Aren’t they though? I could live in them.

Oh damn. Didn’t know this. Yeah, he’s basically masking his actual values under a fey artsy brand.

I’m surprised it was the anti-ballet/opera comment that got him and not his “fall of western values” bullshit he was saying about KPop Demon Hunter.

That boy has a conservative heel turn in his near future. I just feel it.

Yes. It’s not abt whether I like opera or ballet. What Chalamet said
is no different than what we hear all the time: creative expression has little value outside of mass appeal & commercial success. He doesn’t want to baldly state “I want $$& & attention” so danced around capitalist logic.

Not only does it have historical precedent, it has precedent *in the United States* as the obsession of the Slave Power led to a first national suicide by secession and a second postwar suicide by collapsing Reconstruction, leaving the country much weaker than it could have been for a century.

small consolation, but you make it look
sooooooo much better.

How dare he wear exactly the same outfit I wear nearly every day to cancel my NEH!!!! I’m so mad!!!!

There is a ~lot~ of wealthaganda being pumped out by Hollywood right now where the stories provide zero consequences for vile actions and I think some audiences find that dissatisfying. Or superhero stories and copaganda, where the message is: Only those with extra-legal powers can be “heroes”

These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.

Being a teacher and public communicator is not the same thing as being everyone's teacher and responsible for communicating all the things to all the people in all the ways all the time.

In a few years’ time, I’d write and sing songs like ‘It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding),’ ‘Mr. Tambourine Man,‘ ‘Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,‘ ’Who Killed Davey Moore,‘ ’Only a Pawn in Their Game,‘ ’A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall‘ and some others like that. If I hadn’t gone to the Theatre de Lys and heard the ballad ‘Pirate Jenny’ it might not have dawned on me to write them, that songs like these could be written Bob Dylan -‘Chronicles’

FACT: The singer-songwriter portrayed by Timothée Chalamet in "A Complete Unknown" credited his own songwriting breakthrough to an experience he had at the opera. #rockfacts

Doggone it, forgot the photo

I was sometimes accused of being “fresh” so maybe I’m halfway there! 😂

In the vein of “lighten up your feed,” I have a looming problem of having bought a “Hello Alice” panel at #QuiltCon even though I know companies always sleep on Through the Looking Glass. Can I throw the Red Queen in there? #Quilting #Quiltsky

Protests and other actions are beginning to pop up when communities find out about new ICE detention centers. These centers will only get more widespread as ICE continues to attempt buy warehouse, but the fascists have another thing coming if they think resistance won’t spread with it!

🚨 FOLLOW THE MONEY

ICE and DHS are buying up warehouses across the country and turning them into detention centers.

And somehow taxpayers keep paying top dollar for empty buildings.

So… who’s getting rich? 💰

These are not things that happen at camps which are not designed to kill the people they incarcerate. ICE centers are concentration camps.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to...

This dystopian future is here now.

"Emily, who NPR is only identifying by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government, says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot.

The Edge of Space-Time: PREORDER + COVER REVEAL! Coming 4/7/2026: The universe, reimagined!

Who is it for?

Literally everyone. For everyone who felt physics wasn’t for them. For the math anxious. For people who see whole universes in Langston Hughes poems. For the non-binary kids who didn’t know the neutrino was kinda like them. 🧪

Hello! One month from today I’m releasing my new book about our majestic universe, which thinks with poetry, quantum physics, relativity, Zhou kingdom philosophy, galaxies, particles, Akan aphorisms, Black feminism, Star Trek, Alice in Wonderland. AND it’s for all readers. 📚💙

The Black aide problem is a good way of putting it. I regularly wonder about who is on staff for these politicians. Those who not just have staff, but Black ppl among the brain trust have a different vibe about not just how they act, but what they say and what they focus on.

You know what’s wild though? A lot of the current crop of politicians (Vance, Hawley, etc) seem uncomfortable around people, periodt.

My then-pregnant
SIL met Clinton on campaign trail. He asked about when she was due & remembered my Mom🤯. When niece was born she got a welcome to the world letter on WH stationary. He didn’t need a Black aide & had A+ staffing. Lots neg to say, but that man could campaign.

Pedocon theory remains undefeated

When evil meets ignorance and functional illiteracy, this is what happens.

Functional illiteracy has been being baked into the US for a few decades. I talked about this in a webinar last month.

The ones who can enter Black-majority spaces on their own terms, without having their hands held or their space guarded by the Black person they’ve hired for that purpose…they don’t need help courting Black voters. The Clintons had it (esp. Hillary); Biden had it; Mamdani has it.

Oh! me either. I just count myself lucky to have stunning undergraduates

What I can say definitively, even without having seen him in person, is that Gavin Newsom does not have it. He’s about as authentic as a Louis Vuitton from Canal Street
