Stop fighting, all pizza is good!

No

I can’t say it enough: U.S. culture is scam culture. It pervades everything we do. We don’t notice it because it’s the water we swim in. A party would do well to remind everybody how awful this is and propose to fix it.

Maron is shutting down WTF in September, there’s still time for @bomani-jones.bsky.social to get on there @marcmaron.bsky.social

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

Hard Choices: Should You Take Up Running Now That Gallerists Are Doing It? Take an interactive quiz to see if you should start jogging now that it's trendier and au courant.

7. How do you hydrate post-run?

a) Guzzle Gatorade
b) Sip a gin martini
c) Chug the blood and/or urine of a shredded young art handler

The obvious answer is (b)

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

Review: Nanako Kono's "Doublespeak" at Western Exhibitions There's a difference between playful and experimental—one’s a hunch, one’s a hypothesis. Nanako Kono is the latter.

Review: "Folk Methods with Spatial Problems" at Western Exhibitions Without the social and the collegiate and the participative, craft is devoid of meaning. You can’t outsource the process.

Come to a farmers market in the Midwest, you coward!

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
