My friend gave me this little lego artist. It’s pretty awesome, and helps me work sometimes:
This Easter the movie The Vinyl Frontier will be playing at NWFF. Artists and the director will be there to answer questions. I can’t watch it due to plans, but you might be able to (may want to call in advance to make sure you’re getting in).
Via the Stranger, the entirety of Seattle City Hall’s elected leadership signed a letter in support of SB 5073 yesterday.
So this is where it stands now: Washington in general appears to be generally ready to do this at every other level, but Gregoire in particular may veto in order to grab a cushy federal job after election.
Either way I think we can put Medical Marijuana in the same stack of political issues as Women’s Rights (by which I mean child prevention in it’s many forms) and Gay Rights: Things that are definitely going to be OK in the long run, but may not be in a good way or may need support at any particular moment.
That leaves… Prison Reform, Net Neutrality, Copyright Reform, Government Reform (electoral reform, lobbying reform), and the Culture Wars, as the top political issues that I see as needing advocacy. And out of those, Net Neutrality and Copyright Reform probably are the issues with the most possibility of falling into an unfavorable Nash Equilibrium worldwide for centuries.
Incidentally, I just realized it’s 4/20 today. I’m not impressed if this was timed. The partial legalization of pot should stand or fall on its own merits. Theming the issue allows it to be dismissed as a minority issue rather than an issue of rights and effects.
I was walking and saw a man walking faster than other people on the sidewalk. “He must feel awkward” I thought as I caught up to him. Moments later a young woman passed us both at speed.
She achieved this by walking between the curb and the various sidewalk structures.
You are paying attention to 4 Color Process, right?
This recent post shows two faces drawn by the famous Jack Kirby.
Look at the little connecting lines below. Who draws like that? Who thinks like that?
