This 15-year old successfully pulling off "French detective investigating daring jewel heist" to the extent that much of the world believed it is pretty much what the Mandate of Heaven looks like. As @betsyphillips.bsky.social was telling me, there's a god, and he likes this kid.
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

It makes me mad to admit this, but the best book about Edmondson, even if it's somewhat outdated, is still the book Cheekwood did in 1999 with Mississippi.

Today I found a long-lost Edmondson headstone and held a lost Edmondson dove. In my hands! In my fucking hands! There are no art police who stop you to check to see if you have an art degree before you touch the priceless sculptures.

Chamberlain and Crofton are all “Here’s my whole heart for you to consider.” I’m like “What if we built a statue that was just one thousand hands flipping the bird and faced it toward the state capitol?”

I really love Chris’s writing. I’m feeling mushy today about everyone at the Scene. Just a bunch of solid talent and then some old broad trying to see how many “fucks” Patrick will let her have.
