If we get rid of the death penalty, how will the Christians be able to execute Jesus again when he comes back and tells them that they have failed him and need to be more kind?

Also, I would note, proof positive that the information leaked is true: if it were made up nonsense, then there is no source, and you don't need to track it down. They're buffoons.

Two Comedians (1966) was Hopper's final canvas. It shows Hopper and his wife, Jo, on stage taking a bow. After decades spent spotlighting American life, he ends by stepping into the scene to say a quiet goodbye to the world he painted.

People of colour are nothing new to European society. Here's are some beautiful studies of a Flemish neighbour of Peter Paul Rubens from over 400 years ago, painted in around 1615.

The text explains that the dog is a trained truffle hound, finding truffles. The cat is not trained, just likes to dig holes with the dog, does not find or care about truffles.

17. Rejoin the EU. The majority of the country wants it. The majority of Europe wants it. EU leaders have said we could rejoin with the same opt-outs we'd negotiated before we left. It's costing the equivalent of £8000 per household per year in lost GDP. Nnnnnnng!!

And I want to clarify that I make that statement as a journalist. If someone who doesn't follow what's happening right now closely were to say that free elections in the fall feel impossible, you might accuse them of being Chicken Little. I am telling you what I assess based on reliable *evidence*.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying
