Very disturbing to receive a ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’ when coming and going from the Gagosian gallery. What is going on?

Tonight in 1990 — Laura Palmer’s killer was revealed on TWIN PEAKS.

ABC insisted, and David Lynch + Mark Frost delivered a chilling episode.

But Lynch hated closure, and he got his payback with a finale cliffhanger it took 25 years to resolve. And even then, he still left us wondering. #TwinPeaks

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country.

Debra Levine had a theater class do "Make a Salad" (1962) at NYUAD one semester, pouring ingredients from a balcony above a dining hall entrance, and the food services team went berserk. RIP to a giant.
RIP Alison Knowles, the free-spirited and generous conceptual artist, a legend among legends in the Fluxus gang. 1933–2025. Tonight, we eat salad.
