Moving on to another favorite artist for the featured images: René Magritte.

Feature image: “Le temps jadis”

Great video on Chicago’s basement bars.

My house, a Cape Cod built in 1943, had a bar when we moved in. I tore it out years ago but someone put some real love into building it. And when I look back at old family photos of parties of years gone by…they are almost always in my grandparents’ basement bar.

We…kidnapped? Abducted? Apprehended? the President of Venezuela. The press conference was a shitshow as expected. Trump reading in monotone his prepared speech. Pete Hegseth looking and sounding like he had an hours-long hard-on and wanting to get his face firmly planted in Trump’s ass. More bullshit from the Joint Chief Caine (they kept referring to him as “Raisin’ Caine”) with way too many adjectives about how great our military is (no shit).

Supposedly we’re going to run Venezuela. No details on how given we have no presence there and they didn’t finish the job by getting the other members of the regime.

Great start to 2026.
