Was wir in den deutschen Nachrichten eher nicht mitbekommen:
DOGE hat jetzt behauptet, einem riesigen Sozialbetrug auf die Spur gekommen zu sein. Es seien Zahlungen an -zig Millionen von Überhundertjährigen gegangen. Des Rätsels Lösung ist eine Besonderheit der Programmiersprache COBOL, die ein eigenes Datierungssystem mit einer Startzeit vor 150 Jahren verwendet. Das scheint mit den echten Altersangaben der Versicherten verwechselt worden zu sein.

"The Night Escapes its Golden Cage", about 12x17", water color, 2012.
"The Night Escapes its Golden Cage", a column of ochre and gold and bits of green, pink, and purple, has a horizontol split that shows the blue inside of the rock. A very dark, stormy sky with flag-like red and yellow flashes and dark hills form the background.

"After the Storm" rocks of different size and color towering over one another, seemingly unstable. Turquoise blue background, a large wall or column in a marbled yellow closes the left side of the painting.

(cont2)... Manga style has been an organic development out of Japanese tradition. It is based on sketches by Hieroshige, e.g. Observation and developing sth out of it is -- imho -- the best way. Though, as mentioned, your work is among the better stuff. (Have been inventing Queeroes since 1974)

1956 had a very cold winter, in January, it was —12°C even at daytime. I checked the progress of icing on the city lake of Hamburg. That is science!

Hi, nice to be here. Here's a view across the Alster, a reservoir in the city center, and our Museum of Modern Art. Hamburg, Germany has been my residence for all my life.
