Bit tired of seeing "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law" attributed to Napoleon. It was Marcus Tullius Cicero, after he, as Consul, illegally ordered the execution of a bunch of his opponents without trial. For this crime against the Republic Cicero was tried, convicted and exiled.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Can you explain Hegseth's suit (& shoes)?

Once again an artist is pilloried for 'being political'. If art weren't political, the Sistine Chapel would have a beige ceiling.

We've just handed over $800M – maybe it will cover the increased cost of the steel & aluminium they'll use building the subs we don't need, can't afford, won't command and may never get. But will still pay top dollar for. BTW – the 800mil, is that AUD or USD?

So true. Here in Australia, the broacasters seem to save a space for whatever Trump did/said, even when all he did was play golf.

Lo9k at the faces behind her – they know what's going to happen next. I know that historians hate the term "dark ages" but really, Europe didn't,t see painting like this until 500 years after Rome fell.

Yes, I can sympathise all right. Not with him, though.

Why are we reading "Trump fired...?" If he were a Russian/Chinese/North Korean dictator the word would be 'purged'. It's what dictators do.
