If you need a break from the present, may I recommend these flashback interviews on Fresh Air with Johnny Otis and Etta James. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

"MAGA Christianity is not Christianity in any meaningful sense. It is kitsch Christianity: emotionally loaded symbols stripped of theological depth and deployed as an anxiety management system." cybelecanterel.substack.com/p/lost-in-th...

This is such a nightmare and it's all going to end very badly.

Made it to Friday!

Jenny Holzer, "Redacted (Top Secret)," 2012

This is wildly illegal and he has no authority to do this

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

"The soil [for Jackie Amézquita’s wall installation] comes from 144 different neighborhoods across LA, and each panel has been incised with a drawing. In one, you might find the contours of Union Station; in another, the clown from Circus Liquor," @cmonstah.bsky.social.

The world is watching and "indeed it is a small world after all" @disneyparks.bsky.social gonna feel some pain too: bsky.app/profile/dave...

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

No one: Kaiser Permanente: "We're going to keep calling you about stuff but won't leave a return number for you to call because we want you to experience paroxysms of rage using our automated phone tree."

Me in 1999:😑 Ghost from the future: "One day American democracy will hinge on a co-host from 'The Man Show.'"

Kirk was rejected from West Point and opted not to serve as an enlisted man, so what am I missing here?

Reddit asking the important questions.

A good time to avoid the House of Mouse.

"When Lincoln, in his second inaugural address, said that 'every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword,' he may have had this image in mind." www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Kimmel statement in other words, not about Kirk, not colorably hate speech, but about MAGA. And accurate besides. Shame on ABC.

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

Must-read.

When Mr. Extraordinary Rendition says your policies are murderous, it may be time for some reevaluation…

In this week's Art Insider for @kcrw.com, I write about a new group show at LACMA that is an invitation to think about land not as geopolitical territory, but as something far deeper. email.kcrw.com/lacmas-groun...

Tupiza, Bolivia. Near where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed by the Bolivian Army. Why was I even here? Because a childhood spent watching Redford and Newman meant that if I was in Bolivia, I was sure as shit gonna visit Tupiza. RIP Robert Redford. www.latimes.com/obituaries/s...

How your email found me.

WHAT THE HELL

People need to see this on a map to understand how wild the claim it is that the drugs were imminently on their way to the US, requiring the killing of everyone on board. The first boat was heading to Trinidad and Tobago and never made it within 1,500 miles of the continental United States!

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

👇🏽 Helpful knowledge for sooooo many reasons in this era.

As a historian of masculinities, I can confirm that life truly is mostly about Buffalo Wild Wings

Also this is a really good explainer by Cy Canterel on the difference between White Christian Nationalists and the extremely online Blackpill set: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SDpeP6/

A realllllly good TikTok explainer by historian Tad Stoermer on why the Gavin Newsoms and Ezra Kleins of the world are embracing Charlie Kirk’s project. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SDQSKD/

Yes!!! Sending all the vibes from El Lay!

The response to Kirk’s death has neatly folded into the broader fascist purge of journalist, educators and artists.

For those interested, the article that originated the book:

"On the sidewalks of Los Angeles and in the fields of California’s Central Valley, Bloch finds little respite for the unhoused, the farm workers, and the bus riders, but also little political will for change." books.substack.com/p/review-ale...

Firing liberals over stuff right-wingers get away with every day is truly honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy.
