Artist. Absurd creature.

Interested in art, science, culture, ideas, history, pre-history, sci-fi, and understanding things. Friend of animals, enemy of fascists. I typically favorite instead of boosting pet posts, otherwise it would be 60% cats.

@RickiTarr No, but a decent education system and good parenting should produce people eager to vote.

@JoshuaHolland I guess McHenry can’t be trusted to do the wrong thing.

I’ve always thought it was ridiculous that we need food coloring to trick ourselves into eating something we’d otherwise find unappealing.

@WarnerCrocker @davidtoddmccarty I dislike McCarthy a lot too, but as a man who has jumped from a few frying pans into fires, I feel like dems could have extracted something useful from him in exchange for saving him. The pool of potential nominees is a sewer. If not the turd, a turd for sure.

Anyone who previously defended Feinstein’s plan to serve out the rest of her term should not be deterred by this latest development.

Paintings by Japanese artist Tetsuya Ishida, 1990s-2000s, whose detailed, surreal work often reflected the anxieties and insecurities of Japan's "Lost Generation" of men who came into adulthood during the economic crisis of the 90s. The artist passed away suddenly at age 31 after a train accident.

I rewatched Elysium (2013) last night. It’s full of good actors. The subtext is wealth disparity and the dehumanization of the impoverished. It’s overlaid with lots of violence and weighed down a bit with tedious expository flashbacks. There are also distracting weird twin accents from Jody Foster and William Fichtner. Unburdened by the high expectations I had the first time, I liked it more.
