@robwitwer They’ve had these in Japan for a while now. Works but only in a restricted low radius area easily serviceable by bicycle.

This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...

The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.

Everything is in the way they sit.

The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.

His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.

Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...

And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."

It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...

@CacheThatCheque @AsceticVirtues Ya, getting PR is a little easier if you have a Japanese spouse and have been married for at least 5 years, and you have kids. But it is not automatic. Still have to prove you’ve always paid taxes, pension, and health. Being unemployed is probably a big deduction in points.

@robwitwer @BowTiedBroke That is great! 🤣

@robwitwer So what? No one gets to that level of achievement without some ego.

But without his ability to organize huge give orgs to manage Covid where would we be? And don’t forget his work on treating HIV.

Tell me more about ego when we do a deep dive on Trump…

@robwitwer It’s gorgeous and has plot holes galore.

@robwitwer Just watched Interstellar for 1st time. Gorgeous film to look at but holy moly the story is so implausible and poorly explained. I sense the Odyssey will be the same- a gorgeous film worthy of the big (imax) screen, good acting, and a weak story. I’ll 100% go see it ;-)

@james_riney Iri-san is an amazing guy. It makes sense that he did this deal w Nvidia.
