Can’t believe Twitter is so upset about the fact that Hans Kristan Graebener is the right wing cartoonist stonetoss. I thought the platform was for free speech 😂

We're celebrating Liza Minnelli's birthday with a special tribute featuring 19 drawings of her by Al Hirschfeld across her extraordinary career on the stage and screen! What's your favorite #LizaMinnelli performance?

Questioning the value of my @AAAnews membership when I been waiting on the side of a highway for more than 2 hrs when they told me my situation put me “on the top of the list”. I’m near a major city on a nice day. #AAAFail

The leadership wants us to believe they haven't removed anything and the collection on display hasn't changed. We know that's not true. Several pieces from the Worden Gallery have been conspicuously absent - no "out for maintenance card", nothing. Just an empty spot in the dust.

Sad to see a museum like @MutterMuseum reduced to showing photos of the unhoused that any institution could do, while doing away w/ exhibits & displays (& videos) that make the Mutter unique. Kate Quinn, the Elizabeth Holmes of museums, is at it again. inquirer.com/life/mutter-mu…

@nypl_lpa Here are three to choose from: Channing, merman, and Bailey alhirschfeldfoundation.org/piece/david-me…

Sixty years ago, Hello, Dolly! hit Broadway. The show became one of the most iconic Broadway musical theater pieces of all time, earning 10 Tony Awards after its 1964 debut. Here are a couple of well known Dolly's: Carol Channing and Pearl Baily. Who is your favorite Dolly?

This is a good question. I was interviewed for this story which ended up being very mild and while I hope it is just a site error, without any explanation it feels like a takedown. @WHYYNews should do better.

If you want to see me in the wild. From a recent exhibition I organized in Mexico.

Not here much anymore, but I checked in today & saw lots of birthday salutes to Marion Davies. @backlotsfilm has probably seen this, but the @AlHirschfeld foundation posted a detail of this drawing & and I thought Lara should see the whole thing #result_info_7367" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">alhirschfeldfoundation.org/piece/tillie-t…

We at Protect the Mütter have been wondering what a Mütter Christmas Carol might look like. Here's what we came up with...

@die_corrientes @MrChuckD Waiting for your Hirschfeld phase

I am in a Mc Escher /Edward Hopper phase

@megmcsweeney @RepBrianFitz If he solved that problem it would be his first.

So @RepBrianFitz co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus voted for Jordan for Speaker on both votes. What problem does it solve to have a chaos agent running the House?
