Today I learned that Peter Falk, aside from being famous for portraying Lieutenant Columbo, was also in real life quite an accomplished traditional media fine visual artist.

So if you haven't heard yet, new CBS editor in chief Barri Weiss, who is a Trump fangirl, pulled the 60 Minutes segment on the CECOT prison. But the Canada branch of 60 Minutes already posted the segment on YouTube before Weiss made the order.

I smile that the majority of reposts of this reference painting Warhammer minis. I suspect anyone who’s ever painted Warhammer minis can see why the reconstructions of statues paint is likely flawed.
I admit, I’d love to see modern mini painters given old paints and set to work on them.

Were classical statues painted horribly?

It is often suggested that modern viewers dislike painted reconstructions of Greek and Roman statues because our taste differs from that of the ancients. This essay proposes an alternative explanation.

To note (and yes at the risk of explaining the joke and thus ruining it), this is a critique upon the Cult of "Trump and MAGA can do no wrong", who also must tend to think that anyone who is against Trump and against MAGA must also therefore be against Amerikkka.

I'm Indonesian, I didn't even know Trump was about to give a "Christmas speech", I'm not even watching it on any broadcast channel whatsoever, and I am already well aware of how SNAFU the speech is going.

In the first couple of years of Bluesky I would love to visit the 'Popular With Friends' and the 'Catch Up' feeds. It would really help catch-up real quick with the global zeitgeist of the day.
Nowadays its just constant non-stop US politics. And I'm Indonesian.
