Do we have any concrete evidence that he’s even telling the truth? Something other than a tweet on a platform he owns? He seems to lie often.

Earth is the only planet that we’re adapted to live on. Nowhere else will be as forgiving of our mistakes.

TL;DR - They’re bringing this up cuz Kroger’s trying to merge with Albertson’s. Other than that, it doesn’t seem like the FTC’s seeking any punitive measures, or seeking to curb any sort of profiteering.

Every accusation a confession.

Truly, a requiem for a dreamer.

Here’s a “fun” read comparing Trump to biblical passages about the antichrist! :)

Rest in peace. One of the biggest influences of my childhood. Sad to hear he’s gone, but what a life he’d had. <3

I appreciated the fact that the artist chose to depict the tension and implication of imminent violence, rather than actual act of present or past violence. It's pretty plain to see that the wolves aren't gently embracing the lamb, but technically, violence has not yet occurred.

When does something become violent? Is it only when blood has been shed? Is it when it's too late to undo the act? Or are the precursory actions that set the stage for figurative or literal violence just as complicit? As you pointed out, there is no blood, and we can tell by the lamb's expression and white coat that the wolves have not yet sunk their teeth into flesh. How close to killing are we willing to allow the wolves to get before we convince ourselves to intervene?

Fun! :)

The color is so that they aren’t spotted by the space deer.

We could ALL become Syndrome!

And when everyone is Syndrome, no one will be…

the electoral college is about who can gerrymander more districts. we would be better off if it were actually about popularity.

This has been working for me, so here it is:

1. When you’re ready to fall asleep, pick a five to seven letter word (it can be longer if you can keep track of the letters). (e.g. - “Candle”)

2. For each letter, pick an animal. (e.g. - “C is for Cat”)

3. To the best of your ability, try and picture that animal in as much detail as you think is appropriate. (e.g. - “It’s seated but not laying down. It has cinnamon-colored fur, short. Its nose is pink, etc.”

4. Move on to the next letter and do steps 2 & 3 for each letter.

5. If you finish a word, pick another word, and repeat the same process.

Apparently this mimics the random-ish thought pattern that precedes sleep, and supposedly signals to your brain that the environment is safe enough to sleep.

I forget where I picked this up. This was just one of those things where you go, “Oh - that sounds interesting. I’ll guess I’ll give it a shot if I happen to remember it when I’m trying to fall asleep.” It wasn’t something that I ever really expected to work for me.

About the Artist

Roberto Ferri is an Italian artist and painter from Taranto, Italy, who is deeply inspired by Baroque painters (Caravaggio in particular) and other old masters of Romanticism, the Academy, and Symbolism.

Ferri graduated from the Liceo Artistico Lisippo Taranto in 1996, a local art school in his hometown. He began to study painting on his own and moved to Rome in 1999, to increase research on ancient painting, beginning at the end of the 16th century, in particular. In 2006, he graduated with honors from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.

His work is represented in important private collections in Rome, Milan, London, Paris, New York, Madrid, Barcelona, Miami, San Antonio (Texas), Qatar, Dublin, Boston, Malta, and the Castle of Menerbes in Provence. His work was featured in the controversial Italian pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2011, and has exhibited at Palazzo Cini, Venice in the Kitsch Biennale 2010.

In 2021, on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's death, he created Il Bacio di Dante e Beatrice (The Kiss of Dante and Beatrice in Italian), a work that seals the sublimation of a kiss that never happened, with the painter's choice of Italian model and actor Edoardo Sferrella as a reference for the figure of the Supreme Poet; the painting was commissioned by Magnum for the MagnumXDante campaign in partnership with the Scuderie del Quirinale, and exhibited at Palazzo Firenze in Rome.

She should really be using a dry kitchen towel to grip that wok, if she were serious about achieving proper wok hei.

I would like to be the god of temporary, drawn-on tattoos, the ones scribbled on hands and arms during lulls in class or in moments of boredom, whose enjoyment is measured in moments and are forgotten as soon as they’re washed away.

This is so annoying. It goes into a full screen ad as soon as you turn it on, so I babysit the remote and navigate to an app as soon as it turns on, in order to avoid ads. It also does this if you let the TV idle, which I also hate. I might just throw it away and go back to hooking up a laptop to the TV instead. I paid $70-ish bucks for this stupid thing.

Edit: I just remembered that you can hack these fire sticks, so i’ll probably try that first.
