John Boorman as John Hurt as John Boorman talks to a bog person and The Green Man, then goes to the home of his neighbour, Garech Browne, who keeps the death masks of all his friends on the wall and at one point levitates to pipe music. Would be nice to see a copy that isn't, well, this one.

This is the most ancient of memes, back from when we used a template reminiscent of those old motivational posters. There is a picture of a tabby cat with a Game Boy photoshopped into its paws. Its mouth and eyes are wide with excitement. Another cat, a black and white one, peers at the screen. Text at the top reads: "LET ME SHOW YOU MY POKEMANS". The image is surrounded by a black border, and at the bottom "MY POKEMANS" is written again in big white caps. Smaller text under that reads: "Let me show you them." 

Thems were the days.

"Our serpents, let us show you them!"
'Orestes Pursued by the Furies' by John Singer Sargent, 1921. 

An oil painting of a scene from Greek mythology depicting The Furies, a tangled group of angry ladies in sheer robes with flaming hair, holding equally flaming torches. In their other hand they each have a fistful of snakes ready to strike. They aggressively thrust the snakes towards Orestes, as he runs from them, his head down, naked, attempting to protect his head with his arms.

Description from: https://most-famous-paintings.com/en/art/info/john-singer-sargent-orestes-pursued-by-the-furies-8BWT2H-en/

"The scene unfolds with a dramatic intensity. A group of figures – including Orestes himself, rendered with a raw vulnerability – are caught in the throes of pursuit. The red background isn’t merely a backdrop; it pulsates with an almost violent energy, amplifying the sense of urgency and reflecting the fiery wrath of the Furies. Sargent's realism is particularly evident in his attention to detail: the strained expressions on the faces, the subtle gestures of fear and desperation, the textures of clothing and skin. He doesn’t shy away from portraying the physical toll of this relentless chase. “Orestes Pursued by the Furies” draws upon a rich vein of Greek mythology. Orestes, son of Agamemnon, is haunted by the ghosts of his murdered father and grandfather, relentlessly pursued by the Furies – goddesses of vengeance who embody retribution for crimes against family. This narrative speaks to universal themes of guilt, justice, and the consequences of violence."

Alt: David Bowie as Phillip Jeffries having a breakdown in TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME. He is sitting at a desk, wearing a Hawaiian shirt under a white suit. His blonde hair is in a quiff. He is surrounded by 3 other men in black suits (David Lynch, Kyle MacLachlan and Miguel Ferrer). They are looking down at him with concern and perhaps a little confusion as he shouts: "Hell God Baby Damn No!"

THE SIN, Julio Romero de Torres, 1914.
Description from The Julio Romero de Torres Museum:

"The scene unravels with a green sunset with the Almodóvar Castle in the background; in the foreground, the Chruch of Saint Hipólito in Córdoba and the beauty of the nude woman, lying down in a similar way to the Velázquez Venus, back-turned indifferent to the scene that is taking place before her. Four old gossiping women dressed for mourning argue about the convenience and occasion of the sin. The honor of this woman is the object of an animated conversation among them."

One of the old women has a sterner face than the other three, who seem to be delighting in the gossip, all facing her as though all talking at the same time. She, on the other hand, stares straight at the viewer as though judging them, too. She holds up a round mirror in front of the young reclining woman, in which a reflection of her indifferent, almost amused face can be seen. She doesn't give a fuck.

Ocean Photographer of the Year Winner Julian Anton’s photo of a male seahorse and two new-borns.
Black and white photo by Julian Anton of “An adult seahorse pictured with newly born juveniles in the shallow seaweed-filled waters of Moorea, French Polynesia. Although they are unlikely to be related, their arrangement creates the impression of a farewell, as if the tiny seahorses are gathering around a father after he has released them into the world. Seahorses are now rare in French Polynesia so this image was the result of long hours of searching among the seaweed.”

The paintings of Amedeo Modigliani prophesied the 21st century culture wars with alarming accuracy. For example, here's Graham Linehan.
This is a painting by Amedeo Modigliani from 1916, not of comedy writer and raging transphobe Graham Linehan, but of a man called 'Monsieur Deleu'. The figure possesses the artist's signature elongated form. M. Deleu is seated with his head tilted to one side, one eyebrow raised, his small lips pursed. He's judging you. He knows more than you. He is wearing a bright orange jacket and a fruity little white necktie, which would be delightful, were it not for the Hitler hair.
