It's the "I don't know about it, therefore it doesn't exist" mentality

Yes, it's true. Individuals, cultures, ideas - and much more! - exist outside the confines of teeny, tiny minds. And also narcissistic ones. :/

I still don't think they'd get enough Republican support.

oh, no. lol. I do like some portraiture! I often need context though, unless it's something like The Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Oh... Chait. Yeah.

Kevin Drum?

I was new to the internet prior to 9/11. Had found a few blogs to follow, Political Animal (I think that was KD's blog?) and Eschaton.

And then, the bullshit he spouted. Ugh. Still pisses me off he was at Mother Jones for so long.

(well, *I* don't like strawberry icecream. you may love it. ;)

Start with ice cream. Just because you don't like strawberry ice cream doesn't mean it isn't good. ;)

oh wow. yes please.

Yeah, baroque use of light could be amazing
October 13, 2023 at 1:53 PM
When I think of baroque my first thought is "ugly furniture," lol (I do like medieval furniture/architecture). Baroque paintings are hit or miss for me. I can like Rivera, Vermeer, and decoding some of the still lifes can be fun. Not a fan of portraiture generally though.

I can find medieval art technically beautiful but ultimately most is of a religious/Christian nature & doesn't move me. Which isn't the same thing as thinking it's "bad" of course. Also, not an art historian. /aside
