Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him.
His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. 
I sued them for wrongful termination and won.
So yes, I know that motherfucker.

In terms of continuing to expand the ai bubble that $22m in compute costs and stolen work is probably priceless, but imagine spending that much to fund artists or poets for a year or literally any other direct labor support investment, and compare the real world value generated…it makes me weep.

In the state of RI, the so called “arts state”, it’s easier & more likely for an artist to meet the Mayor, Governor, and our senators than to meet the current director of the RISD Museum of Art.

A Google user left a one-star review of the New Bedford Whaling Museum coining the phrase. Last fall, the museum began selling shirts and hoodies with the review on the back and a whale skeleton on the front. What the museum lacks in in live aquaculture, it makes up for in skeletons.
New Bedford Whaling Museum goes viral for ‘worst aquarium ever’ merch

This is a good example of the fear that ICE has engendered in so many. A man here completely legally with nothing (on paper) to fear from ICE took off running when they showed up at a gas station and was struck by a passing truck. Awful.
NEW INFO HAS REVEALED that the 28-year-old Mexican man killed while running from ICE last week was just visiting on short tourist visa—and already had a plane ticket to go home.

If you’re looking for a freelance book editor for your project, hit up @wcboggess.bsky.social. When I finished the trilogy, I wanted to someone to read the books back to back, to check consistency, tone, vibe, thematic progression, all of it. William was really great, perceptive & insightful!

In April I published a book about Americans' centuries-long effort to come to terms with slavery's place in George Washington's legacy.
I'm also taking on more writing and speaking gigs about history, museums, and how Americans are engage with the past.
