an unstable global order, rising fascism, unprecedented inequality, waves of spiritualism, a beckoning economic meltdown, and a Mellon exerting undue influence in the White House... yup, it sure is the '20s alright

It's worth checking out the amazing 49-year-old 24-year-olds that make up the staff at the architecture firm that designed the Big Box King's Throne Room where the East Wing was. The firm changed their website to be landing-page-only, but the Archive still has it:

A twenty-something year old white man with 1930s-style pomaded hair and an argyle bowtie, named Smithers

A twenty-something year old white man whose smile looks like he just smelled a fart

A twenty-something year old white man wearing a loud paisley tie and a large silber cross with Jesus on it

Text from the architect's website stating "What are we striving to do?

We are striving to exercise our talents to achieve works of excellence that fully participate in the ongoing development of Tradition. This embrace of history inspires our work, and we labor in the vineyard with Iktinos, Kallikrates, Vitruvius, Suger, Brunelleschi, Alberti, Michelangelo, Bramante, Borromini, Bernini, Palladio, Jefferson, Latrobe, Bacon, Richardson, Sullivan, Lutyens, McKim, Cram, and Greenberg."

Tim Cook’s job isn’t going to survive this administration. He’s one more bad decision away from the board wanting him to “spend more time with his family”

There seems to be a common theme with the people Trump refers to as “Low IQ.”

Saw a nice exhibit on the crisis of the third century at the Capitoline Museum in Rome. Centerpiece was an extremely long row of imperial busts with placards explaining how each guy killed his predecessor and then got murdered in turn.

one thing thats kinda crazy to get your head around is not that the musk and thiel masters of the universe are ungrateful for the vast public infrastructure, public funding of research, and robust systems of laws and rules that made their wealth possible. it's that theyre too dumb to understand it

“The pardon is emblematic of Trump’s approach to clemency”. That’s a funny way to write “bribe”…

a lot of dumb fucking shit is happening in the world, so I'm going to deviate from it all a bit and share this: an artist proof I own (7 out of 20) of the late Storm Thorgerson's famous album cover for Pink Floyd's 1975 record Wish You Were Here; see alt text for details

this is an artist proof of the late Storm Thorgerson's famous album cover for Pink Floyd's 1975 record Wish You Were Here.

pictured is a white man with a black wig in a grey three piece suit standing to the side shaking hands with a white man also in a grey piece suit, who is also standing to the side. they are in the middle of the Warner Bros. studio lot (then known as the Burbank Studios lot).

the man on the right is on fire, with red/orange flames coming from his hair, arm sleeve, and pants. behind them are white building structures (three on each side) and you see a pair of drain grates at the bottom of the asphalt.

this is printed on silkscreen.

I've had this in my possession for the last 24 years and counting. originally I was to receive a regular print from the limited edition of 295, but Storm's assistant emailed me to let me know that they somehow made a mistake and asked if I wouldn't mind receiving an artist proof in place of it. not really thinking at the time, I said sure, what the hell.

it remained in storage, unopened, for that period of time, rolled up and wrapped in a tube with fancy lettering done in black marker, until today.

what I later learned is that an artist proof is a print made for the artist during production outside of the actual printed edition and reserved for the artist's personal use.

this was apparently from Storm Thorgerson's personal collection, of which only 25 were made. he also signed it to me.

watermark reads @bornmiserable.bsky.social • WWW.BORNMISERABLE.COM

a closeup detail of Storm Thorgerson's writing at the bottom of the Wish You Were Here artist proof which reads "artist proof, 7/20, to Tony"

a closeup detail of Storm Thorgerson's signature at the bottom of the Wish You Were Here artist proof which reads "Storm Thorgerson" with a slanted underline.

“The White House Ballroom will span the National Mall and several blocks in each direction, and will cost upwards of $2 trillion, all to come from private donations and settlement money from the federal government and educational institutions.”

I keep pointing out that by lowering the bar for prosecuting former FBI Directors, Kash signed his own arrest warrant, but under Trump, not AOC or whoever.

This revenge working group apparently targets mainly members of Trump's own prior administration. Trump once shared a podium with Anthony Fauci and boasted about his ratings; now Fauci is an enemy. The current working group members probably are its future targets.
