The painting "Night in the Steppe" shows a vast plain under a bright full moon, the light being distributed over the landscape and the water in an almost magical way.

This work is made by the renowned Ukrainian artist Ivan Marchuk, who invented the unique painting style called "plyontanism" (from the Ukrainian word plyontaty, meaning "to braid"). This technique consists of hundreds of fine, intertwined lines that create depth and an almost textile-like texture.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Good night

yeah like I Bet On Losing Dogs is a great pull that always gets me upset but Elliott Smith is too easy

ok Between the Bars doesn’t count, everyone cries to that

I will also take two millions of dollars because I’m gracious like that

no I get it, singing along with Romans 10:9 at the mountain goats show was like this too

We’re going to build the hyperreal simulacrum so much, you may even get tired of the simulacrum! You’re going to say “Please Mr. Baudrillard, I have a headache. Please, don’t simulate so much. This is getting terrible.” And I’m going to say “No, we have to build the hyperreal simulacrum.” You’re gonna say “Please.” I said “Nope, nope. We’re gonna keep building the simulacrum.”

someone else said it first and I had a physical reaction

This will go down in history with My Lai, Kent State, and Czechoslovakia 1968.

Killing little girls at a school in our name. What a dirty and war criminal government we have. They must face consequences. We must work to make them face consequences.

An image of a quotation from Marcus Aurelius' MEDITATIONS which reads: "52. You are not compelled to form an opinion about this matter before you, not to disturb your piece of mind at all. Things in themselves have no power to extort a verdict from you." Beneath the quote, diagonal pink type has been applied which reads; Marcus Aurelius has already released you from the obligation to have a take

I keep seeing so many people on social media obsessed with having a take, in times of crisis. Hell, I've done it too. But remember: You DON'T have to have one.

It's ok to say I have no idea. Also, see image:

this happens every so often!
