Episode 378: The Feeling of Power

A young artist brings in a canvas with the F word repeated dozens of times in stenciled red letters on a black background. Will you put this up in your gallery? he asks. Terrastina studies the painting. Are you kidding me? she says. The artist looks offended. What do you mean? he says. There are some words, says Terrastina, which need to be reserved for times that really demand them. I couldn’t agree with you more, says the artist. I think this is one of those times. Terrastina looks at the picture again. Nope, she says, you’re way wrong.
