hard to believe, Edward Hopper drew this at the age of nine.
already his eye was astute--most children don't seem to "see" figures anything like this; indeed, most adults, asked to draw a human figure, fail utterly. how odd it is that some are naturally gifted with this ability to "see" & to replicate it with a pencil or pen. even the proportions of this child-body seem accurate, & the suggestion of the water is deft, minimal, like the clouds. nine years old!
even if Biden ekes out a victory in November it is a stunning repudiation of our democracy, common & uncommon sense, & just plain decency, that a candidate so wretched as T***p will draw so many millions of votes. like a vote of 51-49 not to stone you to death.
@Rajprasong_News Definitely have that right. I wonder if it's neutrality or playing two sides against each other. Maybe slightly different. Best result for TH might be the latter, but might also bring with it some limits, such as on certain tech or info sharing.
I think, also, US media focuses obsessively on British royals because it seems like a safe, sanitized way for our media to celebrate White Anglican/Christian Supremacy while seeming to celebrate something innocent & guileless as a theme park.
@mythailand2 @Intrepidmotion@RichardBarrow They're paying $$ for the vaccines they're buying. But my point -going back to OP - is that before we lecture about a global pandemic and no place for nationalism, we should remember our own home countries have done, and therefore maybe dial back the outrage/show some patience.
@Intrepidmotion@RichardBarrow For sure, but the starting point is that the USA first took care of the USA. I don't take any great pride in the USA largely keeping vaccines and components until it started to have a surplus.
@RichardBarrow Maybe it helps if we keep in mind that USA/EU certainly took care of their citizens at home "first" through prohibitions or limitations on vaccines and vaccine components. Yes - they offered jabs to all - after hoarding the supply. Perhaps a bit of patience might be possible.
