You know that toy that is the little gummy sticky monster thing that you throw at the wall and it slowly flops and sticks down the wall? That is all the AI crap I keep picking off my email and like every other app I touch apparently

The Death of the Art School
The rampant corporatization and "administrification" of American higher-education institutions has turned students into mere consumers.

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.
“Every hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”

In other news, I’m stoked that SOCIETY was awarded a Precipice Fund grant from The Andy Warhol Foundation via Portland Institute for Contemporary Art which is going to pay our rent above Mother Foucault’s for a year! societysocietysociety.com

It’s such a beautiful description of effective pedagogy and an argument for the value for young people learning to trust their powers of observation and analysis. See also: art history’s visual analysis. ❤️

I went back to look at the original and this is just awesome graphic design for 1850. Check out that font!
The cover of The Red Republican. The font is wild and scratched. A cartoon of a hat is on a bundle of sticks which I'm sure has some significance. Below, the text of the first english translation of the communist manifesto.

Bless the historians, art and otherwise. I think every day about how important in this moment are the historians whose good scholarship reminds us we have seen all this shit before and reminds us also about ways those who have come before us have dealt with it
