This oil painting, titled "The Sound of the Night," was created by American artist Richard Schmid in 2004. It depicts a serene and intimate scene of a man standing by a window in a dimly lit room, listening to music from a wooden phonograph.
The man's reflection in the window adds extra depth

A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

So here is the thing about teenagers: they are children playing at adulthood. That cognitive dissonance is hard for a lot of ppl & doesn’t mesh w a society based on reducing everyone to a consumer demo. Our job as adults, tho, is to provide them w the safety & support networks they need 1/5

The historian Richard Rhodes uses the term “public man-made death.” He was referring to war, but also Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward. We are in the face of a public man-made death now. And it is our opportunity to hold people accountable."
