Bread &  Puppet's Cheap Art Manifesto

Text reads: 

the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto

PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEUMS & the RICH. ART IS NOT BUSINESS!

It does not belong to banks & fancy investors ART IS FOOD. You cant EAT it BUT it FEEDS you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE because it is the INSIDE of the WORLD.

ART SOOTHES PAIN: Art wakes up sleepers !

ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR & STUPIDITY I

ART SINGS HALLELUJA! ART IS FOR KITCHENS ! ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!

Art is like green trees! Art is like white clouds in blue sky!

ART IS CHEAP!

HURRAH

Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont, 1984

I'm certain it's in the ep but any opportunity to post the cheap art manifesto I will take it. Been on my fridge for years because I'll see it every day.

the thing about mary oliver is that her simplicity is repellant to people who are uncomfortable with themselves.

she's right, don't hesitate when you find joy

The whole conversation about the correct way to protest is moot because even a completely non-violent protest is going to get ginned up into a war zone by AI image generation and the post-truth part of the right wing media machine. I cannot stress how little optics matter in the current environment.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

It’s kind of crazy how good a title Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit is. Maybe we peaked as a culture in 1993.

I think the most credible argument for against AI is that it seems to short circuit critical thinking in the large majority of people that use it.

An online review of a local clown says: β€œNot what I had hoped for
Disappointed. We agreed he would bring balloons for $20.
He showed up with 3 or 4 saying one got away from him.
Spent time playing a video game. Walked on the bowling alley - and fell down (needed to have the bowling alley shoes). Clothing seemed unkept. Clown face makeup was
scant.”

The Clown Paradox: the more negative the online review of a clown is, the funnier the clown sounds

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks:

1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1

Fun Fact: A 2% tax on the top 5 wealthiest billionaires would generate more revenue than the entire yearly budget of USAID.

I think I found the efficiencies DOGE was looking for.
