A recent oil on canvas painted in my garden size 61cmX86cm "Two women at a garden table". It was one of my entries to the Cambridge Drawing Society 2024. Needs to be a bit more subtle in its tone I think looking back on it.

Take the time to watch this. This is why I love PMJT. He has never taken himself too seriously and can laugh at himself while others poke fun of him right to his face. That's a unique quality in a person, let alone the leader of a country! 😂

Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is.
Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot.
To stay home when sick.
To wash their hands.
Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain.

Also, it's took them until 2023 to realize Calibri is better - not just accessible but all-around better - than Times New Roman???? Where had they been for the previous 2 decades?
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

If they respond

to the mask you wear
and the precautions you take
by telling you
that at this point
nobody cares
about the pandemic anymore,
remember: the fact
that they feel so compelled
to tell you this
is because your actions
are proving them wrong.

It’s wild to me that people would prefer to spend a week or so being sick than to risk being judged by strangers for wearing a mask in public.
And that’s assuming that they believe “it’s mild” dogma and have no idea about the potential long term consequences.
Social control is a powerful thing.

Rare Triple Eclipse on Jupiter (NASA, Hubble, 03/28/04) - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/8KSzBg

__________________________________________________________
Five spots – one colored white, one blue, and three black – are scattered across the upper half of the planet. Closer inspection by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals that these spots are actually a rare alignment of three of Jupiter's largest moons – Io, Ganymede, and Callisto – across the planet's face. In this image, the telltale signatures of this alignment are the shadows [the three black circles] cast by the moons. Io's shadow is located just above center and to the left; Ganymede's on the planet's left edge; and Callisto's near the right edge. Only two of the moons, however, are visible in this image. Io is the white circle in the center of the image, and Ganymede is the blue circle at upper right. Callisto is out of the image and to the right. This image was taken March 28, 2004, with Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer.

Why is it always worse being female? 😔
Johns Hopkins scientists found that female mice recovering from COVID showed lasting memory loss and brain inflammation.
The effect was driven by having two X chromosomes, revealing a genetic cause for why long COVID hits women harder.
