80 Nice portrait. I like the dark color scheme (serious matters?) and the level of detail in the clothing, especially in the contrasting cuffs. I assume the sword stands for warrior prowess and the book for scholarship.

The one discordant note is the thumb on the left. It seems to have an extra joint.

Look up his pencil or ink sketches on the Wiki page. They are wonderful.

Russian President Vladimir Putin fell down the stairs and soiled himself this week amid mounting speculation that his health is declining, an anti-Kremlin Telegram channel with apparent links to his security team reported. Putin, 70, suffered the unfortunate fall at his Moscow official residence on Wednesday evening, according to the Telegram channel “General SVR,” which purports to be run by a former Russian spy. The ailing Russian leader allegedly fell down five steps before landing on his coccyx, or tailbone.

119 111 NYPost:
Russian President Vladimir Putin fell down the stairs and soiled himself this week amid mounting speculation that his health is declining, an anti-Kremlin Telegram channel with apparent links to his security team reported. Putin, 70, suffered the unfortunate fall at his Moscow official residence on Wednesday evening, according to the Telegram channel “General SVR,” which purports to be run by a former Russian spy. The ailing Russian leader allegedly fell down five steps before landing on his coccyx, or tailbone.

Williams used to visit the Bourbon House in the block where I later lived, and Capote rented a room on Royal Street probably behind what would eventually be my mother's apartment. I'm not sure where Williams lived, but he had money enough in the '50s that he could have bought a house.

Author Frances Parkinson Keyes (pronounced, oddly, "Kize") lived on Chartres in the old Beauregard House during my childhood and high school career. I never met her that I know of. Hell, I might have seen her at the A & P or in the downtown shopping area and never knew it.

Looks like it is.

James Cameron, the director of the upcoming Avatar: The Way of Water film,
claimed that “[testosterone] is a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system.”

In a wide-ranging article from The Hollywood Reporter spotlighting Cameron and the film, which ironically doesn’t get into many of the details of the film, Cameron discussed his working relationship with The Walt Disney Company, who is producing and distributing the film after they purchased 20th Century Fox.

Americans are not getting their flu shots like they used to so the CDC is attempting to panic them into getting them.

Chapek was not fluid enough to pretend to not be involved and let slip a thing or two. Iger is more politically sly and got away with a lot, applied pressure behind the scenes. Don't tell me head of all powerful Disney does not set direction for everything in Hollywood including awards. So , yes, Iger would not have involved himself in FL fight publicly, but probably employed stealth tactics (like he has been doing for over a decade if not more) to infuse pedo agenda into every sudion project, theme park and merch.

276 But I see Fuentes the same way that I see Antifa, and Ray Epps. It feels like an op. Nazis hanging out with black rappers and gays just feels off, fake. And nobody points out the inconsistency, and Fuentes goes back in his box to await the next call to muddy up a conservative.

The problem here is Trump. He is susceptible to grifters of all sorts. Both those who are paid operatives, and just your ordinary grifters.

You could make a list of all of them, and there are lots of well known names. The only thing here, with the three stooges who showed up here at his house is just how much this has devolved into farce. I mean, Kanye is bad enough, but you throw in Milo? Fuentes?? Really???

352 The US Senate has become a joke because beginning with Barry Obama in 2006, more clown-level Senators are being elected every two years.

Mark Kelly? Jon Ossof? Mitt Romney? Now we get Lumpy Fetterman and either Herschel Walker or the Sleazy Reverend? And don't forget the former Senator who is now the poster child for Clown Senators: Kamala!

Maybe it's time we ran a horse named Incitatus for a U.S. Senate seat. As we run out of bread we're gonna need more circuses (circi?).

356 The B-21 Raider is the first new American bomber aircraft in more than 30 years. Almost every aspect of the program is classified. Ahead of its unveiling Friday at an Air Force facility in Palmdale, California, only artists’ renderings of the warplane have been released. Those few images reveal that the Raider resembles the black nuclear stealth bomber it will eventually replace, the B-2 Spirit.
Six B-21 Raiders are in production; The Air Force plans to build 100 that can deploy either nuclear weapons or conventional bombs and can be used with or without a human crew.

If I were DeSantis? I'm calling Iger and telling him I want to meet privately about the future of Disney parks in FL. When he gets there, I beat him half to death with a rubber truncheon and claim he attacked me first.

Of course, that's why I'm not governor of anything.
