Vance is a bully.
Trump is a Russian asset.
Zelensky is tired and stressed.
This was never going to go well.
But great to see other world leaders restate their support for Ukraine afterwards.

But when RAISE was word of the day, I changed my opening word to ROUSE. My average score has improved considerably since

Two years ago, I posted some A.I. portrait images that were nearly indistinguishable from real photography.
They were a little too flawless, overly polished/vibrant, and none of them included the hands.
