Side note, I just had a realization. My old man would wake up, and drink his coffee while reading the newspaper. For the past few months, I whip out my tablet, get my coffee and wake up to reading Substack.
Substack is the modern day newspaper. Peak progress. A newspaper where you get to choose what articles by which authors you want to read. Imagine telling your parents back in the day, “in the future, newspapers will only be articles written by authors you like.”
I typically avoid stuff that counts on imagery and appeals to emotion because I don't want my emotion to override my objectivity but this was worth making the exception.
"It’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times" - There is a brilliant artist near where I live who had an artwork painted over 2 days after it's debut in May of 2021 because it had the phrase "Let Us Breathe" written on the mask.
It was everything great art should be. Beautiful, timely, thought provoking. The artist was Elena Bushan. Here is a link to the art the "authorities" painted over.
