Amanda and I went to see the Bosch and Bruegel print exhibit at the Speed yesterday. I love the little dudes in these things.
Unknown artist in the manner of Hieronymus Bosch “Various Fantastic Figures” (detail) c. 1570-80 On the left, a man peers out from between his legs while his upper body is in a barrel. Another figure standing on top of the barrel also looks at the viewer from between its legs. On the right is a creature with muscular birds legs directly connected to a human face. The creature is wearing a droopy conical hat. Pieter van der Heyden after Pieter Bruegel the Elder “St. James and the Magician Hermogenes” (detail) 1585 A bipedal creature stands on its hands. It has a nonplussed human face (now right side up) on its abdomen. Pieter van der Heyden after Pieter Bruegel the Elder “The Descent of Christ into Limbo” (detail) circa 1561 Amidst a sea of creatures, a creature with a human body and a head completely covered in long hair holds its arms up, its mouth wide open in what may be a scream. Pieter van der Heyden after Pieter Bruegel the Elder “The Descent of Christ into Limbo” (detail) circa 1561 A depressed pineapple with human arms, hair, and a human face holds an apple and what may be a horn.

So cool! Prince *loved* libraries. For example, this is one donation he made from his charity a few days after 9/11 to save the Louisville Free Public Library, the first library in the community to serve African Americans.

Darius Rucker, Mike Mills of R.E.M., and Steve Gorman of the Black Crowes decided to form a band and this is the first stop on their tour! Their first single dropped on Friday so I mostly have no idea what they’re going to play!

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

Glad to be at the library tonight to hear @greenwell.bsky.social talk about her book “Bad Company”. I had read excerpts that were great, and Sheba great speaker too!

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Tonight we are honorary millennials. (Had the chance to see them at an in-town music festival, but a half set in the sun while standing the whole time for twice the price vs. a full indoor set where you can sit down is not really a choice at all.)
