Y’all know what happened to RFK junior’s brainworm?

It starved to death.

Sorry, needed the comic relief. And also, RFK is both very evil, and very, very stupid.

You Might Walk Past These—But They’re Tiny Masterpieces in Disguise


Which one is your favorite?

Header image showing two street art pieces by Golsa Golchini in Milan. On the left, a girl is painted emerging from a cracked wall, holding a bow and miming the act of playing a Double Bass formed by peeling plaster. On the right, a woman leans from a real window, hanging laundry made from the cracked and flaking paint on the wall below, blending the artwork seamlessly with the surface decay.

In Milan, Golsa Golchini is reshaping how we see the cracks, rust, and decay of city walls. Her miniature street art scenes don’t cover damage—they embrace it.


A girl swings from rain streaks. A turtle borrows a tank as its shell. A young musician draws music from crumbling plaster. Each piece is site-specific, small in scale but rich in detail, and carefully crafted to interact with its exact surroundings. In this collection, we feature ten of Golchini’s latest public artworks across Milan—where the city’s imperfections become the very foundation of her storytelling.

Laundry Day


A woman leans from a real window, painted to appear as if she’s reading the fractured wall like a book. The peeling plaster becomes a cascading page.

The illusion transforms the broken surface into a poetic urban instrument.

The Hidden Melody


Golsa Golchini cleverly integrates minimalist art, depicting a young girl realistically painted emerging from peeling plaster. The girl is holding a bow as if playing Double Bass on the crumbling wall itself, transforming urban decay into a subtle and poetic performance.


Street Art of a boy holding a flashlight, with a real shaft of sunlight falling in line with the beam, creating an interactive lighting effect.

Flashlight Beam


A boy holds a large flashlight aimed upward. The beam isn’t painted—it’s a real streak of sunlight on the wall, timed perfectly with the art.

The scene creates a tender interaction using only minimal painted elements and surface damage.Street art in Milan by Golsa Golchini showing a young girl in a striped dress reaching out to pet an elephant, with the animal’s shape created from peeling paint and rough wall textures. The scene creates a tender interaction using only minimal painted elements and surface damage.

Elephant Friend


A little girl in a striped dress reaches out to gently touch the head of an elephant, its form emerging naturally from the cracked wall. Golsa Golchini uses the contours of the damaged surface to suggest the animal’s shape, turning urban decay into an unexpected moment of connection between child and creature.


Painted turtle head and legs emerging from behind a red-and-white plastic tank, which looks like the turtle’s shell from the street.

Turtle Shell


A green turtle peeks out from behind a public plastic container. The container’s shape mimics its shell in a surreal visual twist.


Street art of a boy walking a dog, with the dog’s form created using a rusted hole in a metal surface, appearing as part of the leash scene.

Boy with Dog


A child walks a dog on a leash. The dog is made from a rust stain and a hole in the wall, blending seamlessly with the texture.


Mural of a snail placed next to a pile of real street debris, positioned at the curb as if it’s moving across the city landscape.

Snail at the Curb


A snail painted near the sidewalk seems to crawl slowly through a pile of real dried leaves. The edge of the street becomes part of its journey.


Girl on a swing, with water stains on the wall acting as swing ropes, blending natural marks with painted figure.

Rain Swing


A girl swings from two long streaks of water damage on a concrete wall. The stains form ropes, and her painted legs kick out into open space.


Street art in Milan by Golsa Golchini featuring a Pikachu-inspired face painted onto a cracked wall. The design uses large anime-style eyes and an open pink mouth, with peeling plaster integrated into the expression.

Cracked Pikachu


A joyful cartoon face bursts through a chipped section of wall, clearly inspired by Pikachu from Pokémon. The playful eyes and wide pink mouth are painted around the cracks, making it feel like the character is peeking through the surface itself.


Giraffe head painted inside a break in ivy-covered wall, appearing as if it’s emerging through the leaves and looking out.Giraffe head painted inside a break in ivy-covered wall, appearing as if it’s emerging through the leaves and looking out.

Giraffe Peek


A giraffe peeks through an opening in dense ivy, as if hiding behind the greenery. The painted surface perfectly matches the hole.


