Infinity Nets Yellow, by Yayoi Kusama. 1960. Kusama visualized patterns she saw in her halucinations, a medical condition she had since childhood. The scale, and delicate, intricate pattern is incredible. #Art #NationalGalleryofArt #nga

I am currently spending time in rural Virginia and West Virginia, in the pan handle. Anecdotally, I have been coming out here for years on family business.

@lavidagata.bsky.social In the rural areas surrounding me, the display of MAGA gear is a silver of what it was. A farmer who had erected a trump billboard on his property has let it rot. Republicon canidate signage is most often blue or green, very seldom red. Something is going on.

But Mr. Trump also appears determined to erect edifices that cannot be torn down after he is gone. He was enraged when his name was pulled down from residential buildings in New York City in protest after his first divisive political campaign in 2016, according to people close to him. Properties in other countries, including in Canada, followed suit.
