Shelter boosted

Okay, my snark about the incompetence of the Times aside...

Tonight demonstrates that Americans these days strongly dislike it when rights are taken away from them, and when given the opportunity to vote on issues instead of gerrymandered representatives, they vote for more freedom instead of less.

I just did an area theater search because I wanted my first theater trip to a movie since December 2019 to be The Holdovers, and it's not playing anywhere that isn't about 45 minutes away when it hits wide release.
Anyway.
Of course.

I haven't had a cigarette since August 17th. I'm at the point where I mostly don't need the gum and use it maybe twice a day. Congratulations! You've got this!

Planet Earth III starts tonight at 8pm EDT on BBC-A and David Attenborough's ad narration (This. Is Planet Earth) has had this stuck in my head for weeks. Anyway, word is 3 is great but folks are detecting a sadness in Sir Dave's voice that hadn't been there before. I'm so excited for this series, though.

I was trying to explain the looking at the sun or bright light to release a stuck and it's apparently called ACHOO and I love science dorks.

When you walk into that room you see him first and suddenly you understand light and texture.
This is why it's my favorite painting.

I told my kid tonight that the subject was a random dude hired by the artist and he was like oh my God.
Yes.
This random subject is that powerful.

@TheRealDelia
Yes. That foot is about to step out.
This out of every single incredible piece of art I've ever seen was the One. It yanked me by the chest and slapped me.
It's incredible.

The Moorish Chief.
When I was a teenager and went with a class to The Philadelphia Museum of Art I wandered around thinking everything was actually pretty great and then turned into a room to see this.
I got out the poster I bought like 35 years ago and showed it to my kid tonight and he was like THAT LIGHT.
It's hard to describe.

It's super hard on the Internet to be like I'm not generally a fan of blah and then discovering that a blah you enjoy is wonderful and then people are like BUT YOU SAID.
It's exhausting, folks.
