Attn: Artworld: wouldn’t it be cool if some of these Bob Ross paintings broke a few auction records? Their new meaning is “the future of public broadcasting under fascism.” Isn’t that idea worth a Warhol, Johns, or Basquiat? Museums: strategic acquisitions funds for this???? @cmonstah.bsky.social
So, there's this law called the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 (Public Law 116-1). It guarantees backpay for furloughed fed workers in the event of a shutdown. Passing it was part of the deal that ended the 35-day shutdown in 2019. Who was the president who signed this into law?
The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.
The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Still, I often get "Fümms bö wö tää zää Uu" stuck in my head for long periods of time. #scoresproject#musicology#experimentalnotation#arthistory#dada#neodada#merz#schwitters#academicsky#archivesky#booksky
Thinking about Schwitters's "Ursonate" today. For a good chunk of its gestation, the #scoresproject was going to have full chapters on two Dada precursors, "Ursonate" and "Karawane," but we narrowed the scope and now they only appear in introduction figs. 0.5, 0.6.
This is a topic where I think Jonathan Israel’s “radical enlightenment” thesis is really useful. The idea of rights as genuinely universal, to the point where I as an individual can’t be truly free while others aren’t—you can’t get there if you’re only taught that founders read Locke.
"The author calls Tudor’s performance an indeterminate 'thing,' and compares experimental notation to a tradition of formalized diagraming that is more familiar but equally complex—a football playbook." #scoresproject#academicsky#DH#notation#musicology#johncage
