There’s a special kind of irony in watching the “shall not be infringed” crowd twist themselves into knots insisting birthright citizenship shouldn’t exist. It’s amazing how flexible “absolute” rights become when they’re someone else’s.
Trump’s personal army/police detained a nun walking to mass, dressed in her habit. They held her in custody until public outcry led to her release. Don’t forget: we live in a county whose federal government, and many states’ governments, are controlled by Republican Fascism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/30/ice-nun-detained-released-texas
We are witnessing unprecedented corruption and malignancy by the most powerful people in government, media, and technology that it is amazing how so many people still don’t see it.
Having so many people in power with such evil objectives is not normal.

In the U.S., the fight over birthright citizenship is only just beginning. The Republican Fascist Party will center the issue in the midterms and beyond, because it is THE proxy for their white supremacism.

"Edgar shares, "I've worked in the fields of Salinas for 20 years. Spent long hours bending my back, cutting and harvesting lettuce, cutting my hands, and pushing through pain to help put food on people’s tables."
"Farmworkers are essential. We are not disposable."
A reminder that SCOTUS declined to hear Trump’s appeal to E Jean Carroll, leaving permanently intact his obligation to pay Carroll $5M in fines plus $100M in jury awards. In other words, the US Supreme Court is upholding the ruling that Donald Trump is a rapist. It’s forever in the historical record—and we haven’t even gotten to the Epstein files yet.
Beyond paying restitution, this demands immediate resignation—period.
Do you need a hug?
Happy Dootsday!

I am very satisfied to report the 2013 game Michael Brough and I made, "BECOME A GREAT ARTIST IN JUST 10 SECONDS", has now been re-released on Itch with modern OS compatibility.
Originally made for the Ludum Dare game jam, GREAT ARTIST is an unhelpful art program, offering a large number of art production tools none of which work as you expect. Think of it as immersion training in glitch art, or a toy for babies producing colorful lights and sounds. Anyway, it's fun.

So, my uni women's rowing club decided to restrict membership to cis women only. In response, a new "open" division was created that anyone can compete in.
Lots of women left to join the open division instead, and now the women's club are complaining about losing their best rowers.
Be transphobic, lose support.
That's the conses of your quences, folks.
When someone says they are feeling crabby that means they are feeling evolutionarily advanced.

To be fair... the eagles can be found in US federal architecture from 200 years ago. Most of the things that get called "Nazi architecture" are exposition styles that go back to the 1880s and earlier. They didn't invent anything new.
I think that Trump et al *wanted* that Nazi look, and they have the temu version.
But also "Nazi architecture" does not exist.

And now the theft of art is automated by "A.I.".

The eagle over the swastika embossed into each top corner stone would complete the look.
