What schmucks.
A budget is a moral document.

The President just gave himself a big round of applause for 2 hours. He doesn’t deserve a round of applause, he deserves to be fired.
Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread.

My excellent and smarter colleague Kyle Sandler and I said a few words about the Shakers, thanks to the kind folks at New Hampshire Public Radio!

She deserved to live a long and full life. We will not stop fighting for the end of ICE and femicide!

Congratulations to @MTAArtsDesign on the amazing accomplishment of 40 years of fantastic art work in our subway system!!! #publicart It’s all kind of miraculous.
It's addictive! I want to see it again. It's also fun to try to identify the movies.
I've visited twice now, and I'm pretty sure I could watch Christian Marclay Doors @brooklynmuseum.org all day. If leaving my job at 53 feels like "hell in a hallway" (HT Augusta Palmer), Doors keeps busting through with promise. www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

How is it that college administrators get paid high salaries to come up with such dumb ideas, over & over again...? Is there someone who will pay me for dumb ideas? If you really want I can come up with plenty (and even some good ones as well) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/n...
