Your comment made it sound like the artist had defaced an historical object.
I’m no art critic, but I would interpret the work as a statement on a mundane, usually overlooked object becoming something dazzling and valuable (eta: as literally happened to Van Gogh, and you could go further and say he was sat on and used during life, etc; I can think of much more, but it doesn’t sound like you’ll care), but that’s just me.
The Jester is supposed to make the king giddy, not to be giddy himself. Apparently it was a bona fide career with skills – two things Elon can only pretend to understand.

How much can colouring books and crayons possibly cost?
US peace efforts are a feeble attempt at theatre. This isn’t defiance, just unbridled maliciousness. If anything, they’re using the US’s theatrical ‘opposition’ as justification, but let’s not kid ourselves. Trump is privately cheering this shit on no matter what bullshit falls from his anus-mouth in public to placate his redcaps.
Trump must have a death grip on this guy, considering he’s such a yuge pussy.
Oh no. I hope it’s something serious.
I’m interested to know if this was the case.
Totally secondhand info, but I used to have an ex-Amish friend who told me they often have a small shared outbuilding at the edge of their community that has a phone and a computer with Internet they can use in emergencies. She said some in the community were more liberal about the word ‘emergency’ than others.
(I’m a doofus who literally typed out ‘can any Amish on Lemmy confirm this’ then deleted it, though, so take my words with some salt.)
It isn’t actually Van Gogh’s chair, that’s just the name of the piece. It’s described as having a delicate inner structure covered in crystals (probably a wire frame). It’s not a real chair, which is why it collapsed instantly – it wasn’t created to hold any weight.
After all immigrants have been forced out, all social safety nets removed, and child labour laws repealed; after the resulting widespread poverty and famine. When Americans have no choice but to work in sweatshops for a dollar a day, then US manufacturing will finally be competitive enough for trump merch to be made in the US.
I’ll bet he’s seething today. Like ketchup on the walls, needing 20+ diaper changes seething. Probably didn’t sleep last night because he was glued to the teevee, clicking through news reports and getting angrier by the minute at the coverage.
Whomever runs interference was likely up all night trying to find favourable articles to print to placate him during his briefing this morning, and it didn’t work. They probably had to dodge a hurled half-empty Diet Coke as they scurried away.
His narcissistic injury must be yuge. I hope it was. (Though we’ll all pay for it soon, this image is worth it.)
(e come to think of it, we’d be better off if he had an actual jester. I totally get the point of them now.)
Love the edit with photo. It’s nice to know we can trust something online, even if it’s only that !MagicShel@lemmy.zip actually delivered the nachos.
