@Kaysymmetry not to start this here, but it seems crazy to me that other people don’t have an internal voice and others can’t mentally slice an apple however they want.

Anyways, Heavy Metal music is actually the longest lasting “Pop” genre ever. Look it up. Rock N Roll is here to stay, it’s our favourite, and someone will paint a bunch more murder paintings and some of those will be considered the greatest things ever devised, just like metal and punk, and just like I hope the tastes of my naggy coworker are too. It’s a whole world, gang /end

This thing is with art is that it’s done with intention. There is good and bad art, Pop Music is done as art as well. What we must do as auditors is champion ideals of art, interrogate and criticize art, we must separate art from non-art and say so. The part that is subjective about art is when we critically disagree about content, not whether or not it IS. 6/

But would a reasonable person see this painting and even look at the other viewers and cackle “must really love baby murder! Haha what a laugh haha must hate babies!”? No. Nobody sane would. 5/

In high school English class in Canada, we learned about ‘Subject’, ‘Topic’, and ‘Theme’. The subject is a biblical incident, the topic is violence, and the theme is either religion or death. 4/

That painting is called the “massacre of the innocents”, painted in 1610, and it depicts part of the murder of all the newborns in Bethlehem by Herod the Great in response to the birth of Jesus Christ 3/

The most globally important piece of art in the entire country of Canada is a northern Renaissance masterpiece by Rubens. I’ve seen it and it fantastic! 2/

My coworker hates heavy metal and punk because she believes it’s “angry”. Well it is. Anger and every other emotion a human can feel. Because it’s Art. 1/

@tyghebright when I was in archaeology field school, we discovered some quicksand and everybody gathered around to get a quick lesson about its various dangers. It was about 6 inches deep.

@tyghebright another all timer Tweet I made once: Cars kill and injure way more people than werewolves. A werewolf is full on mayhem and carnage once a month, but it kills like a dozen people max between “witching hour” and 5 AM?

@DavidSalo well the opposite of any piece of good advice is itself good advice. Wisdom is learning how to apply that.

@Curiousfoolish this week, my roommate and I needed a quite room to chat out some stuff, so we went to a nearby hotel bar which was…hosting a DJ at 4:30 in the evening on a Sunday?

@thegamerauthor my only beef is that it shouldn’t matter what I do with something after I’ve scanned it.
