I tried to spend the equivalent of Trump’s proposed military budget. Globally, I eliminated hunger & extreme poverty; in the US, I ended homelessness, covered the uninsured, installed universal pre-K, sent another round of $600 checks, & powered 50% of households with solar. I have $77B left over.

@greg.org archiving my mom's art and found this very early drawing and thought of you.

The @nybooks.com launched a new "In the Galleries" page, which is very cool, to cover art--and I'm very happy to help them launch it (along with the great Dawn Chan) www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

As a disappointed Knicks fan, this story is a bright spot in response to The Post and the @nytimes coverage of @mayor.nyc.gov bringing art and fandom together. news.artnet.com/art-world/to...

This is why no one should look at museum boards as a model.

Apex? lol.

“Noah Davis” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (or whatever they’re calling it now—they’re the HBO Max of museums) is essential viewing. It’s also really troubling. My take here: 4columns.org/d-souza-arun...

Thank you @mayor.nyc.gov

It tastes like Monet's water lilies with notes of money and brand deals.

only 24% of respondents think it's worthwhile. 22% are "not sure" (oof, but perhaps accurate since there haven't been many reasons stated for the war in the first place).

The fact that 49% of Americans think it's worthwhile is alarming. As if I needed more confirmation of the depth of the problems here.

It would seem the opposite of collective organizing is starting a podcast/substack. The demands of organizing (and progressive democratic practices are often too much for people who want an audience). #Onetomany

The rest of UK society must be crumbling into the sea.

It may be a little “inside baseball,” but there’s currently a discussion happening about how New York’s affordability crisis is impacting not just artists but the art they make. I weighed in, for @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/unlike-josh-...

Not everything needs a news alert.

NYTimes: But what about the missing airman? The one person who might give Iran leverage over their aggressor.

There are about six people I care to follow on this site who still post somewhat regularly.

The top three @nytimes.com articles are about one missing person in a conflict that has killed thousands of other individuals. #AmericanExceptionalism

It's ignore the Internet day.

I cannot unhear the phrase "Zoolander-like messiah" used to describe incel looksmaxxing idols. I'd be okay if we turned off the internet now.

freedom to learn, freedom to learn, all these broligarchs hate the freedom to learn docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Begging for scraps.

You assholes.

The reality warping effects of a society built around the wealthy.

I’m here with Scabantha the inflatable rat on day 2 of the NYU contract faculty strike. Lots of noise, lots of pressure on the administration to make a deal

Well, @wnyc sounds like an organization auditioning to get their federal funding back from this administration. "Let's get a counterargument from a publication no one has ever heard of."

<Soylent Green voice>The economy is made of people!

I'm too tired for Forms of Capital discourse.

Profits can come and go as long their properties (and laws that maintain ownership) remain intact. Eventually tho, if the properties don't generate a profit what's to control with impunity?

One can only hope.

It may be better to question why Noma existed and who it was for (hint: rich people getting richer).

This headline material from the @nytimes.com makes no sense unless they are just accepting the lies, corruption, delusions, and idiocy of this regime.

Not enough? Or the precise amount by our dwindling media outlets?

Visiting the Whitney Biennial and exiting into the gentle sounds of a Free Friday night musical set with the ticket area turned into a cocktail bar is perfect punctuation for the show. Only missing a cat cafe area.

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

Thinking back to the Kompromat days of Trump discourse.

Some thoughts by Pablo Helguera on the utility of detachment in the face of immediacy. pablohelguera.substack.com/p/the-social...

Says a lot about him that he's still on twitter :/

What is the mystery @nytimes.com?

Yarvin is still the dumbest antimemetic of Nadia Asparouhova's book, which is already a retelling of Dark Matter (referenced in previous post).

Boots on various grounds. That escalated quickly.

I'm horrified by the social realities that will flow from American energy infrastructures. The politics are already had.

With no mass protest movements in the streets all commentary sounds silly.

No one knows why it is.

Always relevant, Gregory Sholette's analysis of the dark matter. A short intro via his work from Hyperallergic hyperallergic.com/dark-matter-...

Chef's Table always felt like an over produced, fantasy version of the chefs and restaurants they profiled.

as a Noma employee told the NYT the last time they reported on this abuse and violence, “Everything luxetarian is built on somebody’s back; somebody has to pay.” Exploitation is a selling point; for $1,500, people expect the fruit leather beetles to taste like owning slaves.
