So, this is inside baseball, Dallas version. Once upon a time, #Dallas was an art town. There was large scale public support for things like murals and sculpture and things in public spaces.

In 1992, and for 14 more years, bunches of local artists were invited to come paint areas that were graffiti magnets. And thus was the Good Latimer Deep Ellum Arts project born. (Disclaimer, I had a 10’x12’ mural under the bridge before it was demolished).

One of the artists who really threw himself in was muralist Robert #Wyland, who painted Whaling Wall 82 at the Aquarium. Truly one of the most amazing pieces of public art in Dallas.

They painted over it for FIFA. It has become a tradition for capitalists to destroy the commons in Dallas.

If there’s one thing the new breed of Capital cannot abide, it’s proof that we continue apace without their approval.

They are afraid of #art. Good. Have paint, will travel.

#BlueOrigin Rocket Blows Up on Florida Launchpad During Test

The rocket, built by the #JeffBezos owned #space company, was to carry 48 #satellites into space. Blue Origin reported on social media that “all personnel have been accounted for.”

The fireball badly damaged the launchpad & surrounding equipment at the Cape Canaveral “#SpaceForce” Station.… Repairs will most take months, at the least.

For the ones who did not see this.
Palantir CEO Karp, people.

"The technology disrupts humanities-trained, highly educated, often female voters who vote mostly Democrat, and lessens their economic power.
It increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters.
The disruptions will affect every aspect of society. To make this work we need to agree on how to explain to people they will have less good, interesting jobs."
