Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

On the other hand, the one on the left looks like an attempt at cursive that once in a while reverts to print, the one on the right is all print. Of course they will look different. But if you look carefully, to my untrained eye anyway, certain letters looks similar: s, d, r, etc.
