281·27 days agoUnfortunately the US Department of Justice says they agree because they are (yet again) bending over backwards to protect right wingers from being held accountable for their actions to harm our country
0·1 month agoYeah, I’m not a Texan but I also disagree about this. Also, Austin has produced some amazing music over the years (for example, random Austin band I’ve been in love with recently is Being Dead).
I found a higher resolution one and a bit of an article, although they don’t really explain much
No other cartoonist’s work functions so well as “art” in the so-called “art world.” [Marc] Bell’s giddy drawing energy vaporizes these false distinctions. He developed his chops as a cartoonist making Crumb-influenced strips for weekly newspapers in the ’90s. An important scene of collaborative ’zine-making developed across Canada at this time, in which Bell participated, fostering, collecting, and documenting these works in the crucial anthology Nog A Dod: Prehistoric Canadian Psychedooolia.
In the 2000s, Bell made an important strip called Gustun, which cast Philip Guston as a comic character, in essence claiming him for comics. Alongside a series of weekly Shrimpy and Paul strips he drew for local papers, Bell began to create large collages and ultra-dense drawings. This work (collected in the monograph Hot Potatoe) absorbed the image-fracturing strategies of Ray Yoshida and the Chicago Imagists. Just as the Hairy Who successfully ignored the ’60s New York art scene, Bell’s work contains a world of inside jokes and regional myth building that is inherently critical of what he called the “Bloo Chip” system, prompting the question: Isn’t it the artists who work outside of the dominant dialogue who end up seeming most relevant?
In Bell’s early-2000s work, shown at Adam Baumgold’s idiosyncratic uptown New York gallery, text and image became fused in meditative and overwhelming drawings. They’re something like ornate encrustations of the subconscious. Comparisons to Adam Dant, Paul Noble, and Bruce Conner would not be misplaced. Recently, he has returned to comics with the graphic novel Stroppy, which encompasses in its satirical field not only capitalism but poetry and mini-golf.

A video shared on social media shows protesters holding Palestinian flags and accusing theatregoers at a cafe next to Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre of “Zionism”.
…
A spokesperson for Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre said: “The videos that emerged on social media were exchanges that did not take place at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. Last night’s performance went ahead as planned.”
Was this demonstration actually in response to the play performance or did they just happen to be near each other?

18·3 months agoFwiw, I can confirm I saw the post you’re responding to as well, it was made by a racist troll who had a brand new account they switched the username on to match the name of a well known account and then spammed racist off topic crap to a bunch of different communities before getting banned (at least, I presume that’s what happened, I just reported their profile and all of their posts then moved on with my day)
Oh yeah, the one that goes “cut my land into pieces, for oligarchs’ resorts”
I’m pretty sure the WJET/WFXP tag on the front of the article means it’s a reprint of an article originally written by the Fox TV affiliate for Erie, Pennsylvania, so yeah this is like a content mill husk that most for-profit local news in America has turned into being regurgitated by a source somehow even more soulless and predatory

Good on him, who doesn’t?
Oh absolutely, no argument there.
Is it oniony because he’s a rapper and if so, what in all boomer hell kind of a take is that? Yikes
No, my intention there was more like " healthcare is such an unbelievably bad scam in this country We had to get a random celebrity that you haven’t thought about for several years on the problem." Like, I figured the service level seeming randomness of the headline would be a good hook to draw people into reading about a real problem (hospital prices being completely unpredictable ) and a good person trying to do something about it, but after reading your comment I can see how that might not have come through.
And the US government is going to hold a vote on a plan to make it harder for people to migrate today

Melvin Conway and Hannah Arendt probably could have had a really fascinating with each other comparing ideas in computer and political sciences

Nobody places less value on Russian life than Russian leadership, from the Tsars onward
I don’t know nearly enough about the different sides here, but a quick skim of the Wikipedia page for the Karen National Union and the National Unity Consultative Council that they’re members of makes it sound like they’re pro-democratic and anti-racist, so, yeah - keep kicking military dictatorship ass!
The devices should be returned to inmates immediately, prison administrators should then slap themselves in the face one time for implementing them poorly to begin with, slap themselves in the face several times for overreacting to a viral story without having any reason to believe there was an active or imminent problem with any of their inmates, and deliver a tooth-loosening punch to their own faces for thinking they could punish these inmates by taking away their education to cover their screw up.
After that, hire a real IT person who knows what they’re doing by paying them decently allowing remote work and not drug testing, and then listen to them.
Not victimizing all of the student inmates because the prison invested in a poorly designed system that could potentially be exploited when none of the students have attempted that exploit or were likely even aware of it
Every prisoner who knew about that password
Meanwhile, back in reality
Wright confirmed no one incarcerated in Washington prisons had attempted to unlock their devices but said the decision was “made out of an abundance of caution.”
They were taken for reasons that inmates had nothing to do with, they have not been replaced, and it’s unclear when they’ll be returned. Inmates who are enrolled in college courses are having to handwrite papers that are due soon.
