Vincent and the Doctor
Went to the Van Gogh Immersion Exhibit in Boston and afterwards I was troubled. Not by the exhibition - it was beautiful - but by the above episode of Dr Who. In the episode the Doctor shows Van Gogh the impact he had in his life. It was OK for the Doctor to show him the future because Van Gogh was about to die.
But Van Gogh committed suicide. Did the Doctor tell him if he killed himself he'd be famous? Because seeing the impact Van Gogh has in the future should have been enough to snap him out of the deepest depression. Now I'm troubled by the episode.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- US Air Force's X-37B Space Plane lands after record 780-day mystery mission. It's like watching the US Space Force being born in real-time.
- Sometimes I have the humor of a 12-year old boy.
- How to get infected with malware. (HT Stephen Landry)
- NYC secretly exports homeless to Hawaii and other states without telling receiving pols. This program is disturbing enough but equally disturbing is the number of "public servants" in the article who won't or can't account for how the public funds are being spent. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
- Very Cool - Van Gogh's Starry Night reproduced using Hubble Telescope images.
- Baghdadi story reveals divided - and broken - news media.

- The day a young Big Papi showed me - and his teammates - how to handle sexual harassment. I bet Ortiz probably doesn't remember this act of kindness. He probably figured that it's just the way men - real men - are supposed to act.
- My guess is that Chuck Yeager is probably more proud of this than even of breaking the sound barrier. Read the book Yeager to fully understand the circumstances behind this great achievement.
- Heh heh
- My idea of great art
- Oral Sex in the Bible
