Weekend mass shootings leave 6 people dead, dozens injured across the U.S.

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:11:23 GMT

Mass shootings and violence across the U.S. killed at least six people this weekend, including a Pennsylvania state trooper, and wounded dozens of people. Multiple people with guns fired shots at a holiday crowd in Illinois and bullets flew among teenagers partying in Missouri. The shootings follow a surge in homicides and other violence over the past several years that experts say accelerated during the coronavirus pandemic. They happened in suburban Chicago, Washington state, central Pennsylvania, St. Louis, Southern California and Baltimore.“There’s no question there’s been a spike in violence,” said Daniel Nagin, a professor of public policy and statistics at Carnegie Mellon University. “Some of these cases seem to be just disputes, often among adolescents, and those disputes are played out with firearms, not with fists.”Researchers disagree over the cause of the increase. Theories include the possibility that violence is driven by the prevalence of guns in America, or by less a...

Meet Transcendent Expressionism Painter Robert Standish

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:11:23 GMT

Painter Robert Standish practices a transcendent expressionism in which abstractions become occasions for, and locations of, sensations of awe, wonder, and emotional depth. Guided by organic principles of rhythm, motion, sublimated patterns, saturated color, and rich texture, Standish’s gestures in think paint channel, replicate, honor, and expand on the hidden forces that organize the universe. Eschewing a prior photorealist voice in favor of a different way of connecting with life’s events and experiences, Standish plugs directly into the source now rather than recording its effects. Although his vivid style and intuitive process sometimes alight upon moments that evoke the outside world, it’s Standish’s concern to access a meta-language of pure gesture and color that enriches the interior landscape.Robert Standish, Time and Perspective, Acrylic on canvas, 2022, 30 x 40 inchesL.A.

Top 10 must-sees along Route 66, from Santa Monica to Amarillo, Texas

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:11:23 GMT

A road trip along Route 66 is an American culture touchstone. The highway that first connected Chicago and Los Angeles in the 1920s became larger than life thanks to the writing of John Steinbeck, the music of Nat King Cole and a certain snippet of lyrics by The Eagles. (You’ll have “standing on the corner in Winslow, Arizona” stuck in your head now!)Now, on the eve of the highway’s centennial, Country Living magazine took a look at the top 50 sights on this famous stretch of road. Their list ranges from natural wonders — hello, Grand Canyon — to kitschy glories, like a turquoise and hot pink diner in Kingman, Arizona. There are buildings topped with giant objects — a humongous milk bottle in Oklahoma City, for example. And objects that are art, like the installation commissioned by a Texas tycoon involving 10 graffiti-covered vintage Cadillacs.Here’s a sampling from the big list.
