A remarkable work from 1896 by the Danish artist Valdemar Møller who for decades had been experimenting with painting landscapes viewed directly into the sun. 'Sunshine, Pine Woods,' was made in the forest of Fontainebleau in France.

It is not fun, but this reminds me that the one time I've had sleep paralysis, my demon appeared as--I'm not kidding--Katie Holmes. I said, "So that's the form you've chosen," then she started smothering me, then I had to concentrate all my attention on waking up.

Wow. I’m going to use this approach and similar language next time I’m confronted with a MAGA convert that I think may still be reachable (thanks to @laurenjoyfraley.bsky.social for posting!)

this is literally the opposite of how you should treat scandal Dems: "we should let the legal process play out before we say anything" Voters: "this guy seems fine" Reps, at vague hint of scandal: "CRIMINAL! SCANDAL! CONSPIRACY!" Voters: "I just have a bad feeling about the guy"

We got the last of the vaccines we needed to be up to date today, so when I die on the Mental Illness Farm, at least it probably won't be from a preventable disease.

1. The Philadelphia Inquirer has 2 journalists - our chief political writer and foreign affairs columnist - in Germany for its critical election. A friend yesterday called us "a regional newspaper" but I'd say we're a historic legacy news org (with 23 Pulitzers)... www.inquirer.com/politics/ger...

I remember someone told me, during Dubya's first term, that all Dems had to do was to keep their heads down and let the GOP keep getting crazier, and eventually all of the soccer moms will vote for Democrats because the the GOP went "too far." Things do not appear to have worked out that way.

If your line of thinking is 1) something is deeply unpopular 2) because of vile propaganda 3) we should let the vile propaganda continue and not say anything 4) ???? 5) things will be better There is simply a mistake somewhere in that line of thinking

A reminder that flight attendants are frequently verbally and physically abused by passengers, criminally underpaid, and when there’s an emergency the pilots bail but flight attendants stay until the last soul evacuates - or not at all - a former flight attendant and proud IAM district 142 member

You know, social media sucks and all, but I am very tired of all this doomer shit I'm seeing everywhere that's like "oh well can't counter social media misinformation, it's too hard, the world is over" Bad guy domination of mass media is not historically unprecedented. Go build relationships

Look, don't tell anyone, but I kind of really want to see the sequel that's coming out for that Ben Affleck Accountant movie. (The first one was perfectly cromulent, and this second one seems to have a lot of Jon Bernthal in it.)

"AI" means "plagiarism and fake-fact bots" now because that's how the industry chose to redefine it; that horse has left the barn, and the problem is that tech people are so deep in the hype bubble they think it's good marketing to use the now-poisoned "AI" brand for useful machine learning stuff

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.
