Yay! Bluesky now seems to work in landscape mode on the Android app!

Very, very funny headlines in this thread... 🤣🤣🤣

These ArtCraft tools are already very impressive. In some ways, they are already better than GIMP and LibreOffice, at least for the ways I use them. Fast startup, familiar workflows, many key features working properly. Kind of scary, but also, if you are on Linux, incredible!

I remember seeing this painting for the 1st time at the Matisse/Picasso show at MoMA in the early aughts and then painted a study (from a tiny thumbnail image on my pre-smartphone era phone camera). I later also made an abstract loosely inspired by this composition. #artist #abstraction

About the only thing it's good for is to let Grok say things like this:

There appears to be no way to get off his mailing list. Not clicking 'unsubscribe'; not replying STOP; not sending separate emails. WTF?

This is a great thread, though I think he barely scratches the surface on all the crap that's wrong right now...

Flipping back & forth between two #MLB playoff games & the difference in audio production is jarring. On TBS, I set volume to 22 on my TV & get nice, even volume w/ balanced mix of stadium sounds. On Fox, I have to dial volume back to 11 & still too loud/uneven, w/ way too much noise, it's grating!

The next Democratic president should issue an executive order renaming the word "shitshow" to "EricSchmittshow"

💯 → "Fellow journalists: We need fewer 'think pieces' and more 'this man cannot think' articles."

I think this is all of us these days.

I just switched my electric service to Time Of Use rates, so I can charge my EV from nearly empty to nearly full overnight for about $8. Such a shame (travesty!) Trump has done so much to hinder growth of EV market in the U.S.

Hahahaha! I'm still not going to root for the Steelers again until Rodgers is gone, but even he realizes what a bag of shit he's been peddled (& been a part of peddling).

Final weekend of my 2-person exhibition ("Cadence") at Artists' Gallery (18 Bridge St, Lambertville, New Jersey), with Larry Mitnick. Gallery is open Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun and Monday (Labor Day, Sep 7, 2026) from 11am-6pm. If you're nearby, stop by to check it out!

The Colour Literacy Project has just put out a PDF, "Advances in Colour Literacy", an "ongoing publication dedicated to documenting & advancing the collective project of understanding colour more fully and teaching it more responsibly." Looks very nice, available on their website! colourliteracy.org

PabloReports: What do you make of Trump saying Americans who oppose data centers are backwards and poor? AOC: I mean, how about we put one in Mar-a-Lago? I love that. Let’s put a data center at Mar-a-Lago, and we’ll see how backwards and poor he is in response to that.

Trump, empowered by SCOTUS, entered office convinced he could do insider trading, sell pardons and favors, take bribes, steal and openly flout the law. Now, with the prospect of investigations looming, he is growing ever more fearful that he miscalculated.

Epic

I'm growing fewer peppers this year—and fewer varieties, too—but still enough to dry and grind into 3½ small jars of mixed hot peppers. Should still be more later this fall. Blend of ghost (Bhut jolokia), diablo rojo, red Fresno, and jalapeño peppers.

Another excellent take from Paul Krugman: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/der-unterg...

Finally got a chance to see my painting, "Coordinated Symmetry" at the 2026 Summer Group Exhibition at Blue Mountain Gallery in NYC. Just two days left to see if you're in the city! (through Saturday, Aug 15). Blue Mountain is at 547 West 27th St 2nd Floor, New York, NY

I know this would be closing the barn door after he horse has been reelected president, but if Democrats win both chambers I'd really like to see a concurrent resolution deeming January 6 an insurrection under 14(3). 1/

This show opens today! If you're in or near Chelsea (NYC), stop by 547 West 27th St 2nd Floor.

It's amazing to me that in an age of GPUs everywhere, we can't have live video processed in a way that allows sporting events in sun & shadow to both be seen properly exposed.

A few photos from the yard...

Happy to announce that my painting, "Coordinated Symmetry," will be in the 2026 Summer Juried Show at Blue Mountain Gallery in NYC, Jul 28-Aug 15! Opening reception Thu, July 30, 6-8pm. (Unfortunately, due to a prior commitment, I probably cannot attend the opening 😞.) 547 W 27th Street 2nd Floor

It's amazing to me that in an age of GPUs everywhere, we can't have live video processed in a way that allows sporting events in sun & shadow to both be seen properly exposed.

This person is talking about FIFA and USMNT but it feels like it could also apply to this past term at SCOTUS.

Challenge yourself and find where Waldo is celebrating Freedom 250.

I hope Alan Parsons is getting a handsome payday for the usage of Sirius at the World Cup games...

Finally finished @philipcball.bsky.social's wonderful "How Life Works"! When I hit the part on the 2nd Law felt compelled to share my comic on Entropy from a few years back, bits of which I'm expanding on in the new work (& one reason I read this brilliant book!) spinweaveandcut.com/sketching-en...

SO MUCH THIS!

Democrats need to start demanding that Trump visit the border so he can see first-hand what's going on.

I LOVE the rice cooker! It’s the best example of simple physics : it’s literally a pot, a heating element and a magnet. That’s it. No electronics. No sensors. Nothing. How does it work??? Physics ! 🧵

Hot Take: 97°F in New Jersey should not be allowed until after June 1. Definitely not before Memorial Day. Never, really, but if you have to, a few days in Late July would be okay.

At Artists' Gallery this month, I have my only painting related to soccer: "Dynamism", acrylic on canvas, 30"x40", from 2012. It was inspired by Boccioni's "Dynamism of a Soccer Player" (1913) at MoMA in NYC. Gallery hours are Thu-Sun 11a-6p; 18 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ.

What's on second!

There are so many candidates for the stupidest thing Trump has done to the country that it's hard to pick, but destroying the domestic EV industry has got to be one of the top choices.
