I love art and all things Japanese and people who are nice and kind.

Not headline news in the US for some reason. Does that mean this behaviour is accepted.
UK PM Keir Starmer reacts to Cadet Bone Spurs claiming that allied troops stayed back behind the front lines in Afghanistan to avoid combat: “457 of our armed services lost their lives, many more were injured. So I consider Trump’s remarks to be insulting and apalling.”

No one should be above the law. Once upon a time that seemed obvious.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith:
"I stand by my decisions as special counsel, including the decision to bring charges against President Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in criminal activity... No one should be above the law".

This is a line that got me from Canadian PM Mark Carney's amazing speech at Davos: "Canada is a pluralistic society that works. Our public square is loud, diverse and free. Canadians remain committed to sustainability." It is the absolute opposite of Trump and Putin.

Just burying my head in the snow and staying away from the news for as long as possible. Not sure what created the grass like effect. Looks like hoar frost on top of the snow perhaps?

Golden retrievers should run the world. They really do try to make everyone happy which right now would be a huge improvement.
Most of the very best people I've ever met are golden retrievers.

Canadian PM Mark Carney delivered a pretty incredible speech in Davos. It's a vision for a way forward for smaller nations, in a world where the U.S. can no longer be counted on as an ally.
Watch it. Something tells me it might be one of those speeches that we'll read about in history books.

Also, Denmark is a different country than Norway, but that’s probably too much of a nuance for Trump.

Everybody knows Franz Kafka, but almost no one knows his sister Ottla. She was gassed on arrival at Auschwitz on Oct 7, 1943 after volunteering to escort a group of orphans from the Terezin ghetto so they wouldn’t be afraid.

I thought this was a parody.
It isn't.
Cray-cray is blaming his own future dangerous behavior on not winning the Nobel,
and on the prime minister of Norway, because he is from the same country as the Nobel committee.

Apparently Leonardo da Vinci knew that the woodpeckers tongue wrapped around its brain and provided a cushion for the hammering. I think he drew a picture of it….
