Honestly, you could make a crazy dystopian movie with all the lesser known stuff about the american system. I mean, the movie would only work in the actually developped countries of the world, it would be boring for y’all, but yeah, there is something there ^^.

Wait, do y’all have a limited number of sick days you can take ?
And if you’re sick more, you ... don’t get paid or anything ?

That’s lovely... Out here is Socialismland the only days I’ve ever given was a week of vacation time to a coworker whose kid had leukemia.
We get sick days every day we are sick. Because of…

Wouldn’t be wonderful if we had a system of health care that people wouldn’t have to depend on the kindness of strangers?

Famous for reasons that no one living can remember

“She could write a book, she would do a world of interviews. She knows where all the bodies are buried.”

Looking up some of Emin’s paintings, there’s a series that I can only describe as Jackson Pollack meets Patrick Nagel.

Dude, his work is critically reviled and - if you want look at it from the sales side - we have Hirst’s word that he’s raking in $200 - 300 million a show, but he’s never produced the receipts. And at auction, the pieces that are supposed to be important aren’t reaching the estimated sales figures.
He came along, he…

Calling his work hideous is a bit reductive, but at the same time, reading that Kylie Jenner has a bunch of Damien Hirst art in her home, my initial thought was: “Yeah, that sounds about right.”

I am 100% with you. Hirst’s work has never done anything for me; to a large extent, I find it to be “catalog art,” where the assumption is that you read the catalogue to find out What The Artist Meant and that fills in everything that the actual physical thing doesn’t. More importantly, I feel that the work itself…

Here’s some art for you gals (although I don’t think you’ll, like, “get it”).

I agree he is a great marketer. His work never leaves me in the middle - I either hate it or love it. Your opinion is worth the same as everyone else’s, sorry for the snarky initial response. While I don’t think his works are all hideous, I definitely agree that they are cold, in a way that is shared with Koons.

He’s not as highly regarded in the art world as the market would have you think. Successful? Yes. Important? eh.

He’s such a shitty artist that has no meaning other than making himself money. That’s good enough for simple people, but it doesn’t make it good art. And I hate the idea that because someone reacts to it, it’s a successful piece of art. I’m glad that way of thinking is passing by, because it’s about as shallow as can…

How so? The dead animals could certainly considered crass, but hideous? His really recent lilies I thought were really beautiful. 

A lot of Hirst’s work is shite. Not as fucking awful as Emin though. Christ. You turned your fucking unmade bed into artwork. Bravo.  Now get it made.

There is a KAWS bear near the water in Greenpoint that I roll my eyes at whenever I’m on the ferry. Not for me

Better than Koons imo. 

I really wish Cardi had not got into it with Owens. It’s only shining a light on (and legitimizing) her nonsense. People just need to stop taking Owens’ bait.

Owens could criticize Cardi B for being transphobic, for hosting parties during COVID, for doing the whole “I don’t care about my critics but here is a line by line rebuttal to their criticisms of me” schtick, for robbing people after an illegal but also consensual sexual encounter and trying to convince us that it’s…

Had it even occurred to Osbourne that Morgan was maybe looking for a reason to stage a walkout and get himself fired in a way that he’d be able to go work for Rupert Murdoch without breaking his ITV contract or having to wait out a non-compete, with a splash of “Victim Of Cancel Culture” headlines on the way out?…
