A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸

This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.

The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other.

The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order.

Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.

1. She's president's human binky & controls his social media 2. Foreign govts use her a conduit for Trump 3. She's lied about much of her background 4. She wouldn't or couldn't get security clearance (see 3) 5. She has an obsession w/ Trump giving their relationship a vaguely inappropriate dynamic

Watching Hegseth, I think of Eco's 'Ur-Fascism': "Since war and heroism are difficult, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters. This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits)." www.nybooks.com/articles/199...

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

There are lots of ways to answer this and one of them is that studying history makes you a better citizen and our public universities have an obligation to produce good citizens. History education is essential to a republican model of government. Engineering is not.

Yeah, to be clear, this kind of hacking of government websites is the kind of stuff they tried to prosecute people for to give 30 years or life sentences in prison, prosecutions that lead to suicides. But because GDP currently depends on these guys, its treated like inanimate objects playing jokes.

sincerely believe no one teaching college students at a college or university should believe something like this, let alone write it. If even professors think “value” is the same thing as “monetary remuneration”, we should shut everything down.

Quite from an Atlantic article I don’t want to link to because I find it so wrong headed: “ Every major college and university touts the liberal arts as the core of an undergraduate education, but the humanities in particular—fields of arts and letters such as literature and languages, which generally do not receive much, if any, federal research funding—enjoy mostly vestigial value that does not match the underlying economics of higher education very well.”

As an alternative to schools and teachers feeling they have to join grifting platforms to raise funds, it should be legal for people to just steal shit and sell it so long as the money goes to educating a non-familial group of children. Or we could just raise enough goddamn money in taxes.

This is a single issue that would justify impeachment and the resignation of every cabinet member. This is what would have happened 15 or more years ago. The literal first job of the U.S. government is to always have an effectively inexhaustible supply of missles.
