I spent my life getting really really good at arcane things from way back that turn out not to matter much anymore - whether it was Latin or Greek or Morse code.

So it's easy for me to imagine what it's like to be a constitutional lawyer.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
Trump making clear that he intends to wage war against Chicago, and all the other cities that voted against him (which is basically all of them)

Just the THIRD time #Yankees long club history that their pitching has allowed 7+ runs in the 9th inning of a home game.

Only other times: August 22, 1976 vs #Angels and September 8, 1937 also vs #RedSox.

First guy I drafted in Strat.
Him and Dickie Thon. Great teams are strong up the middle.

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

Sick of everything being Orwellian or Kafkaesque. I demand more Scarrylous situations, where animals drive vehicles and run small businesses.
