Here are some photos I took in Pyrohiv open air museum in Kyiv this spring. Still can’t wrap my head around just how much work it required to put it all together. When the building is transported to the museum, it’s disassembled, every element is labelled and then put back together in the new place

“A ribbon tied around a bomb” was the description of Frida Kahlo by Surrealist theorist André Breton.....

Marjane Satrapi, whose acclaimed graphic novel and animated adaptation 'Persepolis' brought the realities of revolution, exile, and identity to audiences around the world, has died at 56. www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/marjane-satrapi-persepolis-creator-co-director-dies-at-56-262120.html

Also, can he be investigated for his sweaty moobs? Those are a crime. I'm pretty sure they violate obscenity laws in all 50 states. Definitely up here. Also, his support for NAMBLA is really gross. I used some alt-text on this for once, because it really needed narration.

Technically, Romana the Runt of Insignificant or Imaginary Achievements would be more accurate, since her achievements cannot even be considered small!

Today in 1989 in Beijing (June 5 local time)—one day after Chinese soldiers massacred an estimated 400 to 2,600 peaceful pro-democracy protestors in and around Tiananmen Square—a lone man bravely and repeatedly briefly stopped a column of tanks and APCs from retreating from the scene of the crime.

If you have HBO Max, there’s a new documentary, Bring Me the Beauties, about a cult led by a man who claimed to be an Arcturian. It’s quite enjoyable and if I didn’t have things to do, I’d watch it all in one sitting. There’s parallels to Romana and it once again highlights how much she stole.

Just your regular reminder that Russia is attacking everything and everyone in Ukraine

In a telling demonstration of the thought and care that went into this decision, both NSF spokespeople who responded to my emailed questions with the same prepared word salad misprinted the organization’s name as Woods Hole Oceanographic “Institute.” My latest @thebulletin.org:

RIP Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)

We are in a state of poly-crisis in America. At its center is the Supreme Court of the United States. As a litigator and civil rights leader, I do not say this lightly or without evidence. See Trump v. United States, granting near absolute presidential immunity, for starters. 1/

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

A shocked city reckons with guilty verdict of Spokane 3. Activists, community members, officials and onlookers were horrified about the First Amendment implications of the convictions. But they vowed to keep fighting:

An essential thread from @moryan.bsky.social about what's happening at CBS News. Anyone who's seen The Insider knows more about investigative journalism than Weiss or Bilton

🧐 Scott Pelley warned us last year: “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack. ..The fear to speak in America.” @marcofoster.bsky.social

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

They have an exhausting schedule so rehash for a week gives them time to recover 🤣. They should all spend this week looking for employment.

This is from my visit to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago back in 2024. They had a display of props and vehicles from the James Bond film series. This is the Q Boat used by Pierce Brosnan in the opening scene of The World Is Not Enough in 1999 for a chase scene on the Thames River.

The drop in support for marriage equality last year was not a blip, it has declined further, dropping 6 points from its high of 71. Whether or not gay or lesbian relations were "morally acceptable" dropped 9 points. Support for LGBTQ rights broadly is diminishing. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

This morning in 1980 at 2:26 A.M. EDT, warning displays at the Strategic Air Command suddenly indicated a Soviet SLBM attack on the United States was underway, first showing 2 and then, 18 seconds later, 200 inbound ballistic missiles. SAC ordered all alert bomber crews to start their engines.
