I kind of dig those chunky Newton phones on For All Mankind. I bet their battery life is amazing.

First, so sorry for your loss. Second, Ed had epic taste in music.

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

Today I described my state as "oscillating between gasping in childlike wonder at the moon mission photos and doomscrolling war news."

Well, it is TACO Tuesday, right?

Patrick Freyne: Is U2’s new EP Easter Lily almost ... cool? The band offer us a record about friendship, faith, art, meaning and, appropriately for Easter, death and the possibility of rebirth

"U2 are a weird outfit. They’re a contradictory, post-punk, Christian rock, avant-garde, capitalist, communitarian, disco pop, protest band. They should really be outsider artists. They had no business being the biggest band in the world for so long."

Good Bones by Maggie Smith Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I've shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways, I'll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that's a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.

Yang Yongliang Chinese, born 1980 Herding Horses, 2011 Giclee print on fine Art paper On loan from Yang Yongliang EL2026.26.2 Drawing on the long artistic tradition of imperial horse imagery, Yang Yongliang situates ancient-style herders and eight horses within a ruined contemporary landscape. What first appears like a classical panorama dissolves into collapsed earth, dead trees, abandoned cars, and mountains built from stacked high-rises and industrial structures. The ancient symbolism of the "Eight Steeds"-once associated with imperial virtue and talent recruitment-is hollowed out and reconfigured as a scene of cultural dislocation. The work exposes the impossibility of transplanting traditional ideals into a fractured modern environment, turning the noble horse into an emblem of displacement and loss.

I'm still thinking about this art by Yang Yongliang I saw Tuesday at Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Last night I dreamt I was stuck in the Budapest airport. My standard stress dream with an added layer of fabricated cultural references, since I really don’t know anything about Budapest or its airport.

Good evening

Colin Meloy did a show at the Fitzgerald Friday night. His set included a Replacements and a Richard Thompson cover. It was a fun show. The audience was basically all fans, and he knew it.

OMG, I’m in love!

I love it when a record label packs an extra CD or two in with an order. The best treats are unexpected ones.
