I painted this a few years ago for fun. I love Maggie Smith as Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey. I love her face and the expressiveness of her eyes. I'm sorry she is gone now. She was brilliant.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was:
* successful at everything he tried
* genuinely intelligent & insightful
* desired by women
* envied by men
* an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with
* a tireless, lifelong philanthropist
... and he died peacefully in his sleep.
10/10 life. No notes.
