Interestingly, the side bar is not updated when I update the OP title. Or maybe not interesting.

That's conceptual art for you.

If you ask me, all subsequent art is just a minor footnote to the thing where you put your hand on the wall of the wave and blow pigment around it.

Not that Lessing's paintings aren't good. But the classics are underappreciated.

I still think that an empty frame called "Take the Money and Run" is the only worthwhile piece of conceptual art since, well, Duchamp's urinal.

Apparently there's some artwork out there that's the kind of simple shapes and colors that prompt viewers to say "I could do that!" and then the artist's statement is "But you didn't."

AIHMHB, my advisor has published a paper where the entire abstract is, "At times, but in other places quite concrete."

There was an econ paper entitled something like "Unit roots in GDP: Do we know? Should we care?" The abstract consisted of the words "No, and probably not."

Re: fascinating -- Because she watches a lot of Peppa Pig, the Infanta is now in the habit of saying very seriously: "interesting!" In a very adorable way.

I can't watch that show because the dad's voice sounds like mucous going down a wall.

"Free Guy" is essentially the same as "They Live" because a white guy insists a black friend put on a pair of sunglasses and it changes things.

It is basically the same as The Matrix except the dickheads in sunglasses who run round shooting everyone are the bad guys and the machines are good.

I didn't watch it except the scene where he gave the guy sunglasses.
