This year alone, New Yorkers have reported more than 188,000 incidents of domestic violence. That's 780 incidents every day. Countless others go unreported. If you or someone you love needs help, call 1-800-621-HOPE or visit on.nyc.gov/hotlinechat.

The way JD Vance says this, he is acting as if Abdul El-Sayed is an immigrant who should "show a little gratitude to the country that gave him everything." Once again, it should be pointed out that El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan.

#BlueskyArtShow #Lights "Chromosaturation MFAH," an immersive #ModernArt light installation by artist Carlos Cruz-Diez for the Kinder museum's tunnels. (See AltTxt) #AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLookingIn #ColorADay #ECK #Abstractia #Geometry #Architecture #Photography #UrbanGaze #Photographer
A photo of one part of Chromosaturation MFAH, a site-specific immersive light installation created by the pioneering Venezuelan kinetic artist Carlos Cruz-Diez for the underground tunnels filled with modern art under the Kinder Museum, part of the larger Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH). 

Via Google & the museum: "The artist's goal was to isolate color in its purest state as an active, physical event taking place in space without the need for form or a canvas. It is designed to act directly on the viewer's retina, triggering a deep psychological and physical reaction as the human brain struggles to process the intense, monochromatic chambers."

By walking through the monochromatic red, green, and blue chambers, viewers experience color directly through their retinas, changing how their eyes and brain perceive reality with every step.

Because the installation keeps changing & rotating colours, it becomes almost like a living, transforming art work.

Visually, this image shows a futuristic indoor tunnel with a curved, arched ceiling. The left side is bathed in vibrant red and orange light, while the right side glows in bright neon green. The smooth, glossy floor reflects these intense colors, creating a striking contrast down the middle.

Chrome-plated Art Deco cocktail set 

MFAH commentary:

Inspired by the Manhattan skyscraper, a quintessentially American invention, the tray’s stepped profile emulates the contours of high-rise buildings. The cocktail shaker towers over the glasses in imitation of the New York skyline.

No matter where you shop, you're getting screwed by Amazon. Amazon has found a way to make everything you buy - at Target, at a mom-and-pop shop, even direct from the manufacturer - more expensive. And they're not the only one: Expedia's done the same thing, but for hotel rooms.
