TIL, via the @danaschwartz.bsky.social podcast Noble Blood, that Peter Weller (aka RoboCop) is also a historian of Italian Renaissance Art and I'm so shook I can't even come up with a good joke about it.

Literal YES, QUEEN. Love listening to @danaschwartz.bsky.social

Screenshot of Noble Blood podcast about Cyrus the Great and its “information” page reading as follows:

Cyrus the Great of Persia wanted to conquer the Massengetae people and, through cunning, he killed the son of their warrior-queen, Tomyris. It was a bad move.

"do audio books count??" what are you even talking about. count for what. read books with your eyes or listen to them, who is keeping score. enjoy a great story, entertain yourself, feel inspired, pass the time. art is not meant to be a competition with an imaginary score-keeper.

Paintings featuring Agnes Sorel with a breast exposed were using her as a model for a classic type of painting known as a "Madonna Lactans," or "Nursing Madonna" -- paintings featuring Mary nursing the infant Jesus.

I've seen a fun fact going around the internet that Agnes Sorel had her dresses specifically tailored to expose her favorite boob. Unfortunately, that seems like an unsourced misconception.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

there is a troublingly large collection of movie where an adult woman falls in love with the joie de vivre of a man with the mental state of a child, and, as an adult woman, I can tell you that a childlike state of wonder combined with an inability to do basic tasks is not actually an aphrodisiac

Elf is a great movie, and one of the most recent additions to the canon of iconic christmas movies, but I cannot get onboard with the love story. that man has the energy and vibe of a child and zooey deschanel should not be fucking him!!!

this is so meaningless, but the "you can do anything" "I know" exchange from WICKED that they used in the trailers and in the Oscar montage is NOT IN THE MOVIE!!! They cut two different scenes together! The "I know" is from the middle of the dialogue part of Defying Gravity! trailer fraud!

seems like one of those "personal liberties" he's such a fan of would be letting writers write whatever opinions they want?

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

I love the slightly desperate ads for Better Man that completely hide the fact that the main character is portrayed as a CGI monkey and I love imagining someone going to see it and having no idea

a poster for better man but the only figure is tiny

a poster for better man, with the main character seen only from behind. Is he a human man? probably! why wouldn't he be.
