The possible trajectories are better than a decade ago, but still indicate significant global warming.

turns out Piss Christ really WAS just juvenile edgelordism
This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

A thing of beauty. 10/10, no notes!
Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

Not one work in the exhibition “Global Fascisms” at Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen der Welt acknowledges the world burning just beyond the door. In Jara Nassar’s words, “What is the role of art when the world is on fire?”
The Irony of a Fascism Exhibition in Germany
Once a custodian of critical culture, Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen der Welt has become a model of capitulation to state control.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
