Interesting story. Returning the looted art is always the right thing to do, but it doesn't sound like the actual bronzes will ever be seen in public in Nigeria, and likely will be in private collections with no local public access. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Restitution row: how Nigeria’s new home for the Benin bronzes ended up with clay replicas

The public display of artefacts looted by British colonial forces at the new Museum of West African Art was supposed to be the crowning glory of a decades-long restitution effort. What went wrong?

Funny how the right-wing news outlets in town, who pushed a "Here's his name! Who'll be brave enough to do something about him!" narrative in their "news" coverage, seem to be intentionally ignoring this.

What he allegedly did and vigilante justice are BOTH bad! www.startribune.com/st-paul-poli...

Who was the President on January 6th, 2021?

Because Joe Biden couldn't have ordered the FBI to go anywhere at that point. He wasn't President until two weeks later. www.rawstory.com/trump-biden-...

Donald Trump at just after midnight on Sunday morning released onto Truth Social a screed in which he claimed the "Biden FBI" placed "274" agents in the crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, when Trump himself was s...

I know last second, but...

We had to move our @guthrietheater.bsky.social tickets to A Doll's House to the last weekend. You can see how Ibsen's play from 1879 shook the world. #AmeilaPedlow gave an absolute Master's class in acting. Closes today, but go!!!

A lot of people will start sentences with the following words: "I don't think violently attacking someone is right, BUT..."

I don't like what this guy allegedly did, but I also don't like violent people trying to argue vigilante justice is righteous and noble. www.startribune.com/st-paul-poli...

Amazing how people looked at a brain-dead howler monkey vowing to solve the country's problems by throwing its feces at them, who LOVINGLY voted for the howler monkey, who are today insisting they voted for a 'nuanced policy howler monkey.'

It was ONLY about racism, bigotry, and 'owning the libs.'

Tricia McLaughlin "Deborah Brockman (from WGN)...threw objects at border patrol’s car, and she was placed under arrest for assault[ing an]...officer.”

Border Patrol released her, and no charges have been filed.

If she actually did assault them, there would be charges. Homeland Security is lying.

Getting out and enjoying life isn't about $1000 concert tickets or exclusive private events. It's about parks, changing leaves, and flower gardens. It's about sunsets and sunrises, northern lights, and seeing friends, which is free!

Make the most out of what is in front of you.

Morning Jaye!
