Contrasting Ideas of the Day

Facebook post by George Takei. "Tails" magazine.

Sculpture. "Freedom" by Zenos Frudakis, Philadelphia PA.
Commas are awfully tricky. There are lots of ways to abuse and misuse them, particularly if they create fragments or splices. However, I can only imagine how many eyes overlooked the lack of commas in this graph. Even if the ideas are separated by new lines, saving the space of those two commas greatly misleads readers about Ms. Ray's intentions.... and appetites! Humor abounds.






























Real inspiration comes out of Zenos Frudakis' sculpture in curious leaps and bounds. This is an absolutely beautiful reminder of sadness, inspiration, curiosity, and delight in the battles for freedom. The exquisite detail, from the stoic beginning to the child-like abandon, pulls at the heart in a masterful way that just makes a person stop and appreciate the art and what it says to them.
