Weird how he got the proportions of the human head so right, and yet those of the cat so wrong. I’ve noticed that in a lot of painters from that period; also with regard to babies (Mary with child etc). Even the greats, Michelangelo, da Vinci.. would get kids & animals more wrong than adult humans.

currently entering my whatever-this-is era

Little felt mouse wearing some type of cloth medieval bonnet with berries embroidered on it, holding a bundle of red berries in one hand and a small metallic object in the other - could be a flute or a shiv, depending on your point of view. Text says "I am plagued by concepts"

I wouldn’t be too surprised if 25th-century historians would use ability-to-build-efficient-highspeed-rail-networks as a key benchmark for civilisational progress in the late 20th/21st centuries.

“Affects” is typical statistician speak dodging the causality issue. While news source affects views, views will also affect choice of media. The chicken-and-egg question is not addressed. Views will also be affected by other factors.
