Vincent van Gogh @vangogh.bsky.social · 17/04/2026
Van Gogh painted one of art history's most beautiful works, and never got to see the person it was made for. In February 1890, he received a letter. What he created next became a symbol of springtime renewal that still moves millions today. 🧵👇 #artbots #vangogh
A portrait of a man with a reddish beard, wearing a light blue jacket, against a swirling blue-green background, capturing intense emotion.

Misogyny killed Monica many years before she died
When poor Monica Coghlan died in a car crash last week, it was a result both pitiful and inevitable. The rightful order had been restored. Justice had been done. Her sad, brief life was over: she had ...

He'd quoted Gladstone as saying "whenever the Irish question looks like it's going to be solved... the Irish change the question." A boy called Slater raised his hand and politely pointed out that it wasn't Gladstone but a line from 1066 and All That and Archer completely and embarrassingly lost it

"How dare you ... a schoolboy... question me the former Deputy Chairman of the Conservative party." We all left and were a little chastened and then Slater rang the Independent and gave the story to the diary column.

[A parody of MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD, in which the kindly Mr Rogers takes us to see local things in his town.]
 
1
[title]
MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD

MR ROGERS:

Hi there

2
Today, I’d like to take you to visit some of my neighbours… 

[He puts his coat on to leave his house]  

3
At a wonderful local event,
 
[We see the cute toy-town diorama of his village famous from the TV show. The camera pulls out…]

4
The Data Center protest.

[The camera has pulled out further and now we see a huge DATA CENTER at the edge  of town]. 

5
MR ROGERS [joining a crowd protesting outside the Data Center]:

The Data Center is an enormous, windowless, endlessly humming building outside of our town

6
…Which has tripled energy prices, drank all the water, and created four jobs.

7
[to camera, as if kindly explaining to the viewing children]:

Four jobs! Golly!

8
LADY PROTESTOR [probably NAOMI KLEIN, holding a sign]:

In a way, the Data Center is kind of a vivid metaphor for a future we feel locked out of!

9
MR ROGERS [to camera again]:

A metaphor.

10
That’s something that lets us clarify our feelings about something else. 

11
LADY PROTESTOR:
How do you feel, Mr Rogers?

MR ROGERS:
I feel like bringing down the government!

12
MR ROGERS [now holding a sign and protesting]:

It’s good to have neighbors.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Trust me, as a UK resident who lived through the madness of the Conservatives' "Reign of Terror" (Brexit, Truss, Boris...) & given by a free ride from most of the media & saw Labour return, if and when the Dems return, their policies will be picked over like vultures on a gazelle carcass.
