[month illegible] 7, 1908, gelatin silver print, approximately 11 x 14 inches, tipped to board and matted, depicting Clemens standing at his billiard table, inscription somewhat faint, two words traced over, a few stray marks.
Clemens, dapper in his trademark white three-piece suit, studies the three balls on the billiard table, two long rows of books are visible on the shelf behind him. Clemens became obsessed with billiards late in his life when he received a table as a gift before his 71st birthday.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:c23bhillvtklims37pqwmzvl/bafkreich5yk3lgsrp3f3tz2l6l4fuqgzcek7vtlcpfhxssdivuxrs4gqja@jpeg)

Another press release from the New Yorker about Louis CK the sex offender. Sounds like the sex pest is DESPERATE for that large audience he once had.
Louis C.K. isn’t too cancelled to perform several sold-out shows of his new comedy show at the Beacon, but cancelled enough that, if you manage to snag a ticket, you might not want to brag about it to your co-workers.

Why would it be a controversy if the Republican Party controls all branches of the government including the press? Either they have a mandate or they don't! Are they a committed cult of unchecked entitlement or what?
One of the many controversies during Trump's second term has been the Epstein files. A hoax, scam, an attempt to make Trump look bad; these are just some of the ways that the Trump administration has tried to deflect the truth.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”
