'Logan's Rock, St Levan,' (c1916) perfectly demonstrates the height of Laura Knight’s development in Cornwall, this work is part of a series of paintings she composed between 1915 and 1919 all sharing an elevated viewpoint, dramatic diagonal composition and vibrant colour.

They really are going with "you and your neighbor both paid $10,000 for health insurance last year and that mooch got a heart transplant while you got bupkiss! Is that fair?".
I wonder if we're far enough past the uninsured / preexisting condition days that voters will fall for it?

Remember that insurance is actually a thing you hope never to use, and then read this critique.

A smart guy at the grocery store said he was going to have to call my parents because my i.d. wasn't scanning. I told him he would have to meet them on the other side as they are dead. My social skills are lacking.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

A new USPS policy enacted by Trump's first Postmaster General could delay mail nationwide. The little-known initiative coupled with the GOP’s ongoing push to restrict mail voting could put millions of the party’s rural voters at risk in future elections.

Quote from Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million to the U.S. military, so you know who we’re dealing with:
“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations”.

Like many of you, I am thinking that perhaps France woud like to hire me to help figure this thing out. I have watched a lot of Mrs Marple and Poirot and would have seen that ladder YESTERDAY.

Something soothing for thine eyes
'River by Moonlight' (1886) George Henry differed from the other members of the Glasgow Boys, who, at the time of this work, were painting naturalistic scenes inspired by Bastien-Lepage. Henry preferred compositions with designs focused on achieving an overall decorative effect.

agreed!
The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

My father had over a million dollar debt after spending several months in the hospital, our country is broken.
It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.
Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.
Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.
Not one.
To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.
