A modest request: In reports about Trump's endless, lawless exec orders, maybe point out that he does not have legal power to do these things. Trump did not "make it official" or "make good" on this bullying, as @semafor.com contends. He has ZERO official power to do this. King Canute dept.

When we lived in China, foreigners made fun of insecurity/paranoia of Chinese film industry, and govt in general, because they put such a low cap on total foreign films that could be shown in Chinese cinemas per year. Day by day, Trump takes us closer to worst parts of PRC governance.

How my Caturday is going. Trying to work on 5 different paintings. I had to shelve four of them because they have oil pastels. This one (with the tail) might also need shelving because the Posca paint comes up if I go over it with acrylics. Matte varnish comes tomorrow. Willow needs attention. #cats

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”
