"Retired" professional photographer and "Cultural Eclipsologist" researching how eclipses, especially total solar eclipses, influenced ancient humanity's religious beliefs and iconography. Look for my #Eclipsology hashtag.

Is it just a random chance #coincidence that our Sun & Moon have the same apparent size, or that when our Moon totally eclipses our Sun as a result of this alleged "coincidence" the #TotalSolarEclipse looks like the pupil & iris of an "eye of God"?

Who doesn't remember when the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 had David Lloyd George and Woodrow Wilson announce they weren't personally profiting from ending WW1?

And that one-liner from Stalin at Yalta about communists don't believe in profit and capitalists already have enough money? Priceless!

I remember hearing how Brando thought it lent more credence to his characters if they were always searching for the words to say as he was reciting their lines, so having cue cards nearby with hints was one of his demands. I think he just didn't want to have to memorize his lines.
Here's a photo of the late Robert Duvall wearing cue cards on his body so that co-star Marlon Brando could see his lines during the filming of The Godfather.

I've scrolled past a few videos of conservative voters being asked their opinions on the floor crossings.

I have yet to see one Liberal voter be asked if they're concerned about why their Liberal government is so attractive to Conservatives.

An interesting thing in here: Rev. Woolf says a DHS agent told him "Jesus said to follow the law."

That's a theology that has come up a lot in conservative circles over the last year, but I hadn't heard accounts of it being repeated by rank-and-file agents.
Check out this new short doc about my arrest and the moral emergency we find ourselves in in this country.“There’s absolutely no one coming to save us. There’s no one coming to save these people. There’s no one going to stand up for them except for the people who are here right now, who care.”

To recap in light of breaking news out of the UK:

The French found a way to prosecute former presidents.

The South Koreans did the same.

Our British cousins now literally are prosecuting members of the Royal Family.

But U.S. presidents remain above the law.

Andrew finally being arrested has put another spotlight on the fact that royal correspondents are not fit for purpose. They are NOT journalists. They are paid sycophants who try to convince us to be good little serfs. It is more akin to LARPing than any actual journalism.

Tonight the Waxing Crescent Moon appears close to Saturn and Neptune. Neptune is a bit faint so binoculars required. Also Saturn won't be visible in the evenings for much longer. Conjunction with the Sun soon. All best seen around 7pm looking west. 🔭 🧪

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.
