Starring... a de-aged Brad Douriff, in the role of a lifetime!

Ok, I just gotta pause, take a breath, and say - the selection of art in this instance has consistently been beyond outstanding. So many surprises such as this. A Penrose doing abstract art with mathematical underpinings... so delightfully fitting.

I've loved the history of art for decades now, yet in every regular wave of images posted here by you, I discover so many things I never knew existed.

Meanwhile, Ignacio over there, aka Nacho:
What am I to you, chopped liver, güey? Cabrón...

Also the owner of the cheese shop, the finest in this manor, squire. So clean... certainly uncontaminated by cheese.

Can any mere man wield such ferocious, blinding power?
A terrifyingly, beautiful thing to behold. But only just a glance.
I'm scared, feel like... like an Upper Neolithic man witnessing Nikolai Tesla inside his Faraday cage, as the bright blue electric current crackles and arches all around him.

Go home, evolution, you're drunk... or tripping balls on a heroic dose, sounds more like it.

The red chair of death... to the lumbar region.

A chronic compulsive content-stealer creature like gallowboob might have encompassed that 15% all by himself.

When I was a kid, our family's portable stereo had a bunch of weird radio bands on it, by which I mean anything other than AM and FM, the edges of some shortwave bands picked up the radio chatter of local fishermen here and there.

One time a friend and I stumbled into one of these conversations, the engine of some boat had stalled, my friend plugged in the headphones into the microphone jack and started to talk with the guy on the other end.
Of course he wasn't, but his improv and timing was impeccable, it really did seem like the setup was working as a transmitter also.

Decades later, I still clearly remember the way my friend mimicked an adult and technical conversation to a tee, promising to the stranded fishermen that backup was on the way... into the right earcup of a set of headphones.

Ranked choice voting negatively impacts only those who benefit from the narrative that people are stupid, to be force-fed their policies and their infotainment.

For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons.

How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits?

Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do.
If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
