Death of Aeschylus is an oil painting that stars a bald man splayed on the floor, dressed in black and blue while draped in red satin. To his left, there is a dude seated in profile with his left hand in his hair and his left knee bent. A mustachioed brodalisque reclines on a beige sofa in a dark room draped with a gold curtain.

I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting.

The save act might very well, should be called ,bite the Republicans in the ass act.

Vance deleted a message referring to the 'Armenian genocide.' Here's why the phrase matters U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s team posted and then deleted a message on social media about the Republican’s visit to a memorial paying tribute to early 20th century Armenians killed by the Ottoman Em...

The issue was the post using the term "Armenian genocide," a designation the U.S. government historically has not used for what happened, with a notable exception by the Biden administration. The White House blamed a staff mistake. https://to.pbs.org/4cokNZU

i have absolutely no qualifications to evaluate the validity of this, but it would be very funny

Raise your proud hand in support of this, right here… 🤚

I have an idea:

Miller is so much of a national treasure that every Republican running in a swing district/state should invite him in to campaign for them.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg. The text says that in a country that amended its Constitution to ban alcohol and later reversed it, the U.S. could also pass an amendment clarifying that corporations are not people and money is not speech. Below the text is a photo of Buttigieg standing on a stage holding a microphone, speaking to an audience seated behind him.

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.

I vaguely recall documenting the event, but then experiences are worthy of time and space.

May I present Liam Odonnell's, Rourke Bickford's and Lucas Alves' contributions found today with Google Maps.

I know that, Earl's Court, one police box, and no tourists.

"60 Minutes" on Sunday aired its story about Trump administration deportations that was abruptly pulled from the newsmagazine's lineup a month ago, a move that had triggered an internal battle about political pressure that spilled out into the open. https://to.pbs.org/3LTEcqL

Ben Franklin's Birthday one good reason to celebrate.

Benjamin: This term is a nickname for the $100 bill, named after Benjamin Franklin, whose portrait appears on the bill. For example, someone might say, "I’ll pay you back with a Benjamin," indicating they will pay with a $100 bill.

Remember we would always see the “Patriot Front” jumping out of Uhauls, marching through towns? That stopped when ICE got started, I just can’t figure that out

Upset or nap?

How Lichens "Drink"
Lichens do not have roots; instead, they are like sponges, absorbing water over their entire surface area. They can soak up half their total water capacity in just a few seconds and can absorb moisture from various sources:
Rainfall
Dew
Fog
Moisture directly from the air

YouTube video by The Warning with Steve Schmidt Steve Schmidt: The White House version of "1984"

In its own version of "1984," the White House created a pathological narrative about what happened on January 6th. I sat down with Dean Blundell to talk about how, five years on, the coup rolls on, and what that means for the future of the United States and the world.

If there is any red colouring on the mushroom, that includes the stem, pores or cap, avoid as this can be the sign of a toxic Bolete. 3. Slice the mushroom in half vertically, if the flesh turns vivid blue quickly after or immediately on cutting, again avoid due to possible toxicity. https://www.mykoweb.com/articles/EatingRawMushrooms.html#:~:text=King%20boletes%20(Boletus%20edulis)%20are,in%20the%20hard%2Dbutton%20stage.

I found this old photo titled, "shrimp-fish on a tray, 2020, July." Remember communal food during Covid?

Guidelines varied by location, with many states and cities implementing business closures due to a summer surge in cases.

Workers pruning peach trees on a cold foggy day

It was in the low 40s with a light rain at 6:45am in Tulare County when "Rafa" sent us this pic from where he was pruning peach trees for min. wage. Peaches require skilled aggressive pruning and shaping to ensure the trees continue to produce quality fruit. #WeFeedYou

What a disgrace. Volodymyr Zelensky is a heroic defender of democracy. The Trump regime is a poisonous blight on our nation’s history.

Unfortunately, these low-information voters will continue dragging the rest of the country through the "find out" phase, unless we turn out the vote in the midterms and retake at least the House.

#Caturday "Let sleeping cats sleep."*

The face I wake up to every quiet morning. Let her sleep for my peace and quiet.

In cat-owner communities, it* is used to suggest that a resting cat should not be disturbed to avoid "murder mittens" (scratches) or simply out of respect for the cat's comfort.

I'm always amazed with the bounty of fungi found where least expected.

The magic of a painting is to ignore the tourists, well done.
