My real estate agent just told me if I needed anything to reach out. I asked him if I looked like a member of the Four Tops. His blank millennial expression made me a little sad. youtu.be/2EaflX0MWRo?...

Thomas Cooper Gotch painted many pictures of children holding lanterns through the 1920s and was often concerned with themes of childhood and adolescence. This evening parade seems not quite of this world; the faceless girls in white dresses leading seem somehow symbolic.

Before job centres existed, public librarians helped unemployed people find work by displaying the “situations vacant” columns inside their reading rooms or on noticeboards outside the library building. Ralph Hedley Seeking Situations (1904) On display at the Laing Gallery in Newcastle.

A painting showing men of various social classes clustered around newspapers on large wooden stands. A woman can also be seen looking at the stands. There is an impoverished-looking man, shabbily dressed, in the foreground. He is walking away from the stands, an air of desolation about him that suggests he has not found a suitable opening. The painting depicts the inside of the original New Bridge Street public library building in Newcastle.

When their priority is to make an execution public and not the Epstein files, it tells you everything you need to know.

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Every single time I posted political content with no exception I got a lot of hateful/angry comments on Instagram. Yesterday I posted about the student protests in France so I was kinda expecting some insults, and… Nothing. Just 200+ nice comments. I wonder if it could be connected to this.

In Farm Garden with Crucifix (1912), a rustic cross is nearly swallowed by a vibrant explosion of flowers. This blend of folk piety and decorative density was tragically lost in 1945, when the original was destroyed by a fire set by retreating SS forces.
