My favorite things in talks of late (as I did today) is in the midst of talking on my process, to pause on this image briefly & emphasize the importance of drawing badly, making mistakes, and struggle to come upon discoveries and have experiences that make you you spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

It’s a stain on American journalism that major media refuse to warn the public that the president is out of his mind.
Trump: "So I'm studying him. And I made the mistake of saying that I started off by studying his ass. I just wantasink. And then I looked at his feet & they were massive. I made the mistake of studying his anatomy. Maybe I should do that with Ken Paxton, but I'm not sure your body is gonna qualify."

If no one is willing to defend the Constitution, we don’t have a Constitution.
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...
Sure, a very nice calm couple of weeks coming up
Ten days that could shake the world: democratic norms at stake in four pivotal elections Brazil, Israel, Serbia and the US are holding elections within the space of 10 days. Will the authoritarian right cement its global gains, or can pro-democracy forces make a comeback? ...

Wow. This is a fantastic ad.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

You mean to say that kissing a psychopathic dictator's ass didn't magically make him want to stop killing people? I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

The least realistic thing about this dialogue is that it's only 217 cookies. Also, should be using the cloyingly annoying word "partners"

Wildly out of touch. Voters want to see their candidates confident and willing to fight, not meekly taking the bait and retreating to whatever won’t offend a moderate Republican
‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

I should learn not to be surprised or infuriated by this man, but everything he says - especially here - is so perverse and wrong. I know it's DARVO, I know it is, but still the inversion of reality just hits me so hard
Trump: "Zelenskyy is not helping matters much. I think he doesn't want to stop the war." FACT CHECK: Ukraine and Zelenskyy personally agreed to an unconditional ceasefire proposed by Trump in March 2025. Russia did not.

Fine. Illegal aggression. Fine. War crimes. Fine. Kidnapping children fine. Destroying infrastructure. Fine. Threatening the security of all of Europe. Fine. All of it is fine. As usual with Trump, the criminals are protected, even advocated for. It's the victims who are condemned and abandoned.
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."

Article III, Section 3. "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

It's a pattern: when progress is made (liberating Ukraine, organizing against fascism in the US, etc) the tech overlords pull the rug, pull the plug. The house wins. Question is: what will we do when they steal the election? Shut off cell service entirely? It's happened before. So what next?

I just created an amazing fractal web app and uploaded it. Try it out right now, on your phone! You can explore the Mandelbrot Set, you can make Julia Sets. You can see the orbits of the points that create the fractals. It’s so fun and beautiful and amazing!!! fractalfoundation.org/frapplets/ma...

"The amount of fuel Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight, the narrative too late to shape electoral outcomes: This looks, instead, like something very different: an abrupt, Hail Mary attempt to force Ukraine to surrender" www.theatlantic.com/idea/2026/10...

Ukraine has repeatedly offered cease fires and Russia has always refused
Hours after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, a Russian attack in Ukraine, on Saturday killed at least 20 people. The Kremlin said there would be no immediate resumption of discussions to end the war. Trump said Ukraine should “get a new president.” trib.al/6soAOJj
