RIP Drew Struzan
A master.

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

RIP Michael Eugene Archer aka D'ANGELO. 🕊️

Whaaaaa cancer got D’Angelo? that’s just incredibly sad! #RIP

JD Vance indicates to NBC that Trump isn't opposed to invoking the Insurrection Act.

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

Yes — the 70mm screenings of "One Battle After Another" at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social run through next Tuesday. The movie will continue there after that, but in a digital version.

I can’t get over how beyond despicable it is to detain street vendors, people that keep our streets vibrant and safer because of their presence. Street vendors are some of the most vulnerable and visible yet we are being told their detainment is to keep us safe. Ridiculous.

Too much Henny from Decision 2 I guess?

So excited for these cats’ groundbreaking French EDM album

Trump has been calling for his political opponents to be jailed from the beginning of his electoral career, dating to Hillary Clinton

I think for marathon weekend it should just be a 26 mile race around the inside of Allstate Arena (yes out in the burbs), because if it's good enough for our monster trucks, it's good enough for our runners.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
