27 If I can say about a piece of art that "I could do that" it's not great art. The difference between me and Jackson Pollack is that he is Jackson Pollock.
Would probably hang in an office.

55 The abstract expressionist gaslighting is still going on but not as bad as in the 50's through the 70's.

The art world is made up of mostly leftists so it makes sense.

The accepted term is of course "Abstract Expressionism," but it is quite obviously absurd, so, yes!

But, is that name stepping on another silly art category? I have no idea!

Seriously, I do enjoy Pollock's works when I see them in museums, exactly because they are often so imposing. That doesn't make up for the chaos, but they are impressive.

86 Looks rather like the underside of a carpet from the '70s.

All seriousness aside, and as much as I often find images and interesting things to comment on with abstract artworks, this one has . . . very little. There are occasional hints of color, but then long threads or strands are rather off-putting. Perhaps that was Pollock's intention.

176 A day of two ago, we were discussing the negative impact of radical gays, especially Ts, on the general acceptance of gays and gay marriage. This article by a gay author explores that, and why the radical types are actually hurting gays. Here's the money quote:

If your goal is building lasting support for gay people, you might want to listen when gay people tell you you’re hurting the cause. But if your goal is merely virtue signaling to your fellow progressives, then gay people questioning you poses a threat.

If you actually care about gay people and building or maintaining support for gay marriage, you’ll want to avoid unnecessarily polarizing people. You’ll want to build bridges, not burn them.

But many activists are more concerned with appearing to care about gay people than actually caring about gay people.

The thing about virtue signaling is there’s nothing virtuous about it. It’s deeply self-absorbed. It’s all about you and your status among your peer group.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Oh wait, I said exactly this.

. . . .
The festivities were also once again the site of numerous “evening bites”, a trend in which people are surreptitiously stabbed with syringes full of date rape drugs. According to Le Parisien, dozens of women came forward claiming to have been attacked in such a manner.

While often associated with rape or sexual assault at music venues or nightclubs, the practice has also been tied to other crimes, such as theft. Indeed, one of the identified victims on Sunday evening was a man who said that he was stung near the Place de la République by a man who “was walking around with syringes on his belt”.

Allen: That's quite a lovely Jackson Pollock, isn't it?

Woman: Yes, it is.

Allen: What does it say to you?

Woman: It restates the negativeness of the universe. The hideous lonely emptiness of existence. Nothingness. The predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless, bleak straitjacket in a black, absurd cosmos.
