🎬️ watched New Nightmare (1994)
AKA Wes Craven's New Nightmare AKA Nightmare on Elm Street 7.
Probably the most interesting film in the series? That doesn't mean it's the best, though. There's a lot here that's real good, but unfortunately all the main important stuff for something like this is kinda weak.
Extremely rare case where going full meta works. Probably because it's taken seriously while not thinking that doing this is making it very smart. Just playing it very straight.
The image is a movie poster for "Wes Craven's New Nightmare." The background is predominantly red, creating a sense of foreboding. At the top, the text reads "From the creator of A Nightmare on Elm Street" followed by "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" in large white letters. A menacing figure with a red, wrinkled face and a mechanical glove with sharp, metallic claws is prominently featured. The glove is positioned in the center, with the figure's face partially visible behind it. Below the figure, there is a tagline in red text that says, "This Time Staying Awake Won't Save You." In the lower part of the poster, there is a silhouette of a man and a child standing in front of a window with a warm, orange glow, suggesting a sense of danger. The names of the cast and crew are listed at the bottom, including Robert Englund, Heather Langenkamp, and Wes Craven. The overall design is dark and ominous, with a focus on the horror theme.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a truck labeled "USAID" with a handshake symbol and an American flag motif. A figure labeled "US AID" is emerging from the truck, holding a sack labeled "TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES." The figure is surrounded by a crowd of people reaching out, some holding sacks labeled "TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES" and "TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES." The figure is saying, "AID FROM MY ADMINISTRATION GOES TO THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST." The cartoon is signed "©2025 by Appear in eaglecartoons.com" and is attributed to "Aetter." The overall theme of the cartoon is a critique of the distribution of aid and tax cuts, suggesting that aid is being directed towards the wealthy rather than those in need.

9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed

The post 9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed appeared first on STREET ART UTOPIA."
9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed
From a 50-foot Native American monument overlooking the Missouri River to a surreal hammock strung across a border fence, these sculptures push the boundaries of form, meaning, and public space. Whether constructed from stone, steel, wire, or illusion, each work defies convention — and chances are, you haven’t seen them before. Locations span from Barcelona to Philadelphia, from South Dakota plains to Turkish landscapes.
More: 8 Inspiring Sculptures Seamlessly Integrated with Nature
1. Melancholy — Albert György in Geneva, Switzerland
This bronze sculpture of a seated figure appears hollowed out from within, forming an arched void from chest to head. The minimalist facial features and slumped posture evoke absence and loss, using emptiness as its central element.
2. Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help — Leandro Erlich in Montevideo, Uruguay
A fragment of brick wall with a single window floats mid-air, supported by a ladder that leads nowhere. Placed in an empty lot, this illusion-based sculpture alters space and challenges logic.
3. Border Hammock — Murat Gök in Istanbul, Turkey
Two fence poles curve inward to cradle a man resting in a hammock made from the fence itself. By bending an otherwise rigid border element into a place of rest, the sculpture offers a quiet yet clever political statement.
4. Freedom — Zenos Frudakis in Philadelphia, USA
This bronze wall shows four human forms in various stages of breaking free, culminating in a fully emerged figure stepping into open space. It explores transformation and personal liberation.
5. Giant Slingshot Bench — Cornelia Konrads in Germany
A wooden bench is suspended by two long red straps tied to a massive Y-shaped branch. The setup mimics a slingshot ready to launch, blending utility with playful imagination.
6. Dignity — Dale Lamphere in Chamberlain, South Dakota, USA
Standing 50 feet tall, this stainless steel monument honors Native American women. The figure wears a star quilt composed of blue diamond shapes that shimmer in the wind.
7. The Kiss of Death — Unknown Artist in Barcelona, Spain
This marble sculpture in Poblenou Cemetery shows a skeleton with wings gently kissing the forehead of a lifeless young man. Created in 1930, it’s both romantic and haunting.
8. The Weight of Grief — Celeste Roberge in Portland, Maine, USA
A crouched human form is constructed from a metal frame filled with smooth river stones. The heavy material and posture communicate emotional burden through literal weight.
9. UMI — Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois, USA
This monumental figure is composed of sculpted wood and branches shaped into a female form. Her hands and body are formed by intertwining tree limbs, suggesting organic unity.More: When Street Art Meets Nature (40 Photos)

I have always appreciated and agreed with @bert_hubert a lot on policy and "Cloud" and all this.
This piece from him is totally on point regarding needs, reality of opensource and ways we could go forward.
I, being a pessimist, see no way this vision would happen, I do not think we have the policymakers, organizational knowledge or even ambitions and vision for it in our industry.
But damn do I want to be wrong. And if I am, what he offers is probably our best chance out of this mess.

too late. We already lost it. At this point the question is if we actually are serious about taking it back. So far, I am not seeing it. Partially because people do not want to see the size of the risk (too scary) and partially because people really do not want to accept the size of the work needed.
It needs a change of policy and view.

Truth. We are probably not serious about taking back our digital sovereignty at the moment. You know how it is. Bureaucracies gonna' bureaucrate. I.E.: find the lowest bidder, or someone who takes them out to dinner, or someone who is willing to train their staff on proprietary systems. Or all three. If I see anyone trying to steer the ship toward the right direction I will point them in the direction of Hubert's manifesto.

The image features a religious icon, likely of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, set within a dark wooden frame. The icon is adorned with intricate silver detailing and a richly patterned background. The central figures are depicted in a traditional style, with the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child close to her chest. The icon's surface is highly reflective, suggesting a metallic finish. The text at the top of the image reads, "Once you see Cookie Monster, you can't unsee it." This text is juxtaposed with the icon, creating a humorous contrast between the sacred imagery and the reference to the popular children's character.

Spreadsheets have one good location in a process: at the top.
They can be directly used as database clients, to good effect.
The Macro-laden sheets I passed around mainly had a "refresh" button, so they didn't have to know to right-click on the pivot table report and pick "refresh" from the database.
On rare occasions, they could also be used to put something into a database, as long as it was manually confirmed for every record.
They can have huge roles in NON-automated updates.
