Was dir gefallen könnte
Baseball maven and historian @bakerauthor Kevin Baker will be interviewing Pulitzer-Prize winning architecture critic @PaulGoldberg and the Museum of the City of New York, on Thursday, September 12th at 6:30. Play Ball! @MuseumofCityNY
Cuomo the Lesser smears Cynthia Nixon as anti-Semite, and tries to open an unsafe bridge. Media focuses on her choice of bagel. This is why Trump COULD shoot someone on 5th Ave—the rest of us would be too busy laughing at the victim's lousy sneakers.
NY Times endorsing Zephyr Teachout for attorney general and Andy Cuomo for governor is like endorsing Elliot Ness...and Al Capone.
If Russia wins the World Cup, will Trump invite its team to the White House?
I am scheduled to appear on #AMJoy on MSNBC Sunday, July 2nd at 11:30 am! Set your DVRs.
...and for that matter, Mr. Stewart, #RomanColosseum WAS stripped of much of its splendor to build #Vatican. Bad choice? #JeffDavis #NOLA
...wanted to. Statues of #JeffDavis and other see-sech in #NOLA were put up to deliberately celebrate "white supremacy" in #JimCrow era...
...as for what enslaved people built in US? LOOK ALL AROUND YOU: It is this nation. Nobody is taking it down, though #JeffDavis #NOLA...
...were things of beauty in their own right. #JeffDavis statue is NOT something built by slaves but a tribute to an avowed traitor...#NOLA
...with all due respect pyramids NOT "built entirely from slave labor" and did not simply celebrate their builders but...#JeffDavis #NOLA
#NewOrleans Frank B. Stewart compares taking down Jeff Davis statue with tearing down pyramids or Colosseum in Rome... #JeffDavis
...free speech and self-expression for "white people" are not "natural rights." Is the #NYT neutral on this??? Or just #RobertaSmith ?
Also, #RobertaSmith does not mention other assertion of would-be art vandal careerists in #WhitneyBiennial censorship, which is that...
...to dispel that twilight, and stand against appalling threats to censor or destroy a work of art. #OpenCasket
...for destroying a painting in the #Whitney ? Yes, people are in "the middle," i.e., moral twilight. Should be job of #NYT art critic...
...#RobertaSmith claims "Many people" are "in the messy middle, seeing both sides, grasping for precedents." What are the precedents...
...that #Whitney "frame a possibly controversial work of art through labels or programming"—TRIGGER WARNINGS! for the museum...
...#OpenCasket "abhorrent" BUT says "For me...the ground kept shifting" on what to do about the painting. #RobertaSmith also suggests...
...in #NYT piece "Should Art That Angers Remain on View?" #RobertaSmith calls idea of censoring or destroying Dana Schutz painting...
