Seems like a good time to re-read or revive my grandfather's 1933 Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the failings of Congress, "Both Your Houses". Plus ça change....

While visiting the 2025 Airing of the Quilts Festival, don’t miss Between History & Memory at the River Gallery. The exhibition honors Dinah Miller, Gee’s Bend’s earliest known quilter. Her legacy still shapes the art world today. #GeesBend #AiringOfTheQuilts #DinahMiller #RiverGallery

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Essential.
James 'Son Ford' Thomas's untitled work (1987) from the High Museum reflects his dreamlike process. Known for his blues-inspired "make-ups," Thomas used materials like clay, beads, and foil to bring his intuitive, imaginative visions to life.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

the silicon valley ai worshipping cult stuff is so incredibly strange i'm not even sure how to approach commenting on it
There is a quasi-religion in Silicon Valley that views AI as godlike. This faith has always been parallel to Evangelical Christianity: salvation (transhumanism), the rapture (the technological singularity), and demons (Roko's Basilisk)

Lately the AI faith has fully fused with Christian Nationalism.
