Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Is that a universal truth? Fuck no, it’s an anecdote from myself

Do I think it hits at a certain truth? Yes. The appeal of slop art is it comes without a sweat.

That’s so wrong it’s mindbending

I tell my art students that, in my experience, covering 80 percent of the canvas takes you a little less than half the total time before you’re β€œdone”.

The nitpicking cleanup, the β€œboringβ€œ part, is what lifts something ok to something worth looking at

Politico: Trump is running out of time to sell his rationale for Iran war
Senior officials keep offering justifications for the conflict with Tehran that the president upends.

Love how the msm invents new rules for Trump. He gets to come up for a reason for the war AFTER he starts it. What a lucky little fellow.

The only reason at this point- the only reason!- the U.S. hasn’t been carved up Poland-style is our nukes. Wonder how many of them work anymore.

We are the sick man of the world. Goddamn paper tiger. We’ll stand up for our neighborhoods sure but none of us are gonna die for our country

Pretty fitting given the people in charge of things that basically every attempted official justification for what the US was going for in Iran and why they hadn't foreseen any of the extremely foreseeable consequences is basically at the level of something you'd hear during a field sobriety stop.

I was thinking earlier on the weekend that, hypothetically, Iran sinking a carrier might wake people up to this madness…

I don’t think nukes would do it anymore. The majority will keep thinking the GOP is good for business and Trump is just a little kooky until the shockwave deflates their lungs

he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the Bumblebee Man. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

The accepted rule for oil painting is β€œthick over thin”: you want to lay a base color out thinly (using solvents) and β€œbuild” texture. Van Gogh didn’t really do this afaik, but he was Van Gogh. It’s good policy unless you’re going for some effect (and you don’t expect your canvas being rolled up)
