Zoran’s win is a sign. It’s a manifestation of the will of the people, saying β€˜no more bullshit.’ We’re sick of the establishment β€˜left’ that every other first world democracy would consider center-right.
Do you want cool shit like Canada/Australia have? Elect more people like AOC & Zoran.

This is one of the studies (1885) John Singer Sargent made for 'Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose.' The lanterns which we can see here were painted with very thin layers of paint; this allowed the light to seem like it was emanating from within rather than just sitting on the surface.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Lilith Fair rewrote the rules of rock

I didn't attend any year of Lilith Fair bc I thought at the time that it wasn't for me. The new documentary has made me rethink that position: www.salon.com/2025/09/23/l...

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

ART SINGS HALLELUJA! ART IS FOR KITCHENS ! ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!

Art is like green trees! Art is like white clouds in blue sky!

ART IS CHEAP!

HURRAH

the thing about mary oliver is that her simplicity is repellant to people who are uncomfortable with themselves.

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but.

It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies

But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

It’s kind of crazy how good a title Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit is. Maybe we peaked as a culture in 1993.

I think the most credible argument for against AI is that it seems to short circuit critical thinking in the large majority of people that use it.
