"Look, Mamdani's win is both the worst thing to ever happen and totally meaningless; his supporters are stupid rich kids and also dedicated communist-terrorist infiltrators; and, as I argue in this, my 12th op-ed on him, it's strange that we all keep talking about him so much."

If you’ve ever seen a rat in an Atget hit me up! It’s not for research, just curious…
I probably looked at close to 900 Atget photos while in Paris and didn’t see a single rat in any of them…(I know why but still). Imagine how many rats Atget saw in his early morning outings!

Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge. Jim and Helen Ebe left it to Cambridge in the condition it be maintained just as they left it and be open to visitors. Lots of British modernists as well as some Brancusi, Ernst, and Miro. Plus one piece by a grandchild.
