St. Basil Cathedral, Red Square, Moscow
Photo by Fenichel

What I've thought of from childhood, those "swirly cotton candy stripey things" which are unique to this architectural icon. Four colorful 'onion' turrets, with gold trim sit atop red brick with white and green patterns. The two on the left are topped with the "swirly" turrets, while the two on the right have orange, red, and green balls or triangles. In between the two groups of turreted towers is a larger one spanning overhead, with tiers of patterns and a tall pyramid-like top section crowned by a gold turret.

~The Geniu$ Machine

1. A man with a microphone in hand, gestures towards a huge machine with sophisticated screens, meters, & controls:
“MY GENIUS MACHINE WILL FIND SOLUTIONS TO ALL THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS!”

2. The genius machine had heard his statement (the screens show audio waves showing this).
Machine: “Thinking…”

3. The man seems distraught, as the [AI/SI/genius] machine answers:
“You already have all the solutions. You just refuse to implement them to protect the financial interests of the wealthiest 0.001%.”

4. The man pulls the machine’s power cord from the wall outlet, shutting the machine down,

Post on X by Максим Мирович / Maxim Mirovich
Text posted Oct18, 2026 over a photo of Voladymyr Zelenskyn standing alongside Richard Branson in an office (blue and yellow flag behind)

Translated: 

Billionaire and philanthropist Richard Branson has joined the support for Ukraine and harshly criticized Trump:

“I thought I’d never have to say this in my life—but it’s 2026, and the Trump administration has started serving autocrats and dictators. What is it about Putin that President Trump grovels before him? The Starlink slowdown has already led to the deaths of Ukrainian civilians.

European leaders must overcome the shock of Trump’s actions and take matters into their own hands. We cannot allow the free world to be destroyed right before our eyes.”

I’ve always respected this man🤝

Original: 

Миллиардер и филантроп Ричард Брэнсон присоединился к поддержке Украины и жёстко раскритиковал Трампа:

«Я думал, что мне никогда в жизни не придётся этого говорить — но на дворе 2026 год, и администрация Трампа стала прислуживать автократам и диктаторам. Что такого в путине, что президент Трамп перед ним заискивает? Замедление Starlink уже привело к гибели украинских мирных жителей.

Европейские лидеры должны преодолеть шок от действий Трампа и взять дело в свои руки. Мы не можем позволить, чтобы свободный мир разрушили у нас на глазах».

Friday - TGIF? - Summary, amid the numbness of ICE, executions, weather, war, elections, and oil prices...

Our Stable Genius wannabe Supreme Leader, Sir #TumpVirus. has just spoken withVlad (the enemy) (i.e., #treason) and made a brilliant “deal” - to slightly lower U.S.diesel prices (i.e., help him in the elections) while violating sanctions and sendingmoney to #Putin to fund his #war on Ukraine. 

And a tip for anything he can do...
“Russia if you’re listening...”

Paying our enemy to continue his war on an ally, while violating ethical/legal guidelines, “aiding and abetting the enemy”, and in fact
‘dealing’ to help garner favor and advantage in our elections, colluding with Putin for the evil ‘win-win’ for tyranny, & assaulting #democracy.

A horned red Devil goes past flames, skulls and chains to answer the door.
He opens to open the door to his home, labeled "Hell".

Standing in the doorway, naked, with huge pink belly and orange head, is a confused looking Donald J. Trump.

🎯 We know who the #madman is... Is that Kaitlan Collins as (#media) Person of the Year? #TrumpVirus / #TrumpEpsteinFiles vs. #FreePress #democracy #truth
Cartoon by Mike Schick:

Donald Trump, orange faced and looking enraged, is holding up a TIME Magazine, with a woman on the cover (Kaitlan Collins? Journalism?).

Sir rages about the TIME cover: "How the hell did we let this happen?"
A man in gray suit holds up another magazine, this one MAD Magazine, with a depiction of Trump with big ears, saying "WHAT, ME WORRY?"...

Says the man with the MAD Magazine, to Trump:
"At least you made this one, sir."

#TrumpVirus #election #Truth A solution almost as perfect as Sir. Except that truth is Sir's _Kryptonite._ Perfectly despicable. Cartoon by #Luckovich ~~ #TrumpEpsteinFiles - #coverup still
Cartoon by Mike Luckovich.

Donald Trump, with signature yellow hair and deep orange face, with sections of unsprayed gray neck, is sitting looking glum & or angry.

