Two pretty significant milestones for psychedelic poster art culture took shape in 1967—the work of pioneering artist Bonnie MacLean was excluded from both. New thing from me www.dominicumile.com/blog/bonnie-...

American illustrator Bob Pepper’s cover for the 1972 edition of Ray Bradbury’s ‘The October Country’ faroutcompany.com/the-october-... … a lot more Pepper here raggedclaws.com/category/bob...

In addition to Beatrice Keul's allegation in the new report, which was culled from "interviews conducted by the Committee, survivor accounts, FBI records and documents," "two women have claimed they were 13 or 14 when Trump assaulted them" www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

1981 - The Specials - Ghost Town Cannot think of any other music video that captured a moment quite this well.

"In the 1970s, Peter Fonda and Warren Oates made three films together. This is the one in which they witness a sacrificial murder and are chased across Texas by Satanists in an RV" www.criterion.com/current/post...

From library music composer Alessandro Alessandroni, 'Knell, The Bloody Avenger' is "a gritty, magnetic urban soundscape built on pulsing basslines, wah-wah and electric guitars, hypnotic piano hooks, biting brass, and unexpected melodic flourishes" fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/knell-...

I want off this ride

Trump and his ilk, always out here making sure that attacks on MAGA resonate far and wide. They're solely responsible for this joke having any kind of lifespan. He's probably having tantrums all night about it

If I was a freelance New Yorker illustrator, learning the art director was really good at using Claude would be a red flag

Go catch that ER Band when ya can emilyrobb.bandcamp.com/track/all-ar...

amen

A fascinating listen, and I hadn’t ever heard Johnny Rivers version of Positively 4th Street (Sweetheart of the Rodeo vibe), so here it is… youtu.be/YR6wtzIUtcs?...

The Peter Hujar show at the Morgan was poignant and powerful, spotlighting his portraits, street photography, and more, but we thought that it deserved more space! (100+ contact sheets on view, merely 20 enlargements—institution's collection is 5.7k+ contact sheets) www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/...

“I think both of these moments show just how regressive the Republican Party is" | Reporter @marisakabas.bsky.social on her important work on the El-Sayed "viral moment" and the disgusting Ramaswamy ad podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o... via @onthemedia.bsky.social

Caught a small, thoroughly packed art show last night on Orchard, on the LES—bunch of graffiti writers redesigning/re-envisioning used record album sleeves. All-wax DJ sets (we missed Large Professor 😢) www.pabloancona.art/vinyl-vandal...

New — I wrote about Vivek Ramaswamy’s weaponization of Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse and how it’s only the latest symptom of a Republican party flush with rape apologists, led by an adjudicated rapist:

NYC ballot proposal 3 is a doozy, right? What if I am eager to speed up bike lane development and bus lanes but ALSO concerned about oversight regarding air rights? *Looks around, anticipating clear-eyed guidance on this jumbled ballot proposal* gothamist.com/news/ballot-...

Reminder: Emergency Group plays at Nublu Classic on Manhattan's Lower East Side this Sunday 10/25, with Countermoon and ALÂN (featuring WFMU's Sheila B.). Will be a great show! Come see us.

In-depth, on-the-ground reporting from the Buckeye State, where Vivek Ramaswamy, with the help of his own abhorrent ads, "could be the first Ohio Republican to lose a gubernatorial bid in 20 years" (fingers crossed) slate.com/news-and-pol...

For gods sake give the cheese truckers what they want apnews.com/article/ital...

“The last time The Ringer hired somebody with the sole intention of having them write for the website is hard to pinpoint, but I don’t think it was this decade” — this is …strange stuff defector.com/nobody-wants...

Just saw this show. Very good, though small to cover six artists. Just learned that one of the artists, Kay Sekimachi, just celebrated her 100th birthday.

“If IBM had Paul Rand, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority had Massimo Vignelli, and Alfred Hitchcock had Saul Bass, nature itself had Charley Harper.” www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org/art/exhibiti...

NEW: I dug into public records behind a secretive $66 billion data center and found General Catalyst and an energy startup founded by Palantir alumni are spearheading the project. www.inc.com/sam-blum/mys...

"In a recent survey, 86% of job hunters said they had encountered a posting that wasn’t tied to an active opening" — job search but make it more demoralizing www.fastcompany.com/91626086/gho...

What a disgrace—Republicans own this. What an absolutely disgusting display. Mortifying that this thing is President

They're in the "yard," not too "far" from the "car."

"In 1967, William Eggleston arrived in Manhattan with a suitcase full of colour slides of the Mississippi Delta. They caught the eye of John Szarkowski—then a curator at MoMA and America’s most influential photography critic" www.anothermag.com/art-photogra...

I noticed this too and thought it was a bug—Bluesky now hiding the followers you have in common on a user's profile page. Seems bad

“Do you think that Trump is attempting to overthrow democracy? Because I do, and think it’s obvious that he is” — former Chicago Tribune editor @markjacob.bsky.social reflects on his NYT interview here www.stopthepresses.news/p/the-new-yo...

Very in-depth two-part podcast interview w/ Rich Medina about DJ culture, early-2000s-era parties at APT in NYC, and a lot more—part one here soundcloud.com/roadpodcast/...

Absolutely. An incredible band performance behind him, and not his regular touring band entirely either, though his drummer and guitarist were there, presumably helping the band, which included King Curtis and Cornell Dupree, through the cues!

On view at Garth Greenan Gallery: a new exhibition of overlooked Pop artist (and writer) Rosalyn Drexler's 1960s-era work— the reliably insightful @jilnotjill.bsky.social has more on a new "season of Drexler rediscovery" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/15/a...

Off to see @perennialtheband.bsky.social playing tracks from their new LP 'Modernism' later. In a deliberate high concept move on someone's part, it's upstairs at The Modernist Society's gallery/shop in Manchester. 18.30 doors, 19.00 Perennial, 20.00 Port Street Beer House. Or something like that.
