Wrangling Prop 50 was all well, certainly, but otherwise I don't much care for Mr. Social Media Warrior -- however many points he supposedly scores in his mostly jejune parody prangings of the Orangenführer -- because, speaking of his devaluing people, he repeatedly offends in this vein:
Gavin Newsom Says Democrats Need To Be More 'Normal' If They Want To Win

I also deployed the first models of the Boss Dr. Rhythm and, for the odd white-noise burst and some goofy tom sounds, the Electro-Harmonix Crash Pad; both figure prominently in "Private Sector". Fun selon le auld-skool.

Ouch -- sorry. Read your later post about the wee kittle reemerging and snuggling up, tho', and that was pleasing to hear of.

Oh, Maestro, that's the model I used for The Judgement of Paris. Takes me back.

Matter of perspective, I suppose. From my vantage as an emblem-lit analyst manqué, that looks like a veritable jungle gym of Counter-Reformation iconography over which I would love to let eyes and brain clamber for a couple of days.

Does that mean "No Angel"? That putto looks a bit dissolute, IMO.

Stunning, the Grote Markt. To read "Tacos" in the context certainly delivers a frisson, gotta say. Could you tell what was up with the activity at the foot of the Brabofontein? Maintenance? A video shoot? The guy who cut off Druon Antigoon's hand straight-up deserves TikTok love, lol.

Well, you are able still, because -- and I know I'm being a drag, but needs must, sez the involuntarily-retired copy editor -- the river's spelt "Elbe". xo

Golly damn -- disproportionate rage-fugue much? (Love that book, BTW -- reviewed it for a now-defunct free weekly in Atlanta when it first came out.)

I must finally address the fact that the pitiable decedent highlighted here was supplanted in short order by the newer candidate for ranking MAGAt shahid, that purveyor of sociopolitical vility Kirk. Predictably, per the top post, that essay in Falangista martyrdom too ground to a sludgy halt. Next!

Unparseably monstrous. I look forward to the future in which this trashy, sub-former-Central-Asian-Soviet-satellite's-tinpot-dictator-grade annex is demolished.

In my defense: fox? Chicken? Not obvs? (In the event, maybe not so much. ¡Lo siento!)

Note to the Fox fox: sorry I in the inflatable chicken went right into the bit upon accosting you. Your vulpine mask hid face and muffled voice (& I also input/output-baffled), but I sensed alarm at my out-of-nowhere "I feel assaulted", and I appreciate your taking it (I think?) reasonably calmly.

I were remiss in my duty to 17th-c. EngLit did I not note that the b'day of my fave stylist Sir Thomas Browne coincided with No Kings II. Empty your mind with this extract casually-pluck't from his Hydriotaphia, Urne-Buriall, or, A Discourse of the Sepulchrall Urnes lately found in Norfolk [1658].
