Not even a chair frame, but likely a wire frame, probably covered in foil and then crystals. That’s a common method for art pieces. This wasn’t a chair covered in crystals, but a ‘delicate internal structure’ in a chair shape.
e: that’s probably also why it was fairly easy to fix: re-bend the wire, then replace any crystals that fell of. This idiot is lucky he didn’t get a stabilising rod up his proverbial.
The future will absolutely need cultural anthropologists and sociologists to re-form society. Just… uh… ride out the collapse and you’ll be golden. 👍
Your comment made it sound like the artist had defaced an historical object.
I’m no art critic, but I would interpret the work as a statement on a mundane, usually overlooked object becoming something dazzling and valuable (eta: as literally happened to Van Gogh, and you could go further and say he was sat on and used during life, etc; I can think of much more, but it doesn’t sound like you’ll care), but that’s just me.
Trump must have a death grip on this guy, considering he’s such a yuge pussy.
It isn’t actually Van Gogh’s chair, that’s just the name of the piece. It’s described as having a delicate inner structure covered in crystals (probably a wire frame). It’s not a real chair, which is why it collapsed instantly – it wasn’t created to hold any weight.
My loaf is stale. Is there something I can do, or shall I bin it?
Step 1: commit a crime.
Step 2: graduate university in prison.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit.
That’s true, but trump is transactional. He and Giuliani were selling them for 2 million a pop. How many military regulars can afford one? Why should trump care to pardon them if they can’t give him something?
If I was rank-and-file, I wouldn’t take that bet.
Hilariously, many of these companies already fired staff because their execs and upper management drank the Flavor-Aid. Now they need to spend even more rehiring in local markets where word has got round.
I’m so sad for them. Look, I’m crying 😂
Ha. Asking a fascist to resign for fascist action in a fascist government. I mean, worth a try, right?
Wish in one hand…
He does, but anyone following illegal orders doesn’t. Sure, he could pardon them, but only after a long, expensive, and potentially life-changing legal battle after which they’re convicted.
That doesn’t sound like a fight most regular troops should want to gamble on.
Oh little buddy, it’s too late now. You’ve made your bed with Nazis, and it’s full of piss and shit, but now you have to lie in it.
If you’re not rich or powerful enough to float to the top – and you’re not – you’re going to have to deal with the Nazi filth. Too bad absolutely nobody warned you. Oh well.
Like in Pennsylvania, perhaps, where he all but admitted to fucking with the voting machines.
They fully believed nobody would call them on it, partly because of the path they’d laid with the media. And they were right.
And even:
Yes, Trump said Musk knows vote-counting computers ‘better than anybody’
He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.

The idiot can’t keep his mouth shut and basically blabbed exactly what they were doing, yet nobody really listened.
It will never cease to astound me.
Hey man, they’re your rats, not mine.
Either start charging them rent or give me a discount for their upkeep. My rental agreement didn’t include a whole colony of roommates.
surprise wild rats
Found my new band name.
Punching Nazis is always self defence, since being a Nazi in public is an act of violence.
These lunatics will kill us all for their rapture fantasies.
Can we start calling their theology mental illness yet? They clearly need help.
