my only regret is that that Dick Cheney isn’t alive to be mad about this

This striking image was originally commissioned by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) and appeared as a full-page advertisement in the February 21, 1944 issue of Life magazine. This rare example of Hopper’s commercial work blends fine art with wartime industrial promotion, showcasing a bold red streamlined locomotive, timeless architectural geometry, and figures poised for departure. It remains one of the few intersections of Hopper’s iconic realism and American advertising history.

Edward Hopper :
American Locomotive, 1944

Hopper’s American Locomotive captures a moment of quiet anticipation at a train platform—rendered in his unmistakable style of stark light, stillness, and emotional distance.

James Madison was the author of Constitution, but as President failed to protect Washington DC from invading Canadians. By deterring a Canadian invasion with his manly parade, Donald Trump supersedes Madison as our chief source of law.

I wish I could claim it as an original. But as a fan of both steam locomotives and the New Haven in particular, it seemed a proportional reaction

Star Wars Intro Scroll Episode IV It Was All So Stupid Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

What a horrible day to have eyes

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

You don't want to skip the emotional journey of learning how to create. That's what life is truly about!

My three-year-old was reading the Atlantic when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why did the nice tattoo man send national security secrets to a reporter?" And when I told her "Because it was 11 am and he was four gin-and-tonics deep," she started crying.

How I feel reading the headlines these days:

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Opinion | I believe in an America that is strong, proud, and not afraid to be unabashedly masculine. Now excuse me while I go apologize to Dear Leader for accidentally disagreeing with him in a Tweet.

That’s more like it.

A lightbulb appears over a man's head indicating that he has an idea. Suddenly two more lighbulbs pop up. Then several more, much to the man's dismay. He is being chased by an infinitely spawning field of lightbulbs. Another man comments "he took the cartoon Adderall." another man squints his eyes and says "foolish lad."
