I'm no expert but I wonder if the Greeks had similar ideas of the afterlife?

Apologies for the extra links / odd image problems. The image file Wikipedia has for this painting is 174 MB! I had to download that, shrink it. post it to my Pixtagram account to make it properly viewable.

Landscape with Charon Crossing the Styx is an oil on wood painting by the Flemish Northern Renaissance artist Joachim Patinir. Dating to c. 1515–1524, it is now in the Museo del Prado, in Madrid.

Landscape with Charon Crossing Styx fits into common Northern Renaissance and early Mannerist trends of art. The 16th century witnessed a new era for painting in Germany and the Netherlands that combined influences from local traditions and foreign influences. Many artists, including Patinir, traveled to Italy to study and these travels provided new ideas, particularly concerning representations of the natural world. Patinir's religious subjects, therefore, incorporate precise observation and naturalism with fantastic landscapes inspired by the northern traditions of Bosch.

Today is Bandcamp Friday (daily.bandcamp.com)

Hey y'all... I know some folks have issues with the new owner of Bandcamp, but I still like to support bands via their platform.

If you have some money and a favorite band on there, go support them, eh.

Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love.

Might I suggest Teens In Trouble?

That one is my aspiration too. Is retirement as great as it seems?

Untitled - Hans Hofmann (pixtagram.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)

Hans Hofmann (March 21, 1880 – February 17, 1966) was a German-born American painter, renowned as both an artist and teacher. His career spanned two generations and two continents, and is considered to have both preceded and influenced Abstract Expressionism.

Born and educated near Munich, he was active in the early twentieth-century European avant-garde and brought a deep understanding and synthesis of Symbolism, Neo-impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism when he emigrated to the United States in 1932. His works are in the permanent collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, National Gallery of Art, and Art Institute of Chicago.

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956) was an American painter. A major figure in the abstract expressionist movement, Pollock was widely noticed for his "drip technique" of pouring or splashing liquid household paint onto a horizontal surface, enabling him to view and paint his canvases from all angles. It was called all-over painting and action painting, since he covered the entire canvas and used the force of his whole body to paint, often in a frenetic dancing style. This extreme form of abstraction divided critics: some praised the immediacy of the creation, while others derided the random effects.

Morgan Russell (January 25, 1886 – May 29, 1953) was a modern American artist. With Stanton Macdonald-Wright, he was the founder of Synchromism, a provocative style of abstract painting that dates from 1912 to the 1920s. Russell's "synchromies," which analogized color to music, were an early American contribution to the rise of Modernism.

First paragraphs:

A race that no one is talking about is threatening to upend Republicans’ high hopes to control the U.S. Senate after November’s election. Incumbent Deb Fischer, one of the 10 most unpopular senators in the country, according to Morning Consult’s July survey, is facing a stiff and unexpected challenge from an independent steamfitter named Dan Osborn, who is backed by the United Auto Workers and keeping his distance from the state’s beleaguered Democrats. While Osborn remains a long shot, he is likely to force Republicans to pour some money and resources into a race that they should have been able to win effortlessly as they try to capitalize on 2024’s GOP-friendly Senate map. And if Osborn wins, or even puts a credible scare into Fischer, his campaign could serve as a template for how to dislodge Republicans from statewide monopolies in places where Democrats have long struggled to compete.

Nice memory. I never subscribed to any of these -- I just remember picking up the random Tower Records "Pulse" magazine they gave away in store in this era. And a few zines, of course.

Seeing that issue of Puncture though, with Kristin H on the cover... makes me think I might have that here somewhere. Then again, there's a ton of covers like that though on the Kristin Hersh Archives on tumblr. I might have seen it there, haha.
