I love art and all things Japanese and people who are nice and kind.
Well sometimes you need a
Honey Mushroom just to take your mind off things. Of course I’m not 100% sure that they are honey mushrooms but they look nice anyway don’t they. #fungifriends

I had not heard this quote from Bob Marley and now I may have to embroider it on a pillow or something.

What a post by Joyce Carol Oates . . .
... I immediately thought of a quote from Bob Marley:
"Some people are so poor, all they have is money."

More about books please! Less about He who Shall Not be Named….
Breaking News: David Szalay’s “Flesh,” a rags-to-riches tale of a taciturn Hungarian teenager, won the Booker Prize, one of literature’s pre-eminent awards. nyti.ms/43iCWDi
2025 Booker Prize Goes to David Szalay’s ‘Flesh’
The rags-to-riches tale had already made fans of Zadie Smith and Dua Lipa. Roddy Doyle, who chaired the judging panel, called the book “singular” and “extraordinary.”

They even made a shadow of the tail! I mean really. I hope they gave the workers a bonus. Assuming they weren’t slaves……
Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

I think we tend to forget that many of our famous painters started as war artists. They did not forget.

Thinking of my grandmother whose husband served in WWI and then her son was in WWII. Just going through that twice in one lifetime. Brutal. Let’s not do it again - lest we forget.
This photo shows the Great Hall at Christmas in 1914.
The men are soldiers of the 7th West Yorkshire Volunteers Band.
They would be sent to the Front and would take part in some of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.

Van Gogh’s ‘Field with Poppies’ was painted from an elevated viewpoint during his stay in Saint-Paul Asylum. Its acquisition in 1911 by a German gallery was criticised as being part of a perceived “foreign infiltration of German art” by French paintings (Kunsthalle Bremen, 1889)

Sadly still appropriate in the 21st century
Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

They were just so creative in the late 1400’s…

Always touching to know that they are not forgotten.
At the abbaye d'ardenne Kurt Meyer and his SS thugs murdered young Canadian soldiers. But the local people turned it into a shrine.They never forgot their sacrifice.
I was honoured to lay a wreathe to those young men.
We will always remember those who stood up to fascist hate.

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

Yes! Why can’t there be a max multiple of the median wage! I think 1000x is ridiculous. Maybe max 100?
Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?
