I was looking at the new "smart" Lego sets this morning & found something Trump probably needs... I mean, it's FIFA and a trophy *and* gold[-colored]. He could put it on the mantle in the Oval and it would go great with all his other gold plastic shit. m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81C...

Been wondering exactly how much my white cat understands me--not just movement/body language/tone of voice, but actual words. I work at home & don't go out a lot. So today, he was in my lap, very snuggly, rubbing faces, & I told him I was going to listen to some music tonight at a club in town. 1/2

Got a text wanting to let me know what my polling place is for the Dem primary in TX this coming week. The text did say I should verify the info, and guess what? it WAS WRONG. I was a little skeptical anyway (it's not a location I've ever seen as a polling place)--good thing I checked, right? 🤷‍♀️

Sittin' right here, right here in my own damn swamp... Austin's had one decent cool snap so far, but humidity is 98% today w/ temps headed into the 70s-80s by the weekend. I console myself by listening to Carolyn--& remembering Mar-a-Lardo is a LOT closer to sea level than Austin.

Just received The Library of Lost Maps, by James Cheshire... The book is lovely--fascinating maps and their stories, illustrated and bound beautifully. I'm smitten! 📖🫶 Some of the maps do require a good magnifying glass to see all of the detail with which they were printed... not that I mind...

Just found this 1944 New Yorker cover! Loved reading it when I was a kid (my dad had a subscription for decades) but this issue came out almost 20 years before Dad subscribed. I've never seen it before: D-Day retold as if in a new Bayeux tapestry -- but in reverse... also: OG Antifa lol
Cover of the New Yorker magazine, dated July 15, 1944, the month after D-Day; the cover shows a cartoon drawn as if it were an updated Bayeux Tapestry, with King George, FDR and Churchill on the left in the first panel.

The center panel shows soldiers in longboats getting ready to land (with other troops who had already landed ahead of them.) The top of this panel says "MARE NAVIGAVITI * D-DAY * JUNE VI A.D. MCMXLIV".

The bottom panel shows tanks in pursuit of the bad guys, who are fleeing. Along the top of this panel, it says, "BAYEUX * JUNE VII / SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!"

The resemblance to the Bayeux tapestry is pronounced; although it's clearly a reference to what happened on D-Day (the boats bringing an invasion force, which then attacks the German army which has captured France. It also appears to be a bit of a joke at France's expense: the Allied troops having to invade Normandy to save the French (instead of vice versa) -- and fighting the Nazis at Bayeux, as noted in the bottom panel.

Nosferatu claims that due process doesn't apply to "foreign trespassers", so there is nothing wrong with sending them to concentration camps in El Salvador. (Not really, but I guess it sounds truthy to anyone who could vote for Shitler.)

The DOJ posted this a few days before Trump took over. It's a judicial review of the Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921. If DOJ hadn't posted it when they did, it would have been suppressed. Don't know how long it will stay posted, so if you want to read it, do it now. www.justice.gov/crt/case/ac-...
