When Camille, Monet’s first wife, died in 1879, he painted her on her deathbed. It’s not polished — it’s raw grief on canvas. Art historians have called it one of the most intimate and honest paintings of loss in art history.

Honestly, what I've learned over time is that in order to truly be intelligent, you HAVE to be humble. You have to be able to admit you don't know something before you can learn it. I hate that modern schooling teaches us to be embarrassed for not knowing something.

Well the Stardew oracle did say it wasn’t going to be a lucky day. Frimpong was great though. #LFC

THANK GOD. Thank you Chiesa!! Mo… 😒

12 minutes extra time, you think?

This is not my favourite game so far. #LFC

We sleeping? What is this performance? Come on lads! #CRYLIV (worst hashtag ever)

Let’s go let’s go let’s go! #CRYLIV

Beside the Barrier Highway just east of Manna Hill is this impressive raven's nest. I always notice it and sometimes stop. There were two babies when I went by recently. (Taken with a long lens a long way from the nest. In fact, I was over on the other side of a busy highway - so not close.)

@netflix.com, please release games for Midnight Gospel and Blue Eye Samurai. They’d be incredible. But you know… on Steam.

Dearest Martha It has been a truly trying week here on the battle lines. A high-ranking insurgent perpetrated such vile disrespect for our great Commander-in-Chief on a comedy show, I cannot begin to describe the gruesomeness of it all, dear Martha.

They've lost the 9yos

A thoroughly professional performance on an emotional night ❤️ That one was for you, Beardy. 💔

So, if you’re not antifascist, then you must be …

“What happened in the Philippines has just happened to you.” “If you don’t move and protect the rights you have, you lose them.” youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

72% of the world is under authoritarian rule. “It is time to create again. To build better. Please act now, before it’s too late.” Maria Ressa tells it. #ai #technofeudalism #lookforthehelpers

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Huntington’s Disease has been successfully treated FOR THE FIRST TIME! The data showed that 3 years after surgery there was an average 75% slowing of the disease based on a measure which combines cognition, motor function and the ability to manage in daily life. ❤️ www.bbc.com/news/article...

What we really need is an investigation into the cause of pathological narcissism

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Making the parents of neurodiverse and disabled kids angry is a choice. The NDIS is learning this too in Australia with ANPA.

In this case both are wrong:the claim isn’t “unproven”. It is science fact, established across multiple studies, that tylenol doesn’t cause autism. Media needs to state this clearly. Journalists need to learn look to “look out of the fucking 🪟”.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

The effect of car dependency: in 1940, Basil Rathbone was photographed wearing an overcoat outside his home. As more men relied on cars, overcoats became shorter to accommodate drivers. Today, the right is marketed as an "overcoat," even if it would've been considered more sport coat length in 1940.

The alarm bells are getting very fucking loud right now

If monopoly was invented today the tokens would be like a labubu, a nice pair of crocs, a cybertruck, 150mg of Wellbutrin, a Stanley cup, and a mini goldendoodle, and the players would just go around the board paying rent until everybody loses

The head of Amnesty International says the U.S. is abusing its position as host of the United Nations in New York. "The United States is holding all of us hostage," says Agnès Callamard. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/9/18/amnesty_international

*inventing Bluetooth* Well, it works about 60% of the time. That’ll probably be good enough forever.

It’s such a deeply sad story. I’m so sorry that this happened to you in my city, Deepinderjeet. I don’t know how this could have been prevented but I know we are not doing enough to turn kids away from anti-social behaviour. We need alternatives, not just punishments when it’s too late. #politas

Oh my GOD trust the Dutch to cut through the bull. BRUTAL.

Finally booked a skin consult where they will push one skincare brand and tell me I need a billion needle stabs, and one of the questions on the form is "what stresses you out?" I have written "Capitalism."

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it. This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

Only 4 days left before the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity bundle sale ends, and about $8,000USD away from hitting $100k USD. Please RT and help push this as far and to as many people as possible for this last stretch. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

The hit piece commissioned because they were scared of our ad:

'Heartbreaking' like it's some kind of unavoidable tragedy. It's wilful, human made carnage. Shark nets, like so much we do, should not be a thing.
