The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I got the Laurelhurst Community Council's meeting minutes before they took down their website. You'll never guess what they had to say about the helicopters flying sick kids to the hospital: www.thestranger.com/news/laurelh...

thestranger.comLaurelhurst Community Council Isn’t Sure Helicopters Needed to Land Sick Kids at the Hospital  - The StrangerThis, the affluent North Seattle neighborhood will tell helicopters are quite the nuisance. Such a nuisance that a neighborhood group wanted to make sure the hospital wasn't landing flights on the helipad for non-emergency reasons, like a broken leg.

Arkhip Kuindzhi's paintings astound the eye. As a young man he was apprenticed to Ivan Aivazovsky, the renowned russian painter whose works have ended up in concept art and film lookbooks in recent decades. Arkhip's own are more bold and graphic than his masters, yet nonetheless magnificent.

Aside from the good they can and do perform, boycotting things you want is crucially important for the simple fact that you have to be able to allow yourself to be materially impacted by your values or they’re fucking worthless. They’re smoke and mirrors. They’re NOTHING.

one of the odd things about reactions to appointments etc is how often people say "and they're so incompetent!" as though what you want in office is a highly competent fascist, instead of a bumbling one
