Wyeth set his dark, surreal self-portrait in the odd little out building on Southern Island, the 22-acre island just off Tenants Harbor that Andrew’s wife Betsy purchased in 1978. Betsy refurbished the building to meticulously replicate Admiral Lord Nelson’s actual captain’s quarters, from the black and white floors to the curved beams.
“I don’t know how she did it, but she got all these exacting details, and retrofitted this existing, simple structure into this incredible replication. She gave it to Andrew as a gift, to use as a studio,” said MacDonald. “‘Dr. Syn’ is his reciprocal gift back to her on her 60th birthday, though that name is never a name he gave to it. Betsy called it ‘Dr. Syn.’ The tag on it read, ‘To the Queen of Southern Island, from Old Bones.’”
As good an explanation as any.

Plenty of skeletons in art rooms and science rooms. Usually they were only 5 feet tall for some reason.
Posted by: BourbonChicken at December 19, 2022 09:46 AM (44ww/)
Yep. I had a Phys. Anth. course where I had to look at a lot of skeletons. Mostly third world-derived, lots of malnutrition, etc.
I think it's because poor countries yield more skeletons nobody cares about.
My favorite one was where my group had to find a cause of death... the project had two class periods built in for it. I took one look at our skeleton, pulled out the calipers, and said ".45cal gunshot wound. He was kneeling down. Execution. See you guys next week."

Also a well-remembered Disney TV series (back when Disney = real entertainment), "Scarecrow of Romney Marsh," with Patrick McGoohan, prior to Danger Man/Secret Agent, as the vicar who dons the mask to battle Her Majesty's soldiers. I don't know how closely the series followed the novels, since I've never read them.

I did that puzzle and didn't even notice. Possibly because I did it on my phone screen and the first thing I do is enlarge it. I do know that the puzzle writers will sometimes make the overall shape a part of the theme but there was no connection to the clues or answers that I noticed. Now I'll have to go back and reread every line.

And on film. In the '50s drama Hell Drivers (which features the young David McCallum and Sean Connery), McGoohan plays a near-madman who is determined to maintain his score as the fastest driver. Scary.
Stanley Baker plays the lead. In those days he would not have made a bad Bond himself.

And it's an intersection of a number of Bond or semi-Bond connections. Connery, of course; McGoohan was offered the role but turned it down for moral reasons; McCallum starred in the Bond-lite for TV Man From U.N.C.L.E., and Herbert Lom guested on that show, as did McCallum's then-wife Jill Ireland. And Baker had a lot of the Bond look. Had they filmed, say, Moonraker at that time, he'd have been a good choice.

"I expect to reduce my time at Twitter and find somebody else to run Twitter over time," he said, according to CNBC.

Just the recorded segment is mind-blowing in its sense of historical contradiction. This speech should be put alongside Ike's warning about the Military-Industrial COmplex and Reagan's warning about Freedom being only a generation away from vanishing. I'm not a real conspiracy man about JFK's death, but the way certain institutions took advantage of it in the weeks that followed it was the proof of this address.
