@kangaroo5383 to reduce it to the base, what kind of person, having a billion dollars, wouldn’t use it to eliminate malaria or house every homeless person in America or pay off all medical debt or or or… I just don’t know what else to call that.

@kangaroo5383 sorry but we have plenty of evidence that money does change people. Rich people are—almost necessarily—surrounded by sycophants who keep them from hearing hard truths, and their money keeps them from encountering anything uncomfortable. There’s something to what you say in that you […]

I just moved the router in my home network to another physical location, and it was dead simple thanks to the work I’d done labeling which Ethernet port on the switch corresponds to which in the wall. Good job me!

This afternoon I rode my bike to Biidaasige Park to see the new sculpture by Kent Monkman, one of my favourite Canadian artists. “The Colony” is just a delight. It’s a group of giant beavers all engaged in different activities —playing music, dancing, bringing […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

Photo of a bronze sculpture featuring a cutaway three-story beaver lodge, full of beavers engaging in creative activities — reading, making food, praying, gossiping, making music and love.

Starting—starting!—to figure out pizza in the new place. Different flour, different tomatoes and cheese, different (electric!) oven, different mixer… but we’re getting there. #pizzursday #pizza #baking #sourdough

A Neapolitan style pizza with spots of mozzarella and large pepperoni. The crust isn’t exactly leoparded but it’s browning in a way that’s not dissimilar.

And finally a twofer. Here we do have foot eyes, hand eyes, and some really lovely color that is still vivid after 800 years. Expand the full image, it rewards close attention. #ArtHistory

Another chapel interior. The central figure is a seated Christ. He’s surrounded by many angels, only two of which are our fellas. There is also a bird-headed woman and a woman-headed bird flanking him.

An angel with all the trimmings. This one has a more naturalistic face than what we’ve been seeing.

A similar angel but looking the other way. We see one wrist eye.

This is the first one to show a little ankle, which I’m surprised doesn’t have any eyes on it. Strange oversight. #ArtHistory

Another chapel interior, this one larger. There’s central figure is the infant Christ on the Virgin’s lap.

A six-winged angel, eyes on wings and hands. His legs are visible from the knee down, with no eyes visible.

Intermission. I don’t know if this dog is biblically accurate or what but I bet he inspired Picasso. Or maybe Hideaki Anno. #ArtHistory

This one is much more cheerful, presumably because he has his biblically accurate doggy with him. #ArtHistory

This one seems less than pleased with his situation. Perhaps the censer he’s holding is chafing his hand eyeball. #ArtHistory

Another chapel interior. There’s a large central Jesus figure, flanked by saints and angels.

Another six winged angel. He’s got a glum expression. He has even more eyes, including some on his inner wrists. He’s holding a censer in one hand.

Your classic biblically accurate angel. Six wings, too many eyes. It’s what it says on the tin. #ArtHistory

The interior of a restored chapel, furnished with fragmentary religious murals.

An angelic figure with six wings: two up, two down, one to either side. The wings are covered with eyes. The lower ones cover the angel like a cloak. There are also eyes on its outstretched palms.

A brief thread of biblically accurate angels from the National Art Museum of Catalonia’s Romanesque church mural collection. These murals were painted in the 1100-1200s, and stripped from their churches for conservation in the 1970s. #ArtHistory

My eclipse photos are pretty garage—90 seconds is not much time to figure out how your phone camera works!—but it was incredible to see with the naked eye and I recommend it heartily.

RE: mastodon.social/@nancycomics/116966… For all that Nancy is (rightly) lauded for breaking convention, this strip is a great example of how Bushmiller’s complete dedication to four panels hurts him. The gag would’ve been better with three panels, and possibly even two.

I went to a yoga class in French tonight and did not know what the fuuuuck was going on. It was kind of a nostalgic throwback to the first years of yoga where I’d spend a lot of time looking around trying to figure out what “artichandrasana” meant, but now it’s « coudes bien serrés » instead.
