TFW you realize in the longue duree historians will view the fall of the Soviet and US empires as basically taking place simultaneously

Vessels such as this were used in drinking parties. Since they didn't have a base, their contents had to be consumed before the vessel could be put down

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Tom Lehrer remains among the most insightful commentators on contemporary politics, which is saying something since he hasn't engaged in political commentary since 1972.

Hope he's enjoying his 97th (!) birthday.

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS

THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

Totally agree about NIN, Green Day Dookie, and Hole Live Through This. Another good (but not perfect) one…

DEVIL: You shall stay forever young, but this picture of you will bear the marks of your sin!
DORIAN: Can I hide it?
DEVIL: Well, yes, but—
DORIAN: And there are no other consequences?
DEVIL: This… This picture will become so foul!
DORIAN: Again, probably I’ll hide the picture.

Good riddance.

What's an insult you'll never forget?

Freaking love this city and all the people in it so much….a bunch of people went and turned the 4 train into the Polar Express giving out toys to kids along the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn….shoutout to the @newyorkers.live account on IG for doing this 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/DSnsvWS...

This city shaped a classic Christmas carol. Now Russia has destroyed it. Meet the history and politics of a world-famous Christmas song that started as Kyiv’s political message to the world a century ago. It sends the same message today.

The haunting Carol of the Bells song may be best known to Western audiences from the Christmas film Home Alone.

But it started as Kyiv's political message to the world a century ago — one that still resonates today.

James Webb Space Telescope confirms 1st 'runaway' supermassive black hole rocketing through 'Cosmic Owl' galaxies at 2.2 million mph: 'It boggles the mind!' "The forces that are needed to dislodge such a massive black hole from its home are enormous."

Space news is the best. Like, what do you mean there's a runaway supermassive black hole 10 million times bigger than the sun moving through space at 2 million miles per hour www.space.com/astronomy/bl...

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

I would like the phrase and concept of "common decency" to make a comeback

What fun. The seven minutes you didn’t know you needed.

The best feature of the house bar none. It was like throwing away your dirty laundry but getting it back clean somehow.

A long-lost Rubens painting depicting Crucifixion sells for $2.7 million A long-lost painting by Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens has sold for $2.7 million at an auction Sunday.

Having imagined what this painting would look like for years (based on the engraving), it is so amazing to see it come to light. Marvelous work, and given crazy art world prices for some works recently (Klimt), what a relative deal.
