 1999, looking for their first championship since 1973. There were old men accompanied by their adult children and young grandkids. Fans in hijabs. Fans in yarmulkes. Bros in OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson jerseys looking like feral dogs ready to roam the streets. Brunson and Anunoby jerseys were the most popular, in fact. I saw one Josh Hart jersey, some Jeremy Lin jerseys, a Latrell Sprewell and a Patrick Ewing jersey that were both absolute grails. Also, a Jordan Clarkson jersey. A city of true diversity!"

sorry, it was meant to be me as a proctologist

Image depicts "The Creation of the Sun and the Moon," from the Sistine Chapel. God appears twice making things: On the left, is flying away from us, His naked buttocks visible through a gap in His pink robes. He is depicted more traditonally on the right, with a flowing white beard and surrounded by cherubs. He is pointing powerfully with his finger, as something that is not his own butt.

Ignatius of Antioch was weak on lions

A painting of a bearded man being eaten by a lion and and what may be a hyena. He has one flung arm back as if opening himself up to the attack and his other hand rests on his heart. He is still standing, the attack seems to have just started, and his eyes are still open and looking up towards the heavens

"Mourn Black Murder," a 1982 piece about the Atlanta Child Murders made by Leah Jaynes Karp, an African American mixed media artist and mother of Alex Karp. "The overall effect of the work is a poignant commemoration of the tragedy of many young lives senselessly lost." high.org/collection/m...

Leah Jaynes Karp created this mixed-media series in response to the Atlanta Child Murders. Between 1979 and 1981, at least twenty-nine Black children, teens, and young adults—mostly boys—were kidnapped and murdered; a suspect was identified and apprehended in 1981. In Karp’s hauntingly delicate works, she pulls phrases and words from news articles covering the events and interweaves them with cutout photographs of lilies. The overall effect of the work is a poignant commemoration of the tragedy of many young lives senselessly lost.

This is the second or third time he's run the "it's a lot more fun to kill" line, and it seems to do consistently well with his dead-enders. Not quite the line of smiling ghouls in a lynching postcard--the victims are offsite and offscreen--but getting there

A children's bible illustration of the story of the golden calf from Exodus 32:

32 When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered around Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make gods for us, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” 2 Aaron said to them, “Take off the gold rings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off the gold rings from their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took the gold from them, formed it in a mold,[a] and cast an image of a calf; and they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a festival to the Lord.” 6 They rose early the next day, and offered burnt offerings and brought sacrifices of well-being; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.

7 The Lord said to Moses, “Go down at once! Your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have acted perversely; 8 they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I commanded them; they have cast for themselves an image of a calf, and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’” 9

As I read this, for the next four years ICE's yearly budgets are already coming in at 3X FY'24's funding thanks to the one big bullshit bill. They shouldn't get a dime more through regular appropriations, and any Dem who votes for that dime should be primaried www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Screengeab of Brennan Center article:

The biggest piece of the pie for enforcement operations in the United States will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest, detain, and deport immigrants. Congress gave ICE $75 billion over four years, approximately $18.7 billion each year. Added to the $10 billion Congress already appropriated ICE for fiscal year 2025 in March, ICE now has $28.7 billion at its disposal this year. That $28.7 billion figure is nearly triple ICE’s entire budget for FY24.

I repeat this line from William Morris (from 1887, hence the language) once a day as I try to make sense of our moment, twice a day on work days with my team as we work on our little apps, websites, and other products marxists.org/archive/morr...

A line from William Morris' 1887 A Dream of John Ball:

But while I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name
