People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

That takes a constitutional amendment.
Packing the court doesn’t.
And I’m not sure about the wisdom of term-limiting legislators.

“If you’re going to protest, you should be down on the floor where the action is, so I got you a Delegate’s pass.”
I was just a little boy, could only watch it on TV, but the lesson I learned was that it’s wise to defer to youth.

I take after my parents in that regard. They cut us a lot of slack. I’m South Side Irish, but when the convention came here in ‘68, my eldest sister was in the park fighting cops. When my more conventional eldest brother asked for a gallery pass to protest inside, the response he got was:

I’m no elected official, but as I age I grow more humble, defer to the wisdom of youth, and check my reflex to take control. It’s their future, so they get to determine it.

Their agreement not to filibuster certain nominations is informal, could be pitched on a whim if they so choose, and has been limited on judicial nominations.

It’s why it’s referred to as the law of international armed conflict.
But for most practical purposes, it’s a distinction without a difference, just lawyers being fussy.

Legalistic nonsense. A formal declaration of war has a lot of automatic consequences, so the US government only rarely makes a formal declaration of war when it engages in armed conflict.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

They always give fellow Senators a pass.

You mean they choose not to use the filibuster for nominations.

I’ve hated on corporate social media aggregators since Friendster. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry Reuters you’ve already been scooped by No Shit Magazine

I was gonna use a Baudrillard quote for this rt, but realized “No, use poetry.”

I don’t know if Yeats knew that those pure white statues were originally painted in garish colors. I ❤️ garish colors 🤷‍♂️

He’ll leave it to Durbin, his Whip, to cobble together enough Democratic votes for cloture on Mullin’s nomination. And then they all get to say they voted against him.

They weren’t going to impeach her anyway. The people in the streets brought her down, at terrible cost to themselves. Take a bow, folks, and then get back to work; we have our work cut out for us.

“No Hamlet thin from eating flies, a fat
Dreamer of the Middle Ages. Empty eyeballs knew
That knowledge increases unreality, that
Mirror on mirror mirrored is all the show.”

An early 20th-century cat propaganda poster. A grey cat in worker garb stands in the foreground pointing at a large, empty bowl. In the background is a factory city whose workers are pouring into the streets. The cat asks the viewer through the top text of the poster "The owners have taken our labour, our life. And in return?" It is answered in bold text in the middle of the poster with "Empty Bowls!"

An acrylic painting inspired by Starry Night. It is a side view cat portrait of a tabby looking at the moon. In the background are various cattree shaped buildings. The starry sky is painted in moving, swirling strokes.

Hello. Tonight, I'll show one newish poster work and one older traditional painted portrait. Enjoy! If you like what you see please follow me here for more and visit my print shop at nathannunart.etsy.com - Thanks for taking a look.

They’re not praying. It’s a fascist petting zoo.

Says the Democratic Governor who did Noem’s dirty work for her.

When your brother is the biggest crush in Hollywood, every media shill lines up to suck your dick.

Be a good boy, like Tom Foley and Walter Mondale — accept your electoral irrelevance, and fade into dignified obscurity.

When Biden won in 2020, it was hilarious to watch the media tout him for Transportation, then Commerce. In the end he had to settle for the booby prize, exile in Japan, a time-honored sinecure for washed-up Democratic pols.
He didn’t get the message. Everyone else did.

So Rupert Murdoch wants Democrats to vote for Rahm you say?
You’d have to be a fool to take that bait.

This man is ballot box poison, a relic of a bygone era. But the media props him up to curry favor with his brother.

It’s significant that there is now a palm reader in the Loop again. It’s been a long time since they could afford the rent.

But we survived a much more calamitous White Flight in the 70s. We’ll survive this. And we’ll lose a lot of gentrifying jerks to the burbs. Good.
