an impressionist painting with a gigantic woman reading a newspaper in the foreground, and in the background a much visibly smaller man reading a book on a couch. from the museum card: Interior, Woman Reading 1880 Oil on canvas A woman reads a newspaper in an armchair while a man reclines on a sofa with a novel. As he did in Interior, Woman at the Window (on view nearby), Caillebotte staged his bachelor friend Richard Gallo with an unidentified woman, perhaps Caillebotte's companion, Charlotte Berthier. This pictorial narrative both intrigued and irritated critics at the 1880 Impressionist exhibition: The dramatic shift in scale, with the woman dwarfing the man, was seen as emasculat-ing. Caillebotte further challenged gender stereotypes by showing the woman scouring a newspaper-then viewed as a masculine endeavor-while the lounging male reads a novel, likewise considered a feminine pastime.

me and who? 🥺

How badly do you have to shoot and kill your own partner for your girlfriend’s mom to punch you in the face at a Wicker Park bar

then why do they stop making sounds after you’ve added a few cars and buildings on top of them in your katamari 🤔

This logo literally looks like it says KMS NOW!

once again "ai" is just many underpaid overseas contractors in a trenchcoat and every once in a while sam altman pretends to be scared of its awesome power in order to drum up more funding

Say what you will about Gavin Newsom, but he’s a fighter, whether that’s against Trump, trans children, or his own constituents with nowhere to live.

okay but that is of little help to conservative nerds and dweebs, who are masters of debate but novices at the keg stand

someone abandoned a maltipoo?!

A bravura performance by the woman recording this. She is relentless and made this trio is massively uncomfortable.

When Bill Kristol is doing more to fight back than MOST Congressional Dems. Fuck this timeline.

Well actually they hadn't known criminals would be armed with sandwiches

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

The Chicago they want you to fear vs. the Chicago you should actually fear

i know we still have 4.5 months left in the year but I'm confident that a transit reporter grilling a Black politician for using a Wu Tang reference they didn't understand will remain the whitest thing i've seen all year

Exclusive | Rep. Hakeem Jeffries pays just $200 in property taxes thanks to sweetheart subsidy law Public records show that Jeffries and his family reside in a condo unit in Prospect Heights, paying just $213 a year in property taxes.

Since @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is so concerned about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social housing maybe he should address his own property tax bill of just $213 a year thanks to a sweetheart deal he supported when he served in the state Assembly that will last through 2032. nypost.com/2022/01/23/r...

not only do elite homeland security agents not have to sign their names to court documents, they don’t even have to spell the suspect’s name correctly. Great work if you can get it

A phalanx of police walked by the bar I was at. So I walked out, recorded them as they went down the street, and then one of them started to film me as I filmed him.

So I asked about it.

Tim Onion would never betray your trust. That’s the Tim Onion promise

i don’t write opinion pieces, but i felt compelled to write this one with @colincarlson.bsky.social after my friends and former colleagues at CDC had 500 bullets fired at them.
