Early Modern/late Medieval art historian, progressive, citizen of the world, trying to find balance in our emerging late Capitalist dystopia.
On short commute home (daily "Springfield, MO, are you ...*OK*?" experience), I saw sitting at the base of a public sculpture (t-rex riding a unicycle on South St) a man with disheveled white beard, clad in a lime green, fur-lined parka and rainbow colored-tights playing an accordion (competently).

the civil rights movement did not win by awakening the secret virtue of Southern whites by appealing to their better nature. it won by producing a demonstration of their brutality Northerners could not ignore

I wonder what I clicked that that signed me up for a Krishnamurti-related list serve? I mean, cool, and I'm not *not* interested, but, what?

English language complaint: the word "sanction" meaning two almost opposite things. I have to get two paragraphs into a news article to figure out what's going on. "Oh, the government sanctioned them! That's good. . . oh, wait. . ." So, "Did you sanction this?" "Um... I don't know. . ."

While we're talking about fonts and readability (caveat: not a graphic designer), praise for Aptos. It has the lovely tittles (a real word) for i and j, and the good g, but ALSO the excellent differentiation of the low case l and panache to upper case Q.

I think the pattern of stupid videos that stop my scrolling in its tracks and send me into a fugue state indicate some longing for order or resolution (twee Japanese wood joinery, cake frosting, power-washing Persian carpets, logs being milled).

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Once again, Ubisoft has failed to call me to put me on retainer, and yet another Assassins Creed franchise offering with painful architectural anachronisms (set in 9th-century Baghdad but with *so much* Ilkhanid- and Timurid-era styling--the horror!). Will they never learn?
