It’s interesting in that you want to find out what happens, but the journey there very mixed. It’s middling to poor, mostly silly.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025
THE ART WORLD
RECONSTRUCTED
In "Monuments," the Confederacy surrenders to nineteen artists.
By Julian Lucas

Picture is the statue described in img 2

•he hirst thing you see is a horses
- ass, protruding, upside down, trom the thorax of a monster. A man's arm descends from the beast's stomach, his gloved hand clutching the blade of a fallen sabre. There's no sign of a rider's face, but a head of well-coiffed hair dangles from the creature's eyeless muzzle. Every part of the work comes from a statue of the Confederate general Stonewall Jackson that was removed from Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2021. It was subsequently given to the artist Kara Walker, who carved it up in accordance with a butcher's diagram. The finished sculpture, "Unmanned Drone"—on view at the Brick, in Los Angeles, as part of a joint exhibition with MocA called
"Monuments" —is at once an act of carnivalesque retribution and a recognition of the Confederacy's zombie-like persistence. A rebellion defeated more than a hundred and sixty years ago refuses to stay dead; between the creature's legs, a horse head emerges from a gape in the bronze, like a new Jackson already foaling.

Is anyone there in favour?

Seen too many grievance left convert to grievance right, specifically in the hope they’ll get to be important. No longer think left and right have anything to do with their world view, more like a perverted religious impulse gone rank.

I grew up around Greeks and Yugoslavs who’d either fled the Left or fled the Right, and you never knew which it was (until soon enough they let you know). What a minefield. But everyone, crazy as a cat in a dog box.

Are the coppers in Australia full of ex army stooges? I know that's a big part of the problem in the US but wouldn't surprise me if its somewhat a thing here. Also the inherent problem of empire building married to photogenic announceables that's always a red flag in any org.

The pandemic was a real eye-opener into how superstitions are as rife as ever so it’s no wonder generative AI gets the same dipshitery. These fucks think they can bend physics.

Bunch of engineers in China, actually doing good work on time and on budget, reading about a bunch of jagoffs in California high on the 996 supply, have a good laugh.

It can be exhausting!

People need to realise that there's no such thing as magic wands. All change is a hard exercise in taking power from people who already have it, and whom are quite fond of keeping it.

ABC’s Jonathan Karl is releasing his FOURTH book on Trump and making the media rounds for it now, if you wonder what mainstream journalists are doing and what the financial incentives are for how they operate.
