Thinking—on this cloudless Sunday—of John Clare (1793-1864) & some of his astounding poems, which focus so tenderly on the objective correlative. The sting in this sonnet of rhymed couplets is exemplary, a refusal of summary or moralizing. @danchiasson.bsky.social @jfranklinpoet.bsky.social

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Elon Musk was mocked after raging against "unelected bureaucrats" in an Oval Office rant oblivious to the fact that he was describing himself.

When an "old chestnut" sprouts anew. Written 208 years ago, Shelley's dark prophecy—about tyranny, vanity, historical cycles, art's power & the judgement of time—is painfully relevant again. #Trump2.0

Banks, payday lenders, and credit card companies can now scam Americans with zero consequences because there is no longer a functioning agency to hold Wall Street accountable. This is a coup and your Members of Congress need to hear from you: indivisible.org/coup?source=...

The M-aga ship-of-state. For sale, but unable to set sail. When a moment in the real world seems to speak to the symbols in our heads... and to the "realities" of our politics. #incompetence #corruption #synchronicity #coincidence #ship #shipofstate #shipofdreams #symbology #politics #madevisible

"Today is a day that will live in infamy..." to quote another #POTUS about a very different attack on the United States. But—surprise!—the #January6th insurrectionists blame someone else for their troubles, post #CapitolRiot: bit.ly/Jan6riot. Some even seem to have benefited from their notoriety.

The astounding Cromeleque dos Almendres, outside of Evora, Portugal. According to archaeologists, it was built in three phases, from 6,000-3,000 B.C. So, it's considerably older than Stonehenge and the largest in Iberia. #cromlech #cromlequesdosalmendres #megalith

The school shooting today in Madison, WI was the 323rd gun attack at a school in the U.S. in 2024. In 2023, guns killed nearly 43,000 Americans. Some say we need to fear an upcoming civil war. I say: We're already in the midst of one. #guns #civilwar #killing #bullets #deathcult #madness

From an NYC gallery show in February 2024. Dancing or leaping men by Richard Hambleton. Hambleton (1952 to 2017) was a member of a group that emerged from the New York City art scene during the booming art market of the 1980s, including Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
