Then vs Now: the decline and fall, from an equine perspective
Then:
George Stubbs A Lion Attacking A Horse was painted sometime around 1765… The horse is majestic but doomed, the lion, a ravaging monster. It’s Claude Lorraine meets Lord of The Rings.
Now:
The shocking pictures come from the animal park at Xiamen in Fujian, south-east China, where the public seem to delight in humiliating circus-style stunts and have no regard for animal cruelty. Conditions are poor, with big cats including lions, tigers and leopards and other large animals including bears kept in solitary confinement in tiny cages.
So I see the fin was a little late this siècle.

Anonymous Video: the outtakes!
Anonymous vs Scientology, the video, is a true masterpiece of anarchist art; simultaneously exciting, enticing, and intimidating, it leaves the viewer both appalled and attracted. Or at least it does if you’re the sum total of my circle of friends. So what if they all hated it! It’s MY circle, dammit, so I have super-voting shares, just like Conrad Black.
This is an anarchy and I run it.
In any case, like everything from the creation of humanity to the blogosphere on down, great art is not achieved without a few false starts. For those of you returning from the Anonymous VS Scientology showdown in London today, here is something to keep the buzz going:

Genetic Manipulation News: The Longhorse Lives!
Oft have we and many other notables of the blogosphere lamented the passing of the iconic Longhorse, most noble of beasts, most loyal of friends, most helpful of livestock, and, until now, most extinct of creatures.
We mourn no longer.
Inspired, perhaps, by the leg-lengthening operations so popular amongst Asians with high net worth and higher pain thresholds, or then again, perhaps by the spine-extension procedures perfected by Dr. Francois Charriere in his rotting and ghoul-haunted Providence house, modern science has dipped into the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and re-created the noble Longhorse, offering it on a for-profit basis in what can only be described as a Frankensteinian nightmare of simultaneous triumph and horror.
Dr. Boli has the proof:
Cautiously optimistic as I may be about advances in science, I think even the most coldly rational among us must pause and consider the implications of turning banal Dobbins into a tawdry modern similacrum of what was once one of nature’s most beautiful creations. Are we not all too familiar with what can occur when Man seeks to usurp the role of Creator?

quiz: what kind of a redhead should you be?
Yet another nail on the head, although this time more literally. Thanks be to the seventy-fourth avatar of the goddess Feria I have now aligned my inner redhead with my outer and become as fiery on the exterior as my friends know me to be on the interior. Bring on the mens!
You Should Be a Fiery Redhead |
