Republicans pretended to be outraged at Zohran Mamdani being elected mayor of New York a mere quarter century after 9/11. I wonder if they’ll be similarly scandalized by this.

Oh la la www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Babe wake up shitty new Black Mirror episode just dropped

The Border Patrol goons made sure to taunt the residents of a neighborhood they tear-gassed over the weekend. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Today I join the venerable magazine ARTnews, established in 1902, as an art market reporter. I’ll be working with Sarah Douglas and her great team to bring you the news of the art world, with a focus on the multibillion-dollar global art market.

A very clear explanation of why the @nytimes.com reporting is so damaging (and why so many of us are compelled to speak back at this insidious platform.) lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Yes!!

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

I gave. Will you?

Anyone else headed to the Lynn Hershman Leeson lecture at the Whitney™️ tonight?

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Fuck Cuomo and Adams to hell and back

Hilarious: the morning after Mamdani’s victory, the Daily opens with an ad that asks, “Thinking about a move to the suburbs?”

Barnett Newman is alive and well and voted in New York City today! Newman, ca. 1969 and 11/04/2025!

An incredible night was had last night at Stella Ishii’s studio, with her clothing, adapted by artists from Creative Growth Art Center, featured on the runway. A very stirring event. The artnet story: news.artnet.com/art-world/cr...

OH, NEW JERSERY REPURBLICANS.

Fascinating story here, kind of a win-win-win-win. news.artnet.com/art-world/ta...

Wait, so you are telling me that @pepperdine.bsky.social censored an artwork *about censorship* in fear they would look like they were endorsing the artist's position? Must make teaching challenging, if you can't talk about any objectionable views. news.artnet.com/art-world/pe...

HULK LOOK FORWARD TO YORGOS LANTHIMOS’ #BUGONIA BUT HULK QUESTION TAGLINE. HULK ASSUME CHARACTERS OBSESSED WITH CONSPIRACY *THEORIES*.

Same, apparently, for Grokipedia’s entry on my namesake, hockey player Brian Boucher: I read partway through and it is word for word the same as Wikipedia’s.

Casa Nostra Mojo Dojo House

Just hearing a clip from Kash Patel’s NBA press conference, where he clearly says it has to do with “la casa nostra”

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Just in time for the artist’s hundredth birthday, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is selling the storied Florida compound where he lived and which has served as the site of a long-running residency program. news.artnet.com/art-world/ra...

I went to the new Kelly Reichardt movie, about an art museum heist, and wrote about it for artnet. news.artnet.com/art-world/ke...

The world is coming apart, but I enjoyed visiting the new Princeton University Art Museum, where a collection (kinda) predating the U.S. gets a dazzling new home, designed by David Adjaye (I know, I know). Check it aus! news.artnet.com/art-world/pr...

“What a travesty,” said Bennett L. Gershman, an ethics professor at Pace University. “The ethical conflict is just so basic and fundamental, you don’t need a law professor to explain it.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

EVEN IN WRITING, ANDREW CUOMO REFUSES TO CORRECTLY SPELL NAME OF NEXT NEW YORK MAYOR, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. SO OFFENSIVE.

Might just put myself on a plane to Los Angeles to see this exciting show. news.artnet.com/art-world/co...

The only thing worse is the horrible “newscaster tense” that TV anchors have adopted, e.g., “Donald Trump threatening to send troops into more American cities.” Really? Trump threatening that? How Democrats responding? Would it slow them down *so much* to use the word “is”? It’s one syllable, FFS!

This is hateful but what I also *cannot stand* is this “Halligan this week continued” nonsense. Did this terrible syntax when become acceptable? I today hate it, and I tomorrow will hate it, @msnbc.com!

This had better be a promise. I do not want to hear any of that “We must look to the future, not the past” bullshit that we’ve gotten from Democrats in the past.

I was pleased to write a wee bit about Hew Locke's show at the Yale Center for British Art. news.artnet.com/art-world/he...

Reminds me of the scene in Woody Allen's "Everyone Says I Love You," where the neocon black sheep in the family has a fainting spell and the doctor is like "He hasn't been getting enough oxygen to his brain, so if you've noticed any strange behavior lately..."

Please explain again how we are hysterical for comparing these Hitler lovers to Nazis.

Is it true that there's too much "doom porn" in art market reporting, or are such claims the equivalent of shouting "fake news" at reporters? For artnet Pro subscribers, editor Naomi Rea weighs in. (Yes, it's paywalled. Some products cost money!) news.artnet.com/art-world/wh...

Doug Wilson co-authored a (plagiarized) book that defended the institution of slavery *as it was practiced in the antebellum South*. This is how Douthat introduced the subject while providing him with the NYT's platform:

Since it seems to be coming up a lot, I went back to dig up some details from the 1937 "Degenerate Art Show" to see what the lessons are news.artnet.com/art-world/de...

REMEMBER: A BUSINESS DOES NOT “SHUTTER ITS DOORS,” JUST AS YOU WOULD NOT PUT SHUTTERS ON TOP OF DOORS. IT CLOSES ITS DOORS OR IT SHUTTERS. PICK ONE.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.
