Forget about the $5k cash and $2/gal gas bribes, I'm hearing that if we keep giving the President unlimited powers he's going to show us the taxes he promised to show us "in two weeks" back in 2016, and I for one am excited!
I love these comparisons even if this one is pretty sad. Here is the 1941 vs 2004 view of the Muir Glacier in Alaska. Source: buff.ly/sKlaZoL
Laura Knight’s seemingly-effortless pencil sketch of her bare-footed Cornwall neighbour & friend Ella Naper, eating an apple as she looks back down at us from her perch on a tree in a local orchard (1916). Love those delicate shadows! www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/how-...

“You told me to show you something worth seeing. I show you yourself.”
Legend (1985). Marking Curry's passing with one of my fave "almost, but not quite" movies. It never quite works and more time was spent on the wind machine than the script, but damn if I don't think about it more than many better more coherent films.
The great ships in Bruegel's Icarus, like the wax & feather wings, exemplify extreme technology and mankind's hubris. Bruegel was rather skeptical about modernity. Today is his day.
One of Bruegel's harvesters looks deeply fed up at end of a long workday. Know just how she feels.
Now that almost all the votes are in (around 98%) from yesterday's state primary, let's take a look and see if there's an enthusiasm gap heading into November. Both parties' #NHSen primaries, a statewide race, were highly competitive contests. Ballots cast: Dem: 150,876 GOP: 106,818 #nhpolitics

The Attorney General of the United States is speaking at an explicitly partisan political rally tonight and I would never have even known if I wasn't a loser who looked up the speaking schedule myself. The Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting is so quaint.

(3/3) That ever rocked a child. Hush! Epigea wakens! The Crocus stirs her lids — Rhodora's cheek is crimson, She's dreaming of the woods! Then turning from them reverent — Their bedtime 'tis, she said — The Bumble bees will wake them When April woods are red.
