SOCRATES: No god is a philosopher or seeker after wisdom, for he is wise already; nor does any man who is wise seek after wisdom.
PLATO: Neither do the ignorant seek after wisdom.

Can't make this up: "'Trumpery' became a fashionable word" in 1840s England to describe the overuse of cheap decorative elements on houses. (Muthesius, Stefan. The English Terraced House. Yale U Pres, 1982. p242.)

A list dedicated to films about westerners in serious trouble or way out of their depth in the global south of the border. A work in progress.

Experimenting with gouache a bit this week. Was getting frustrated with the slowness required, struggling with it not looking like what I’m used to with watercolor, so I started adding silly creatures til it was fun again. Don’t ask why they all have 1 eye. They just do. 🎨

huh, weird, all the other banky murals get protected and promoted by the authorities, wonder what's different about this one
"The artwork has already been concealed by large sheets of black plastic and two metal barriers".
Of course it has. That is how the British state deals with problems, just cover them up and don't let anyone get close.
Not to mention the uniformed guards.

Orson Welles’ Lost Movie Will Use AI to Reconstruct Missing 43 Minutes
Since the rise of generative artificial intelligence in 2022, the technology has mostly been plugged into parts of the production pipeline as far as its deployment in Hollywood. Think visual effects, dubbing and storyboarding. As it stands, it’s mostly thought of as a tool to streamline certain processes and cut costs.
