Yesterday’s film and today’s film: #Lilies #QueerFilm #bobdylan #cinemaverite Recommend both & would be interested in your thoughts

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Strawberries and cream, brought to you by Raphaelle Peale, first American still-life painter. He was born on this day in 1774.

The forge of Vulcan, 1585. Curiously specialized in housewares. But Cupid is working away too, for Valentine's Day. And with a fine pet dog, because it's by Jacopo Bassano. Today is his day

We told you they would come for veterans. We told you they would come for community care.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more. - US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID - $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes. - Food stranded in Houston - Aid stopped in transit. The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

KOSMA - the Kids Off Social Media Act - is a bad, bad bill. We need education and regulation, not bans. We need to rein in the technocratic oligarchs and demand transparency for their products. Make the world better, not less.

Elias van den Broeck tries some fruit & oysters along with the flowers. Looks good! Lemon peel curled around the wine glass is also a nice touch. Today is his day.

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

Today's artist without a (known) birthday: Elias van den Broeck of Antwerp & Amsterdam. Painter of dramatic floral arrangements. With bugs.

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed… in the Guardian 2/6/25, by Judith Butler.

By now, I'm guessing most have already seen the news on our new project, Nightshade. Lots of artists sharing it, but here's the article from MIT Technology Review (tyvm to the wonderful Melissa Heikkila). This is a thread explaining Nightshade & its goals www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/23/1...

I'm not surprised by trump's disgustingly negative attitude about disabled people. It's who he is, and who he's always been. This should have been the end.

Americans (as me), suggest read, think about we’re at & impact on both poor & middle class, consider action(s) locally, regional, global. Each of heat importance. strengths at every (perhaps not all—probably) 1970/2025? 1970s my experience. Not olden days. & not so great yet we travel back in time

Today’s play #nationaltheatre #nationaltheatreathome (app) #deathofengland

Just saying: I was in my 20s as Reagan busted air traffic contrôler union. Results, long lasting—overworked, under staffed, and invisible to general public. I fly often, I remember those days often, esp vividly when I fly Effects of recent collision ripples thru & will also last many years.

I missed this entirely: The FAA Administrator criticized Space X’s safety record and threatened fines. Musk demanded he resign. He did. On January 20th. www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-mi...
