Gustav Klimt was 17 years old in 1879 when he drew (with charcoal and black chalk) this portrait of a young girl. His superb technical ability as a draughtsman is evident even as a teenager in the way he uses shadow to create a three-dimensional picture on paper.

It’s going to be so delicious when the GOP gets their ass kicked in November anyway. Hey Republicans, after you’ve tried to prevent as many people from voting as possible AND rig the map in your favor, what’s the excuse going to be when you still lose?

🇫🇷⚡ France’s power market just hit a new extreme: record-breaking negative electricity prices. In April, 90% of days saw zero or below-zero prices on the day-ahead market. At one point, prices plunged to -€479/MWh amid midday solar oversupply 📉

💥 Large explosions reported in Simferopol, occupied Crimea. Just as in the ongoing attack on Rostov right now, there are rumors that Ukrainian ballistic missiles are being used against occupied Crimea as well. 🚀

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ Morten Kabell

Ukrainian drones struck refineries @ Perm and Yaroslavl yesterday starting large fires. Effective, heavy strikes on multiple targets in one day should be a compelling message to the Kremlin. But who knows?

🔥 Russia: Countdown to Putin's "Victory" parade has begun in Rostov.

I think the fact that Iran apparently blew the shit out of our expensively defended Gulf bases and the regime that refused to embed journos for the first time in our history covered that up should be a much bigger story.

Jason J Smart takes note of roiling mess inside Moscow, @econundertow notes the Ukrainians have recently been piling up an inventory of strike drones. A big wave of drones would force Russia to burn through what's left of its air defense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFEA...

Who gives a flying fuck what Trump thinks or says about anything?

One of the most crazy-making things I've witnessed in my life is Mitch McConnell using procedural fuckery to transform the filibuster into a routine thing, such that 60 Senate votes are needed to pass any legislation. It bascially rendered normal legislating impossible!

Under everyone's nose the Ukrainians have managed to take a big bite out of Russia's artillery inventory since the beginning of the year. One reason is better Ukrainian medium-range drones Another is Russia putting guns into drone range Jan 26 ....................................... May 26

If we want to save lives and end the war sooner, the solution is straightforward. We must make sure Ukraine gets all the missiles and drones they need to wreck the Russian economy. Funding their own production works just as well. It really is that simple

Even after 5 days, the fire at the Perm pipeline pump station in Russia hasn’t been extinguished. Here a video allegedly today from someone at the Perm airport. The long duration of the fire almost certainly means that the whole facility will be inoperable for a long time.
