So excited to hoist my first Emmy!! Not mine, of course. It belongs to superstar Kirsten Johnson (she was robbed of an Oscar) for her documentary Dick Johnson is Dead #RIPDickJohnson . See it. It cannot be described.

via @NYTOpinion “Harbingers of failure.” One of the great insights of 2020 so far. People who like watermelon Oreos and Cheetos lip balm tend to like other failures and live near each other. I almost thought this was satire.

Some people have a knack for buying products that flop, supporting political candidates who lose and moving to neighborhoods that fail to thrive.

@EyalWeizman of brilliant Forensic Architecture targeted as “security risk” and barred entry to US for an exhibition in Miami. Shocking. Desperate. Sad.

Eyal Weizman, the director of the investigative group, said an embassy official in London told him an algorithm had identified a security threat that was related to him.

$32B of financial aid at 4yr PUBLIC universities goes to those with no financial need, @newamerica reports. That's 40% of all financial aid. Time to end the focus on merit-based enrollment mgmt practices?
theeduledger.com
A new report says that as universities chase high rankings and future donors, financial aid money is all too often allocated to students who don’t really need it.

Must read: the brilliant @michellemfisher's "call to arms" around labor, equity, inclusion, parenting, and museum culture.
hyperallergic.com
To argue for basic human rights seems to be only acceptable when spoken of by artists in museum galleries, but not by the art workers whose labor underpins such projects.
