After posting about this iconic painting a few months ago it was great to see it for real in the “Met” Museum in New York. Painted by William Mount in 1840. Cider Making is a scene from Setauket on Long Island where he was born and lived. William Sidney Mount is most famous for his New England snow scenes. Apt as we had walked to the Met through a cold sunny snowy Central Park. Wonderful #painting #cider #cidermaking #TheMet #MetropolianMuseum

“Now, at the MetPublications digital archive, we can read a great variety of the books, guides, and periodicals it’s put out for more than a century–from a 1911 catalog of the museum’s collection of pottery, porcelain, and faïence (which refers to pottery of the tin-glazed variety) to — as of this writing — the latest issue of the Met’s Bulletin, on Mexican printmakers including Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. They and the more than 1,600 publications that lie between them are free for you to explore, some readable online, and some downloadable in PDF form.”

My London · Met Police chief hits out at middle-class drug users putting kids 'in coffins''If you are middle-class and sticking drugs up your nose - getting those drugs to your door is exploitation'

This is sound like another Whiteness stitch up.
What happened in the taxi beforehand IS relevant as things don't happen out of no where and this attack line of "what if the police officer were Black" is just a weird way of saying "racism is just about hurt feelings" when it's about history and context too.
Something the Prosecution wants the Jury to ignore.
