TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

This doesn't end with Trump, it doesn't end with his removal from power or his death. He's reorganized half of the political nation in a fascist-authoritarian mode, disinhibiting the worst among us to resume the most disgusting & evil traditions of belief & action in our country's history.

Did not expect a note about Saddam Hussein to show up in the Wikipedia entry about the famous fantasy artist Rowena, but it's hilarious:
![Text reads: "Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, art which appeared to be Morrill's original paintings King Dragon and Shadows Out of Hell were discovered hanging in one of his houses.[10][11] According to Morrill, they were copies, as she had sold the originals to a Japanese collector.[12]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fwhewdkhdzgln4zzjuchuo4c/bafkreierxaow4kmn2mhrvsb2g4kb5omnbmgg4ec7vue3vrr3zphnwgdswa@jpeg)

In Buddy Holly’s hometown in Lubbock, TX near the Buddy Holly Center, there is a crosswalk that was designed to pay tribute to the late musician. Sadly it has to removed because of Trump’s directive geared to remove “Black Lives Matter” and rainbows from the roads. www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/b...

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

Taking my wife up, carried her to Charing Cross, and there showed her the Italian motion, much after the nature of what I showed her a while since in Covent Garden. Their puppets here are somewhat better, but their motions not at all.
