Of course. The Supreme Court kicked off its new term today by hearing oil companies’ attempt to throw out a lawsuit seeking to make them pay for climate damage they caused. The outcome could determine whether similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties across the country can move forward.

Don’t Tell Me What To Do by Nataliya Bagatskaya
Acrylic on Canvas

A woman with bright, textured reddish-orange hair stands centrally facing the viewer. She is wearing a striking gothic-style dress consisting of a fitted, high-necked black bodice with lace-up corset details down the chest and sleeves, flowing into a dramatic open-front overskirt that reveals a voluminous, pleated floor-length white underskirt.

The Cats: Three black cats are included in the scene, adding a mysterious and independent atmosphere to the piece:
	• One cat is on the left, standing on its hind legs stretching up against a set of classic paneled double doors.
	• A second cat rests calmly on top of a tall, dark, vintage radiator on the right.
	• A third cat is depicted inside the framed poster on the wall, directly above the radiator.

Awa odori dancer. Japan.
Captured in a striking monochromatic portrait, a female dancer (odoriko) of the Awa Odori stands poised under the steep, sculptural curve of a woven straw hat (amigasa). Deep shadows cast by the braided reed brim frame her quiet, focused profile, highlighting her composed expression and serene intensity amid the festival energy. The stark contrast between her dark-trimmed collar, tied tasuki cord, and folded kimono brings out the crisp geometry and grace of her traditional attire. The photograph evokes a vivid, immersive sensory atmosphere: the resonant clang of kane gongs, the deep thrum of taiko drums, and the rhythmic melody of shamisen echoing through a humid Tokushima summer night, punctuated by the sharp clatter of wooden geta sandals on stone and the pure, contemplative spirit of the dancer frozen in time.   Originating in Tokushima Prefecture, the Awa Odori is one of Japan’s most celebrated Bon Odori folk dance festivals, carrying a rich heritage that spans more than four centuries. Renowned for its lively anthem—"Odoru ahō ni miru ahō, onaji ahō nara odoranya son son" ("Dancers are fools and onlookers are fools, so if both are fools, you might as well dance!")—the festival brings together performing troupes (ren) to parade through the city streets. The iconic costume of the female dancers (josei-odori), defined by the distinctive steep-angled amigasa hat, tucked kimono, and high-stepped wooden geta, presents a harmonious synthesis of folk exuberance and courtly aesthetic discipline.

Created by modern Nihonga painter Yu Miyazaki (宮崎優), this work offers a contemporary continuation of the celebrated bijinga (paintings of beautiful women) tradition.
Cradled securely in her arms, a tuxedo cat with striking emerald eyes gazes outward while a young woman with a sleek, dark bob looks down at her feline companion with quiet affection. She wears a striking kimono patterned in bold, rhythmic stripes of deep navy blue, warm mustard yellow, and rich crimson, its folds wrapping loosely around the cat's soft white chest and paws. Behind them, translucent paper shōji panels set within a warm wooden frame filter the ambient daylight, establishing a serene, traditional interior backdrop. The painting radiates an intimate sensory atmosphere: the soft, rhythmic purr vibrating against heavy woven silk, the gentle warmth of a sunlit room, the faint scent of polished wood and fresh paper, and the cozy, unhurried tranquility of a shared afternoon.   Created by modern Nihonga painter Yu Miyazaki (宮崎優), this work offers a contemporary continuation of the celebrated bijinga (paintings of beautiful women) tradition. The vibrant striped motif (shima-moyo) of the kimono echoes the casual, urban fashion popularized during the Taishō and early Shōwa eras, often associated with versatile meisen silk weaves. Miyazaki's process exemplifies the meticulous spirit of traditional monozukuri (artisanal mastery), utilizing classical Nihonga techniques where natural mineral pigments (iwa-enogu), crushed shells, and earth tones are bound with animal hide glue (nikawa) on handmade paper. The ultra-fine line work—rendering every delicate strand of hair, the soft texture of the cat's fur, and the precise geometric symmetry of the textile stripes—bridges centuries-old Japanese painting traditions with a fresh, modern sensibility.
