I think people have done a remarkable amount with it, but there's only so many ways you can cut up the same three breaks.

Sorry, but if you're going to persist in sleeping in until late afternoon Australian time you're going to cop a bit of this.

This is from a very good article on the current state of the art world and deepish dive into the historical circumstances which led to this point. However, I strongly disagree with the author's frankly ridiculous statement that the art market is not to blame for the situation when everything he carelessly describes as "art" only exists within the narrow and corrupt confines of the elite galleries and institutions. It's like claiming the shitcoin market had nothing to do with the rise of FTX.

There is a lot of great art being bought and sold in the four and low-five figure range by honest and passionate people. What the public is sold as the "art world" has nothing at all to do with this and most people intuitively understand that what they're selling is not art, no matter how hard the media tries to gaslight them into accepting it.

Timely reminder that power is more important than profit to these people.

How much was Tucker worth to Fox, you ask? For reference, the dip last Wednesday followed the announcement they'd settled out of court with Dominion for nearly $800 billion.
