So sad to just learn that we lost artist Dara Birnbaum on May 2nd. I
Always loved her famous Technology, Transformation: Wonderwoman. And her other hilarious television remixes, like Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry. A visionary in her time. 💜 RIP

Trump’s mentor, Roy Cohn, was McCarthy’s right hand man (and also the lawyer of mob bosses like John Gotti), so the McCarthy smell makes sense. I learned so much about Trump’s strategies from the doc Where’s My Roy Cohn. Chilling.

The Cinematic Masterpiece You Won’t Get to See
A new documentary could redefine our understanding of the pop icon Prince, but it probably won’t be released.

It’s no secret that Musk has zero interest in the environment or the well being and safety of workers and their community.

Wiseman at Lincoln Center. The film Central Park. His work is a soothing counterpoint to the T admin. He lovingly shows the full spectrum of humanity, while equally lovingly showcasing the negotiations that make shared/public spaces possible.

This is wrong in so many ways and scary as heck. Call your senators and make any noise possible to keep Musk from places he does not belong. @indivisible.org has some good tools.
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

The Farocki In Memorium (10 years) panel at the Goethe Institute was a great reminder of what we’ve lost. I would so love Farocki’s take on algorithmicly driven media, AI and the production of political images and right now.
