Biden’s good days don’t sound good. Stop kidding yourself.

Nothing like lining up to get into a restaurant at 9am

Thinking about writing something about anti-SWANA racism in the art community. People love to pretend it doesn’t exist.

I said STOP THE CAR

Just heard someone who works for 7/11 call the fridges a “cold vault.” Um, ok.

July 24 in DC is going to be big.

A beautiful day for a walk in Brooklyn

Say what you will about the UK, but the quick transition of power and the lack of election denial are refreshing to see.

good morning my community, A word of advice. You may be struggling with your feelings of shock with the Neil Gaiman allegations. Now is the time to process that conflict silently, in your own heart—not on the timeline where other survivors have to watch you struggle to believe. Okay.

Like this shit isn’t what we “need to hear.” It’s doing a he said she said on the abetting of open fascism and the weaponization of our government by a criminal while saying those fears are just claims that liberals made.

The New York Times cultivated a liberal audience and now spends its time laundering its own shitty institutional prerogatives through an idea of “telling them hard truths they need to hear.”

This 1982 studio painting by Jane Freilicher is on display at Tibor de Nagy and you can see the Hudson River and New Jersey in the distance. Her studio was on Fifth Avenue.

The classism is unhinged in the art community.
