WHITNEY MUSEUM: Man, I can not wait to see the massive new Andy Warhol retrospective Andy Warhol — From A to B and Back Again. It's up at the Whitney now through March 31, 2019. Choice quote:

I was never embarrassed about asking someone, literally, “What should I paint?” because pop comes from the outside, and how is asking someone for ideas any different from looking for them in a magazine?

True, and so Warholian. Plus, it reminds me that when I was a kid I would ask my mom what to draw and she would say, “Flies.”

NYT: Mississippi voted 54/46 to send unapologetic racist Cindy Hyde-Smith to the Senate. But if there are any silver linings, the margin shows progress and she's only there until 2021, not a full, six-year term. Still, she's the stupidest motherfucker in the Senate, and that is saying a lot since many of those people think if it's cold outside today that means global warming is a hoax. P.S. Mississippi is ranked #50 among states in the area of education.
