11 hour circumpolar time-lapse video of the apparent movement of the stars around Polaris, the North Star.

No meteors seen, just a few aircraft and satellites.

Crivelli, Saint Catherine of Alexandria (c.1491-4) + Crivelli, Madonna and Child (c.1480)

A sign of an artist’s skill since Giotto, both works feature a trompe l’œil fly—painted out of scale—that appears to have landed on the paintings

#SideBySide #Art #ArtHistory #Crivelli #TrompeLOeil #fly
Two Renaissance religious paintings side by side. On the left is a depiction of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child: Mary, dressed in an ornate blue-and-gold patterned robe with a white veil, cradles the infant Jesus on her lap. Behind her, a halo and hanging fruits, including a cucumber and peaches, frame her figure, while a serene landscape stretches into the background. On the right is a painting of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, standing gracefully in a stone niche. She wears a regal gown of red, green, and gold with a crown on her head, holding a palm branch in one hand and resting her other hand on a large spiked wheel, her traditional attribute symbolizing her martyrdom. Close up of two painted flies from Renaissance artworks. On the left, a small, dark fly perches realistically on the edge of a white stone ledge against a patterned background of fabric and drapery, casting a delicate shadow that enhances the illusion of its presence. On the right, another fly appears on a pale wall surface, rendered with careful attention to its wings, legs, and shadow, creating a trompe-l'œil effect as though it has landed directly on the painting’s surface.

Someone's found the perfect response:
Pelican crossing lights daubed with the St George cross have been turned, by today's biggest hero, into what looks like slices of Battenberg cake.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.
Diagram titled 'Possible causes of your problems'. On the left hand side, subtitled 'Yes': Funding removed from local councils, growing gap between rich and poor, multinational companies not paying their taxes, lack of new affordable housing, government not investing sufficiently in schools and healthcare. On the right hand side, subtitled 'No': Picture of small boat, with arrow; 'People fleeing horrific situations that you and I can't imagine'.
