Shuddering thinking about what the reference material was.
This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, that's his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statute by Marco d’Agrate from c.1562 is currently on display at Duomo di Milano.

A first pass at a starter pack of magazines—actual printed ones—on Bluesky. Some may be less than official (see: TIME) and I’ll try to take them out if it’s obvious they’re not real. More nominations welcome, though it seems like a whole bunch of publications are not yet here. go.bsky.app/BKWbdqG

Amazon officially launched its ultra-cheap site to compete with Temu, where most products will cost less than $10.
We wrote about these plans last month, and how utterly gross it is to produce—and buy!—things so cheaply.
