The antique shop is at Robbie’s Marina. A civil war cannonball. Now to see if it’s a treasure, or a paperweight!
I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Art of the Day
We the People. It stands out above all in the scribed parchment inside the glass-encased shield inside the Rotunda of Congress with three words bigger than the rest: We The People. Penned on a single sheet of animal skin by Jacob Shallus, it stands out as the Great Charter of American liberty, the profound experiment in self-government, and still stands today as the oldest and shortest written constitution of any major government in the world today. Those words stand out above the rest, written in flowing letters outsized to the text, to remind the world upon what power our government sits: We the People.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Art of the Day
One place where AI proves fun is its image generation capacity, whether for memes, dystopian dreams, otherworldly experiences, or translating photos and ideas into the templated work of famous painters. I asked it to convert this meme into a Hopper painting, and it turns out quite fun, as it blurs and blends the images into the spirit of the people and place, as Hopper so masterfully made so often. A Hush Hush of its own accord.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Art of the Day
Working away in the hidden office, devouring intel and discovering information, to share with the world. My office looks like this, but replaced with digital feeds over the physical ones of yesteryear, processing the running feeds into recognizable patterns that can both explicate and forecast alike. To all the hidden offices uncovering what his hidden for the world.
