Vsevolod Maximovich, 'The kiss' (1913)

Due to their hairstyles, the young couple looks a little like they are from classical antiquity. The man also has long hair. Their faces are barely recognisable, and the two are embracing each other.

Constant Mayer, 'Love’s melancholy' (1866)

https://www.artic.edu/artworks/131884/love-s-melancholy
Constant Mayer specialized in sentimental scenes of everyday life yet he also displayed a fidelity to nature that harmonized with the detailed landscapes painted by contemporary artists known as the Pre-Raphaelites. The young woman’s black dress, solemn disposition, and wedding ring signal a state of mourning. A church steeple in the background symbolizes her faith and purity, while the vegetation and stonework in the foreground suggest that she stands near her loved one’s grave. The golden lighting, low vantage point, and the figure’s windblown hair contribute to the air of introspection. Executed just after the Civil War, Love’s Melancholy resonated with the American public, who likely came to know the painting through a color reproduction that was produced and distributed by 1869.

Und hier der Clou:

Die Rechten machen es SOWIESO.

Während wir moralisch sind und verlieren,
manipulieren sie erfolgreich.

Unsere "Reinheit" schützt niemanden.

Unser Gewinnen schon.

Outcomes > Methoden.

Auf X freut man sich.
Es hat Sixtus erwischt.

Tweet des State-Departments, dass man einem deutschen Staatsbürger sein Visum entzogen hätte. Dazu ein Screenshot mit geschwärzten Namen und Profilbild aus Threads mit dem Text Wenn Faschisten sterben, jammern Demokraten nicht.

If there is still free historical scholarship anywhere in twenty years' time, this post will be an iconic symbol of Trump's reign, of the total assault on reason and completely uninhibited brutalisation.

White House account quoting a post by Trump on Truth Social, which features a picture of him posing as Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, with ‘Chipocalypse Now’ written next to him, and in the background, fire, the sea, helicopters and, further away, the Chicago skyline against an orange-red sky. The text of the post reads:

‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning...’

Chicago will soon find out why it's called the Department of WAR

Next to the word ‘WAR’ are three helicopter symbols. The White House post contains only three more helicopter symbols as its sole content.

Martha Liebermann ( 8. Oktober 1857- 10. März 1943) war nicht nur die Frau an der Seite von Max Liebermann, sie verfolgte ihre eigenen Interessen und war eine bekannte und geschätzte Persönlichkeit in Berlin. Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes war sie schutzlos den Machenschaften der Nazis ausgeliefert.

Ein Gemälde, das ihr Mann von ihr angefertigt hatte. Man sieht sie in einem dunklen Kleid, mit einem weißen Kragen, darüber ihr altersloses Gesicht und ihre braunen Haare

Ihr Stolperstein: hier wohnte Martha Liebermann, geborene Marckwald, Jahrgang 1857, Selbstmord 10. März 1943 vor der Deportation.

Ich durfte sie in einer spannenden Gruppe mitdefinieren, u.a. mit @jurgenpfeffer.bsky.social und @paulnemitz.bsky.social.

Hier eine der vielen News dazu:

„10 Regeln für die Digitale Welt“:

1. Erhebt digitale Technik nicht zum Selbstzweck.
2. Schreibt Maschinen keine Menschlichkeit zu.
3. Schafft Raum für Muße und analoge Begegnung.
4. Garantiert den Erhalt sozialer und demokratischer Kompetenzen.
5. Zerstört nicht die Natur für den technischen Fortschritt.
6. Behandelt Menschen nicht als bloße Datenobjekte.
7. Lasst Euch nicht Eurer menschlichen Potenziale berauben.
8. Verleugnet nicht die Grenzen der Technik.
9. Nutzt Maschinen nicht, um die Freiheit Anderer zu untergraben.
10. Verhindert Machtkonzentration und garantiert Teilhabe.

Axel Springer Verlag is right wing radical!
Always has been.
Axel Springer runs the tabloid 'BILD' for decades, lways scandalizing and canibalizing left and green politics and politicians.

In a way it's FOX NEWS in Print. 🤢

Post from Mad Dr. Jimbosaur
‪@jimbosaur.bsky.social‬
Jesus Christ, my opinion of Politico was low, but if your trip to Project 2025 gave you information that PROVED Trump lied about not knowing anything about it, why THAT isn't your headline is completely beyond me.
Politico Article abstract:
"In early July, the week before the Republican National Convention, former President Donald Trump — sensing the political liability that Project 2025 had become — took to social media to distance himself from the group, claiming (falsely, I learned) to “know nothing about Project 2025” and that he had “no idea who is behind it.”"

The blood moon was lovely but seeing it come out of the shadow going through all the phases within an hour was equally amazing

From a long ago road trip to Alaska, here is Denali, July 1988. It had been 9 days since the mountain had been visible - we were fortunate to see it that day.
