The entire GOP is nothing but a Trump #Cult now.
Trump has destroyed what was once a political party like a cancer.

But does he really have friends? I see a few manipulators (#RussellVought, #StephenMiller), a few opportunists (#ElonMusk), a large number of lickspittle (eg #GOPCongress), and hords of #Cult followers (many of whom have their own agenda and will turn on him in heartbeat if he goes against them).
But friends?

Trump has created a slush fund of taxpayer money to give to his friends

The ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ is an extraordinary example of bald self-dealing

Penry Williams, el pintor galés que retrató con romanticismo la vida y los paisajes de Italia en el siglo XIX

Penry Williams (1802-1885) fue un pintor galés conocido por sus elegantes representaciones de la vida y los paisajes italianos. Nacido en Merthyr Tydfil (Gales), se formó en la Royal Academy de Londres y se estableció de forma permanente en Roma en 1827, donde residió casi seis décadas. Especializado en escenas de género, retratos y vistas italianas, sus obras retratan a campesinos locales, festivales romanos y el pintoresco campo italiano con una sensibilidad refinada y romántica. Sus pinturas combinan la claridad neoclásica con el calor y el encanto de la vida cotidiana en Italia, lo que le valió un gran éxito entre los británicos que realizaban el Grand Tour. Williams es recordado como uno de los artistas galeses más destacados del siglo XIX y una figura importante de la comunidad artística británica en Roma. Entre sus obras destacan títulos como 'A Roman and His Ox Cart by Ancient Ruins', 'A Distant View of Saint Peter's, Rome', 'Italian Goatherds', 'Ruins of the Villa of Maecenas' o 'Tivoli Waterfall in the Neath Valley'. Su legado refleja un profundo afecto por Italia, capturando con gracia y romanticismo la esencia de sus gentes y entornos. Este conjunto de pinturas muestra su habilidad para fusionar tradición clásica con observación detallada de la realidad italiana del siglo XIX, convirtiéndolo en un referente del arte británico en el extranjero.

@manna We also watched Engineer Garin’s Hyperboloid, another #soviet #cult #scifi film.

That was weird, maybe less intentionally as Kin-dza-dza, but still entertaining.

No slow-burn Slavic storytelling whatsoever! The pacing was so fast that I had some trouble keeping up with all the plot-twists. Apparently the director had just decided to skip over all the boring parts of the original book. Pretty astonishing for a mid-sixties soviet film.

Both had just excellent photography, really a-class.

Saw Kin-dza-dza again after a long time.

Still as weird and as hilarious as the first time. Doesn’t seem to get old. Pro tip: if you want your scifi flick still look cool 40 years later, use only scrap iron and other junk in sets. Dress everyone in cheapest rags you can dig up. It never goes out of style.

Ku!

Wickham Hosts Annual 750-Year-Old Horse Fair as Travellers Descend on Village

The Hampshire village of Wickham has once again become the centre of attention as hundreds of Gypsy and Roma travellers arrived for the annual Wickham Horse Fair, a tradition dating back 750 years. The event, taking place on May 20, sees the trading of horses and ponies, along with parades through the village streets. The fair traces its origins to 1269 when Roger De Syres obtained a royal charter from King Henry III to establish a weekly market, which over time evolved into the annual horse fair observed today. Residents prepared for the influx by closing roads and securing businesses, with most shops remaining shut, apart from a few local eateries and pastry stores benefiting from increased trade. The fair is a lively occasion, featuring fun fairs, food stalls, and community gatherings, though it has occasionally drawn criticism over the treatment of animals. Opinions among locals vary; some choose to avoid the event, while others welcome the tradition, noting the social and economic benefits. Despite occasional disputes and challenges, the fair continues to be an enduring cultural fixture, reflecting centuries of history and community involvement in Wickham.

Is nothing too much for MAGA? It's clearly a cult of personality, as all narcissistic psychopaths form as they attain power. Most of MAGA are lost forever; they've chosen moral corruption and that's not easy to come back from. Countless Germans still supported Hitler even after his actions resulted in the literal destruction of their country. Countless Germans still do, hence the popularity of the AfD.
