The Shadow magazine, cover dated February 15, 1940.
The cover shows a silhouette of the Shadow's profile in back, with the profile of a skull in front. The story "Voice of Death" is promoted on the cover.

Why is it considered newsworthy to consistently provide a platform to liars for them to tell lies, generally unchallenged or weakly so, and then just replay the lies they tell? Is it to show us what everyone already knows (that they are liars)? What is the basis for this media business model?

My wife was photographed and followed by ICE chuds this morning as she was driving down the street near Metro State in St. Paul on her way to work. Two vehicles with out of state plates. A woman in one of them took her picture through the car window and then the back of the car presumably >

I was searching my camera roll for hippopotami on #WorldHippoDay, without success. Instead, I found “Short Haired Cheese” made from beeswax and human hair by Robert Gober (1992-3), seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2024. You’re welcome for this.
Grotesquely realistic sculpture of a wedge of swiss cheese that has a thin growth of human hair on the rind. It is in a display case in an art museum. “As with so many of Gober's classic works of the 1990s, the artist began by researching the archetypal forms of his chosen subject, landing here on an unmistakable, yellow-tinged wedge replete with air-bubble holes. The hair that appears to grow out of the rind (trimmings from one of his studio assistants) adds a haunting, anthropomorphic cast. Throughout this artist's work, impeccably rendered objects associated with a nostalgic, mid-twentieth-century domesticity - comestibles such as butter, gin, or donuts, or home-maintenance products like house paint, light bulbs, or rat poison— are made strange, even unsettlingly queasy, through the artist's distinctive interventions and allusions to a body in pieces.”

Uh oh, the cat snuggled up with me before I got my coffee. I’m sticking with the cat, obviously.

And an adopted son of Belfast, with a grand statue of him round from the firebrand United Irishman church of the first presbyterians inRosemary st ( what this taig thinks of as 'her' church because of its history of rebellion ).

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Ice fishing on Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota
Ice fishing shelters on a frozen lake with a forested shoreline behind. Ice fishing shacks on a frozen lake. The opposite shore is not visible because the lake is so large.

Glad to see NYC showing leadership and doing the right thing at Stonewall National Monument, since our federal government is a disgrace.

Local leaders hoisted a Pride flag at Stonewall National Monument on Thursday, defying a federal directive that led to its removal earlier this week.

This “South East Asian Art Inventory” of Leon Black and his Narrows trust, dated 30 April 2014, appears in the Epstein Files. It suggests Black assembled an extraordinary collection of Khmer antiquities. THREAD www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
