Big Deal: Art Activists Shepard Fairey and Gregg Deal Will Discuss What it Takes to Have a Powerful Voice "You first have to have your eyes open enough to diagnose the problem, speak out about it and then try to find the solution."

Check Out this fantastic opportunity to hear artists Gregg Deal and Shepard Fairey speak in Denver. Gregg is always an insightful speaker, how cool to have the two in conversation.

On rare occasions I get to feel slightly smarter (maybe more informed) than Hank Green. I'm sure tomorrow I'll return to the status quo.

Catchier sounding than the Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. Airport

What the article falls to mention is that they have soft wood, leaf out early, and drop late. Making them perfect victims for late and early snowfalls.

This selection of photos will never do these paintings justice, so I hope you come to the Denver Art Museum to see the new exhibition Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors (April 20 - Aug 17) or later to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Sept 27 - March 1) 2/3

Kent Monkman’s work does something special. When spending time with it you find it subverting convention or engaging with unacknowledged truths in a way that is revelatory. The work seduces you with beauty and humor to reframe what you thought you knew about history, art, and indigenous people. 1/3

We know that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was wrongly removed from this country. But don't forget that 230+ other people were disappeared to El Salvador without due process. Do any of these men deserve such a harsh fate? Now the administration is considering the same for citizens.

Democratic elected officials, please don't treat yesterday like a victory lap, but rather a call to action.

Dropout is one of the best subscriptions I have. I'm truly surprised by how few people I know that are watching this brilliance. Jump on it by May 7 to lock in the lower price.

I have tariffed
the penguins

forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

I saw one in the wild recently and it struck me how much better proportioned it is than the regular crown. It's a handsome car.

Das ist ziemlich gut Käse. Aber ich habe guter Käse gesehen.

Watching today's Type Ashton video, it's frustrating to realize that DEN's goal of expanding Peña Blvd rather than transit may have to do more with parking $ than what's good for the city/travelers. I'm not sure precise numbers for DEN, but on average ~30% of US airport revenue comes from parking.

Progress is possible, progress is happening, we just have to keep going.

Er ist ganz blöd. Die Realität ist mehr komplex als eine einzige Sprache.

Letzte Woche hat meine Lehrerin zum Unterricht Berliners gebracht. Sie sind sehr lecker.

As job cuts for Colorado's federal workers roll across the state, some share their stories As DOGE and the Trump administration upend agencies, U.S. employees struggle with job security and making plans for the summer

Although the jobs are wide-ranging, there is a common thread in what the state’s federal workers are feeling: chaos.

Hank, have you considered a spin-off program "Polysci Show"?

I've had friends talk about my 1 mile ride to work like it's something so dangerous they'd never consider it. That's a problem if that's the perception.

Also, names of scandals that end in -gate. Can we at least alternate with -pot dome?

I've done that, but only because I was in the charging desert that is/was much of South Dakota.

Photograph of a warehouse in Kinshasa where unboxed tuberculosis medications are going undistributed due to the stop work order by the Trump Administration.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

wuh?

“Trump is ruling like a king because he's too weak to lead like a president"

Don't admit he has power, don't allow him power, and he'll lose most of that power.

They are allowed to be giants

Over the weekend I saw the poignant and funny play "The Reservoir" at @denvercenter.bsky.social. I highly recommend it for all of you in the Denver metro; it runs until early March. #theater #dcpa

But most will just call it Golfo de las Américas.

It weirdly feels like yesterday and so long ago simultaneously.
