Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his arms

Article screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

Home again after a holiday in Akaroa. Still one of my favourite places in the world.

View of Akaroa harbour. Moody clouds with blue sky peeking through, reflected in the water. Boats moored in the distance.

View of Akaroa harbour. Grass and a pohutukawa tree in the foreground. Water with boats moored in the distance, and hills in the background. Cloudy sky. The end of a jetty is visible to the right.

View of Akaroa harbour from the main jetty. Sunny blue sky with sparse cloud, and blue water beneath. Moored boats and a smaller jetty stretching out into the water, with the main part of town visible in the distance.

View from a boat of Nikau Bay near Akaroa. A small valley of Nikau palms with cliffs in front and tall hills behind. The sea water looks especially green.

I can't help but think that if, in 1945, you told people that the US and Israel would be the aggressors of WW3 you would have been laughed out of the room

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I am genuinely terrified everyone will forget, or has already forgotten, how different people were 15-20 years ago. Since then, all technological innovation has worked toward the goal of sapping human attention as a commodity and society is far worse for it.
