I hope Ken Burns is making a documentary about the final weeks of the people and creative energy and goodness in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The death of Dr. Jason Arday & crises of Mychal Threets highlight the unacknowledged detriments of fame for Black & brown folks.
Both endured immense scrutiny while having some public & private support.
Please consider the challenges of Black/Indigenous folks that have neither.

It is amazing to think of the poetry and music that has come out of Ireland, from Yeats to Heaney, and from The Dubliners to U2 to Sinéad O'Connor to Shane MacGowan to Glen Hansard. Truly an island of haunting and beautiful voices.

Bad news. Yesterday, a golden Celtic torque was stolen from Musée du Pays Châtillonnais, France. I know this museum well: in 1973, thieves stole a Roman Bacchus statue there, which I managed to recover in 2022. Now it happened again. The hunt is on.

Since Harry Potter is in the news, this is a good excuse to repost one of my favorite Mark McGurl essays. Hogwarts is a technical school. No pondering the meaning of life here!

Losing an hour of time/sleep on International Women's Day feels like the most on brand thing this world has to offer.

So let me get this right.
The US can find and kill a leader of a foreign country halfway around the world.
But they can't find any of the paedophiles and child traffickers from the Epstein list and arrest any of them in their own country?

John Oliver did a brutal exposé of how Elon Musk destroyed Twitter and turned X into a cesspool of right-wing misinformation.
Oliver hasn't posted in over a year: "I will be going back there tomorrow to post a link to this piece before going silent again."
Worth a watch.

It's about to explode y'all. Donald J. Trump, the sitting president of the United States, is a motherfucking pedophile — and it's being purposely covered up by AG Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Department of Justice. 😳👇

I cannot believe that it’s America’s 250th and we’re again fighting against taxation without representation from a (wannabe) King. We’ve really come full circle, haven’t we?

Topol: The same thing occurs with all these wellness influencers—the latest being Peter Attia. There are hundreds and hundreds of these so-called longevity hackers. One cardinal rule I have is this: if somebody is selling something, they have no credibility. Zero.

The United States will go down in history as the nation that imprisoned more of its own people than anywhere else on Earth but could not summon the courage to put one rich white man in prison, even to save itself as a nation or to preserve its position in the world.

Scientists recently placed a 10-piece set of matching Tupperware in a sealed chamber.
When they opened it a month later, the chamber had 24 lids that did not match any of the 6 remaining containers.

Not George W. Bush. Not the vast majority of Republicans in Congress. Not the Generals. Not conservatism Inc. Not the big law firms. Not the tech oligarchs. Not the media conglomerates who need their mergers.
Jerome Powell. A man who refuses to be intimidated.
