I wish throwing $10 at my favorite authors was enough for them to afford to focus on writing and get their next book out faster. 😞

If I am ever so fortunate as to become fucking rich, maybe I can do what rich people used to do and just pay artists to keep making their art and not worry about having to pay for a silly things like rent and food.

The world would be a better place if rich people re-embraced that old tradition.

They’re like “oh Michelangelo was amazing. “ but he could have never done what he did without rich patrons and they’re not willing to put up the money to sponsor the next one.

unless it's their own kids 👀 in many fields of the arts, it's nepotism and money that allow the unpaid internships, expensive training, and specialized equipment that allows them to have that career. That cushy trust fund paying for a Manhattan apartment while they "get started..."

They don't care about the quality of the art or artist, just feeding fame to their children to keep their "legacy" going.






I would add that the decline of US manufacturing was a decision by the elites in order to bust unions. Service economies like McDonald's or Wal-Mart are much less unionized, and their employees are much easier to control. And non-compete clauses mean that you can't just go work for a competitor across the street if your boss treats you like s__t. #1u

I never understood why so many labor unions endorsed Reagan. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on the Decline of U.S. Manufacturing:

“I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist. It wasn’t an accident or a failure, it was a decision by the elites.”

Palmer Luckey explained how the U.S. intentionally shifted away from manufacturing to a “higher value” service economy.

A decision that he says has handed immense power to #China and now threatens the current geopolitical order.

Despite all his talk, this is a trend that Donald #Trump is continuing. #1u

If I'm Zelensky and I'm giving up one inch of territory I'd want instantaneous membership in NATO. A security garantee from the US right now is worthless.

TODAS LAS DEMOCRACIAS EN CRISIS, ¿POR QUÉ ?
Era inimaginable que una buena parte de la población llegase a pensar que un régimen autoritario puede funcionar mejor que uno basado en las libertades y los DDHH. A los demócratas convencidos les puede parecer todo esto un proceso de involución, pero tal vez haya una explicación que nos pueda tranquilizar, tal vez a las democracias actuales les falta algo que han de desarrollar....

Tonight on #Monsterdon it's SHE CREATURE :blobastonished:

Woman scorned or maritime horror but with a lisp?

YES?

Either way I am sure it will be as respectable of women as you'd expect :blobcheeky:

That moment of smoldering eye contact the #Monsterdon creature just shared w/ the hypnotist was the most erotic thing to happen so far in this film & that's saying QUITE a lot

I think the lawyer in that #Monsterdon scene is the only one who hit the scene's intended tone
