Crusade of the crossroaders
The best way to kill the cars is
to let them disappear
at the crossings
you make a cross
which becomes a crossroad
which becomes a round about
the traffic circle is a trap
the cars drive into the spiral
get smaller and smaller
and vanish in one point

Don't know much about Friedensreich Hundertwasser but was taken by this little book of his art, and especially this art and commentary on cars.

Haiti's Winter Olympics team shines a positive light even as IOC removes patriot from uniforms
Haiti is making a statement at the Milan Cortina Winter Games with two athletes proudly representing the nation.
The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haitiโs uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

#OtD 6 Feb 1916 the Cabaret Voltaire nightclub opened in Zรผrich, Switzerland. Described as "history's wildest nightclub" it was the spiritual home of the often radical Dada art movement, formed by artists revolted by the capitalist carnage of WWI stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1060...

The Torment of Saint Anthony, or The Temptation of Saint Anthony (c. 1487โ88), a painting attributed to Michelangelo. A bearded St. Anthony in black garb is accosted mid-air by a swarm of demons, which look like grotesque winged chimeras. Some are mostly fish-bodied with elephant-like trunks. Others are are more humanoid in form, but have horns, claws, green or red skin, and an overall Boschian appearance. This painting is an oil and tempera adaptation of an earlier engraving by Martin Schongauer. Historical records indicate that Michelangelo produced such a copy. Although there is physical evidence indicating that this specific painting is the copy Michelangelo himself made, such as characteristic cross hatching, not all experts agree.

When Love Thy Neighbor Is a Cry of Resistance
Today marks one full year for this newsletter, and here's the 77th post (I thought once a week was going to be a lot, but there's so much going on I wrote almost 1.5 times a week over the past year). ...
At the very heart of the conflict raging in the United States is a conflict about human nature, a deep moral and philosophical conflict. I believe the isolationists will lose in the long run because they are not only out of step with the majority but they are out of step with reality....

My daily news diary for January, including:
An IU Trident
A price tag
An empty vaccine syringe
Three X logos
A bag of money
A peace protest sign
A shattered ice cube
Rama Duwaji's pointy black boot
A Venezuelan flag
A memorial candle for Renee Good
An outline of Greenland
A taco
The Federal Reserve building
A Golden Globe
An oil tanker
A steak
A champagne bottle
An Iranian flag
A graduation cap
A trans pride heart
A cell phone with text thread
Macron's sunglasses
A thermometer and tear gas
Liam Ramos's fuzzy hat
Alex Pretti's hat and sunglasses
Bovino's coat
A Ring doorbell
A snow shovel
An airplane
A wind turbine
A stack of file boxes
A protester holding an ICE OUT sign
To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day.
One month in, and it feels like I've already sewn a year's worth of news. But it helps me make sense of it all, so I think I can manage 11 more.

Bridget the cat infiltrates the 'Abbey Road' cover shoot and becomes THE definitive fifth Beatle.
THREAD.
My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
I've collected his work here...

A surreal oil painting, framed in a glossy dark stained wood frame. Its palette is primarily golds, olives, and earthy browns. A model in a boat-like cloak, hovers upon a tiny wheel in the center of a strange showroom, the tailor behind her in the dead center of the image. Two other models are entering the room on the right, each in surreal, cloaked costume, while a customer sits on a couch to the left, inspecting the goods. Two ghostly versions of her sit to either side of her, engraved into the paint, also observing.
Art for today, from the MFA in Boston. Remedios Varoโs Tailor for Ladies, 1957. Spectacular to experience in person, and see the way the ghostly figures to either side of the client on the couch are scratched into the surface. Varo used moon-activated crystals to etch detail into her work.

I loved college! So much to explore.
1. Flora of the Berkshires
2. History of the Native People of America
3. Surrealism
4. Camus
5. Color Theory
After I graduated, I did a three week intensive for fun, traveling though Greece on a bus for an Archeology of Ancient Greece summer class. Amazing.

This trend is giving me life. College is cool, knowledge is great. The liberal arts is rad. Being well rounded is the GOAT.
Fund all colleges and universities. We should be throwing money at them. Make it affordable for all. Let people take underwater basket weaving if they choose.

An altered scene from the Tintin book, Cigars of the Pharaoh, with a row of hooded figures sitting along a table, with the logos of Trump's Board of Peace. A speech bubble from the central figure, saying in French: 'Brothers, I declare the inaugural meeting of the new Board of Peace open. We must alas remain masked, certain among us still being wanted for war crimes.'
