I can't take bad grammar in a jingle. I will never buy any products at Mattress Discounters because their jingle starts with "Lay on it/play on it. . ."

I find Gerome's "Snake Charmer" (1879) beautiful in spite of its overtly exploitative subject matter. It's all about the detailed calligraphy & decoration on the tiled walls of the interior. See "Orientalism: Between Fact and Fantasy" at the Met if you can. Small exhibit, with lots packed in.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

These posters do the most damage. They have fewer than a dozen posts, but leave mean, harassing, or intimidating comments all the time. Respectable outfits wouldn't allow anonymous accounts to leave comments.

L'Evenement is not the kind of paper his father (a banker) would have read. The painter likely made the choice to change the title of the paper to favor his friend Zola, who wrote for l'Evenement.

At the Smithsonian's natural History Museum, which houses the Hope Diamond. Along list of thieves and owners (from 1642 on) brought it to the United States in the early 20th c. Finally, Harry Winston donated the pared-down 45.5 carat diamond to the Smithsonian in 1958. It's insured for $250 million
