@audacityofdespair.bsky.social I'm sure you hear this all the time, but I'm finally watching The Wire and absolutely loving it! Just finished S2 and can't wait to see what's next.

This gallery of ICE crop/seed art at this year's Minnesota State Fair is incredible, especially the one based on Pablo Picasso's Guernica by Jennifer Nelson, which features the last words of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Morse code: www.cropart.com/Resist.pdf

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Angela Lansbury, forecasting the lasting and widespread appeal of Murder, She Wrote in the NY Times five months before the pilot even aired:

The show is designed to be presented on Saturday evenings, and Miss Lansbury says emphatically, "I know there is a public for it.!
"If you're home on Saturday night and want to watch something, you're very limited in what you can see," she says. "This show is meant for that audience of people over 30. I love the kids, and I hope they'll come along, but this show is not for them. They're out Saturday night punk rocking or watching MTV in another room.
But let me tell you, in time we're going to get the kids, too, because they also love a good yarn. Everyone does."

Reading Emily Wilson's translation of Homer's "The Iliad" and had to take a beat in "The Quarrel" when Agamemnon started railing about trophies - felt a little close to home!

Excerpt from Emily Wilson's translation of "The Iliad"-

"...Now go, find me another trophy, so I am not the only Greek commander who lacks a trophy. That would be unfair. You can all see my trophy going elsewhere."

The golden statue of the 2025 FIFA Peace Prize (which, incidentally, looks a bit like a person with their head in their hands in shame). (Atop a pedestal reading "FIFA PEACE PRICE 2025, Awarded Donald J. Trump, President of the United States," numerous hands hold up a globe)

I don't need a summary of what's available online, in biographies, or even in my own notes. I need to comb through and find the great details, decide what interests ME. No, it's not efficient. It's slow and painstaking. But I don't believe in efficiency as an ultimate good, especially in writing. /

A black and white screenshot from NEWSIES of Robert Duvall as Joseph Pulitzer. He's sitting in a chair in an ornate office. He's a white man with a beard wearing a suit and smoking a cigar. Behind him stands Christian Bale as Jack Kelly, a white teen in more raggedy looking clothing. Jack has his hands in his pocket and is glaring at Pulitzer, who is looking away from him.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
