"Cool dude, see you in discovery!" is the obvious UNO Reverse card to Trump's attempts to bully organizations by suing them for a trillion dollars. It's a massive indictment of the US system that one after another institutions and major organizations settled and paid bribes rather than play it.

January 2020: Aoi-tayuu, of Suehiro okiya, playing Nasu Yoichi (那須與市) on the Chikuzen Biwa (筑前琵琶, Japanese lute from an ancient city in Fukuoka Prefecture) at the First Suehiro Rehearsal Party (第一回末廣屋おさらい会).

In this striking recital portrait from January 2020, Aoi-tayū (葵太夫) of the historic Suehiroya okiya performs the classical narrative Nasu no Yoichi (那須與市) on a five-string Chikuzen biwa (筑前琵琶) during the First Suehiro Rehearsal Party (Dai-ichikai Suehiroya Osarai-kai). Holding the broad, fan-shaped wooden plectrum (bachi) against the soundboard of the lute—distinguished by its carved crescent-moon sound holes (getsu-in)—she chants the heroic episode from The Tale of the Heike, invoking the famous warrior who shot a folding fan atop a distant enemy ship at the Battle of Yashima. Dressed in the full, magnificent regalia of a Shimabara tayū, her ornate coiffure is crowned with a brilliant canopy of dangling silver bira-bira hairpins, tortoiseshell combs, and delicate floral ornaments that frame her downturned eyes and traditional oshiroi makeup. Her heavy, multi-layered formal ensemble pairs an off-white outer robe with a gold-embroidered brocade collar (han-eri), vermilion sleeve linings, and a soft lavender lower garment. Behind her, a gold-leaf byōbu (folding screen) depicting classical military processions forms a dramatic backdrop, perfectly uniting the visual grandeur of the tayū tradition with the ancient musical storytelling of the biwa.

Last night, Kyiv looked like this. Russia targeted the capital with 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, 24 Iskander-M/S-400 missiles, and 115 strike UAVs including Shahed (mostly jet-powered), Gerbera, and Italmas types, as well as "Parodiya" decoy drones (98 shot down).

She's been working so hard for her first week with us to get healthy. And the first weigh in went super well. 7 lbs down and she is starting to feel herself again! A long way to go but she is off and running
