The nice thing about spending $100M+ on art by someone who's dead is you don't have to worry about the dumb old artist who created the work deriving any benefit from the money used to purchase it, as a reward for his or her skills and efforts.

Yeah, it's a shame artists are only ever allowed to create one thing and never profit off their fame.

Seriously, this. You could even say he has two considering how @WhiteHouse tweets.

I can't wait for when he leaves office and the right jumps on Emperor Obama for not giving up the @POTUS handle quickly enough to his successor.

Given who his successor will be, they'll likely portray her as a shrill harpy hounding him to give it to her. Hatred of Hillary will be in, and Obama hate will be out.

And this isn't unique at all. Most of the republican candidates have Twitter accounts. Ted Cruz has had one since 2009, and Rubio since 2008.

It's just outright lying at this point. That's how unhinged Ramirez is becoming.

Well, the unique thing this time, at least the first tweet implies, is that while previous handles were run by staffers (occasionally a tweet would end -bo to indicate Obama actually wrote it), this new handle is ALL being handled directly by Obama

Painter Atena Farghadani faces prison for drawing a cartoon in Iran

Amnesty International posted:

Atena Farghadani is a prisoner of conscience, detained and facing years in prison for her peaceful activism.

28-year-old Atena will be tried on 19 May on charges including ‘spreading propaganda against the system’ and ‘insulting members of parliament through paintings’.

...

Iran is currently creating a law that will roll back women’s rights in the country by restricting access to contraception and criminalising voluntary sterilisation. Atena’s cartoon, which depicted politicians in favour of this Bill, is now being held against her – one of the charges she faces at her trial on Tuesday 19 May is ‘insulting members of parliament through paintings’.

While in prison last year, Atena flattened paper cups to use them as a surface to paint on. When the prison guards realised what she had been doing, they confiscated her paintings and stopped giving her paper cups. When Atena found some cups in the bathroom, she smuggled them into her cell. Soon after, she was beaten by prison guards, when she refused to strip naked for a full body search. Atena says that they knew about her taking the cups because they had installed cameras in the toilet and bathroom facilities – cameras detainees had been told were not operating.


Looks like those monkeys and boars in parliament did it again - what a bunch of animals.

Back in 1998, Non Sequitur did a storyline where a radio host interviewed "Red Tall". You can probably figure out who Wiley's poking fun at.
