@NaziaKaziTweets 2 1/2 months after Obama met Chavez, democratically elected President Zelaya of Honduras boarded the helicopter in his PJs at gunpoint. Obama did it earlier in his first term (June '09) than Donroe's second term 1/2026 abduction

@RaymondPettibon @AJEnglish Michael McClure: “Dylan’s politics were like first strike capability politics. If the Chinese are building the hydrogen bomb.. go in there and take it out.. macho politics.. not a bleeding heart liberal.. heard him bare his heart a couple of times and my blood ran a little cold"

@RaymondPettibon @David_Raffin I just got the Estonian import of Arvo Part's Russian Girls Are Hot oratorio and detected what appears to be an anti-Zhdanovian sentiment in one of the plainsongs, but I liked Raymond's album cover nonetheless

@RaymondPettibon @David_Raffin that was before El Greco presented Phillip II 'onan masaoka,' an old Cretan recipe with ingredients gathered from the cum-trails

@RaymondPettibon @David_Raffin Velazquez initially envisioned an Onan-Marx synthesis while spilling seed applying the final touches before the Portrait of Mariana vernissage, but Mars got the whole thing on video to get Diego to help scuttle the Treaty of Westphalia

@culturaltutor MoMA has one of the world's best de Chirico collections, unfortunately the aren't showing Double Dream of Spring, Melancholy of Departure, Song of Love, Enigma of a Day to the public. They used to show them before they expanded, and immediately after the first renovation.

Not only Kamala Harris but also Zelensky lost US presidential election. He supported Biden & then Harris, became de facto involved in campaigning for her in Pennsylvania, attacked Trump & his vice-president Vance, and called them, respectively, "loser" & "radical." Now he tries to make U-turn.

@artistmanet Painted the year Manet became close friends with Mallarmé, it recalls for me Mallarmé's 1864 L'Azur:

Unceasing let the dismal chimney-flues
Exude their smoke, and let the soot's nomadic prison
Extinguish in the horror of its blackened queues

(tr. H. Creekmore)
