02:28 Eros and Elegy

William-Adolphe Bouguereau has two interesting paintings: A Young Girl Defending Herself Against Eros and Elegy. What's interesting is, in the former, it looks like a girl is fighting against love in a very joyful way, she is smiling and having fun in saying no, so does Eros enjoying her slight resistance of love, it's almost like he is saying I know you want love. The latter painting, I would believe, takes place in the same location, years after, the angel looks haggard, exhausted and almost depressed, the girl looks heartbroken and sad, it's like Eros had won his first battle in the former painting, and here we see how it ended. #Art

21:02 Message to Scientology

I was reading Anonymous' message to Scientology right now. I love how literate their messages are, it's sad that you can no longer write like that without people thinking you are GPTing. #LLMs
