I just listened to, in these deeply troubled times, a recitation of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, assessing the cost of a brutal Civil War that was not yet finished. I felt tears welling up, hoping not to revisit such insanity.

Someone followed me today. So, I followed back. Then they said they wanted to purchase NFT's of my work, a clear tell of a scam artist. So, I blocked them.

The (Epstein Files) US President signed an executive order (Epstein Files) stating (Epstein Files) a mandatory one-year prison term (Epstein Files) for burning an American flag (Epstein Files). We're not distracted.

Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.

We all knew the betrayal was where this was heading. He casually offers his BBF another country's land, and to be clear more land than is occupied by the invader, stained in Ukrainian blood to the invader in an unprovoked war. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Looks like TACO Trump had a nice play date with his BFF and nothing else...as expected.

Donald (Epstein Files) J (Epstein Files) Trump (Epstein Files) is (Epstein Files) putting (Epstein Files) Washington, DC (Epstein Files) under (Epstein Files) direct (Epstein Files) control (Epstein Files) to (Epstein Files) distract (Epstein Files) from (Epstein Files) the Epstein Files.

"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."

Old saying, "When you're not at the table, you're on the menu". TACO Trump sets deadline for Russia. Russia yawns and intensifies bombing Ukraine. Trump folds - begins negotiating away Ukrainian territory on Russian terms (again), without Ukraine at the table at all. www.bbc.com/news/live/cv...

One interesting difference between broadcast media in Japan versus the US is that, while the US celebrates the rich, famous & powerful, Japan celebrates ordinary people - rice farmers, ramen shop owners and high school baseball players.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

The times in which we live: I was using VPN, which last time I checked was legal, and went to Photoshelter to check out if a photo of mine was online. I was denied simply viewing my photo until I turned off VPN. My guess is that is a response to AI scraping sites...
