@evan Seconded! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Banksy's identity is Not The Point!
We're gawping at the spirit of his art. Not a name.
Looking for a Mastodon instance which has a policy of No Banksy Reveals.
Meanwhile ejecting from view any account transgressing.
They seek him here
They seek him there
Those journos seek him everywhere
@evan I'm Brian and so's my wife
edit: huh. that might actually be closer to the truth than i thought. his work is mostly stencils. he's probably multiple people by now.
@evan Maybe they have a big team working on Epstein or Netanyahu or something, with big secrets...
Though, likely not.
Banksy is not in the Epstein files.

…
But we know who is!
"The New York Times identified more than 5,300 files containing over 38,000 references to […] and related terms in the January 2026 release."
@evan this is a real flex.. but people in the arts community know who he is. If you don't know, you're not in the right circles.

(and yes, revealing it is stupid)
@evan I'm glad these valiant truth-seekers have gotten the guy who spray paints hopeful symbolism on walls sorted.
I assume they will now shift their keen investigative minds to reporting about Palantir's sales process. Or whatever. This is going to be great!
