"An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King,
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
Through public scorn-mud from a muddy spring-
Rulers who neither see, nor feel, nor know."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
While 42 million lose food stamps, they toast themselves in rooms gilded with avarice.

This is a food bank in Phoenix, Arizona. People are lining up because by this weekend their country will no longer give them their food stamp benefits. But Trump isn't the first person to ignore them. Food is just one of many problems these people and their ancestors have had for decades.

You no longer need a meme or a political cartoon shared online to satirise the demolition of the United States as a country, because we have a photograph -- in all its grotesque and graphic reality -- of the symbolic and literal dismantling.
For a $250 million ballroom nobody needs or can afford.

In autumn the Adirondack line runs a glass domed car to view the changing autumn foliage. Absolutely lovely.

At one point you could join the Delaware and Hudson lines and come to Montreal all the way from Pennsylvania. About the same as Nice to Paris. Railway could have been so wonderful here. And it was for a few decades. Film, music here all were influenced by it heavily.

Diane, or "Keaton" as Woody calls you, thank you for Interiors, which people will surely never remember you for despite that it is, in my opinion, your absolute best. Without rival. This performance is one of a few (Ullman in Autumn Sonata) that informed how I wrote female characters from then on.

Hey, how's Trump's brilliant ceasefire going?
All the media left, right, center, up, down, will ALL ignore this.
Because any solution, even one that still fucks over Palestinians, is supposed to be better than none.
Not good enough.
All for a string of waterfront developments.

You see why some of us on the real left were so pissed when Democrats chose useless Kamala over Newsom?
"He wasn't right..."
"She's a strong woman..."
"Newsom's not president material..."
"Kamala really cares!..."
Ok. Well where's Kamala now? Oh, that's right, promoting her book.
Where's Newsom:

This is us, who mask everywhere indoors to protect our health, supposedly living in fear, not being able to go anywhere or "do anything", and letting #Covid apparently "control" us, watching our favourite band #Elbow in concert.

You wanna know what real tough Israeli soldiers do? Real fighters for their cause?
You wanna see how Israel enforces the right to defend themselves and goes looking for hostages?
...by scaring the shit out of children. Because that's what real honourable soldiers do.

One of the most dangerous people in the world isn't the one on the left. It's the absolute disappointment, fraud, and deplorable failure of a liberal, Keir Starmer, building Trump a stage to give his performances on and to publicly kiss the hem of Trump's garment.

It is genocide. Period.
My wife and I will stop dealing, working with, or interacting with anyone who thinks otherwise. It is that simple.
Sanctions are ok, but like Bardem says Israel needs to be called out by regular people in regular life.

Footage of the IDF rescuing hostages and exerting "the right to defend itself" while helping clear land for the "Riviera of The Middle East".
But, not to worry, they will have dumped flyers telling people to get out first which is quite nice of them, really.
