      Our ability to make art is unique to our species (except, you might be able to argue, the bower bird). It should be cherished and flourished.

      And of course we also need food to survive, but art is part of what makes us human.

        I dunno, AI does a pretty good job at making art, and it never gets hungry. /s

    I like how the embedded tweet in the article is all, “OMG! They want to destroy our culture and the gallery is letting them do it!” Nice return to tradition posting, freaks.

    What’s easier tackling people who might soup a sheet of plexiglass? (Assuming you know for sure that’s what they’re going to do and you don’t accidentally tackle tourists from Idaho.) OR cleaning up after they do their spiel for a bit?

    Eh whatever, I mean it’s the Mona Lisa, it sucks anyway. 🤷‍♂️
