The Washington Post with a story about how remaking an institution to appeal to the pro-Trump right doesn't help the bottom line.
EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic.

FYI for those who don't know: NBA players have in their contract that the players (ie LABOR) gets 50% of all basketball related income. WNBA players get ~9%.
The WNBA All-Stars came out wearing warmup shirts that said, "Pay Us What You Owe Us."
The players' union met with the WNBA Thursday and came away frustrated with the economic model proposed by the league.

Culture at large is in such a precarious position, as the large platforms are increasingly at the mercy of the heads of the 4 or whatever CEOs who own everything and will bend whatever knee they can to power in order to protect their bottom line.

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.

Trump’s attempts to dehumanize large segments of the American people in order to use military force against them fits the classic definition of “tyranny,” and right wing rhetoric using the phrase “third world” to justify it is no accident (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
