Once Leonard Cohen read a whole poem on the radio.
The interviewer asked him “What does the poem mean?”
Cohen paused for a long moment - and then read the entire poem again.
The FBI has already arrested over 100 Trumpist Insurrections. This means every one of their phones, computers, emails, contacts & correspondence is being carefully examined. This will tell us a lot. Even if it involves right wing Republican Congress members.
Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins?
What was it? Keep it short; don’t exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing.
Have you ever made a “revenge” work of art?
What was it?
1/3. Now, as the Angel of Death walks among us let us look back to just 17-days ago in the epically mismanaged handling of closing down of all flights to America from Europe. And then it was announced that Lumpy “misspoke”. Here are airports everywhere.
Perhaps the Best Public Sculpture of 2022. It is by
@thedailyshow
and tiled “Heroes of the Freedomsurrection.” In front of The Flatiron Building.
It is only here for one-day.
Commencing Day 16 Of Sheltering-in-Place. Coffee-run to gas-station complete. Eighteen large to-go. Put in car, drive them home, deloused, decontaminated, showered, and placed in fridge for use.
Stay safe out there, outlaws and creative-gypsies.
Dear everyone who was trying to tell me how to make coffee. Well, no one told me where to pour the water into my coffee machine. I poured 8 cups of water directly over the grounds. it overflowed all over my kitchen floor & there are grounds everywhere. Back to local gas station.

“Even I, who am completely dead inside, was all of a sudden incredibly moved by the idea of Kamala Harris as VP. And I was not alone. The sentiment, excitement, pride that women around the country felt, no one, perhaps not even Harris, could have predicted.”

Houston General Hospital employs over 25,000 people. When it mandated vaccines, Texas Governor & Republicans threatened that there would be mass resignations. Only 25 people quit. The rest took the vaccine. Companies, military, federal government- mandate vaccines. Save America.
1. Dear All Art Galleries: WARNING.
I love you you all. But I don’t care about your beautiful perfect installations. Please place benches there for the disabled and we geezers and who take a long time to look.
(continue to my idiot ultimatum in next tweet.)
I do not like the work of
@refikanadol
And I have said exactly why. I love AI art. I love all tools & technologies! I am merely criticizing an artist’s work for what does with their material & tools. Good for you that you love it. I find it mediocre.
I will be serving snacks to NYers in voting lines tomorrow. If you want a selfie with me I’m game. You need a bathroom break I hold your place in line.
If anyone knows any person or family member who breached the US Capital Building please turn them into local authorities. Scan Facebook for those who might have been there. Identify them. Lock them all up.
I find this nightmarish iconoclasm Taliban-like in its sick certitude & imperious self-righteousness & implied hatred of any other idea of beauty. The art world needs to stand up to this. I love beauty & hate the destruction of the earth. Paradox.
2/3. There were no extra TSA workers, screeners, CDC inspectors. Under Trump and all Republicans, America is a failed-state with a pathological liar at its head.
I did not start writing until I was 41. I was a ling-distance truck-driver for many years. I never went to school. I have no degrees. Desperation and some guts are all you need. Get to work you big babies.
