Marlene Dumas

Found this picture through this post on chmkoome's Blog. It's a painting by Marlene Dumas, currently on show in the Frith Street Gallery, depicting Ulrike Meinhof after she was found and cut down from the towel noose with which she either killed herself or was murdered (perhaps having been previously raped), in her Stammheim prison cell on May 9, 1976.

And i'm wondering why it saddens me so much.

img: Kim Jong IlFound on Ctulhu's blogroll: Instant Message conversations between Kim Jong-Il and other famous world leaders. Of course Mr. Kim is the greatest of them all, but lately he seems a bit misinformed, probably due to the fact that the sound is out on his tv (the only colour set in the DRNK).

A sample conversation (Yeah, I know it's a .jpg, that's how it is published, you wouldn't expect a world leader to give a rat's ass about the reading impaired, would you? Anyway, click for better readable):
