Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, by Umberto Boccioni, 1913, (cast 1931 or 1934), 📸 by Wang Zhao

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

He also told me a cute story about "Reservation Dogs" creator Sterlin Harjo ❤️. I LOVE DARK WINDS AND ZAHN!

Sally Wainwright’s decade-plus heater continues with Riot Women, about channeling all the rage & restlessness of menopause into a middle aged Riot Grrrl revival. It’s great! You can binge-watch it all on BritBox! My latest, for @tellyvisions.bsky.social: telly-visions.ghost.io/4-sally-wain...

Starting his own personal Mütter Museum — that’s some peak Philly lemons into lemonade stuff

(Depeche Mode Voice): REACH OUT AND TOUCH GRASS!

it's weird to see people complain about Bad Bunny's performance being in Spanish when there have been entire operas in Italian, German and French performed in the US and the top song of the last two years, K-Pop Demon Hunters' "Golden" has lyrics in Korean

Whooooomst could possibly have predicted???

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

oh my God, who was going to tell me that Strong Poison was published in 1930 which means this #PublicDomainDay marks the public domain debut of my favorite character in all of literature, my queen, my angel, Harriet Vane? oh my God I'm going to cry oh my GOD who's going to make the new TV series?

*Lin-Manuel Miranda voice* that's true!!

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

Racism is not a mental health condition or a cognitive issue, it is simply racism. Implying that it is a form of pathology is a great distancing tactic to avoid engaging with your own role in it!

I got halfway through thinking "surely most modern fonts weren't either" before I realized I needed to put my glasses on.

It’s done.

Everything is still incredibly shit so this time it‘s academia as #Shrinking gifs:

🔴 Three things you should know about the arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort (hint: this never ends well for the government). 1. They were just doing their job. 2. The government keeps losing these cases. 3. We must call out attacks on journalists of color. Watch @adamrose.bsky.social explain:

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

Seems like the exact wrong time to look for ways to compromise with Republicans and exactly the right time to go for the jugular and secure the thousand year woke dynasty

It's once again time for our monthly rundown of everything British coming to PBS in February 2026, including a couple of surprise fan-favorites.

is the cure for male loneliness showing up early and setting up chairs?

I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

The thing about this kind of mass sincerity and earnestness on the part of all these brave people hitting the streets in Minnesota and everywhere else is that it's going to make disingenuous lizards like Newsom look unfit for the times. Heaven help us if the party doesn't match this energy.

The pain and the outrage is correct and just and I'm glad everyone can see and understand it here, and this is also already what BLM was, if you argued for training, police reform or body cams instead of abolition this is what you sounded like, this is why people were so mad at you

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

I had a great little chat with Vic Michaelis & Nicholas Podany from Ponies this week. Go behind the scenes with the show’s secret weapons! twobossydames.substack.com/p/ponies-is-...

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Here is the newly-unsealed State Department memo confirming -- finally -- that the detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was based on an op-ed. No antisemitic activity. No support of terrorism. An op-ed in a student newspaper. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

Need that hat

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

seems relatively simple to say and understand ... bsky.app/profile/atru...

TYRESE MAXEY IS AN ALL-STAR STARTER!!!!

PSA: If Bill Kristol can say this dems should be able to say it

this movie is by the absolute genius who made We Are Lady Parts, an actually perfect television program.

i find it very cool that two of the greatest movie soundtrack songs of all time - We Don't Need Another Hero and Goldeneye - are Tina Turner tracks. legend

the bookseller impulse to document early 20th century cloth hardcover design

I feel like every woman participating in this is trying not to lose their minds

I know I have the right child & the right friends bc of how many of them have already texted me about this. We are all screaming crying throwing up (in a cool way) www.instagram.com/p/DTifcA4j7a...

I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

I had so much fun recapping Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials for @vulture.com & am pleased to recommend it as a zippy, pluckiness-rich way to spend a few hours this weekend www.vulture.com/article/agat...

There are people in Minnesota who are violating the law, and it's the people who are flash-banging babies, shooting people who pose no threat, and deploying tear gas against peaceful crowds. The way to end the violence in Minnesota is for ICE to stop committing violence against Minnesotans.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

once again shoutout to every dipshit who insisted it was hysterical to talk about trump and white supremacy in the same breath www.rawstory.com/trump-267487...

Would love to see @norcross.house.gov in this thread

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

The Pitt is incredible as proof you can be very middlebrow and very engaging at the same time. So much prestige TV relies on like novelistic subtext or tons of mythology and lore but The Pitt is just like No. You will watch this hot doctor competency porn and you will love it so much
