I posted The Staircase by Léger. The museum's context (in alt text) discusses WWI's impact on the kids sent to fight. When haven't "these kids today" not been furious about the world they were handed? It's the only way we move forward.

I saw that Canada needs to kill 400 ostriches that were exposed to bird flu. But RFK doesn't want them to but wants the US to take them. ON THE SAME DAY he canceled Moderna's contract to find a vaccine for bird flu. Now I shall watch several episodes of Supernatural, which will seem more real.
