A write-up







"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Congratulations to Tim Mellon, the far right billionaire who just volunteered to become the literal poster child for ads about billionaires whose tax cuts are a primary reason why the govt is shut down. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

If I’m recalling correctly, Timothy Mellon was the only MAGA donor who surpassed Elon Musk in 2024. He dropped $50m on a pro-Trump super PAC the day after Trump was convicted of dozens of felonies last year. God only knows what that has bought him. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/u...

this is the cherry on top: "He is also a significant supporter of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who also ran for president last year. Mr. Mellon donated millions to Mr. Kennedy’s presidential campaign and has also given money to his anti-vaccine group, Children’s Health Defense."

Fun fact: Mellon is known to be fixated with Amelia Earhart — so if you’ve wondered why Trump has talked about her seemingly out of nowhere, that’s probably a big clue!

@shagisabadword

like I am genuinely baffled. And Cbs is trying to lie in this news article saying that children were not provided these cards, but I know parents who said in their buckets the KKK cards were inside of them. ‼️ these cards were passed to children. And Facebook is trying to make it seem like this is not bad of a situation because they were not targeting children. THE KKK should not be walking in a Halloween parade at all ‼️

The KKK did participate in the Pennsylvania event, but insist they handed out recruitment materials only to adults and not directly to kids.







The types of viral DARVO rhetoric that have been leveraged against celebrity women like Amber Heard are now being weaponized against everyday, working-class women who report sexual violence. And AI is helping accelerate these narratives. My latest dispatch from hell: spitfirenews.com/p/doordash-a...

OOH I GET TO TELL THIS STORY We were doing a cave tour in England and midway through the tour she said it's not working out. That's fine, she was right, we kinda sucked together. Anyway, the tour guide says five minutes later that the entrance is unstable so we're going to hold tight for an hour.

something poetic about cinematographers looking for the best image stabilization in hardware while digital animators are searching for the most believable camera shake in software
