In honor of Valentine’s Day, we are featuring Rio Grande Valley artist Jesus Treviño’s “Footwork Under the Basket.”

Like the couple dancing beneath an indigo sky and the light of a basketball court, may you and yours be met with song, dance, and love today.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!
Okay what is going on here. Are the accounts at a private banking entity? Does the federal government have direct debit permission set up? So many questions as to how Treasury instructed this payment. (Via NY Post’s Craig McCarthy)

When a writer says they've outlined their story, what they really mean is they've envisioned 3-4 cool scenes they now need to somehow tie together into a plot

I just realized that the Vanity Fair Cormac McCarthy “muse” story appeared in print. It’s about 11,000 words. That means the author likely got over $20,000 for the story—VF print usually pays $2/word. Excuse me while I go light myself on fire.

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

“...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."
