Ridiculous #narcissism

Trump's image on a gold coin? His hand-picked panel will decide on the idea that another federal committee has refused to consider.

A federal “arts” commission will weigh whether to approve a commemorative gold coin featuring #Trump on Thursday, the admin’s latest effort to celebrate the president, even as Democrats and members of another federal committee say the idea is deeply inappropriate & potentially #illegal.

Trump’s hand-picked panel votes to put his face on a U.S. gold coin

The proposal had been rejected by members of a separate federal coin committee — and panned by former member Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Franklin, Benjamin - Poor Richard (1745 ed.) | WIST Quotations

Many complain of their Memory, few of their Judgment. Not an original sentiment from Franklin. See, for example, La Rochefoucauld (1666).

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.
 
[Πολλάκις ἐθαύμασα πῶς ἑαυτὸν μὲν ἕκαστος μᾶλλον πάντων φιλεῖ, τὴν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ περὶ αὑτοῦ ὑπόληψιν ἐν ἐλάττονι λόγῳ τίθεται ἢ τὴν τῶν ἄλλων.]

I would put $10,000 down right now that says that more than half of them voted for #Donald #Trump. They want control and they want to be recognized as the #source. How outrageous. Utterly beyond #vanity. Well into total #insanity. They fucking die. Tell me how much truth there is there. Fuck me.

A putto blowing soap bubbles, sitting on a type case full of type, and the letters in the bubbles read as: VANITAS (vanity).

A beautiful reflection of human writing and publishing. This detail, printed in 1751 in a German speaking newspaper, is a beautiful reflection about publishing and media impact in general. Our words and news may be read, and do have sometimes a social impact, but most of our media and words will be gone tomorrow. So write today, #writingcommunity.

#Vanity, geboren als #DeniseMatthews (1959-2016), overleed op haar 57ste aan de gevolgen van de zeldzame nierziekte.
Ze begon als model, tot ze ontdekt werd door #Prince.
In 1982 werd ze leadzangeres van het meidentrio #Vanity6, bekend van de hitsige hitsingle ‘Nasty girl’. Een jaar later al ging ze solo, speelde ze in B-films en viel ze een paar keer in Playboy te bewonderen. Eind jaren 90 bekeerde ze zich tot het christendom, wat meteen het einde was van de carrière van Vanity.
