I tried to make sense of Frieze LA 2026 and the role that art fairs play (not sure I succeeded) for @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/frieze-la-me...

My concise @hyperallergic.com guide for the LA art fairs this week, plus a few non-fair events! #friezeLA #Felix #PostFair hyperallergic.com/your-guide-t...

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

You may not know Jerry McMillan's name, but you've certainly seen his photos. The preeminent chronicler of the freewheeling LA art scene of the 1960s and 70s passed away on Monday at the age of 89. My obit for @hyperallergic.com #jerrymcmillan hyperallergic.com/jerry-mcmill...

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

There are raids going all over Los Angeles. I just saw video of ICE chasing some guy through the parking lot of my local supermarket.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Just cause someone gives you their trophy, doesn’t mean you actually received the award.

From our pal, the amazing @laloalcaraz.bsky.social

can someone explain to me how ice goons could possibly have blanket immunity when cops and soldiers don't? like i understand the current admin isn't big on the law, but is there any legal basis for this?

happy new year world. here's my first list for 2026 of ten LA shows to see this month, via @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/10-art-shows...

Yeah I’m doing dry January…dry martini January!

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Was the clue when he said we were going to occupy Venezuela for years to make sure we took their oil

Pluribus spoiler: it was just a prank bro.

i contributed 2 blurbs to @hyperallergic.com's list of the best shows around the world in 2025: "Nadya Tolokonnikova: Police State" at MOCA Geffen and "Temporary Home" curated by Beatriz Cortez at the Galka Scheyer House / Blue Heights Arts & Culture Residency hyperallergic.com/the-best-art...

LACMA workers vote to unionize, via @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/lacma-worker...

been watching the indiana jones films with my kid and it struck me that there are no jewish characters, even though the nazis are the big baddies in 3 of the 5 films. that's weird right? (yes, i realize spielberg and ford are jewish, and indy could be seen as "jewish-coded")

Hey fam, I’ll be in conversation with the LA Creeps - Liz Walsh and Kim Weller - at LAST Projects this Sunday Dec 14 at 6pm on the closing day of their show “mirror, mirror” come thru!

Llyn Foulkes, Quintessential LA Artist, dies at 91, via @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/1059544/llyn...

Same toad, same.

I wrote about the fantastic Hancock / Guston show at the @skirball.bsky.social for @cmonstah.bsky.social’s @kcrw.com Art Insider newsletter. Check it out!

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Andrea Gyorody resigns as director of the Weisman Museum at Pepperdine after school administration removes "political" artwork, via @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/1052299/cali...

hey maggots! I wrote about the most disgusting band in the universe, #gwar for @kcrw.com. Their wonderfully revolting show at Beyond the Streets focuses on the visual art output of this multi-faceted collective. Thanks to @cmonstah.bsky.social for bringing me on board! email.kcrw.com/shock-rocker...

why are LA galleries closing? please let me know your thoughts!

wait, Barry White is taking over cBS?! let's go!

Just a nit pick, journalists don't "do the fucking news," they are supposed to gather, verify and report "the fucking news."

For @hyperallergic.com, I spoke with 5 artists included in this year's Made in LA biennial at the Hammer (opening this weekend!) who explore history, narrative, and time in their work. hyperallergic.com/1046894/five...

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits
