If I am not for myself,
who will be for me?

But if I am only for myself,
what am I?

And if not now, when?

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

BOOK OF LOVE /
MODIGLIANI
(LOST ON YOUR EYES)
[SIRE RECORDS] 1986

Album single artwork:
Book Of Love

Born in Livorni Italy on July 12, 1884, Amedeo Modigliani received very little recognition for his paintings and sculpture during his lifetime. He had only a single one-man show, which instead of success brought scandal because of several nade paintings. He died of Tuberculosis at the age of 36 The day after his death his mistress Jeanne Hébuterne pregnant with his child leaped from a filth story window killing both herself and the child. Within two years ironically, Modigliani's work began to be recognized and his reputation was soon established.

Girl with Pigtails

Amedeo Modigliani c. 1918

Nagoya City Art Museum

Black, beautiful hair and a well-defined, handsome face. Pursued beauty, had a dream of success but was never rewarded. Lived a destructive life of alcohol and drugs. Jeanne Hébuterne, his mistress, killed herself two days after he died. The life of Amedeo Modigliani is full of the decadent images we have of artists. Despite his destructive lifestyle, however, his works are filled with a tranquility which resembles prayer.

It is thought that Modigliani drew this Girl with Pigtails approximately one year before he passed away, when he moved to South France in order to escape the chaos of Paris during World War I. During this period, he became a father when he and his mistress, Jeanne, had a daughter. Probably because of the joy of fatherhood, he painted many paintings of children during this period, and this painting is counted as one of his major works. This painter, who had always been proud of Italian traditions and usually gave a priority to "form, let his honest emotions be revealed on his canvas Without asking or appealing for anything, this girl simply stares at us with clear eyes, and these eyes silently convey the painter's feeling to us, having led such an unrewarded life, he could not help pursuing tenderness and love.

It’s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

The Insurrection Act and Martial Law are different. The main difference between them is whether we have constitutional rights or not. You have freedom of movement under the Insurrection Act. Under Martial Law, you have no rights. We need to understand these nuances. They will be used against us.

RFK Jr admitted there’s no proof Tylenol causes autism.

He said “we’re making the proof”.

This is the man directing public health policy for the country.

If you have to “make the proof” you haven’t solved the problem.

He’s a eugenicist grifter.
