Kamala Harris and I are both gun owners.
We’re not going to take away your Second Amendment rights — we’re going to prevent your kids from getting shot at school.
Confirmation of my reporting last night that Fox News refused to run former Republicans speaking at the Democratic National Convention.
Millions of people have left the Republican Party under Trump. Fox is desperate to stop its viewers from knowing this.
I stand corrected. Saw a Peter Halley show at at @baldwingallery in Aspen. They all laughed at me when I came in because they know I have written about how these things have what I call the “all look same” problem.
But I looked.
I started seeing the work in new more non-retinal ways and the paintings came alive in new ways.
Although, as one commenter said on the Baldwin page, “It’s just the altitude. They will look the same when you come back down.” Hah!
Anyway, art is always changing. We change with it.
Artists: When the failures and chaos of your work refuse to yield, that is when you make a breakthrough to a place outside logic, theory, intention, data, consciousness, thinking, and even the experiences of life. These magnificent ruptures often occur at the time of greatest grief, despondency. You have invented fire.
This is a very reddish radish of a picture of the King of England by the kitsch crapola artist Jonathan Yeo #JonathanYeo - born in 1970. It is mock romantic monochromatic morose shite because it only has subject matter.
If you like it, that’s fine too of course. Either way, it is a forgettable illustration of a painting.
The lady circled in red was Lucy Higgs Nichols. She was born into slavery in Tennessee, but during the Civil War she managed to escape and found her way to 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment which was encamped nearby. She stayed with the regiment and worked as a nurse throughout the war.
After the war, she moved north with the regiment and settled in Indiana, where she found work with some of the veterans of the 23rd. She applied for a pension after Congress passed the Army Nurses Pension Act of 1892 which allowed Civil War nurses to draw pensions for their service.
The War Department had no record of her, so her pension was denied. Fifty-five surviving veterans of the 23rd petitioned Congress for the pension they felt she had rightfully earned, and it was granted.
The photograph shows Nichols and other veterans of the Indiana regiment at a reunion in 1898. She died in 1915 and is buried in a cemetery in New Albany, Indiana.

Well, here’s our geezer bohemian dump/library/apartment that we live in and never leave, except to see 25-30 art shows every week. We do not cook and do not go out to eat. No one has ever been here. We are not part of society. This is the House That Criticism Built.
I am honored to be a part of Mono8 Gallery’s presentation at S.E.A. Focus 2024 in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore.
