“… you cannot do groundbreaking science without imagination and you cannot be relevant as an artist without any knowledge of matter.” Maya Drøschler

Saving for later … Part 1 was brilliant. All the good good spirited things we can do to tell different stories of the rural (the rural that’s there for all) create magic, move, engage & change things. Bravo @olliedouglas.bsky.social @joevaughan.net @lisaschneidau.bsky.social Ruth Webb & Crockern!

‘The enduring liberal fantasy that Melania Trump is unwilling, trapped, in need of rescue, #FreeMelania, has never squared with the most rigorous reporting about her.’ @deborahfriedell.bsky.social on Trump’s First Lady. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It will allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship. Call your congress people TODAY

man I have just been living my life acting like chatGPT etc. simply don’t exist. in fact I’m full on regressing to 2010s-era technology. in fact I’m going back even further and just using paper and pen. carrying on blissfully not taking part in any LLM discourse; I am simply coding and creating

What's my favorite movie? Great question. Jimmy Bennett's masterpiece "Fatal Deviation" but only after watching the @oswreview.bsky.social of the movie until the entire audio becomes the commentary track playing in my head while I watch the movie. Truly the superlative way to experience cinema

A lot of people on this site simply don’t even know what religion *is*, and that there are vast differences even in how superficially similar religious traditions can express themselves.

@michellehogan.bsky.social thanks for the follow! I have no idea if we're what you need but I hope you like our nonsense

An old piece about the rise of Khomeini and the Islamic Republic. Though dated in some ways, the piece offers useful context for thinking about the IR’s brutality— and about the history of American aggression against Iran. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v3...

This podcast loves entartete kunst and muzik. Max Nordau is a schmendrick.

How to protect fine, upstanding Americans from degenerate artists tumbleweird.org/protect-americans-degenerate-artists/ By: M. Art Greatagan Narrated by Rae Witte #ArtCensorship #Authoritarianism #CultureWar #FreedomOfExpression #politicalart #degenerateart

Otto Freundlich (German-Jewish, 1878 – 1943) was born on this day (July 10). He was murdered in a death camp the day he arrived there. "Cosmic Eye", n/d. #ArtSky #Freundlich #DegenerateArt

The audio on this is a bit tinny but I think we did a good job overall! #degenerateart pca.st/episode/fab7...

Unfortunately relevant to this podcast, goddamnit

Anyone following up for up-to-minute news may need to find another source. We are ALL about the controversies that no one cares about anymore. So about Riyadh--can the people who performed there even name a Saudi comedian? Neither can I, but that's not my job.

been listening to some old bill hicks specials and fuck me dude every single free speech anti-woke comedian working today can only be described as embarrassingly soy compared to mr "tie me to your headboard, let me wear you like a feed bag [10 wordless minutes of demonic sex noises]"

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Most important question of our time

To management at museums whose employees may be in the process of unionizing: It’s time to stop excluding workers, boldly resist further capitulation to the Trump regime, and recognize your unions.

While sifting through a 15th-century alchemical manuscript, art historian Denva Gallant came across an image that stopped her in her tracks: an angel with dark skin. This rare illustration cast Blackness not as a mirror of sin, but the ground from which love itself might take shape.

With a duck-like bill, beaver-like tail, and the ability to lay eggs, the platypus has a lot going on. It lives in Australia, where it inhabits fresh water. It also happens to be venomous, inducing excruciating pain with its sting. Photo: John Morton, CC BY-SA 2.0, iNaturalist

@katmablueheart.bsky.social Thanks for the follow! As follower, you are now more beautiful and interesting than everyone else on this website and you can pitch topics or do your own episode.

@doodnat.bsky.social Not sure what convinced you to follow Echologorrhea other than our official stance that your cat is very good little guy. Now that I type that, yeah that feels like a good reason. Also please send more pics of your cat being the most specialest little guy

The most talented team making stuff on YT. Rebranding because the algorithm isn't fond of queer stuff. I hope the new name is punished a little less. Please sub and check out the videos, they're a treasure trove of cinema love.

To be clear: this podcast has a stringent "killing civilians is bad" stance. Did you kill civilians? You're the bad guy! So is the other guy! Sometimes two sides are both run by assholes!

Thank you @allkins.bsky.social for coming up with the idea for the new channel name. (Okay, we changed one word... but without you, we wouldn't have a title!). Our new digs are here if you'd like to subscribe: www.youtube.com/@QUpTheMovie First episode will premiere on March 10th!

a double heavy tread when mornings bring an aversion to morning or to returning to ‘thought’ or is it ‘affect’ where’s the brio of Catullus the serenity of Horace the ferocity of Baraka the electricity of Plath From ‘Daybook’, a poem by Maureen N. McLane. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Also I love drama and petty bullshit

The Riyadh Comedy Festival is old news especially with the US attacking Iran but also this is the US doing dirty work for other shit countries so no one looks good. Gee, just like everyone who did that comedy festival

The one thing that spiritually kills you as an American is nothing ever resolves. No lessons are ever learned. Mistakes are never corrected. We just stay strapped on this insane and out of control karmic wheel, watching our history of violence, cruelty and stupidity loop around and around.

people need to stop saying we’re “beginning” to enter a fascist state or we’re “heading toward” genocide some states are at stage 8—persecution—of trans people, i.e. destruction, via removing trans people from public life www.genocidewatch.com/tenstages this requires declaring genocide emergency

Comedians who did the Riyadh festival: get us on your podcast! It will be awful but you might get back some street cred!

What a Revolution, huh? Lemon, it's February

'My Wife's Lovers', 1893 painting by Carl Kahler (1856–1906).

thinking of this young person I met nearly five years ago at the Texas state Capitol—when activists defeated a raft of anti-trans laws introduced that year—and this sign they made:

Hi! Here’s my painting of an alpine meadow titled “Symbiosis” Crafted after observing a favorite meadow in the MHNF in OR. for a couple of seasons. Most of my pieces are a well researched labor of love. Because of AuDHD, I have to be REALLY compelled to follow through! #artsky #animalart #frogart

For an art show grounded in the abstract world of critical theory, “Echo Delay Reverb” is remarkably inviting. Though it includes blockbuster works, the real revelations come from some of the less widely known artists and Caribbean thinkers.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

I don't even have a dog in this fight but goddamn I feel like I'm losing my marbles seeing people repeat that Mahdi means a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad rather than synecdoche for different Islamic messianic movements. And it's Trek fans saying it! Get better!

Gonna start an account titled "I suggest abortion." You'll never guess what I will be suggesting there

Shit's bad but thankfully we live in a time with so many tasty vegetables and ways to make the vegetables more tasty

please be the annoying person calling your reps so I can be the annoying person making weird art online
