Trump administration calls banned journalists' White House access
'a privilege, not a right,'
and brands coverage a security risk
In a new legal filing in the case over a trio of new outlets barred entry to the White House,
the Trump administration’s Department of Justice repeatedly defended the tyrant's ban by saying journalists were not entitled to access to the building.
“Access to the White House is a privilege, not a right,” the filing stated…

Trump's war has failed.
His economic policy has failed.
His trade policy has failed.
MAHA has failed.
His political project is failing.
Donald Trump is a world-altering, titanic f*ck up:
He and his team increasingly look like rapacious buffoons who are way over their head:
Yesterday our desperate, addled leader clownishly refused to answer which countries he was importing low cost beef from:
The sense of decay is everywhere

#mountainMonday ! Unfortunately not a recent photo but one that's quite a while ago. Before my wife had 2 knee issues. But maybe we can go there again soon.
As you can see, the landscape there is A BLAST! I totally love the area
#mountains

This image captures a breathtaking and rugged mountain landscape, evoking a sense of adventure and natural grandeur. A narrow, winding dirt trail cuts through the scene, leading the viewer's eye deeper into the majestic valley. The trail is flanked by rocky outcrops and patches of green vegetation, adding texture and contrast to the rugged terrain. To the right of the trail, a steep, rocky cliff rises dramatically, its gray and brown hues showcasing the raw beauty of the mountain. The cliff's r…

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind. It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha. Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge: It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'. Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril: The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

Folk who've been following me for a long time will remember that last autumn I was posting pictures of doing the joinery for a new workshop. And then I went mad, and got ill, and for most of this year there's been no progress.
But my friend Lucy has been here for a week, and between the two of us the frame is now erected. Now I need to sort the timber stack (which hasn't been improving while I've been ill), erect a roof, and build some walls. But the bit I couldn't …

Lucy standing in front of the north end truss, which has just been erected and its tenons forced into their mortices with a Spanish windlass. The truss is held upright by temporary diagonal braces. Between the pillars, various carpentry tools lie on a very chaotic timber stack.
The footing of one pillar of the south end truss on an old tree stump. The reason the building is so crooked is because it's foundations are the stumps of four trees that were blown down in Storm Arwen.
General view of the newly erected frame from its north east corner. The chaotic pile of sawn timber runs through it from north to south. Beyond, the trees on the edges of the wood are still standing, but most of the centre was blown flat in the storm, and new young trees are only slowly beginning to grow through the remaining wreckage.
Looking down on the new frame from my bedroom window. One of the new top rails still needs to be cut to length, and there's at least one brace still missing (I'll add more if I think they're needed. This is enormous progress, and a weatherproof workshop will be a great improvement to my quality of life.
