how fucking nutso is it that Donny considers the revenue that our government takes in to be 'profits' for his personal use? and it's insane that the press just goes along with it. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I explain just how insane it all is. link is here: bit.ly/4AC7UFc
And it’s just fucking weird that Donny considers money taken in via taxes and tariffs to be profits. they’re not — they’re revenues.

This is a fundamental mistake that all these shit-gibbons who insist that ‘government should be run like a business’ make. Governments are not businesses. The revenues that a government takes in are — in any sane country — used to provide for the public well-being of its people. They’re not profits, for some tinpot fucksnoot like Donny to hoard for his own personal use.

And what’s all this nonsense about ‘Democrats don’t have any income’? There aren’t two treasuries, one for each major political party. There isn’t Republican money and Democratic money. It’s just money money.

Not only is it fucking insane that Donny believes this, it’s insane that every worthless scribbler of the corporate-controlled press just sits there and nods their head and goes, ‘well, I guess if Donny says so.’

None of this shit is normal. Is it really too much to ask of our media to stop treating it as if it were?

The rich would prefer you to believe that the "free market" is subject to the immutable law of supply and demand. But for years, the wealthy and powerful have manipulated the market for their own gain. There is nothing “free” about it. Watch.

Ukrainian civilians heroically ride bicycles, evading landmines while under Russian bombs and drones, to retrieve food and aid for others left behind in Russian-occupied Oleshky. About 40 children remain, while most of the other survivors are elderly people.

Fireman’s Shirushi Hanten. Cotton with Indigo Dye. Meiji Period, Japan. Circa 1870-1910
Laid flat in a broad T-shaped silhouette, this formidable shirushi hanten (marked fireman’s coat) showcases the commanding visual language of Meiji-period textile design. Deep, light-absorbing indigo (aizome) forms a velvety dark ground, dramatically punctuated by stark, un-dyed white paste-resist motifs. At the nape, a crisp astronomical crest featuring six connected celestial spheres anchors the upper back, suspended over a subtle, repeating interlocking lattice grid (fundo-tsunagi) across the main body. Along the wide sleeve cuffs and flared lower hem panels, broad, maze-like geometric characters (kumi-jirushi) form a heroic, labyrinthine border. The coat evokes a powerful sensory landscape: the dense, substantial weight of heavy hand-loomed cotton, the faint, earthy fragrance of fermented indigo dye, and the stiff, protective texture of paste-resist fabric crafted to withstand intense heat, water, and flying ash.

Originating in the late Edo period and continuing into the Meiji era (1868–1912), the shirushi hanten served as both functional armor and a emblem of fierce civic identity for town firefighter brigades (machi-hikeshi). Often thoroughly soaked in water before the wearer charged onto burning rooftops, the garment protected the firefighter while identifying his specific brigade unit amidst dense smoke and turmoil. The crisp white motifs were created using traditional paste-resist dyeing techniques (tsutsugaki or katazome), wherein sticky rice-paste (nori) was applied by hand or stencil to shield the raw cotton fibers from successive indigo dips.

These are what the clouds on Jupiter look up close. The small patches of white are cloud tops, soaring above the main, colourful cloud layer. Image from NASA's Juno spacecraft during its 38th close approach to Jupiter on 29 November 2021, processed by Kevin Gill (@kevinmgill.bsky.social)
A complex, swirling pattern of lighter and darker clouds. One large system, angled to the upper left in this scene, is a tawny brown colour and is elongate. Another, more circular storm system is at lower centre, and is a grey–greenish colour. The background swirls are various shades of grey to blue; small, white features dot the scene.

Onsen (natural hot spring) bathing holds a sacred place in Japanese culture, originating as ancient Shinto purification rituals (misogi) and evolving into the traditional practice of tōji—hot spring retreats for physical healing and spiritual rejuvenation.
Framed by a wide, open-air timber portal, an emerald thermal bath rests in perfect stillness, its mirror-like surface echoing the vibrant, rain-kissed green canopy of the forest beyond. A carved stone spout steadily channels clear, mineral-rich spring water into the pool, sending delicate ripples across the reflected foliage, while soft paper lanterns (andon) flank the bath with a warm, golden glow. Outside on the wooden veranda, a solitary reclining chair sits perched above the woodland floor. The scene invokes a deeply immersive sensory atmosphere: the soothing warmth of mineral waters, the gentle aroma of wet cedar and mountain earth, the soft murmur of trickling water, and the crisp, refreshing air of an untouched forest ravine.

Onsen (natural hot spring) bathing holds a sacred place in Japanese culture, originating as ancient Shinto purification rituals (misogi) and evolving into the traditional practice of tōji—hot spring retreats for physical healing and spiritual rejuvenation. In traditional ryokan (inns), open-air baths (rotenburo) are designed to harmonize human sanctuary with untamed nature. This architectural integration exemplifies the principles of Japanese monozukuri (artisanal mastery and material craft), utilizing natural materials such as hinoki (Japanese cypress), slate, and untreated timber that age gracefully alongside the surrounding landscape. Every angle is meticulously calculated to preserve the natural contours of the environment while offering bathers an unobstructed, meditative encounter with the changing seasons.
