Maybe it's a miniature pony.

I just don't get the appeal. I'd rather read a book, scroll Mastodon or look at the scenery while traveling than have to focus on the road.

I don't think Americans realize how many hours of their lives get wasted just so they don't have to sit next to strangers.

Americans would rather sit in a car for an hour than next to a stranger for ten minutes.

I think it's over-saturation. In person it's very bright with more muted colors, as in my pic.

Currin's style has been described as "American grotesque," which I think is apt.

I guess most of its fans know it for its collection rather than its museum. From the wikipedia page:

The Morgan Library & Museum has long contained a collection of illuminated manuscripts,[230] which date from the sixth to sixteenth centuries.[118][146][231] As early as 1923, the Morgan Library counted 560 illuminated manuscripts in its collection,[232] a number that had grown to over 1,100 by the 21st century.[231]

Republicans weren't committing genocide in 2024 -Democrats were.

@edible_funk

Just saying, when you support genocide, some people will take a stand, and you won't always like how they do it.

. . . not to mention lying about it, calling opponents of genocide antisemites . . .

I'm sorry if you still can't see how some people would look at all of that and realize that both sides want them dead.

@Cethin @SalamenceFury

The Democratic party's support for genocide makes it really hard to tell where the legitimate criticism ends and the trolling begins.

And that's nobody's fault but theirs.

@cloud_wanderer

For me it's closely related to my recovery from CPTSD, so it's not reaching maturity so much as correcting childhood maladaptations.
