RIP Gene Hackman. This scene always felt cathartic to watch. Something about squeezing a racist’s balls.

A favorite artist Arooj Aftab. Lovely minute @activecultures.bsky.social And she is coming back to Chicago this year❤
Speaking of @aleyakassam.bsky.social - we made plans a few years ago to meet in person for the first time and see Arooj Aftab.
Finally tonight, Abu Dhabi and Nairobi connected in Dubai. And it was a sublime show.

I don't think this is their only motivation, but it certainly may factor into it.
I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

It’s actually more stupid and more dangerous. Elon wants to break democracy, the dollar, and take control all in one swoop and so far he’s succeeding. I never understood why Elon suddenly glommed onto T but it makes sense when you read this. (NYT fluff piece on Yarvin too)

This has been my most ambitious piece of writing so far. It's long. And I will be working on a much shorter version for a wider audience. But I also don't want to lose sight of the deep truths lurking around us. So, here is The Plot Against America. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

Considering how many of these fascists could get swapped in for Drake where that “a minoooooor” line is concerned, maybe we should start blasting Not Like Us everywhere they show up.
"Kendrick gave us what we needed. He was defiant, proud, vindictive, playful & celebratory. He was pro-Black & subversive, trolling & joyful, and through all the expectations and fighting and nastiness, he was ultimately victorious" - @daviddennisjr.bsky.social on Kendrick's #SuperBowl performance
The subversive genius of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance

Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance is why funding arts and humanities matters. We have Kendrick because his teacher introduced him to poetry and writing.

Vance now joining Musk in calling for the return of racist DOGE/Treasury employee Marko Elez. Vance also joins Musk in directing harassment at the reporter who broke the story. No one denies any facts in the reporting, they're just trying to intimidate the press out of doing any critical reporting

What a blow: Trump takes over Kennedy Center. Highly doubt many foreign touring artists will be booked which effects all of us. Fox News displayed this picture of the "show" What was it? Looks familiar to me...however I'm stumped. I would immediately share any videos of it.

Trump is taking over the Kennedy Center board, appointing himself as chair. No president has ever done this. The last time the arts were forced to align with government messaging? WWII Germany. This is a power grab, not culture. Speak out. #HandsOffTheArts
