one notable thing about israel's advocacy for itself is that nothing has radicalized me against israel as much as what israeli sources say in their own defense.

Sending this busy echidna to brighten your day. The echidna is a native Australian mammal and one of only two egg-laying mammals (monotremes). Fun fact: A baby echidna is called a puggle. I spotted this one at Red Banks CP near Burra a few years ago. (A good place to find these creatures, btw.)

If you follow the links in this you get to a Daily Mail article that makes it clear the knives are OUT for Miller, and you know what? Good. I hope Trump gets to see that guy go to prison before he dies and understands what his legacy is and how he'll be remembered.

People come up with complicated reasons why art/music scenes are less vibrant now but it is like 90% just this

"When I heard Morton Feldman's composition "For Frank O'Hara' at a concert, with its insistent but muted flow of sounds, like aural dabs of the brush, I remarked to Lucy, 'It's Guston 1953 in music'." - Irving Sandler 🎨 Philip Guston, Zone, 1953 youtube.com/watch?v=hpvy...

Frank O'Hara by Elaine de Kooning, 1962 "When I painted Frank O’Hara, Frank was standing there. First I painted the whole structure of his face; then I wiped out the face, and when the face was gone, it was more Frank than when the face was there."

One of my very favourite portraits: Alex Katz, Frank O’Hara, 1959–60. Oil on wood panel. 60 × 15 1/2 in. (152.4 × 39.4 cm).

Without cursive handwriting, you dumbasses would still be thinking that this was a pipe

Twombly walked so Baldessari could run

while you were partying, i studied the blade* *Cy Twombly's Untitled (from Synopsis of a Battle), 1967

in between these 3 bodies of work that i posted about below for #PortfolioDay, i was making a lot of unfinished collages on handmade Twinrocker paper called "Diagrams" (loosely inspired by Feynman diagrams and whatnot)

Richard Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces" ain't so easy (and that's just one of the reasons why its lessons are so gratifying)

Please stop turning my two asterisks into shorthand for making a word bold. Those asterisks are a *garnish*

these are so beautiful, reminds me of the michele oka doner installation at miami int'l airport where 9,000 cast-bronze sculptures of sea life are embedded in terrazzo with mother-of-pearl

WHHHOOOAAAAA!!!1!

jesus christ this reminds of some of the shittiest fucking paintings i've ever seen in my entire life (nir hod's 'genius' series from 2010)

look I don't want to count my chickens or downplay the extent to which the right has fascist aspirations. but if the GOP had an unassailable, undetectable election rigging strategy - or the juice to openly do the detectable kind - you do kind of suspect they would've started here

A new 225-meter (740-foot) crater appeared on the Moon while nobody was looking. NASA's lunar orbiter imaged the dramatic aftermath. Such large impacts are once-in-a-century events. This one happened in the spring of 2024. 🔭🧪 www.sciencenews.org/article/moon...

Look at this. You wouldn't hire this guy to run the mailroom! You wouldn't hire him to organize a company picnic! You wouldn't hire him in a position of authority over your money, or your kids, or your job! No one in the country would hire this man for any job that they *understood & cared about*.

Been saying it for years but being and staying alive, and being kind, maybe making a little art if you can, is the most punk rock thing imaginable in 2026. You're doing an awful lot just by surviving and don't forget that.

Phone less convenient in every way and furthermore it is for babies. You always see babies poking away at phones and tablets. A baby is never on the computer

Still can’t find much to love about the last two ‘70s Can albums but it feels like time is finally being kind to Flow Motion and Saw Delight, two albums that triple-underline a point that wouldn’t be fully absorbed until the 90s that truly brain-fried psych rock and dance music are powerful allies

"What kind of TSA PreCheck Member are you"

In Super Mario Odyssey, many Goombas can be stacked. The limit for a legitimate Goomba stack is 30, as they will stop spawning afterwards. Manually spawning more Goombas reveals that the limit for an illegitimate Goomba stack is 200. At 201 Goombas, the game crashes.

You really do gotta hand it to Carl Sagan on this one.

Anish Kapoor at Lisson (not sure i'd call it Art but tbf i've never seen my reflection in such a hi-def distortion like that before, unforgettable simply because of that experience)

Peter Saul's Art History at Gladstone (the more complex/messy the better, neon colors and foamy textures are so great, late-70's / early-80's looked like they were painted just yesterday!) 1. Exquisite Corpse, 1980 2. Untitled, 1980 3. Better than de Kooning, 2008 4. Double de Kooning Duck, 1979
