The “labor market” has upon it the everlasting seal of social execration. The useful have always been detested by the useless. The parasite scorns the gudgeon he preys upon.

Many years ago, my nightmare was used for one of Jesse Reklaw's dream toons in "Slow Wave." Who wants to be a prophet, anyway?

I don't think a lot of people realize there is an ongoing major disaster in Crestline, CA. 10 days in and they're still trapped. Many people are running low on food, some without power. Houses have collapsed. No one can drive up the mountain to them. Where is the @CalGuard?

"tyranny is always petty" is one of those things guys who wanna sound clever but aren't like to say; tyrants seek grand gestures always and everywhere. also, asking people to conserve paper does not resemble tyranny in any serious discourse, for the love of Jesus Mary & Joseph

The lack of a door is intentional. It's said to symbolize man's isolation in the modern world.

Happy birthday Juergen Teller 🎂 📷 Self Portrait, 2015 "Teller’s style has long included the use of overexposed light (he regularly deploys the glare of a camera flash in wildly unglamorous & unsparing ways) & is fond of scenarios infused with absurdity." - Carolina A. Miranda

Talking to art director friend at a major studio. He reviews job applicants, mentions that his duties now entail identifying and eliminating AI art portfolios. Vangelis plays quietly as I take a vape pull. "Have you ever rejected a human artist by mistake?"
