Gene Hackman was an amazing actor and will be remembered for many of his roles, but for me he will always be Royal Tenenbaum:
Royal Tenenbaum's gravestone, which reads: "ROYAL O'REILLY TENENBAUM 1932-2001 DIED TRAGICALLY RESCUING HIS FAMILY FROM THE WRECKAGE OF A DESTROYED SINKING BATTLESHIP

I know that poultry eggs are now unavailable for many Americans because of #H5N1. As a vegan, I can heartily recommend these vegan egg alternatives for fried eggs (Yo Egg), poached eggs (Yo Egg), and scrambled eggs and cooking (Just Egg).

Perhaps when our young William Turner awakens from his dream journey to Mars, he paints what he remembers in his dream...

Explore Mars as never before with a young J. M. W. Turner, the brilliant 19th century British Romantic landscape painter, in "William on Mars":

The first review of "William on Mars" has come in—it's amazing:
____________

5.0 out of 5 stars
Turner’s Vision, Reimagined on Mars

I loved this book. William on Mars feels like drifting through a living, breathing painting—one that’s both strangely familiar and breathtakingly new.

J. M. W. Turner loved to paint seascapes, and while Mars has no ocean on its surface today, areologists hypothesize that Mars once had a great northern ocean. See more in "William on Mars" available now on Amazon!

I love to paint the play of light on the land and sea and sky, and journey in my dreams at night, where I sometimes even fly! I lay down in my beckoning bed and closed my eyes to sleep. Artists and planets danced in my head. My dreams were profoundly deep. Come morning, I was still dreaming, I could feel the Sun’s light on my face. But not all was as it was seeming— I woke up in a strange new place. A wide oil painting in the early style of British Romantic painter J. M . W. Turner of a young William Turner (himself) dreaming in his bedroom.

As I've said before, and Trump here confirms: he will use the military to enact his mass deportation program (which will be mostly a mass incarceration program in concentration camps). I believe Trump will initially target blue states to attempt to break their power and control them militarily.
