Famed Golden Toilet—With A Trump Connection— Fetches $12.1 million A golden toilet and several Gustav Klimt artworks fetched a combined $404.5 million at auctions Tuesday night.

An update on the notorious 'America' artwork (not a fan of Cattelan's).
Apparently another one was cast after the theft, and was sold at auction yesterday for 'a mere' 12.1M USD. And apparently, it did have a Trump connection. Not bothered to investigate this any further.

I have two sketches in @getsmart2025.bsky.social’s online charity auction, should you be interested in bidding. It’s for a very worthy cause that’s close to my heart.

Feast your eyes on this beauty before it goes under the hammer tomorrow, 19 Nov., at Sotheby's NY.

Charlie Hammond of 19, Cleveland St. (N of Oxford St.), was a 15-to-17-yr-old male brothel-keeper.
Other male brothels were located in Fitzroy St.

(info taken from Jerry White's 'London in the 19th Century', Vintage, 2008, p. 320)

V. interesting & good luck with it.
Comparing figures for 1857 and 1841, the total no. of brothels had gone down from 3,325 to 2,825, the total no. of prostitutes known to the police from 9,409 to 8,600.

I beg to differ. Having submitted myself to watch both episodes, and much as I like #TomDaley, the 'show' is thoroughly tedious, lethargic judges included (does this format too require a crying one, as with TGPTD's Keith Brymer Jones?). And those poor dogs in episode 2 looked humiliated.

James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth.

Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES.

Write to your MP (UK) or Congressperson (US) and tell them you want to see replacement of animal use with advanced, non-animal methods.

Lovely, but...is it just me, or the door/door frame sizes don't seem to be matching width-wise? Also, because of the topmost area not being included in the painting, the header has Escher-like vibes...Follow the black profile right to left, and you'll see what I mean. Ah, well...Happy Sunday.

Watched #Highest2Lowest. Spike and Denzel still going strong. The closing credits track, titled 'Prisencolin (Americano Joint)' is the EN version of a 1972 mock-EN hit by Italian artist #AdrianoCelentano called 'Prisencolinensinainciusol'.
Enjoy the (playback) original,
