It's the same room. The subject is Morland Lewis's brother Eric, convalescing in 1930-32 at their parents' home in Ferryside, Carmarthenshire, Wales (note Welsh cakes, butter, cheese, egg & teapot on the breakfast table). This is "Working Man's bedroom"

Compared to Trump 2024, it's looking like a Dem overperformance of around a dozen points in GA-14 (MTG's seat).

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from 24 February 2026 to 10 March 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity is high through the initial time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of 28 February. The continued drop in connectivity aligns with a nation-scale internet blackout imposed by authorities after joint military strikes by the US and Israel. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicating the disruption period, and the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.
⚠️ Update: At 240 hours, #Iran's internet blackout is now among the most severe government-imposed nationwide internet shutdowns on record globally, and the second longest registered in Iran after the January protests, with the country having spent a third of 2026 offline.

"Sharper"?
As someone who likes a particular coffee very much (2 shots of espresso, about 6oz whole milk, no sugar) it’s worth noting that in the 1700s people were very particular about their snuff flavors. Popular flavors were rose, cinnamon, menthol, mint, fruit, spice, and camphor. Just saying.
They were released. May they stay safe and free.
