Renaming the Kennedy Center, our national fine arts center, after such a coarse, lowbrow, and ignorant buffoon is America at its very stupidest.

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 17: Embroidered cushion cover
Today’s Advent treat is this brightly-coloured cushion cover or wall hanging, bustling with dense embroidery.
In the intricate scene of intertwined flowers, figures and creatures, you can spot stags and various birds.

Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.
Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.
There's your difference

Incredibly brave. Imagine the faceless bores the BBC will have making their programmes if they continue down this path.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I used to work for an American company and there was always the possibility of moving out there.
You honestly couldn't pay me enough to even try to visit there now

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.
The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.
Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

Should you wear a mask if you've got symptomatic flu? YES. If you wear it at home *from the onset of your symptoms*, your family members are much less likely to catch flu from you (but you must avoid unmasked co-sleeping and eating around same table - have your meals alone). 1/

Life is a balance between holding on and letting go. Rumi
And another of my paintings where as a lifetime dog owner who has never had a cat, I put myself through the ringer hoping I'd captured the essence of a cat and not just a painting of one.
It's one of my cards.....

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 7: Decorated Elizabethan Trenchers
These decorated wooden trenchers, made around 1600, would have been used as dining plates at banquets on special occasions. Placed face down on a table they would have held sugared fruits, marzipan or other sugary delicacies.
