I thought I'd share this painting as it's Liza's birthday today. One of my earlier paintings: 'Portrait of Liza Minnelli', oil on canvas, 30x40cm. This was auctioned to benefit the charity Barnardo's in 2020.

Nearly half of women who said abortion should be legal also said they would only vote for a candidate who shared their views (43%), compared with just 32% of men. That's a significant gender gap.
Update on this class: the person we're studying was a Christian anti-communist preacher who ran a training camp for Klansman & neo-Nazis in Colorado in the 1960s. We struggled to nail down the site of the camp, so one of my students emailed the county clerk & got the plat maps for it. I'm kvelling.
I donβt like the idea of Kevin Costner even being a sexual being if Iβm being honest
Whenever I say that I dislike vampires being portrayed as villains because I cannot disassociate them from queerness this is *exactly* what I mean.
π¨ BREAKING: Tesla's "Unsupervised Robotaxis" (no safety drivers) were cut from 8 to 4.
Only 1 is in service while the others aren't operating.
"Supervised Robotaxis", with safety drivers had 14 crashes & are 4x less safe than humans.
Why launch the Cybercab if FSD isn't working properly?

LOL. Very good.
Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them.
"How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power"
NEW: Election Records Handed Over to the FBI in Maricopa County, Arizona, Could Be Fatally Flawed, Experts Say
Unlike in Fulton County, Georgia, where actual ballots were seized, a federal grand jury subpoenaed digital data related to a partisan audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County.
I don't agree with them on most issues but it's good that the administration is doing so much to get Kash the enrichment he needs. You can't just throw a kong toy filled with peanut butter in there and expect your FBI Director to be healthy! defector.com/ufc-and-fbi-...
"Americans prefer a car-dependent lifestyle."
I can't tell you how much I hate this glib sentiment. The only way to determine someone's true, enduring preference is to give them full familiarity with their options. Americans have no familiarity with their options! They've only seen sprawl!
Benjamin Netanyahu - ΧΧ ΧΧΧΧ Χ ΧͺΧ ΧΧΧ @netanyahu Translated from Hebrew The blood libel known as the "Sde Teiman Affair" against the warriors of Force 100, which has damaged Israel's reputation in the world in an unprecedented manner, has reached its end. It is unacceptable that it took so much time to close the case that was handled in a criminal manner against IDF warriors who confront the worst of our enemies. The State of Israel must pursue its enemies, not its heroic warriors. https://x.com/netanyahu/status/2032120342919987651
ΧΧ©Χ¨ΧΧ ΧβΧ₯ Israel Katz @Israel_katz Translated from Hebrew Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path. https://x.com/Israel_katz/status/2032091667537309860

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet β and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now β never be the first to stop clapping.
AY YOOOOOO MY GOD!! ππ

ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it
for folks keeping track of this stuff at home, the real answer to the question "how on god's green earth is Tesla worth over a trillion dollars despite being a blatant scam grafted onto a failing car business?" is "because every new retirement account has to buy it as part of the S&P index"
Here's the news item from Reuters, which makes no bones about the fact that "for executives and early investors, that βdeeper liquidity could reduce the market impact of large sell orders once lockup periods expire"

Nasdaq is changing its rules to "entice" the SpaceX IPO to its exchange, which will fast-track the stock's inclusion in index funds... this effectively dumps Elon Musk's unprofitable garbage on vulnerable passive investors, and ensures new retirement accounts have to buy in.
i do think that if you are going to put egyptian mummies on display, that the room they are in should at least have a Ka door, and that there should be food placed on the lintel. the Rosicrucian Museum has one of those upstairs in the Akhenaten exhibit and it changed my opinion on repatriation.
