There's more to the world of art than Leonardo da Vinci and Pablo Picasso.

So here are 11 brilliant, beautiful, & bizarre painters you've (probably) never heard of:

In a remarkable PBS documentary, the January 6th committee admits the entire thing was a publicity stunt / fabricated TV production meant to manipulate the audience. Which is why they brought in the former president of ABC News [James Goldston]
"It was Goldston who envisioned this as a miniseries"
"We knew how high the stakes were. We were either going to make people realize that this was important or once you've lost them you've lost them for good."
Well you failed and you lost most of the American public for good 🤣 Nice try though

Direct print of an indigo leaf. Picked earlier, briefly popped in the freezer and then hammered onto fabric. I’ll leave it in a bright windowsill to see how it develops or fades.

6/ Aristocracies can’t be closed off:

“The healthiest aristocracy is the most elastic – willing to beckon & receive all men of whatever antecedents who prove them­selves aesthetically & intellectually fitted for membership”

Make the aspirational life available to the deserving

@RobertKennedyJr @JohannaVelikova The longterm solution to this widespread problem is the repatriation of manufacturing. Basic medicines like aspirin and antibiotics should be first along with critical infrastructure needs like microchips and steel.

3/ Rome fell as its language fell

Pound: “Rome rose with the idiom of Caesar, Ovid, and Tacitus, she declined in a welter of rhetoric, the diplomat's language to conceal thought...Rome went because it was no longer the fashion to hit the nail on the head. They desired orators.”

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

Americans are able to watch biopics or read biographies about Admiral Yamamoto or General Rommel, admire their technical skill, sense of honor, while realizing it’s good they lost.

But increasingly they can’t extend that same empathy to Robert E Lee or Stonewall Jackson.

Crabs (1976) - dir. Vaclav Mergl; Short Film Prague, Studio Prometheus

[Rowena Dugdale @redrubyrose_]

“When you work with homemade materials, each color is more than just a hue. It’s a texture, a particular scent, a quiet sound of simmering, a labor, a quiet opacity, a piece of history, and a living being”

A brief introduction to Impressionism:

For #FindsFriday an amazing object from yesterday's visit to Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren - an #IceAge masterpiece! The so-called Venus of Hohle Fels (a cave on the Swabian Jura) was carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. The 6cm long figurine is the world’s...1/2

This will only continue in Europe and it will be pushed by the women. They’re sick of being treated like prostitutes and the churchian Coldplay concerts and rainbow flags for Jesus isn’t cutting it.
Islam isn’t a race. You’ll see more and more white Muslims because the institution leads to higher birth rates and better treatment of women.
You’d be surprised how much women don’t actually want to be valued on their yoga panted body and cubicle slave job.
I’m just reporting what I see. I’ve never even been to a mosque. I just see what’s working and what the trends are. And I know a lot of “Christian’s” just seek the comfort of a guy in a robe or slick hair telling them they’re saved everyday, but you’re being conquered.
And it isn’t the people burning the cars in the streets. That’s actually strictly forbidden in Islam. But that chaos will lead more women to seek strong family and institutional foundations and right now that’s Islam. Mormonism is doing a pretty good job too and the Amish and menonites are obviously crushing.
But I can’t reiterate this enough to Europe. You can’t make a baby in a guys ass. Treat your women better and value their modesty and they will give you children. Demographics are destiny

The Guardian ran a huge exposé on child sex trafficking in Columbia in 2018

Now they are saying it's a conspiracy theory to watch a movie about child sex trafficking set in Columbia
