Just read “ Politics And The English Language” by George Orwell. Written in 1946. Roughly 30 pages. As relevant now as it was when written. If modern discussions filled with a lot of words, but little to no meaning bothers you… this is a must read! 🔥🔥🔥

@Culture_Crit La Pietà by Michelangelo for me is the greatest work of art ever created. I am still in awe how much this work of art still moves me years after seeing it. Truly sublime.
