  1. @thomasbeagle I'd really expect better from your beagles. I'm glad someone has spoken up. The rest of us were either too polite or scared to mention it.

  2. "Madame X," John Singer Sargent, 1884.

    Y'all know Sargent by now.

    It's funny that this picture, now sometimes called "the American Mona Lisa," almost ended Sargent's career. He pursued Paris socialite Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, wanting to paint her, and it took almost a year to complete. Originally it featured a shoulder strap sliding off her shoulder, which, when combined with the lack of jewelry and gloves, and the gown's plunging neckline, was seen as too sexual and salacious; some thought it hinted at an affair between artist and subject. Not likely, Sargent was a very active gay man.

    The New Orleans-born Gautreau was one of the great beauties of Parisian society, and was pursued by several portraitists. Although it's often said her reputation was ruined by this painting; it really wasn't as most of the backlash was directed at Sargent. She did become more choosy about which functions she would attend, and she had several more portraits done, one almost identical to this but was greeted only with praise.

    Now it's regarded as one of the great classic works of American art!

    Happy Portrait Monday!

  5. 🎩 Behold, an article that bravely tackles the #scandalous possibility of Pi's #nonexistence, because apparently we needed a 700-word essay to tell us that 3.14 isn't just any number—it's 1.57 twice 🥳. It's a riveting tale that might just keep you on the edge of your seat, assuming you're a sentient calculator 🤓.

  6. Woot! ProPublica earns a #Pulitzer for their reporting on #Secretive, #Sleazy , #Scandalous activities by various #SupremeCourt justices who accept lucrative gifts from über-wealthy oligarchs. Sure smells bad….

  7. After a night of drinking, Tam o'Shanter was unlucky enough to chance upon a coven of witches dancing down by the churchyard. The witch chasing him is Nannie, and she's dressed in naught but a 'cutty sark!' #scandalous! Tam escaped only after his horse's tail came off in Nannie's hands, freeing Tam to drink again.

    Thanks to Robert Burns for the poem.
