I'm so surprised- I just found that the "Witch Hat House," hasn't sold. This was one of my favorite posts. It's an 1866 Victorian in Lewisburg, PA, 6bds, 4ba, 3,645sqft, reduced $34.9k to $695k.

@tom90deg i sm seriously thinking we should move to Pennsylvania

Aw maaaaan

“Why should rich people pay more” because fuck ‘em

“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant

“I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘‘em’ when relevant” is surprisingly powerful as both a statement and philosophy

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

What's going to kill all of those stupid AIs is when they're made liable for damages.

Circle avatars were a mistake

Yeah. Who even has an avatar that makes sense in a circle? It's just a waste of space!

They're also gutting the Post Office, National Parks, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and dozens of other services people rely on.

Notably, these are also the institutions that, from a capitalist perspective, don't really make money.

Which is why our government shouldn't be run like a business. I shouldn't have justify the expense of making sure people can read, because the value of that is self-evident as soon as you stop trying to view a dollar value attached to it. I don't care that having trees doesn't make a profit, because that's not what they're for.

I swear we need to make more people play city management video games. Most city management games include parks and happiness as an important part of keeping the city functioning and efficient. Unhappy people are less efficient and more likely to go against authority. It also makes things more unstable and it also makes businesses unprofitable. Happy and healthy people with enough income are better for flourishing an economy and therefor a nation and unhappy and unhealthy people.

I find it hilarious that people support fraud, waste, and abuse by a series of Federal Agencies. Agencies giving taxpayer money away to NGOs with no accountability. The United States is trillions of dollars in debt, but you idiots are worried about a gay opera in Central America or the effects of music on transsexual monkeys.

Since the establishment of the Department of Education, American test scores have gone down.

The department of education doesn't decide what is taught or how it is taught.

You're thinking of federal laws that have interfered with those things, such as the No Child Left Behind act.

The dog meme act is not cutting fraud and waste. It's just cutting whatever tweet man feels like with or without looking into what it is or understanding it. The party of "we're bringing jobs back" is killing thousands of jobs that include our most critical scientific and medical studies out of sheer blind stupidity and a lack of care for human lives.

I see from you recent posts that you've fallen for the lazy context stripping and distortion of these things in a way I honesty thought even you weren't stupid enough for. No, economic problems do not come from an imaginary effort to make animals transgender, or millions of dead people getting social security.

You're proving the original point. You are not informed or educated. Your image of your country and what goes on in it is built predominantly off of second hand 4chan word salads. You have literally no idea what you're ever talking about, yet most of your tumblr presence is an attempt to smugly snark on perceived foolishness and ignorance. You do it wrong and it's embarrassing.

i think every medieval timesey ren fair type attraction should have a booth of pedantry where if you wanna know if something happening is Authentic or you wanna ask questions about real medieval times or whatever you can stop by and there's just a historian sitting on a throne of books eager to show you all their research

I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

Don’t do this to me

In Plagiarism and You(Tube), Hbomb says "If you consider something so obscure you can get away with stealing it, you do not respect it." Save that line for the next time someone tries to tell you that Roy Lichtenstein brought respect to comics as art.

It's since been pointed out that while Lichtenstein did copy one of Russ Heath's drawings of an airplane getting hit, the painting depicted above was actually copied off Irv Norvick, because Lichtenstein did this so many times to so many comic artists.

In Lichtenstein's defense, he was doing this in a time when comic artists frequently weren't even credited in the issues themselves. In his condemnation, he never even tried to check, nor has he made any move to pay or credit any of the comic artists who recognized their own work later on. Rather than elevating the "low art" of comics, he was widening the gap of financial success and respect even further.

The Hbomberguy of this story is art historian David Barsalou, who has now spent decades tracking down the original art and the names of the original artists used in Lichtenstein's most famous output. Here's the full flickr gallery for the Deconstructing Roy Lichtenstein project. Frequently copied were Tony Abruzzo, Ted Galindo, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Kubert, Jerry Grandenetti, and dozens more Golden Age artists who aren't very well known in comics circles, let alone art history books. Many of them died in poverty. That's something that the Hero Initiative, mentioned in Russ Heath's comic above, aims to prevent.

Also, Lichtenstein didn't even paint Ben-Day dots. That's a specific thing.

Another throughline here: Plagarized work is lazy work, and lazy work shows through in the final product.

In a massive stroke of irony, the commercial artists he copied from display much higher classical technical skill than his enormous-scale paintings. There's a delicacy to the brushstrokes, a level of expressiveness, and a clear understanding of form and shadow in those tiny newsprint originals.

The changes Lichtenstein made often omitted or simplified backgrounds and text, used garish primary colors, and—later in his work—undressed the women in the panels. Central to his "iconoclasm" was depicting comic art as even more simplistic and culturally shallow than it already was.

Copyright law offers no help to the original creatives, freelancers on exploitative short-term contracts. Russ Heath explains, “I couldn’t do anything because all the characters that I did draw for comic books were, at that time, owned by the comic book company. So, if they want to sue, they could sue and have a legitimate reason to sue. But they wouldn’t make enough to bother having a suit.” Most of the writers ripped off by Somerton, too, were on contracts which meant they do not have the rights to their own work.

Art historians are correct that Roy Lichtenstein's work raises interesting questions about mass reproduction, parody, and the border between "commercial" and "high" art. The answers to those questions, however, are not flattering to the art world at all.

One of the scariest things that happens on this website is that homestuck just goes trending every now and then for literally no reason at all.

Sometimes we all just collectively think about homestuck
