Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

Was reading up on early history of the Borsht Belt resorts in the Catskills and soon noticed these stand-out illustrations by Alfred S. Landis. A couple are photo type but most are done in a folk art manner. Very fun.

Pam Bondi is deliberately bad at this, right? Her policy is to tear up the rules, create chaos, and break stuff. Right in line with the rest of the administration. What she's particularly good at is boldly preening in her fiendish glee at doing so.

Bondi is again granted time by Republicans to attack the previous Democratic questioner, in this case Jasmine Crockett, but Crockett doesn't take it without trying to fight back. She then leaves the hearing as Bondi continues to smear her.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

I had to look this up. Tiny tot Siegfried, to my eye, has a very adorable relationship with his adorable dragon.
"No, don't kill the dragon," cries the child, upon hearing the full story during playtime. "Oh, but Siegfried must," says the reasonable adult. "He is the dragon slayer!"

1942 brings us "Random Harvest", starring Ronald Colman and Greer Garson, directed by Mervyn LeRoy who also directed "The Bad Seed". The plot is insanely convoluted yet you can correctly guess from moment to moment what will happen. A bad sappy melodrama that's fun to yell at.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
