Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”
Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...
The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay
Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

I was all deep nods and “Mmm-hmm!”s during my opening night visit, then the same during my interview. (He’s lucky I only sang during the former.)
Run, don't walk, to see Derek Fordjour's show at Kordansky — a tribute to Black music, art and life via painting, sculpture, video and live musical performance.
@leighann3000.bsky.social spoke with the artist about his installation for KCRW's Art Insider:

LAT's @jessicagelt.bsky.social writes about Trump's grievances with the Smithsonian — aka he hates inclusion. It's interesting that politicians who could care less what the Statue of Liberty stands for get their panties in knots when artists recontextualize her.

Last week I found myself dancing to Jeffrey Gibson's video piece featuring a jingle dress dancer inside the Broad museum. It turns out that @leighann3000.bsky.social did much the same — and she writes about it for this week's Art Insider for @kcrw.com.
