If your RTS seem broken, it's bc Twitter broke them. They've disabled RTs through the election, forcing you to quote-tweet instead. Look at the charming behavior Twitter THINKS this will encourage, instead of just a million idiots quote-tweeting lies but adding "THIS!👇 #MAGA 🇺🇸" Image
It seems like some people can still do regular RTs, but I can't, so expect yours to change soon. Source: blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/c…
Twitter claims that changing the way retweets work ahead of the election is to help prevent the spread of misinformation (read: cover their ass). But guess who the biggest source of misinformation is, and guess who his favorite platform is where he's free to spread it unfiltered? Image
Ah, this works for me. If Twitter is forcing you to add a comment to a retweet, just hit retweet anyway and it will RT it the old way. So really all they're doing is just making things more clumsy and confusing, cool cool.

Trump's sabotage of the USPS is very real. There are reports everywhere of increasing mail problems over the past couple months. This affects most artists & small biz like me who rely on USPS rates to sell things online. Please be patient with us. Everyone's doing their best.
Setting aside the very worrying vote-by-mail issue, the other side affect of the USPS sabotage is destroying small businesses, because frustrated customers will go to large corporate retailers like Amazon who can afford to eat the cost of shipping via UPS or FedEx.
Republicans have been slobbering over killing the post office for decades, and the toadie Trump inserted to run USPS is especially invested in its destruction. They want shipping to move to private for-profit industry they can invest in. They don't care if that kills small biz.

Nine Inch Nails' #WithTeeth, the first album I art directed end-to-end and the beginning of my work in glitch art, was released 15 years ago today. Happy birthday, old friend.

Here are some of the web teaser videos I created ahead of the album's 2005 release:
If you haven't picked it up yet, the @nineinchnails "Definitive Edition" vinyl re-issue of #WithTeeth is available direct from NIN, and is the most complete representation of my artwork for the album: store.nin.com/collections/mu… - an absolute steal at $35!
Some notes on the NIN #WithTeeth art:

During the recording process, the album was known as "Bleedthrough" before it became "With Teeth." I created early concept art for Bleedthrough using a broken printer, and it formed a mysterious early teaser website that I still love.

IT’S HAPPENING. I have movie tickets, a lot of mushrooms, and a very patient wife.
@ScottWamplerBMD hold me
T-minus 30 minutes. Things are getting weird. Not really sure how strong these mushrooms are so I just guessed. My Mom took me to see the touring production of cats when I was a kid and all I remember is I HATED it. How long into the film will I last before I have a panic attack?

Does anyone else find it strange to see so much modern Star Wars marketing asking kids to "choose a side"? When I was a kid, it was pretty fucking clear that there were the good guys and the genocidal fascists. Feels like crass marketing to "both-sides" a CLEAR good vs evil story
And granted, TLJ crafted a genuinely interesting conflicted villain in Kylo Ren, and it's good to evolve our fantasy narratives beyond such binary understandings of morality. BUT STILL, you don't CHOOSE THE SIDE of the planet-exploding fascists WHY IS THAT ADVERTISED AS AN OPTION
I've said for years that America's NFL obsession has done harm to America's politics, because it's been so easy to turn the feverish loyalty people have to "their team" into political loyalty, which makes ppl focus on blind allegiance over objective facts.

I’ve been thinking recently about youth angst and how differently - and famously - it was expressed through music #InThe90s. The further we get away from the era that defined people of my age (my teen years were spent in the 90s), the more alien it feels in retrospect. A THREAD.
I often wonder why there isn’t more hate and angst in youth culture now. A lot of that, I think, is how different “millennial angst” is manifested in pop culture. It’s absolutely out there - it’s just communicated so differently than ours was, because the outlets or so different.
#InThe90s, “hate” was a mantra. It was *cool* to hate. We hated pop music, we hated old people, our parents, conformity, war, capitalism, commercialism, “selling out,” “the man,” preppies, jocks, “suits,” etc. We defined ourselves not by what we LIKED, but what we HATED.

Trump won on a campaign of racist white grievance. Shout “economic anxiety” all you want, but we all know why he won. And it’s very clear that he’s going to double down HARD on that strategy for 2020. So let me, a straight white man, rant a bit about “white grievance.” THREAD 1/
I’ve had a tremendous amount of privilege my whole life, and I didn’t even realize it for decades, because that’s how privilege works: When you have it, it’s invisible to you, until you have the life experiences or put the work in to recognize it. 2/
Otherwise, it’s easy to not even know it’s there, because it’s just always been part of the fabric of who you are, ESPECIALLY when you're in a cultural bubble where everyone around you also has it.

*beckons you close and whispers* THAT’S LITERALLY WHY IT’S CALLED PRIVILEGE.
