Winter Solstice hitting a bit hard with the dark and all? #ArtAdventCalendar has you covered
For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 21 our winter solstice: This is a linocut print with collaged Japanese washi papers of a procession of Kolędnicy, or Kolęda carollers through the woods to honour the sun at Winter Solstice. The tradition, also known as Koliada or kolędowanie, dates to pre-Christian times 🧵

Tyler Adams has a torn MCL and is expected to miss "two or three months", per Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola 🇺🇸
A rough break, but with a home World Cup on the horizon it could be worse. Wishing him strength and a speedy return. Here's to the comeback 💪

"A new study has found that eating 50g or more of high-fat cheese a day correlates with a lower risk of developing dementia. That means all cheeses with more than 20 percent fat content, including brie, gouda, cheddar, parmesan, gruyere, and mozzarella." www.sciencealert.com/cheese-linke...

This ended up in my lap, which is OK I guess. I've been taken in by both of these players before and regretted it, but the moral of the story is it doesn't matter what other people tell you. Sometimes you just have to make the mistake yourself.

TL;DR Vanity Fair article? Seth has you covered! This is a great recap thread which takes into account that Susie Wiles is perhaps not the most trust-worthy source/narrator
Some takeaways from the Susie Wiles interview in no particular order. 1) Before anyone congratulates her on telling the truth, we must first acknowledge that when it comes to the craziest and most unqualified cabinet members...she absolutely fucking loves it because deep state something something.

Silence of the Lambs, NYC theater, last scene where she's stumbling around in the dark and Buffalo Bill is swiping at her -- entire theater started yelling and screaming. In retrospect, amazing to use old timey horror action a la Frankenstein and get that reaction, sign of great storytelling
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

And most of the people here, 1 had known them for a third of my life, and the way that only my brother knows what it was to live in our childhood home, to be of our fam-ily, only these people, the witnesses and the officials and the reporters, knew what it was to be in the eye of the distortion field as it swept from Manhattan across the country.
Time folded, stretched, turned. I turned on the heel of my pink Gucci stilettos from where I was standing, outside the facade of the Gucci store in the atrium, to face the fabled golden escalator. In my mind the stilettos morphed into the black Prada stilettos I had been wearing the day when I first stepped onto the marble here. I could remember it clearly, what the sun looked like outside, how it shone on the buttons on the uniforms of the doormen. I wore a white angora sweater and I could remember how it felt warm to the touch when I entered the building, because it had been unseasonably warm that day. It was freezing in the lobby, then as now.
That morning, I had met one of the president's aides in the café downstairs. We talked for a long while. She would become over time a close friend. The equivalent, in some ways, to my brother in my childhood home. A vital witness against whose judgment I checked my own perceptions and experiences in my capacity as another American citizen bearing close witness to events, and in my official role as witness, drafting one of the early records of what went on here and later in Wash-ington. That day, she told me that if I stuck around, the candidate would meet with me. It was almost noon by that point, and she said he was still upstairs in his penthouse apartment, but he would come down to his office sometime soon to begin his workday, and he would meet with me then. Quickly and self-consciously and unprompted she offered a
