Did I just get back from a viewing at Bonhams auction house in NYC of cat-themed art? Why yes- yes I did. Did I take pictures, including of these Chinese ceramic cats from the Qing Dynasty? Also yes! Will I make a thread of some of them? Indeed I will, which will include...

"doesn't understand the appeal of patina" feels like neat summation of American aesthetics
A BBC story headline reads: "Worth $5M? Visitors react to renovated Washington horse statues." There are two photos. One from 2013 that shows the horse statues in their older, patina state. And one from 2026 that shows them covered in 23.75-karat gold leaf.

both are nice; I'd choose based on how the fans look with the rest of your furniture/overall style. to my eye, the first looks more transitional, the second more contemporary

Very worrying. DRC just reported 125 new confirmed Ebola cases in a single 24 hour period, right after passing 100 daily cases for the first time yesterday. The outbreak is accelerating, not just driven by more testing: 50% of all tests in Ituri were positive.

This happens once or twice a year in Union Square despite all the sewer work done in the last 6 or 7 years. That said, if they hadn't done the sewer work, there'd be like a foot of water in this intersection. (If you look just to the left of the that car, you'll see Gracie's.)

Yup. This has been incredibly gaslighting and frustrating to (leftist!) Jews who’ve been trying to say: hey, the online left sure is adopting a lot of Nazi memes and rhetoric about Jews and get told “you’re lying/Zionists because bigotry is incompatible with leftism.” It’s giving “real Christians”
