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.

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.
