Repairing fishing nets, by Nguyen Minh Tuan

[Savant @winterton_k]

@amyklobuchar Shouldn't proper maintenance of our national monuments (that belong to all of us) always be a priority? By your logic, when would repairs to US public spaces ever be allowable? (Also couldn't you say the same about all the billions that have been shipped to Ukraine?)

@bunsenbernerbmd What joy! Keep healing, Brix!

@DoodleNessa How lucky she was to have a family that loved her so much because love is what it takes to make sure our darling pet companions have wonderful lives and the best possible good bye.

@bunsenbernerbmd Feel so attached to your lovely boy it’s almost like going through this with one of mine. Sending healing thoughts and wishes to all of you.

@the_culturist_ This is the unsurprising result of the everybody belongs in college mindset. University education ought to be restricted to people capable of the intellectual work that is necessary. Have an alternate credentialing/training system for those not interested or suited to higher ed.

@GardenBrocante @britgardhistory Where did the flowers go? Only watched TV coverage but these were some of the most boring “gardens”I have ever seen. The overwhelming preponderance of foliage and masonry was disappointingly dull.

@MarioNawfal Love the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Marble Arch in London and I love this.
The capital city of the US deserves its own splendid arch.

@TimelessTrvlr My favorite Italian cathedral. It almost seems to be levitating.

@according2_taz Agree with those who think Harry is being used by Labour Government for
messaging that appears to have a royal sanction. Didn’t they fund his recent trip to Ukraine where he was pleading for continued war support?
Is this how Harry will get the security arrangements he wants?

@according2_taz @RE_DailyMail Sorry but tastes may vary! I think the beard is dreadful- he has a wonderful face with nice mouth that deserves to be seen!🤴🫶

@arthistorynews I know it’s rather odd but he is actually my favorite British landscape painter. Thanks for sharing this.

The Approaching Shadow by Fan Ho, 1954

@Malcolm_theCat Have gotten so many smiles from your photos today! Cats and dogs dressed as literary characters would be a wonderful calendar or picture book. Thanks so much.

[Savant @winterton_k]

@Malcolm_theCat Adorable!

[Savant @winterton_k]

@BiancoDavinci One pig gets this treatment too. "Il Porcellino" in Florence has had his snout turned to gold by people making wishes on it!

See the Acropolis in the time of its glory.

This is wonderful. The visualization makes everything so much clearer — it brings the music within reach of every listener.

And to think that Antonio Vivaldi achieved this without any modern technology at all.

@mattvanswol @Puppieslover Winston is not replaceable, but finding a new dog to care for as soon as you can handle it will give you somewhere to put all the love you still have inside.
