  2. Ah yes, Jacob, the self-proclaimed Renaissance man, bravely reminding us all that our identities are more than the sum of our cubicle-dwelling, keystroke-punching existences. 🖥️ Nothing screams "I'm more than my job!" quite like whining about it on a tech blog while still clinging to the title of software engineer. 🙄 #DeepThoughts #ExistentialCrisis

    I watch a lot of movies but never heard of the #RenaissanceMan before.

    It flopped at the theaters & reviews were mixed (Siskel liked it & Ebert didn't) but I may still take a look at it, if I can find it streaming for free somewhere, even though, I'm not a fan of #Shakespeare; the dislike of which by many others may have had something to do with the generally negative reviews of the film in the past.

  4. I've often wondered if the Dr. Who folks got the idea for the Sontarans (left) from the Hierarchy (right). #AllStarTrek #VOY #StarTrekVOY #RenaissanceMan @startrek

  5. What confessionals happen in Holodeck 2 doesn't always stay in Holodeck 2.

  6. Ensign Kim: "The transmission was encoded with a false subspace signature..."

    Seven: "The signature didn't originate from another vessel. It came from inside Voyager."

    Fill in your "The call was coming from inside the house" square on your TV tropes bingo card!

  7. "Gothic Windows in the Ruins of the Monastery at Oybin," Carl Gustav Carus, c. 1828.

    German-born Carus (1789-1869) wasn't just an artist...he was also a doctor, naturalist, scientist, and psychologist, and he studied landscape painting under the great Romantic Caspar David Friedrich, whose influence can be seen here.

    He was personal physician to King Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, and traveled with him to meet Queen Victoria. As a naturalist, he originated the notion of vertebrates vs. invertebrates, gently revolutionizing biology. He was also a prolific author, writing books on zoology, nature, medicine, psychology, travel, and art theory.

    Here we have a scene from inside a ruined monastery, built in 1369 and abandoned in 1546, and which became a favorite haunt of the Romantics in the 1820s. Despite the Gothic material, the feeling it gives is almost positive and hopeful, looking through the ruins to a new day.

    From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

  8. When I was explaining #JeffreyEpstein scandal,
    I told you that building a public image of a #billionaire costs lots of money
    #Epstein presented himself with pic of #Harvard despite not having completed any degree at the College and cultivated an image of a #RenaissanceMan, philanthropist and patron of #science. All false because the only thing #Epstein was interested in was underage girls' #pussies -his own words- he captured for himself and his friends.
