I only post jokes online because I don’t own a spaceship company. If I did own a spaceship company I would post inspirational sayings about the grandeur of the universe, like a Temu version of Carl Sagan

David Wilkie's remarkably modern looking study of a bookcase was painted in 1813, for his 'A Letter of Introduction,' which is based on his own experience as a young artist arriving in London from Scotland with, he thought, useless letters of introduction to potential patrons.

Several years ago I invented an entirely fictitious French theorist called Jacques Maudrieillou. When I feel someone is getting the better of me in an intellectual conversation I bring up his most recent book and talk about it until they concede defeat

Stop pronouncing it DOGE like we're 16th century Venetians addressing the duke. Start calling it Dodgy. dodgy /dŏj′ē/ adjective Evasive; shifty. Unsound, unstable, and unreliable. So risky as to require very deft handling. I mean, IT'S RIGHT THERE.

The secret key to enjoying stuff with a weird and toxic fan circles is forcefully ejecting your thoughts out of your skull whenever you read an opinion post. You’ll be safe if you simply master the way of purposeful short term memory

look, for some of us, in The Little Mermaid when Ursula-as-Vanessa throws her hairpin into the cherub mirror and then steps up onto the vanity breaking perfume bottles and declaring her intent to take over the ocean, that was our first experience of "oh worm"

John Lavery painted 'Bay of Tunis,' in 1919 from a make-shift studio at Sidi bou Said looking towards Bou Kornine, the quiet drama of a day unfolding captured in aquamarine and cobalt; an image which recalls the influence of Japanese art and the work of Whistler.
