@archi_tradition You won't be disappointed in Bucharest 😉

Bucharest's Old Town looks like a pleasant place to spend an evening.

A beautiful list by @CoffeewClassics

@Architectolder And he was only 23-24 years old. Masterpiece is an understatement

Proserpina detail. If you look closely, you can see tears on her face. This sculpture is made from Carrera marble in 1622 by Bernini. 1622 think of that.

@benshapiro Queueing up to replace him at the DNC.

We forget that just because something is commonplace doesn't mean it didn't take a miracle to make it happen. God is everywhere if you know how to see Him

@creation247 You know it's true because demons, I mean Leftists, go crazy when they hear it

Motherhood or Careers - which way?

@fasc1nate What an elegant and funny woman! Her perfect delivery and comedic timing are amongst the greats of all time

Betty White had the longest television career of any female entertainer, spanning 80 years.

@elonmusk Only bad if you're not an NGO

This sounds bad

@CoffeewClassics The Aeneid. Always seen as an "also ran" but is incredibly underrated

Quick. Tell me. What's *one* work of classic literature that you feel is incredibly underrated? What book just doesn't get enough respect? I want to know.

@Architectolder I'm convinced he just took a couple of people and applied marble on top of them. I'm not sure a human can sculpt that 😂

Proserpina isolation by Bernini. This is made from marble. I was fascinated by it the first time I saw a photograph of it. I think it is perfect. I absolutely ran to it in the Museum. I think there is hardly a day goes by that I don’t look at it. I took around 125 photos of it because I wanted you to see it as I did. It is objectively beautiful that I know. Bernini did it between 1621-22 with hammer, chisel and hand tools. It is important to consider what did Bernini want the observer to think and more importantly, what did he want the observer to “feel”. Many modern artists create a brand. I feel no goodness comes from many of the artists of today. The artists that I support all are trying to give the viewer an emotion. When I look at a piece, I immediately think of what is the strongest emotion that first comes to mind. Is it about the skill of the artist, and the subject matter, or is it about the artist? I never look at Picasso and feel a thrill. I wonder what the fuss is all about. Van Gogh gives me a similar feeling. Caravaggio on the other hand draws my attention to the subject matter at hand. But no artist captivates like Bernini. His sculpture is legendary, and I can only imagine what he might have created but for all of the architectural projects he took on. Fountains, churches, Vatican’s Baldacchin and the Chair of Saint Peter. Bernini’s imprint is on Rome obvious and glorious. This is the true aim of the greatest masters of art. What could they make you feel? Can you forget just for a moment and rise above our daily problems and challenges? For me the answer is yes. I look at this to be amazed, but it also gives a brief uplift of spirit. I encourage you to find artists of today that give you a positive feeling, or a feeling of awe at their skill, and give them a spotlight. Thank you for reading.

@Architectolder Everything under the dome at St Peters is 😍

Saint Peter’s Basilica. Walk with me under the dome.

@jordanbpeterson We could even invest in researching thorium based reactors which is plentiful and has no chance of a nuclear meltdown. Uranium isn't the only nuclear source.

If we were serious about a stable productive generous green future Nuclear micro-reactors We have the technology And it's stable even in the face of EMPs/solar flares youtu.be/Rndu2PYx0Sc?si…

@jordanbpeterson I think he has lied so much his whole life that it comes to him easier than breathing. Add in that his memory has declined significantly and you have a perfect storm No matter what this man should never be president again

One possible explanation for this is confabulation, a cognitive-decline-aligned phenomenon wherein plausible fantasy is substituted for the truth that no longer comes to mind, filling in the gaps. It's not a lie, as it appears as a form of memory, however false. It's somewhat common among late-stage alcoholism although not unique to that condition. I can't say for certain that this is the case but it is an alternative to outright deceit. x.com/collinrugg/sta…

@ZubyMusic It probably correlates very highly with rates of depression in the Unites States.

@archi_tradition Budapest is lovely 🤩

Just beautiful @JamesLucasIT

@jordanbpeterson It's power they're after. They want to use things like "gender affirming" care to control the culture. Behind it is money and power and they don't care who they harm We can't give an inch or they will keep taking more from us

Don't look away. "Gender-affirming" psychologists in particular. This is permanent. How can we possibly condone this? Let alone moralize about it? Days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Appalling. Prison. x.com/libsoftiktok/s…

@ZubyMusic I think this seems well intentioned but I think fellowship with God is not a very large group thing. People aren't communing here as much as they are consuming. I don't know enough to say more than that but I feel like God speaks in quiet a lot more than He does here

Jesus is great. Entertainment is good. Sports are good. Masculinity is good. Brotherhood is good. But this combination feels bizarre. I'm rarely at a loss for words but I don't know how to articulate why this is so weird to me.
