Thomas Cole @thomas-cole.bsky.social · 17h
Distant View of Niagara Falls www.artic.edu/artworks/90048
The grandeur of Niagara Falls inspired 19th-century artists to celebrate the sublime power of the American landscape. Thomas Cole, the patriarch of the Hudson River School of painting, was already well known for his scenes of untamed wilderness when he completed Distant View of Niagara Falls in 1830. The potency of Cole’s image lies in its depiction of unspoiled nature. The work bears little resemblance to the terrain surrounding the falls, which was marked by factories, scenic overlooks, and hotels that accommodated the multitude of tourists who visited every year. Cole placed two Native American figures at center to emphasize the North American setting, further romanticizing this view of a resplendent wilderness that at the time faced real threats wrought by industrialization and conquest.

Oct 1st 1981 - After she became a deadite, Professor Knowby buried his wife in the cellar. 📽️📅 Evil Dead II (1987)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Evil Dead II" (1987): First, a man and woman stand in a dimly lit room, looking serious, with the subtitle "It's now October 1st, 4:33 PM." Second, the same pair appears with a concerned expression, the subtitle reads "Henrietta is dead. I could not bring." Third, they remain in focus, the subtitle continues with "myself to dismember her corpse. But I dragged her down the steps..." Fourth, a close-up of a vintage reel-to-reel tape recorder on a cluttered desk, with the subtitle "and I buried her. I buried her in the cellar."

There’s a chill in the air in today’s #autumn #OnlineArtExchange @artukdotorg.bsky.social We’ve chosen two autumnal oil paintings, rich in their seasonal golden hues.
A landscape painting of a person in a boat on a lake. Around the lake there are tall trees with orange leaves. The sun is low in the sky.A landscape painting of a person leading a cow down a curved dirt road. The road is surrounded by shrubbery and sparse trees. The sky has a golden hue.

Just me saying that any effort to tackle misinformation must be an attack on Reform, thereby admitting that Reform are helping Russia to spread far right narratives and create dissent and unrest.

This is not misinformation. That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation... This is none of those. This is full-on disinformation. Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱 🧵 1/10

Burnham's big migration plan: take 4,000 stranded migrants from Ceuta, bring them to the UK and put them up in luxury hotels. Americans look at Europe in despair. 

Express Headline: Burnham's migrant, Campbell, 1,000 stranded in Ceuta to be brought to UK. The Prime Minister proposes flying thousands of stranded migrants from Spanish enclave to Britain and housing them in London hotels.

Back when this was as fancy as ice-cream ever came. Artist: Kenneth Inns (1967)
A small illustration which originally took up only a quarter of the page. It shows a mother cutting in half a block of ice-cream in three layers. One layer is white, one pink and one an odd blue-green colour. Two young children look on with enthusiasm.
