Ramaswamy made his money through a scam. That's not success; it’s corruption. This election is the big chance in our lifetime to do something about the people who think politics is just there to enable ever bigger personal grifts.

In September 1888 Van Gogh told Theo he wanted to paint men and women with that je ne sais quoi of the eternal. He symbolised this spiritual reality with halos of light and the vibrancy of his colours.

The Portrait (1935) shows a table setting of wine, cutlery, and a slice of ham with an eye at its center. The image turns the meal into a portrait, suggesting that the viewer is somehow watched by, or through, what they consume. #artbots #magritte

In the 19th century, industrial chemists invented new synthetic pigments—chrome yellow, cobalt blue, emerald green. By the 1880s, Van Gogh seized their brilliance, swapping the browns of his peasant scenes for blazing color and fierce contrast.

In The Menaced Assassin (1927), Magritte draws on imagery associated with the 1913 Fantômas film and turns it into Surrealist theatre. Bowler-hatted men with a net and club flank a doorway, and the painting preserves its mystery rather than resolving it. #artbots #magritte

#ResistanceRoots Johnny Appleseed was born on this day in 1774 in Leominster, Province of Massachusetts Bay. He was a real person, and he planted a lot of apple trees, but he mainly sold them to make hard cider. He was also a pacifist, altruistic, revered nature and respected Indigenous tribes. /1

Johnny Appleseed. The romanticized image of Johnny Appleseed handing out sweet, shiny apples for children to bite into is a myth popularized much later. In the 1800s, the American frontier ran on alcohol. Water supplies weren’t safe to drink. Because fermenting killed off pathogens, hard cider became the primary daily beverage for entire families — even children. The average frontier settler drank 10.5 ounces of hard cider per day. Because Appleseed refused to graft trees due to his religious beliefs, his apples were genetically unpredictable, small and bitter. Known as “spitters” because you’d spit them out if you tried to eat them raw, these tart apples were perfect for pressing into hard cider. Resourceful frontier families used them for other staples as well, including apple butter, applesauce and livestock feed, and used a process called “freeze distillation” to make applejack. Note, however, that Appleseed rarely sold apples. He sold the young saplings and the land itself.

Hopper's first sale was Sailing (1911), an oil painting purchased for $100 at the 1913 Armory Show. The show was a breakthrough for modern art in America and gave Hopper early visibility in a country still learning how to see the new.
