DIGGIN' FOR FISHIN' WOIMS IS TOUGH WOIK

Edward Hopper made his first visit to Paris in 1906, boarding at 48 Rue de Lille, depicted here. He painted frequently outdoors and fell in love with the city and its culture: 'I do not believe there is another city on earth so beautiful as Paris.'

Before Cousteau, way before @Octonauts, explorer Eugen von Ransonnet-Villez was bringing images of the undersea world to the surface, from his artist’s sketch pad inside a glass and steel diving bell: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/underwater-landscapes-of-eugen-von-ransonnet-villez

I had a fun (and exhausting) time in 1777 this weekend falling in w the 24th of foot at the battle of Hubbardton. I grew up in Hubbardton, so the battle has always been very meaningful to me - it was a real treat and education to take part in the reenactment.

Lex has been doing incredible coverage, and is one of the few journalists correctly treating this case like the five-alarm fascism fire that it is. The Sotos were targeted for producing zines and everyone should read Lex's story on the case.

I love historic buildings. They are structures that help tell the story of Canada. That got me thinking about the oldest buildings in Canada and the role those buildings played in our history. To that end, here are the oldest buildings in each province and territory! 🧵 1/15

“Vermont’s law enforcement is largely shut out of that network because their communities don’t have Flock cameras. But they have found a workaround, turning instead to a regional intelligence hub to obtain license plate tracking information on Vermont suspects when they travel out of state.”

Love this quote from Thomas Merton. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be an artist, connections that exist outside of industry, academia, and commerce. My father is an incredible artist, but he rarely shares his work. Yet, privately, his work has impacted my life profoundly.

I work on what most Americans might think is one of the most canonical over-studied places in European history: England in the Middle Ages. And yet almost every time I go to a library or archive I examine something that exists on that single book and has never been published. 3/n

Premiering tonight at 6pm!! Mike Skyros v Seabass Finn

Insane show from @grindpuro.bsky.social last night. Something about grind and those dog days of early summer, hits like nothing else. Huge wins for Elle Valentine (great match v @delmiexo.bsky.social) and Jay Freddie. Dante drago was hilarious as always.

Writing, other crafts, and theory are like this too. It takes greater experience, skill and understanding to be able to perceive past surfaces in order to appraise and manipulate underlying structure and composition. Derivative is pejorative bc it implies a superficial replication.

the charcoals Hockney made in 2014, after a stroke, that show what it is to make something: you show up every day and look at it, wrestle with it, honestly. it’s in the doing. RIP to the master.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of John Constable, one of Britain's most celebrated landscape painters. Constable spent much of his time at Flatford and across the Dedham Vale landscape. These much-loved surroundings inspired many of his most famous works.

To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

Over the past year, President Trump has sought to scrub national monuments, museums, parks and other historical sites of markers that the administration claims casts the country's "founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light."
