RIP David Hockney I once printed these out at Walgreens and when I picked them up the employees at the photo studio were laughing at me and I was like “this broke a record for most expensive painting by a living artist” as if that was going to make me seem like less of an f word
Stellan Skarsgård on his worldviews
"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"
"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people"

Just had a truly British interaction.
Was locking up my nan bike when an old geezer with a Cockney accent said “nobody’s gonna nick that, darlin’” then, with perfect comedy timing, a passing crackhead said “I fucking would!”
We all laughed in a moment of genuine shared joy.
