Not really a podcast, but I enjoy The Source. It’s a semi interactive, psychosexual chat show? Are you familiar with it?

Isn’t that a fill no buster?

It’s always something isn’t it?

Also extremely effective, no?

I’ve seen some confusing extended metaphors lately, but, is this how I learn that my left stroke went viral?

Isn’t it a good thing they’re institutionalized. Imagine if they were just out walking on the streets?!

Joe Ray - US. This painting was made in 1993, after Rodney King’s beating and it made me think about Ross Gay’s ‘A Small Needful Fact’, which is about Eric Garner.

Or these cool urban sketches by George Grosz!

Nackariah @nackariah.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Next up, Treasures from LACMA! Saw three cool exhibits during my visit; one on stonework art, one on the Dutch Republic and colonialism, and one on Islamic women’s art. All were great!

I got caught up seeing Space Invaders in Paris that I missed going to an actual museum. But, Sacre Coeur had some sweet mosaics.
