Hello Fediverse! It's time for a reintroduction since I've finally deleted most of corporate social media! πŸŽ‰

Full-time artist for nearly 20 years, I paint mostly people and other animals in a polka-dot cubist style. In 2017, a tech company recognized my contribution to the look of the new millennium by naming one of their filters "the Seemel," which I took as both a compliment and a cheeky challenge from our future AI overlords to keep making original art that matters.

House Report Shows Trump 'Deliberately and Repeatedly' Undermined Covid-19 Response


commondreams.org/news/2022/08/…

And Why? For nothing more than political gain.

How many people lost their lives due to this man's madness?

How about a conviction for the death of 100.000 people... That should put him behind bars long enough.


The March Towards US Fascism Began With the Corporate Hijacking of Democracy


commondreams.org/views/2022/08…

in reply to tom grzyb

"At bottom, the Court's opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self-government since the founding , and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt. "It is a strange time to repudiate that common sense. While American democracy is imperfect, few outside the majority of this court would have thought its flaws included a dearth of corporate money in politics."β€”Justice John Paul Stevens's dissent in Citizens United
in reply to tom grzyb

The corporate hijacking of Democracy is neo-liberalism, not fascism. Neoliberalism, a right-wing, conservative, economic theory, probably does help pave the way to the fascism of a trump, but they are not the same thing.



So, um... I'm sitting here writing a ghost story for a project that I'll talk about soon. And there's a streaming music app sitting idle in the background. It's not playing music, because I need to concentrate to get a chapter off the ground. Once I get going, it's fine and I fire up the music.

Of its own accord, and without any input from me, it just started playing this. I didn't touch the app and, indeed, it's on another screen on a different desktop.

No person has committed fraud though?

Well, supposedly... corporations are people, so why can't people be corporations. ;)

ICE Leadership breaks federal law destroying public records


cnn.com/2022/08/22/politics/ic…

in reply to tom grzyb

"Text messages often contain crucial information on what federal employees are doing and why they are doing it. The obligation to retain these records is not optional β€” it is the law."

ICE is a semi-fascistic operation, and out of control.

in reply to tom grzyb

The review followed weeks of heavy criticism over lost text messages at the Secret Service and revelations that the phones of top former DHS officials Ken Cuccinelli and Chad Wolf were wiped after they left office.
It's unclear how the DHS review impacts the phone policy at ICE, which is part of the department. CNN has reached out to ICE and DHS.

Like Father, Like Son. DHS is a semi-fascistic operation, and out of control.

outrageous salaries
Completely cooked that the Vice Chancellor of ANU is paid $660k a year, and even more so that this makes them probably the LOWEST PAID IN THE COUNTRY.

Anything Microsoft had a hand in is suspect. They are in deep with the CIA and NSA.


As Amazon grows, so does its eye on consumers

in reply to tom grzyb

With the death of the mass-market paperback, I am doomed to buy my books online, but I sure do resent it. With the current and future plagues, mask rage keeps me out of stores as much as possible; I greatly resent that as well. I strive to buy as little as possible, not to save money per se, but because: fuck you in general to the way things are proceeding.
in reply to tom grzyb

I'm big on "No" - but that only takes you so far. πŸ˜‰

What I will do instead, sometimes, is "play dumb", like all this new technology "does not make sense to me" and I need something that can work without it.

Hi all, I have a few questions for the community about PeerTube strategy for online independent film distribution.

I'm part of an academic/art/film project and we are going to publish online about 5-10 short and long films in the next 3 years. Some of them will be trailers. Some of them will be films behind a password, to be viewed by a restricted audience for a while. Some of them will be freely accessible full-length films (eventually all password-protected films will be come available).

As a group, we want to publish in free/open access/open source platforms. We are already present on mastodon (post.lurk.org/web/@securityvis…) and would like to pursue a free-publish first strategy. What would you recommend? 1/2

J'ouvre des requΓͺtes, Γ  partir de 5€ :boost:
Si vous voulez que je dessine un (ou plusieurs) personnages de #OnePiece c'est par ici β€’ ko-fi.com/zorume/commissions :ko_fi:

Ce seront des #sketch (propres) au minimum (voir images), et si j'ai l'envie, je pourrais faire plus.

L'idée est de gagner un peu d'argent et de m'entrainer, et vous de voir des dessins de vos personnages favoris ou des scènes cool.
