But when I give the loction;
Laputa keystone replica on the rooftop garden of the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka.
The “runes” are actually Old Persian cuneiform, the same script Miyazaki used for the Laputa civilization in Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
This is a version of Laputa’s magic control stone.

A test for ChatGPT - just the picture alone, no other info;
It looks like ancient writing, but this is not real cuneiform.
This is a modern artwork / installation piece that imitates the visual style of Mesopotamian cuneiform, but not actual Sumerian, Akkadian, and they don’t form readable text.

What a moron. In addition to not knowing what a tariff is, he doesn't know how insurance works. It doesn't have to be bad or a rip-off, just fair

Look at it this way. It will probably be a lot cheaper when they don't have to move from the White House to Florida for lavish parties. Win! 🤮

Add Trump to this list. He was lying when he said he'd be dictator "for a day".
"Authoritarians showcase power through architecture: Ceaușescu’s mega-palace, Saddam’s lavish halls, Marcos’ monuments, Stalin’s grand designs, and Kim’s colossal palaces—all symbols of dominance and propaganda." CGPT

Yeah - surely any reputable contractor wants to see approvals and other documentation before even starting the engines of the backhoe? Because if they work without permits, the contractor is liable right?
Oh wait, a reputable contractor would not work for Trump in the first place.

First time I went to the US I did a long road trip, Miami/Toronto. Talk radio all the way. I wanted to find out who Americans really were. Looks, vile kooks. I didn't realize at the time that Rush et al didn't represent all Americans. There was no representation of kindness or empathy on the radio.

Sean Combs hasn't been Puff Daddy since 2001 - this is another of many recent examples of Trump living in the past... another symptom of dementia. Not to mention that he "hasn't heard" Jizzy's name for a long time. That's not true, so either it's the dementia or the lying, take your pick.

I took that exact photo in 2012. Hmm where is it now? Somewhere on a 4tb hard drive I hope!

It's a reflection of the state of the country right now that this doesn't sound completely unrealistic...

Noteworthy; ChatGPT talks about "Trump's personal cult". I didn't say anything about a cult in my question. So it appears now obvious to everyone (and everyTHING) that it's a cult - except to those who are in it.

ChatGPT is; If Trump dies soon, it likely becomes easier to stop Vance from “destroying democracy,” because Trump’s personal cult doesn’t automatically transfer. The risk is that Trump’s death could radicalize his core base in unpredictable ways, but Vance alone doesn’t command Trump-level loyalty.

Errmm... is that Woody Allen just behind Epstein? If so, that would be an interesting but not altogether surprising connection wouldn't it?

That's not entirely true - he DID say "I wish her well" to Ghislaine Maxwell when she went to prison. That was nice.

Whatever happened to Trump's amazing awesome fabulous plan to replace Obamacare? I seem to recall it was coming in two weeks, 6 years ago ...

Sounds like an invitation to refugees to me. Yet the asylum process is dead, and people who have been legally following the process have been arrested and deported. America that was great was built by these people, now it's overrun by fascistic Christian Nationalists. America is DONE.

Is that the sun setting on the American Experiment?
The inscription on the Statue of Liberty does NOT say "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free (but only if they come legally)".
