Operational Excellence, Strategic Incompetence
The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.
“The Americans could find themselves retreating to the strategic incoherence that has characterized the administration’s approach…military prowess cannot clarify America’s war aims. As the old saying warns: If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Iranian drone/missile impact moments ago at Dubai International Airport.
Smoke can be seen rising over the airfield. Also getting reports from local sources smoke and explosions.

It's also playing midnight Saturday at the Music Box. I've seen a midnight screening of it there, and that was quite an experience.

The alien puppet from Asteroid City, an impossibly gangly gray-green creature with big round eyes.
Two of the vending machines form Asteroid City, designed to look as if they’re from midcentury. One is pink and vends stockings, one is green and vends martinis.
The canoe from Moonrise Kingdown, a wooden canoe with simple paintings of water and a buffalo on its side and a rough carving of a raccoon on the prow.
A rubber model of a strange-looking purple fish from The Life Aquatic.
OMG, the Wes Anderson exhibition. At the Design Museum is wonderful.

Photo of band performing. From left to right: Steve Brantseg, Robert Wilkinson, and Joseph Pettini. Performance at the Schooner March 4, 2026.
Last night Robert Wilkinson told a story at the Schooner about going into Oarfolk in 1977 and Peter Jesperson gave him a taped copy of David Bowie’s new single “Heroes.” A week later, Robert had his band Flamingo covering Heroes, and Robert has been playing the song ever since, including last night.

South siders Lost Legion make oi! for everyday people fighting back against the feds - Chicago Reader
South-side duo Lost Legion prefer simple, direct communication—at least judging from their unrestrained oi! punk.
I wrote about Lost Legion, who aren’t playing a record release show but a gathering of likeminded punks eager to be more involved in community organizing around jail support and ICE observation

Morris’s Cray pattern textile (1884), which features sinuous plant stems inspired by tributaries of the Thames, and red and pink flowers against a background of green leaves.
Good morning, friends, from London, where my first stop was the William Morris Society in Hammersmith!
