Typically the art world was shocked and his murals were the subject of scathing critiques because of Klimt’s use of erotic symbolism.

Klimt's work is distinguished by the elegant gold or colored decoration, often of a phallic shape,

🔮Endgame🔮

📌Rosenstein expected to depart DOJ in coming weeks but plans to stay until Mueller submits a report & SC finishes his work.

📌Beware of the Ides of March.

📌Manafort intended for polling data to go to 2 Ukrainian oligarchs Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov
🔮Endgame2🔮.

The possibility Manafort wound up at the heart of the Trump campaign not despite his deep Kremlin connections, rather because of them, is an urgent matter & may hold the key to the entire mystery about the president’s secret relationship with Russia.
🔮Endgame3🔮

📌Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov had paid Manafort for years for his political work in UKR

📌Manafort’s passing of polling data to Kilimnik is highly disturbing, given SCO’s accusations re GRU’s role in weaponizing cyber-espionage against our 2016 election.

Super! Now I can cross "State Hall of the Austrian National Library" from my bucket list.

Will spend New Year in #Vienna so I visited today this amazing library, one of the most beautiful in the world. Loved it. 😍👇

@akhbar
The details in the Austrian National Library are just amazing.

Look at that ceiling. Incredible details.

@akhbar
Although I am one big lover of Art Nouveau, I very much enjoyed this baroque jewel which was built between 1723 and 1726.

Holiday takeaway - if you talk about Russian Active Measures with your family during the holidays, they think you are even more nuts than usual. Really, I’m not that crazy. A thread. 1
I spent a whole lifetime - before the age of Trump - without once thinking about Russia (or any foreign nation) conducting information warfare against me and other citizens. If I worried about Big Government using Big Data against me, I mostly worried about my own government. 2
As late as Sept 2016, when @washingtonpost issued this, I was only vaguely aware that RU might be impacting US politics. I was aware US Politics were FUBAR, but I did not make the jump to RU interference. washingtonpost.com/world/national… 4

Nov. 11 1918: The last Austro-Hungarian Emperor Charles I signs a proclamation in which he "relinquish(ed) every participation in the administration of the State" marking the end of the 600-year rule of the Habsburgs over #Austria. #TodayInHistory #ArmisticeDay100 #Armistice100
On 13 November, Charles IV issued a similar (Eckartsau) proclamation for #Hungary. In neither declaration did the emperor use the word 'abdication'. Indeed, he tried to reclaim the Hungarian throne twice in 1921. "I did not abdicate, and never will," he wrote to a confidant.
Altogether the losses of Austria-Hungary during #WW1 can be estimated at around 2 million (excluding direct civilian war deaths). #ArmisticeDay100 #ArmisticeDay

Okay...I'm losing focus on my writing and I need a break...so let me tell you the story of a real badass lady from the 17th century who not only famously prosecuted a rapist but later EARNED A LIVING BY PAINTING PICTURES OF WOMEN KILLING BAD MEN (and other sundry subjects).
Artemisia Gentileschi was born in Rome around 1593-ish. Her dad was a famous painter who studied under the even more famous Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio who painted amazing shit like this:

(This is Judith cutting the head off of the antisemitic asshole Holofernes)
Because the life of an artist was awesome one day and shitty the next, Artemisia's dad took in a boarder named Tuzia, who was a downright bitch. She helped one of her dad's students, Agostino Tassi, sneak in and rape Artemisia. On purpose.

What threw me over the edge today was the disgusting speech by Trump tonight. @SenWarren spent her Fourth of July with our troops in Kuwait. This 👶 continues to slander her, disrespect 👩‍💼. He has never visited our 👩‍✈️. His goal? To dismantle democracy. to bully & make
fun of and humiliate as many people as he possibly can. Make as much money as he possibly can. Make himself feel like a man as often as he can. While 3,000 👧🧑👶 are separated from their families perhaps never to see them again. What this man is doing is disgusting needs to be
stopped and needs to be punished. It keeps getting harder to get through every day but I do and I will I have a child👧 I have to fight this fight for her and for her 🤸 & the future of us all. We all do.Special shout out to the many people here who lift me up everyday💋