Golsa Golchini’s art doesn’t just live on the walls of Milan—it lives with them. Every crack becomes a canvas, every rust patch a character. These ten interventions remind us that beauty can emerge from erosion, and that even a broken surface can tell a complete story. In Golchini’s hands, the city itself collaborates—every wall is part of the work.

More birds!: 8 Beautiful Artworks That Seem to Grow From Nature

Daniel Mac Lloyd’s mural in Heerlen, Netherlands


Two vibrant blue parrots embrace in a strikingly intimate pose, filling the entire side of a house. Painted with rich blues and bursts of orange, the feathers look almost fluid—blending realism with a painterly splash technique that gives motion and emotion to the birds.

A-MO’s mural in Bordeaux, France


A kingfisher, perched on the corner of a building, bursts with color and texture. The dynamic brushwork mimics feathers in motion, and the location cleverly integrates the mural into urban flow.


WD (Wild Drawing)’s mural in Athens, Greece


An owl stares intensely from a historic building corner, its massive eyes framed by golden ornamental swirls. The illusion of depth and the realistic textures make it feel alive within the wall.


Mural of a grey crowned crane with a glowing crown of feathers and blue plumage, painted against a dark backdrop on a wall in Mol, Belgium.

TUZQ’s mural in Mol, Belgium


A grey crowned crane stands regally with deep blue feathers and a shimmering gold crest. The dark background contrasts sharply with the vivid bird, adding theatrical lighting to this photorealistic piece.


Mural of a giant pigeon’s head and chest painted across the roof and wall of a house in Stavelot, Belgium, using tiles to mimic feather textures.

Adele Renault’s mural in Stavelot, Belgium


A pigeon’s head dominates a multi-surfaced house, with textured roof tiles doubling as feathers. The gradient iridescence and scale of the piece give it a surreal monumentality.


L7m’s mural


A small bird bursts into motion with chaotic lines and neon shades of pink, orange, and black. L7m blends abstract graffiti with realism, creating a sense of explosive speed and urban energy.


Mural of a blue peacock with an extended, realistic tail blending into the surrounding garden and brick wall in Vinkeveense Plassen, Netherlands.

Jan Is De Man’s mural in Vinkeveense Plassen, Netherlands

The parrot’s red, blue, and yellow feathers are rendered with stunning precision, creating the illusion that the bird is emerging from the wall. A person sits on the ground in front of the mural, enhancing the lifelike scale and depth of the artwork. Painted in 2021 under a sheltered area with a yellow accent wall, this optical illusion blends art with architecture and nature.

"Trash Fascism, Not Books"
Seen in Baltimore, USA
in reply to Radical Graffiti

The image shows a sticker on a gray metal surface, likely a trash can. The sticker is circular with a black border and white background. Inside the circle, there is a cartoon illustration of an opossum holding a red book with its paws. The opossum is depicted in a relaxed pose, with its tail curled around its body. The text on the sticker reads "TRASH FASCISM • NOT BOOKS" in bold, white capital letters, with the words "TRASH" and "BOOKS" on the top and bottom, respectively, and "FASCISM" in the middle. The sticker's design suggests a message promoting the value of books over the suppression of ideas, as indicated by the phrase "TRASH FASCISM."

Nick Johnson warned yesterday that hackers send people email messages that pretend to be from Google. The email claims there is a subpoena for information in your Google account, and click the link to submit a protest at sites.google.com.

in reply to Josh

The image depicts a highway scene shrouded in a thick layer of dust or fog, creating a hazy atmosphere. The road is a two-lane highway with a yellow dividing line in the center and white lines marking the edges. Several vehicles are visible, including a black sedan in the left lane and a silver SUV in the right lane, both moving towards the camera. In the distance, more vehicles can be seen, indicating traffic flow. The surrounding landscape is dry and barren, with sparse vegetation and a fence running parallel to the road on the left side. The sky is overcast, contributing to the poor visibility. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray and brown, reflecting the dusty conditions.

"[N]ot only do the structurally empowered eighty-to-ninety-percent-men of technical organizations...get to choose emotions over efficacy, they get to do so while also maintaining the notion that they never have emotions in the first place."

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the phrase "vibe coding" is so effective at shaming people who let LLMs write their code.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, that "doing things by feelings" is shameful in my field.

Replace "smartness" with "humanity" and you get the recipe for making big money in big tech. This is the reason FAANG treats you as a user, not a person.
