I had, as it turns out, a voluminous quantity of words to say about the National Endowment for the Arts demanding fealty to Trump in their new grant guidelines

(with side tangents into Robert Mapplethorpe, the Eight of Swords in tarot, compliance and resistance, and why budgets are moral documents)

Do Not Obey In Advance: A Moral Crisis in Arts Funding

February energy is the NEA falling apart, a story about my mother, and learning to tell the difference between being trapped and just being scared.

This is fascinating… T-rump really is/was the perfect mark for the KGB.

Now coming to full fruition with current Ukraine carve up.

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow

In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

The Murdochs’ courtroom battle for control of their media empire has unfolded almost entirely in secret. But 3,000 pages of the trial record obtained by The New York Times reveal bitterness and betrayal that not even writers of “Succession” could conjure.

Inside the Murdochs’ Succession Drama

More than 3,000 pages of documents reveal how years of betrayals led to a messy court battle that threatens the future of Rupert’s empire.

Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia will tomorrow permanently disconnect from Russia’s power grid.

Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail.

This is a victory for freedom and European unity.

In a week with full of brutal work news, I’m stupidly happy to say that soon you will be able to see Flächenbrand (English: Wildfire Road) at another German theatre! Thank you for adopting my hijacking time-travelling demon baby, Germany.
