I found some automated streams of modernist art on bluesky, but they were too repetitive and had too many dull pictures, so I decided to be a poster of (mostly) modernist classics. Sorry no alt text, im a slow awkward writer and i cant even begin to describe most stuff i post.

This guy is good

“He is just 22 yet he is already being compared to Dylan, Cohen and Waits. The Geese frontman talks about the joys of going solo, employing a five-year-old bassist – and why God deserves a shout out”

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?
