Damn. Not only is that sign a profound satirical comment, but there's a nonzero chance it might be literally true.

If you are able and your state laws allow, PLEASE vote in person and early. It helps level out the workload for poll workers like me (I am an Election Day Tech for our county BoE). It allows time to correct problems with your ID so your vote counts. Help put the deplorables back in their basket!

@bethesdaunion.bsky.social The latest layoffs are yet another demonstration of how corporate acquisitions and mergers are rarely good for customers, employees, or the economy -- only investors. There are *no* exclusives that would lure me to buy an XBox from the Microsoft overlords who did this.

So, I hear there are some hydrology problems in Washington DC. Rumor has it the brilliant leader on mission to "drain the swamp" has somehow managed to *create* a swamp instead. The goal was figurative, the failure literal. He has pegged the needle on the incompetence meter.

As I type this, I'm playing D&D with friends. I'm not saying my luck has been poor, but a litle while ago one of my friends rolled her attack. My comment was, "Wait -- Are you saying a d20 has two-digit numbers, too?!" Draw your own conclusions.

U.S. citizens: Our best hope of stopping the dystopian catastrophe of MAGA is to *vote*. Protesting matters. Speaking out matters. Community organizing matters. Voting MAGA out of local, state, and federal elected offices *matters most of all*. Check your registration status. Vote early, in person.

Great new political satire from the Marsh Family, the same UK family who brought us "One Day More" lamenting their lockdown isolation during the early days of COVID. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gwB...

I have a question for someone well educated in design theory. When I look at Trump's taste in decor, I see a tawdry attempt at grandeur, pathetically missing any true elegance. Some people see the same decor projecting power, prestige, and wealth. What accounts for such strong preferences?

The new #GeometryNodes features in Blender 5.0 and 5.1 (@blender3d.bsky.social) are awesome! I've got a working prototype (which I'll share soon) of procedural motion graphics I couldn't do in 4.x that were easy in Blender 5. Great job on documentation, too, so often overlooked in other software. 👍

This is what it looks like when government agencies set aside turf lines and act together in the public's interest. Well done.

I wrote both of my U.S. Senators and my U.S. Representative demanding Congress act to stop Trump's war crimes and threatened genocide before it's too late. My Representative is already on our side, so the wording there was supportive rather than confrontational. Protest. Speak. Vote. #NotInOurName

Watching live the POTUS radio call with the Artemis II crew. Trump babbles on and on, barely giving anyone else a chance to speak, then just lets the conversation dangle for so long that three of the four astronauts were *literally* twiddling their thumbs waiting. What a buffoon.

Zelenskyy is every good thing our chief executive is not: courageous, patriotic, compassionate, and ethical.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

According to #StephenColbert, the Trump administration is trying to scrub this photo because it is "unflattering" to the Press Secretary. I'm posting this public service announcement to help spread the word that this photo should be deleted immediately. "Refs unpersons doubleplusungood."

No authoritarian state imagery to see here. Move along. 🤣

I've finished editing a short (3 minutes) video from the #NoKings rally in Canton, Ohio (USA) on March 28. CW: May contain occasional profanity on the protest signs. CW: Loud car horns. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0aj...

Today's GOP

Also at today's #NoKings rally, this woman's sign reads, "Somewhere in America, a young girl is in an attic writing about ICE." They have the thugs. We have the literate.

I'm editing my video from today's #NoKings and spotted this member of clergy and her awesome sign.

That's one awesome render.

Five-time draft dodger says what now?

Here's another photo of the year candidate from Getty contributor Megan Varner:

And I'm just about to fire up Blender 5.1 for the first time, having installed the upgrade last night.

I love the analogy: "The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones." We can -- must! -- move to renewable energy with or without favorable government policy. Vote with your wallet, and the corporations will follow the money, not the party line.

This sort of work is exactly why Freya's YouTube channel was one of the first URLs I shared with a brilliant student I met recently, as a mentor at a university Game Jam. She taught herself C++ in middle school and is now (age 17) creating custom shaders in HLSL-like languages. Kindred spirits!

I'm personally against the Iran war, but I *assume* military recruitment centers are overwhelmed with MAGA volunteers enlisting to support their Dear Leader. Right?

If the U.S. wants to be regarded as a leader in the free world, we need to understand the difference between "leader" and "boss". Also, it would help if we don't literally threaten to attack and conquer our closest allies.

Will I see you at a #NoKings rally? ☮️ We MUST #resist fascism as he destroys our government.

What @cwebbonline.com says. Voting against slavery should be unanimous.

#ProtestSignSuggestions Here's one that goes directly at the MAGA talking point: TRUMP IS NOT A KING ... YET

I’m reusing my sign from the last two #NoKings protests.

This is mine:
