Victor Brauner : Pantacular Progression, 1948 Encaustic (molten wax) on cardboard. He heavily favored the encaustic technique during the 1940s because its dense, layered texture allowed him to achieve a distinctive archaic, fresco-like finish 19.75 x 27.5 in | 50.2 x 69.8 cm Museum of Modern Art
Created in 1948, the artwork reflects Brauner's deep engagement with spiritualism, myth, occultism, and hybrid animal-human figures. Following a traumatic accident in 1938 where he lost his left eye, Brauner's compositions became increasingly flat, symbolic, and filled with personal and religious iconography. Pantacular Progression showcases his characteristic geometric and symbolic codification of forms, using flattened perspectives and interconnected organic shapes to depict a mystical evolution or narrative.

My good friend, Dave, is moving to Stockbridge so I sent him this classic JT that has it in the 2nd verse. Dave lived on Liberty Street opposite the WTC on 9/11. He’s in my book and film on the subject. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2x0...

Part of the post-Trump repairs to democracy must be inspectors general. What if we house them in the legislative branch, where a president cannot fire them? Courts could serve as a check.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother, a daughter, a wife, a neighbor, and a Minnesotan. Nine months ago, an ICE agent shot her, then allegedly refused a physician's offer of medical aid. Her family deserves accountability and justice. It's long past time.

And connecting two threads today: the corrupt Supreme Court and the fascist Manhattan Institute are linked through a single billionaire and GOP mega-donor, Paul Singer. Singer gave Sam Alito a bribery flight on a fishing vacation, and he is the founder and longtime major funder of Manhattan Inst.

Speaking as a Yanks fan, I’d like to express my sympathy for every player on/fan of the Red Sox. I need to see the opposing team pulverized, but I hate the loss on their faces after a season of hope and good play. The flaw in team sports is that one must lose. And my sympathy doesn’t help…

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

"Goldsmiths Shorty" (1965) by A.J.Harbottle. One of the great lost works of British experimentalism, it describes a day in the life of a civil servant who has become invisible. Harbottle themself reportedly went missing and it is unclear if they ever existed.

As many possums as I've seen in my life, I've never seen one play possum. I've had them walk right up to me, and then turn like "Oh, s#it! I nearly messed up" and scurry off as fast as their little possum legs will carry them. Love these guys.
