Coming to @lincolncenter.bsky.social on June 12: an event that will "likely be the loudest show in the history of Lincoln Center" (their claim): Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 13 "Hallucination City" for 100 electric guitars, conducted by Reg Bloor. Details here: lincolncenter.org/series/summe...

agrestic subconscious soul singer: the off-beat beauty of mary margaret o'hara The Canadian singer-songwriter made one captivating album, 1988's Miss America, then, as legend goes, vanished. But she's always been there for those who look.

I wrote about the incredibly fucking cool and utterly peerless Mary Margaret O'Hara, whose music seems to have taken up permanent residence in my brain this spring as a balm for unbearably bleak times.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

A sculpture of a batter next to a home plate, in the middle of a Lowe's Hardware where Sicks' Stadium used to be in Seattle. It was the former home of the Seattle Pilots in 1969. The bat on the sculpture appears to be bent.

It reminds me of the marker at the site of Sicks' Stadium home plate. The batter has a bent bat for some reason

The top part of the Moon is illuminated. The gray cratered surface stands out against the blackness of space. The Earth appears in the far distance as an upside-down crescent moon shape. There is some lens flare in the top part and center of the image. Credit: NASA

okay i change my mind, THIS is one of the best and most beautiful images from artemis ii

When Christopher Walken showed up in that last Dune movie it totally shattered any suspension of disbelief I might have been feeling

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA)

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning.

I think what I got from this is that I have a really good monitor

Your Delta Eok JND 0.0018 Either you have superhuman cone cells or you got very lucky. I'm going with lucky. This is absurdly below the theoretical JND. Your monitor is doing something weird. Or both.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

This mural slaps. Literally turned around so I could get a picture.
