Am with you, Jeremy! My family and I have been watching the Olympics, both Summer and Winter, due to my father's obsession since we were children; the best was with #JimMcKay on the #WideWorldOfSports.

Cannot wait! Enjoy! 🏒⛸️🥌🛷

I’m a 9.5. I love the Olympics and I always have. And I love the winter ones even more than the summer ones because 1) the sports are so rad, and 2) there are fewer sports so it’s easier to keep up.

But NBC will over-sentimentalize everything until it is hardly recognizable and that’s why the .5.
On a scale of 9 to 10, how excited are you about the Winter Olympics coming up?

BREAKING: - Trump just now:

"We Need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and the European Union needs us to have it and they know that."

The European Union literally has Greenland.
Why the F--k would they need us to have it, you authoritarian imbecile?

Just finished watching for the first time. It has now become my favorite, to quote Ben Mankiewicz, "deliciously terrible" film, over my once favorite, Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman.

Despite the camera's gaze into #BrigitteBardot’s beautiful face, #TwoWeeksInSeptember is a simple film of a woman torn between a new love and life & moving on from a marriage she finds stilted and familiar.

It's become one of my favorites.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.
Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

“Les Douze Mois de l’Année: Nivôse” by Marthe Romme (French) - Pochoir on paper / 1919 - Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, Netherlands) #WomenInArt #MartheRomme #Romme #Rijksmuseum #ArtDeco #FashionPlate #Pochoir #WinterArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #art #artText #BlueskyArt #WomenPaintingWomen
At upper left, a handwritten French couplet floats among snowflakes; at bottom, the title reads “nivôse.” “de la neige les flocons de la saison sont les papillons” The literal English translation is “Of snow, the flakes; of the season, the butterflies” which naturally means “Snowflakes are the season’s butterflies.” Created as part of Les Douze Mois de l’Année (The Twelve Months of the Year), the title “Nivôse” borrows from the French Republican calendar, where it is “snowy” month that falls roughly from late December into mid-January. A stylized woman (an idealized fashion figure) strides through thick, falling snow against a flat gray background. Her face is simplified in warm peach tones and mostly tucked into an oversized, cloud-like wrap of white fur that loops around her neck and sweeps across the lower foreground like a muff or stole. A small cap patterned with red rosettes sits on her head, tied with long blue ribbons that trail behind her. She wears a dramatic, wind-caught cape in a cream-and-blue lattice, each square centered with a red flower motif. Bright red stockings and sharp red heels punctuate the winter palette. The print is made by pochoir (color applied through hand-cut stencils) so edges appear crisp and the colors sit in velvety, opaque layers, with a hand-finished precision that was prized in luxury fashion illustration. In 1919, just after World War I, Paris fashion imagery often balanced optimism with restraint, and French artist Marthe Romme’s figure seems to embody that tension with warmth wrapped tightly around the body, style kept graphic and controlled, and color rationed to a few emphatic notes. Publishing houses such as Sauvage issued portfolios like “Les Douze Mois de l’Année” as collectible sets, turning the passage of time into a gallery of silhouettes. Romme’s winter becomes a visual statement that’s quiet, pared back, and still luminous … where snow floats like ornaments and braving the cold weather looks chic.

“Siesta” by Doris Lee (American) - Oil on canvas / 1944 - National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington, DC) #WomenInArt #art #artText #artwork #BlueskyArt #arte #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #DorisLee #NMWA #AmericanArt #AmericanArtist #NationalMuseumofWomenintheArts #WomenPaintingWomen
A dark-brown–skinned woman reclines on a bed set improbably outdoors, as if a private bedroom has been carried into a meadow. She lies with one arm tucked behind her head, eyes closed, her posture loose and unguarded. A soft peach dress drapes over her body in broad, simplified folds while a wreath of green leaves crowns her hair. Across her torso, a hand fan rests like it has just slipped from use. The bed’s white metal headboard curls into decorative loops, and a patterned blanket of deep blue and warm rust blocks turns the mattress into a quilt-like field of color. In the grass nearby are an open book, a bowl of cherries, elegant shoes, and a stoppered bottle. A tree stump doubles as a bedside table with a wine glass and small dish. A bird perches near the headboard and a rooster stands alert at the foot of the bed, watchful as a living “alarm clock.” Trees and a wide sky frame the scene, making rest feel both expansive and strangely staged. American artist Doris Lee’s folk-art clarity of flattened space, crisp outlines, and punchy patterns makes the painting feel like a memory or a daydream of domestic life, but untethered from walls and rules. The playful bed and meadow mismatch invites questions like is this a real nap, a fantasy of ease, or a portrait of longing for it? The cherries and wine suggest pleasure and abundance just as the open book hints at leisure chosen for the self. Seen in the context of 1944, during a world shaped by war and rationing, the painting can feel like an insistence on softness as a form of endurance so rest is not laziness, but rightful renewal. Lee built a career depicting everyday American life in an accessible, widely loved visual language, so this scene’s “simple” charm is also deliberate craft. By centering a dark-skinned woman in unhurried repose, Lee offers an image of dignity so a body is allowed to be comfortable, protected by the ordinary rituals of comfort, even when those rituals unfold in a surreal, pastoral stage.
