Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 11/02/2025It's a coup. This is the most powerful - and admittedly, frightening - piece I've read yet on what's happening to the US. And very likely to the rest of us soon if we don't do something*. *"Something" starts with being informed. broligarchy.substack.com/p/it-is-a-coupbroligarchy.substack.comIT IS A COUPThis is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong. 5124

Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 26/01/2025I had a feeling this was coming. It's why the celebrations of the ceasefire made me sick with worry. It was far too good to be true. 140
Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Sunday so some fiddle practice. Plus the weather's awful so staying in by the fire and playing tunes. Today I'm practising Ashokan Farewell. Yes, I know my playing is baggy 😬 I'll get better, honest. 9270

Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Final stage on the quince painting. This is 10 x 8, oils and cold wax medium. I mention the medium just because. It made a lot of the texture and it sounds cool to say it. 6483

He lived to be 103 and was working to the end. He talked about progress as the work of lifetimes. Of knowing you won’t reach your goal in your life. 12643129

Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Given that the world appears to be ending I feel strangely proud that I managed to paint today. Session three, no plan, but there will definitely be at least one more session. A quince. #oilpainting #'stilllife #realistpainting 10281
Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I keep thinking today about how Trump said that people won't have to vote gain, as if it was a imposition to do so. I think he meant it. 280

He's been proved right time and again. We need poeple like this to unravel the obfuscation and they need to eat so they can do it, that's how I look at it. 020
Paul Foxton @paulfoxton.bsky.social · 12/01/2025I resolved to post more of myself here than I did at that other place. This is my favourite Sunday morning thing to do. Most mornings actually.
