Someone I used to know at the BBC once told me there is nothing BBC people enjoy more than talking about the BBC.

I think there is a grain of truth here. Maybe the middle-aged are tetchier because we are continually exhausted by work, family and/or raging comedowns?

Jean-Marie Gitard, known as Mr. Strange, uses surreal digital art and sharp humor to question reality in a world ruled by blind capitalism. His politically charged creations expose humanity’s contradictions, blending irony and symbolism to critique its self-inflicted enslavement. #digitalart #art
