Welcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily madness of the crazy world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.
Some more from my visit to the San Diego Museum of Art and the Mingei Museum last month.
"Jaguar Head" Unknown artist. Wood, beeswax and glass beads.
Can you believe this shit? What a show.
The West has lost its Enlightened minds. Most of Europe is turning away from free speech, freedom of the press, and individual rights and is goose stepping towards totalitarianism. Their blood lust is palpable, their leaders insane, as they turn their backs on opposition parties and free elections, all in the name of holy democracy.
The US is headed in the same direction, albeit a bit slower in pace. I had thought that we had seen peak craziness in the last administration, but we've only got one foot on the step of the crazy train and still haven't boarded yet. The divisions so carefully crafted have become yet wider and deeper. We the People, compartmentalized and fenced into smaller and smaller factions, grow further apart with each division, are much easier controlled that way.
Free speech and freedom of the press are under assault and the Constitution is hanging on by a thread, one tragic event away from obsolescence. The balance of powers are being tested in a power struggle that is rushing headlong towards a constitutional crisis.
It's So Easy To See Now
First, Happy Spring! Spring is wonderful! Now, onto the stuff...
Maybe even up to a few years ago, ok maybe 10 years ago, I'd have been a bit doubtful in believing that politicians and their like, including the media, manipulate things so very overtly. But not anymore.
Just a few days ago the Dems were supposedly gonna fight back hard against Trump's budget stuff. And the Dems in the House of Representatives did. And the Senators were gonna too, and Schumer was all into it. And then... what happened? Schumer and a few others, like Fetterman!, caved. Of course. (I have to admit, I like Hartmann's term for Trump - the 'Mango Mussolini'. Hah!)

The Trump Admin cares about worker exploitation. Are those workers children in America? Of course not.
And maybe politics will kill us.
First off, it's clear that our refusal to discuss politics has left our ability to discuss politics at a very rudimentary level.
