Tweet on Pedro Bell

Artist Pedro Bell did the great covers for many Funkadelic and George Clinton albums. My favorite of his designs is the cover for Cosmic Slop.

Pedro Bell, Artist of Funkadelic’s Iconic Album Covers, Has Died. Solo tweet day today. Am that bummed. Album cover artist of the first record I ever bought with my own money-Cosmic Slop. Yes had Roger Dean. Miles had Abdul Mati. Funkadelic had him.
RIP

YouTube video on photos of Robert Johnson

One of the photos was used for a Johnson stamp but they removed the cigarette he was smoking!

Did the same thing to the great Robert Johnson, when he got a stamp. pic.twitter.com/d14sH6aFPd

Democrats don’t have a messaging problem. They have a distribution problem.

Liberals need to get innovative about how they’ll push out the truth amid this information ecosystem dominated by a powerful right-wing disinformation machine.

Trump’s mastery of disinformation has caused people to vote against their own self-interest.
His playbook is the same as Russia’s: promote declinism, demonize and scapegoat, stoke outrage, divide and conquer. 4/4 END

My second AI image

I know someone who loves lobster tails at Outback. I asked AI to make an image of a giant lobster attacking Outback, It gave me three pictures. One has a car that looks like it’s from the 1960s.