Standing over Trump, who is seated at a small desk, is smartly dressed Stephen Miller, gesturing as he suggests a strategy:

"SINCE YOU'RE SO DESPISED, AFTER YOUR MIDTERM DEFEAT, I'D SUGGEST YOU CLAIM IT WAS RIGGED BECAUSE YOU SHOULDA LOST EVEN BIGGER..."

Everything the pro-Trump billionaire Ellison family will now own:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
And more...

With this comes the power to decide which stories get told, but more
importantly, which stories DON'T get told.
Shameful.

Speaking of #MentalHealth - And " #healthcare " #costs - American Style. I.e., " #insurance care "
Cartoon by Matson

Four entities are depicted as people on a long, 4-person treadmill, each with a progress graph in front of them. Three are wearing yellow t-shirts and roller blades, while the 4th (in 3rd position) is wearing sneakers, an Uncle Sam hat, and red & white striped shorts, and labeled USA. The treadmill is labeled "STRESS TESTER".

2. HEALTH INSURERS - with a graph showing steep rise in INCOME.
3. USA - showing a graph of HEALTHCARE COSTS skyrocketing.
4. DRUG COMPANIES - showing a steep rise in INCOME.

Cartoon by Rick McKee:

The first of 8 frames is Donald Trump, in blue suit, long red tie, and orange face.
He is waving upward and holding out tiny hands, as he bellows: 
"THE SKY IS BLACK!"  

The next 7 frames are all dialogue/reaction between two people- a man in green shirt (~ "Green") and a man in redshirt and MAGA hat (~ "Red")

2.
Green: "TRUMP SAID THE SKY IS BLACK..."
Red: "DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE LIBERAL MEDIA TELLS YOU."

3.
Green: "I HEARD HIM WITH MY OWN EARS!"
Red:  "THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID."

4. 
Green: "IT'S ON VIDEO!"
Red: "HE WAS JOKING."

5.
Green: 'HE WASN'T *JOKING*!"
Red: HE WAS TROLLING YOU, SHEEP."

6.
Green: "WHY WOULD HE DO *THAT*?"
Red: "BESIDES, HE'S RIGHT..."

7. 
Green, looking exasperated and pointing upward: "THE SKY IS *BLUE*!"
Red: "NOT IN SPACE. THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT"

8. 
Green, flustered & flushed, pointing @ Red as the latter turns & leaves:
" ARE YOU INSANE? OR *IGNORANT*?!"

Red, back turned and walking away: 
" 'IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH -' - GEORGE ORWELL"

Meep meep! TGIF... with a hopeful outlook ahead. 🤞 #TrumpVirus #Roadrunner #Justice #Law #Courts #TrumpEpsteinFiles #war
Cartoon by Sheneman, with 'apologies' to the Road Runner cartoonists, who are emulated here.

Cartoon is titled: "COYOTE VS. ACME" 
The scene is a highway lane with desert and cacti in the background.

Face to face on the street are the Cayote (left) on roller skates and with a lit rocket fuse labeled "TRUMP" on his back; and to the right is a blue Road Runner, who is labeled "MIDTERMS". Meanwhile there is an [Acme] anvil falling from the sky about to land squarely on the Trump Coyote. The anvil is labeled "COURTS".

Says the Roadrunner: "MEEP MEEP, FASCIST!"

Duke: "GOT IT."

Purple host: "MR. PRESIDENT, YOU REMEMBER AMBASSADOR DUKE? USED TO SKIPPER YOUR YACHT?"

Trump's voice, from behind layers of gold trophies, saying "Terrific", etc.
"YEAH, TOTAL LOSER. WHAT'S *HE* WANT?"

5. Duke, to the back of Trump, busy holding a golden urn:
"NOTHING MORE THAN TO SERVE YOU, SIR. TO HELP VOTERS FORGET YOUR HUMILIATING SUMMER."

6. Trump,with 2-tone face, turns to Duke: "MY WHAT?"
Duke: "YOU KNOW. THE CATASTROPHIC FOREVER WAR. THE SPIKING GAS PRICES, THE CONTINUING EPSTEIN NIGHTMARES."

7. Duke, holding a cigarette in a holder, swirling smoke, continues:
"NOT TO MENTION THE PATHETIC STATE FAIR, THE CANCELED ACTS, THE REFLECTING SWAMP WITH PEELING LINER, YOUR NAME STRIPPED FROM THE KENNEDY..."

8. Duke is being escorted off the premises, by the scruff of his neck.
Duke, to handler:  "NO LYING, YOU SAID."
