Rep. Raskin to Pam Bondi: "You redacted the names of abusers, enablers, accomplices, and co-conspirators — apparently to save them from embarrassment and disgrace…Even worse, you've shockingly failed to redact many of the victims' names…You ignored the law."

Does advertising really work? Everyone I know mutes TV ads when they come on. Everyone I know uses ad-blockers online. I avoid sites that say 'You can't view this site unless you turn off your ad-blocker.' And some ads are so annoying &/or repetitive that I refuse to use the product on principle.

In this 1956 portrait by Graham Sutherland, the greater portion of the canvas is filled with the novelist and music critic Edward Sackville-West's head and shoulders; the closeness magnifies the sense of familiarity between the viewer and the viewed.

Keith Vaughan was as much a painter of landscapes as he was of the figure, this 1951 painting of a Welsh industrial landscape demonstrates his early work very well. Still under the influence of Graham Sutherland, nethertheless he makes the subject his own.

Today's @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange theme is Light & Dark. We have chosen Two Miners Drilling by Graham Sutherland, sketched in a Welsh coalmine (1942) as a War Artist. Ink & red crayon heighten the miners’ monumental forms and the rock’s looming threat.

Jack White's scathing response to Trump’s deranged post. (Sorry no alt text)

Johnson had his Russian connections, Russia comes up again and again. There is no surprise anymore when details of strong Russian connections are found in the profiles of prominent UK politicians. It’s about time it was blown open, how Russia set up Brexit, and continues to forment political unrest

This will make tr$mp throw ketchup at his cheap gold gawdy walls! The Obamas effortlessly embody the dignity, style, and class that tr$mp wants us to think he has, but his venality continuously oozes out of every pore.

Billionaires should be reclassified as potentially harmful substances, allocated their own little triangle warning symbol, and be regulated accordingly.

It's not just the decision to give public money and public data to a sworn enemy of everything we stand for, appalling though that is. It's also the secrecy and illegal shutting out of any competition. What does Palantir have on Streeting and Starmer - and did Mandelson give it to them?

Application fees are one of the least examined but most pervasive forms of class stratification in the arts.

'Vase of Flowers.' (1953) Dorothy Mead was taught by David Bomberg and became a founding member of the Borough Group, its output distinguished by angular, expressionist, dense brushwork. She enjoyed critical success showing alongside Hockney and Bridget Riley.
