The fun fact about gerrymandering - Indiana going for all red will make nine seats GOP and Virginia going for all blue will make eleven seats Democrat. OOPs - that gives a two seat advantage to the Democrats. I am beginning to believe that this gerrymander push of trump's is going to give an advantage to Blue states because they are more populous and have more seats to play with.
Checking on on Tom McNaughton, painter of Trump ... He's now offering a 2026 calendar with a print of his dreadful sketch of "Never Forget! Charlie Kirk" as a free gift.
One of his recent works, Secret Service, in the calendar somehow manages to put more gold in the Oval Office than is already there, with a bonus of gold angels.

Night went well enough. Had YouTube playing me to sleep, and thankfully the splitting headache is long gone. Not a fan of being labeled a fall risk—I think I can walk six feet without trouble—but I am complying all the same. MRI will take place later (HERE IS *MY* GOLD-PAINTED BALLROOM??), and after they confirm results I expect I’ll be discharged.
Doctor just came in and said things so far are encouraging. The only thing they’ve found so far is a blood vessel with some unexpected narrowing, but they’re not surprised or terribly concerned.
Looks like I’ll be here all day. And…maybe tonight as well. Oh well…

I can't believe he found an architect to take over the project from hell from the client from hell. This isn't going to turn out well for the architect.
I can't believe he keeps finding lawyers. But there does seem to be a huge number of second and third string lawyers out there. I'd bet that the new architect is not as skilled as the last one,
Random OT question ... I've been trying to remember the name of the snarky, funny horoscope column that used to appear in free indie newspapers way back in the olden days of the 90s.

One of the many delightful things about capybaras is that they have a surprisingly dainty step.

True fact: Chupacabras are just Capybaras that I've re-animated!

Orange clown paint among them.
Oh, boy, I had no idea this animal existed. Thanks for the education!

Capybaras have always reminded me of this thing by Edward Gorey https://i.etsystatic.com/13100182/r/il/fe4c19/2789078767/il_fullxfull.2789078767_k8tc.jpg

If the Capybara of Venezuela are forced to flee invaders from the north wherever will they find refuge?
Well I have a backyard and a place in my heart.

Capybara is thinking, "hmmm, weird kind of massage."
'Keep at it, bird. I'll send you a bill. Ha! I slay myself."
That's hysterical! Capi thinks it's a delightful massage.
The capybara kids look so purposeful in their antics, like there's a plan...

Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes are going to have some very strong takes on the new White House ballroom architect.
Boston Dynamics robot dog + fake head = Art
It's art. That's not the only idea involved. You can take a reductionist view of any art.

McNaughton hasn't produced much new product the last couple of years. I wonder if his Trump muse has deserted him.
Much like Trump's balls, that well went dry years ago.

She loves publicity, though:

Sydney Sweeney would now like everyone to know she is “against hate.”
I'd love it if she took a stab at defining what she means by "against hate?"

The architect probably knows it will never get built and that he can skim off whatever grift Trump is running here.
It will be the easiest commission he will ever take. White marble with gold accents...call it a day by lunchtime.
Frank Gehry took one look at the plans and decided to die.

Saaaaaay, isn’t Scott Bessent a farmer?
That's about enough money to buy up the soybeans China isn't buying, at market price.
Trouble is, market price is about a buck a bushel below cost of production. For some farmers, two bucks a bushel less.
The goal is still to bankrupt farmers so Oligarchs can buy up the land for pennies on the dollar.
$40 billion for Argentina, $12 billion for USians. America first, but he didn't say which one.
