I platinumed Expedition 33 and started Ghost of Yotei. It looks pretty, but doesn't strike me as substantially different from Tsushima.

Easy access to gelatin and refrigeration was kind of new in the 50s.

It was partially a ploy by refrigeration companies to make the common ownership of newly-available refrigerators obvious and a point of pride/envy in suburban households.

Wait, Occupied Palestine wants the ability to be shitheads, so the deal is tanked? Color me surprised.

If "all power corrupts", why should we choose a system that actively selects for greed?

The thing people who say socialist/leftist/Marxist/etc. systems are doomed to failure always conveniently ignore is that the reason they "fail" is almost exclusively because of external capitalist influence, not because of inherent flaws in the socialist/leftist/Marxist/etc. systems themselves. Sanctions, hostile destabilization, genocide, sure, but all of those things tend to be the sort of things that capitalism (nominally, anyway) claims to be against through the "free market", "moral stances" and by the influence or deliberate abstention of aid to facilitate a desired outcome that's counter to leftist systems.

If capitalism was as good as they claim it is, it would survive on its own merits. But it isn't, so propaganda and fuckery are necessary to make it look better than any alternatives.

Has he ever been poised to do anything? He seems as if he needs a great deal of effort to do so much as stand up.

...which explains the toilet tweeting

Where does the thinktank Ember get the line "one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet"? What other solar revolutions have come close to what Cuba is doing?

Don't try to get out of it. It's the most power you will ever get as a single citizen in the US. You can make the difference in someone else's life, and it may be a matter of life and death based on a law that you don't even think should exist. If you ever have a trial by jury, you don't want to be judged by a group of people who couldn't think of a good-enough excuse to get out of it, you want smart people who will potentially put their foot in the door between you and unjust laws.

Read up on jury nullification. Try to get on a jury. Don't tell them anything they don't ask directly. Dress like anything but who they think they don't want on their jury during the voir dire process.

I was summoned once, but no juries were selected that day. My younger brother was the foreperson of a grand jury.

Anyone else not know what JT's podcasts were called until he mentioned them directly in one of the most recent episodes of The Deprogram?

They're marks, and they always have been.

 

I love how these came out, and I'm still on the hunt for a tattoo artist to convert these into skink.

I'm looking for places to work, and I'd love to find somewhere where I don't have to hide my political or economic positions from people I interact with on a daily basis.

When I search for "communist businesses in the US", I get a long list of historical organizations that were the targets of HUAC, plenty of articles about investigations by senators into Chinese military companies, and other unhelpful garbage propaganda.

Surely there are some companies or organizations that are looking for employees, not just volunteers, but man are they hard to find.

 

I was designing myself a tattoo and got a little carried away vectorizing and re-drawing monks' illustrations from old manuscripts. This poster is the full version, and I'm getting 5" stickers printed of each one, individually. Some of them just look dumb, and others make you wonder what the hell the description was that the artists were going off of. I love how little they knew about aquatic animals, and how many of them just got feet because they didn't know what was going on underwater. Others clearly have human faces because animal faces are hard. Some are understandable because European monks probably didn't have access to a hippo, but others like a cat, owl or fish surely were around. They got human faces anyway.

I'm selling prints here

 

When you're planning out a tattoo, do you find the artist and then decide what you want, or do you come up with an idea and then find an artist whose style matches what you want? If the latter, how do you find that artist? Do you just search through the local shops or social media to find someone whose style matches what you want, or is there some sort of database where you can search artists by style and location?

I've got a series of medieval animal illustrations that I'd like to turn into a sleeve. It's fully designed (aside from whatever twist the artist wants to put on each one to match their style), but picking an artist who can trace a printout seems as if it would do them a disservice for the work they're putting into it. I'd love to not have to drive for ten hours to get what will likely be multiple days of work, and searching for artists that do engraving or woodcut styles don't seem to have a web presence anywhere nearby.
