The inevitable next stage in metamodernist curatorial journalism. Thrilled to see this.
@froomkin.bsky.social has the right idea here: A volunteer army tracking exactly what Trump is breaking, so we can fix it later. Lots of work is already happening, but a combined, organized, ongoing effort is crucial. It's a manifestation of faith in recovery, and a tool to help us get it done.
I'm calling for an army of volunteers to build a massive wiki that enumerates the things that Trump has broken and that will need fixing: presswatchers.org/2025/05/we-n... Are you with me?

My Steam Sale thread is up to a whopping 32 recommendations right now, give it a good look if you haven't already, you're sure to find something you like. I might even add more before the sale ends.
32. Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
Honestly don't think Sakuna gets anywhere near the praise it deserves, mixes a surprisingly engaging rice farming sim with 2.5D side-scrolling platformer and character action combat, but makes the gameplay styles work flawlessly.

“first they steal your culture, then they charge you to see it” — traditional curatorial proverb
Think Tristram Hunt is right (he almost always is when it comes to museums) a tourist levy is a much better solution, for the reasons he sets out well here:
Culture is a major tourist draw for the UK — let’s start charging to preserve it
Rather than introduce paid museum entry as the Louvre plans to do, a UK hotel tax should help fund our global collections

If you were a kid when VCR's were around you watched *every* movie you had a million times because you only had like a dozen movies to watch. Didn't matter if you didn't like em.

I want to write a report fully detailing the conditions in CECOT via curatorial journalism—there is so much people don't know—but I'll tell you honestly that writing my last three reports on this subject has broken my spirit. My health has been affected. This is the worst topic I've ever written on.

Happy #FossilFriday from this dinky Saurornitholestes tooth that I found in the Judith River Formation.
Now if only I could find a whole raptor attached to one of these someday.

Chaos Monster reporting for curatorial duty!
Rare book curators are either 1) chaos monsters with hoarded offices or 2) incredibly organized with a great attention to detail.

So trolls may pretend not to understand curatorial journalism, but when Trump deals with Turkey (Türkiye) it’s curatorial journalism that immediately cites past Trump-Turkey corruption—even as *corporate media* acts like Trump just discovered Turkey on the map for the first time.

Unlikely curatorial statements:
Curator Daffyd Wiliam on the historic urinals at The Vulcan, St. Fagans, at last night's Think While You Drink Event:
“Of the three and a half million items in the collection of the National Museum of Wales, this is the only one you can pee on.”
