Can't believe I missed this great new work of art.

The 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands has been placed on the National Mall.
The installation, created by an anonymous group called #TheSecretHandshake will remain on display until Sept. 28.

The statue arrives as the release of government documents on Epstein continues to draw scrutiny.

I know we are trying to hold back forces of fascism, which is all-consuming, but I do take a two-hour breaks from time to time to decompress and catch a buzz. Usually I'm in the middle of some Scottish or Welsh detective show (featuring a tortured small town detective who drinks, but how could he not?) but I'm fresh out, so watching Succession. Still can't believe creator Jesse Armstrong turned down a 5th season Succession, a master work at its zenith.

Cancelling Hulu.

For reason we put down "Jimmy Kimmel. Shame on you."

Told my kids in case they were using ours too. But one supported me, and the other had just cancelled their account.
