The Storm, (2019) — Karl Wennergren
#Art #Painting

A dark, dramatic oil painting depicting a lone, pale figure in a white garment standing in the dark, turbulent sea. The sky is dominated by swirling, dark storm clouds, with a bright, intense yellow light from the setting or rising sun illuminating the horizon and a distant bridge structure on the left.

First day of summer in Australia today!

4 panel comic: the first 3 panels show a person inside a house, talking to the rising sun outside their window. First panel text is the sun saying "Come outside", and the person saying "No" with an angry look on their face. Second panel has the Sun saying "I'll give you vitamin D" while the person just says "eh". Third panel the Sun says "and serotonin" and the person says "Ok fine". The final panel shows the person walking outside - the Sun says "haha enjoy skin cancer bitch" while the person winces and says "you fucker"

When people completely disappear from Mastodon I often wonder if they end up in the same place as all those lost socks.

Golden age panel of a man in a gaudy colored costume. Red cape, long sleeve green shirt, belt, blue pants, wristbands. Alternating yellow and orange light emanates behind him. At the top of his name, “DYNAMAN.“ In the lower right corner it says, “By Steve Dahlman.”

What I believe Dougie-Cooper was trying to say "Jade gives two rides:"

"Now Janie-e, I can see you have an issue with Jade. I assure you she is a capital person. I'd just met her and she gave me a ride to the casino. Not sure what the first ride was. I hadn't come yet."

- Janie-e literally explodes in anger-

Coop: Unexpected.

Mike: Perhaps I should reiterate how important it is you do not die.

@dyckron file under why we can't have nice things.

I loved the satire radio show This Is That. It was ruined when CBC started having to label it satire.

The beginning of the end was This is That running a story that a Mississauga condo builder forgot to build bathrooms in 75% of the units.

I think several large news orgs reported on it and it went viral on Facebook. No one bothered to fact check or.... apparently use their brain.

Young people in the U.S. have been priced out of their dreams. Stop acting like it’s their fault.

Screenshot of a tweet from Cory Archibald on X.com criticizing claims that young people are “hoarding” devices. The tweet says Boomers spent years telling young people to save money, and now blame them for not buying $1500 phones and for “costing the economy” by living at home. Below is a tweet from unusual_whales stating that $12 billion a year is being lost because younger people spend less on housing, transportation, and food due to living with family.

"It felt like a part of my soul died."

Now Keira is one of many Greenlandic families living on the Danish mainland who are fighting to get their children returned to them after they were removed by social services.

In such cases, babies and children were taken away after parental competency tests - known in Denmark as FKUs - were used to help assess whether they were fit to be parents.

@anna_lillith I always hope Scandinavian countries will live up to their socially progressive reputations. But they lean into colonial mindsets just as hard as the rest of us. Wtf.

I saw Sisu: Road to Revenge last weekend and it may have been even better than the original. It’s an ultra violent revenge movie reminiscent of recent franchises like John Wick and Nobody or classics like Charles Bronson’s Death Wish. The twist? It’s during World War 2.
