“Sacred” geometry in the wild…

Good morning!

In the one term Trump’s three justices have… decimated the legal landscape we have lived under for generations, slashing power from the federal government, where Congress represents the majority, and returning it to states, where a Republican minority can impose its will.

Just tonight we learned that FBI agents found a document detailing the military defenses of a foreign government, including its nuclear capabilities, during last month’s search of Mar-a-Lago.

“Mandala” series:

A new series is starting to establish itself… i call them modern mandalas, for lack of a better title. Maybe that will evolve. The idea is to channel spiritual circular diagrams using circular objects/stains found on the street and sidewalk.

Season one, episode one, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Constellation, not sequencing, carries truth.

The “Democratization” of Everything: On Conflating Democracy and the Market

In twenty-first-century America, whatever you care about will be used to try to sell you something.

… Burlingame’s speech was once widely considered one of the most important speeches in American history. It marked the moment when northerners shocked southerners by calling them out for what they were, and northerners rallied to Burlingame’s call.

Highly recommend this movie… gets off to a slow and annoying start but delivers down the road. A little violent but not too bad and darkly funny.
