If I were so stupid as to do something like this I don't think I could ever look anyone in the eye again. Except that if I were that stupid I would probably be completely clueless as to how I had so humiliated myself. I suppose though, considering the pretentiousness rampant in the art world,...

So, once again we have an isolated sliver of something Trump said being manipulated into saying something he didn’t actually say. Before going further, let’s get what he actually said out there so we have the context. Yes, I know. Context schmontext is the attitude of many here but it matters to...

“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump posted on his social media website. “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to...

“I'm here for you, Ink. ”
Not long ago, a blog was posted by one of our members about the ten greatest films of all time. It was a survey. I should have posted about this film but, well... If asked what one of the five greatest films ever produced to date was, in my opinion, Ink would definitely be there. The reason I...
