> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Did the filing say how much they think will be raised in new donations once Trump’s name is taken off? Donno. But people will come back in droves. Trump can’t even get 3rd rate acts to his yuge ‘celebration’. Everyone knows that being associated with him is gonna ruin their career (and most of those folks are playing county fairs). Everything he touches… ---

> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > It’s an interesting practical question but even to my non-lawyer eyes, it seems to be irrelevant to the legal basis for a stay or appeal. To my non-lawyerly eyes, It immediately strikes me as a bad-faith argument. To cite the donations that would be lost, and not the new ones that would be gained, is conspicuously lacking in relevant facts. Which made me curious what the lawyerly answer is. Do lawyers preparing an official court filing have an obligation to present a full financial argument, or just half of one? (Yes, I know in this case that it’s irrelevant bullshit, but humor me.) ---

I don’t think that it’s hard to interpret why artists backed out and Trump wants to close it for two years. It’s because he put his name on it an NOBODY wants to be associate with that… thing. It’s also because of Trumps toadys being the board of directors. As usual, they haven’t a clue what they are doing. Maybe they can book the Partridge Family. Or the Bradys. ---

Speaking of donors, the Washington National Opera is hemorrhaging donors because they don’t want the Kennedy Center to steal the funds. As they’ve already been doing. > **[Washington National Opera Takes Kennedy Center to Court Over Disputed Funds —...](https://www.onstageblog.com/onstage-blog-news/2026/6/13/washington-national-opera-takes-kennedy-center-to-court)** > > The WNO-Kennedy Center split just got a lot messier.

I did not mean to disparage the Partridges or the Cowsills by suggesting they would play for Trump. ---

You should check it out if you like sixties pop music. I’ve already attended a Cowsills performance – back in the 1960s, when they were still hot, having just released _Indian Lake_. It was at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. And, yes, I’m that old. ---

I love this comment on the Trump people trying to use hydrogen peroxide to solve their alfae crisis: > Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae… > > Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration? > **[Critics Pounce On Trump's Algae-Filled Reflecting Pool As Officials Race To...](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/national-mall-reflecting-pool-algae-donald-trump_n_6a31dc61e4b07f7766ed245d?origin=home-latest-news-unit)** > > Trump can't be happy that tourists can't see his handpicked "American flag blue" paint. It’s been argued that Trump’s painting the reflecting pool blue has actually made the problem worse. It’s like the way he handled Iran. Now that the algae knows that it can blockade the Reflecting Pool, it knows that it can charge us to keep it clear. We’re worse off than we were before we started he War on Algae. And not a word about the Algae giving up its enriched uranium. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae… (Quote of Cal’s quote) - I’ve also read that, if you’re going to treat algae with hydrogen peroxide, you need to do it at night, as UV rays cause it to break down into water and oxygen (hence why it is sold in dark brown bottles). ---
