A bit of fiction by cropping the original photo from this post and removing the overgrown (and truly brutal) loading dock, but I love this roofline in isolation

Robert Irwin’s installation at the Dia Chelsea in 1998 featured light frame walls covered with a translucent scrim and a grid of vertical fluorescent light tubes wrapped in colored gels, lighting each space with a different hue visible across a series of squares throughout the gallery.

I.R.S. to Drop Audits of Trump and Family www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u... Nothing about this is legal. Nothing about this is binding. All of this administration’s blanket pardons and protections will be reversed. All of its payments to allies and insurrectionists will ultimately be clawed back.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Why would Congress approve any new legislation if the OMB can target specific states afterwards and selectively cut their funding? There is no incentive to agree to anything at all.

Frederick Wiseman, a director whose rigorously objective explorations of social and cultural institutions constitute one of the more revered bodies of work in American documentary filmmaking, died on Monday. He was 96. nyti.ms/4qGpq55

Frederick Wiseman, 96, Penetrating Documentarian of Institutions, Dies
He exposed abuses in films like “Titicut Follies,” a once-banned portrait of a mental hospital, but ranged widely in subject matter, from a Queens neighborhood to a French restaurant.

“Your ‘Safe’ Stock Funds May Be Riskier Than You Think” by @jeffnyc.bsky.social - This is especially relevant for funds with more limited options such as 401k and 529 plans. I think Ex-US International funds (both equity and bonds) may be the best way to diversify away from this concentration risk.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

I often get asked why markets aren’t more freaked out by Trumpism. Here are a few theories, including: are you sure they *aren’t*? open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
open.substack.com
Trump Says We Have the “Hottest” Economy. Markets Tell a Different Story.
The U.S. economy entered 2025 as the “envy of the world.” It exited well behind its peers.
