My great grandparents c. 1890. The backdrops were standard in photography studios. They were hand painted using a 3-D 'Trompe-l'œil' effect (French for 'deceive the eye'). Grecian columns, urns, tropical plants were considered objects of the bourgeoisie.

Canada is no longer playing. The polar virtex will remain in place until Trump is gone. I've been told this is non-negotiable.

My grandparents Lola and Russell Chapman c. 1940s. I never knew them, she died years before I was born and he when I was a toddler.
It looks they're going to a funeral 🤷♂️

It's 1780. The landscape is soaked in Patriot & Tory blood. This cannot go on much longer. A fleet of warships appears in the distance. Could it be?
IT'S THE FRENCH
George Washington weeps joyful tears. The mortal enemy of the enemy is here to kick some British butt.

Gripping tale about the 1849 California goldrush.
Some walked away millionnares. Most died getting there or went broke.
San Francisco was the wild west. L.A. was a small Spanish outpost. All that quickly changed. Gold got California its statehood.
Highly recommended.

Trump was in a good mood yesterday. He got to host a murderous king at the WH and honor the regime with a state dinner.

Wow. Ken Burns and his collaborators are holding a panel discussion about their documentary and the American Revolution. It will be broadcast live on TV.
I've been invited to attend.
This is very exciting.

In tonight's episide, the Revolution is fought on Canadian soil.
An attempt to invade Canada turns into frostbite and a humiliating defeat.
I just wanna know who thought invading Canada in DECEMBER was a good idea. 🙄

Did American colonists overreact to their "suffering" under the British?
Yes.
Did the British overreact to teach them a lesson?
Yes.
Our entire history is basically a series of overreactions. 😉
