Analysis: Most of Mamdani’s Budget Proposals could be accomplished at minimal cost to the city:
* Grocery Store pilot: $60 million is a miniscule fraction of NYC's budget;
* Free buses: the $600m cost is ~0.5% of the budget;
* Rent freeze: zero cost to the budget

Why the international silence on Palestine?
For a century since Balfour, the imperial powers have aided the Zionists.
For imperial (strategic & resources) & antisemitic (nimby) purposes, Britain & US wanted their own mini-imperialism in the Middle East.
Most other countries are client states of a very nasty US empire, & hence do what they're told.

Analysis: Israeli myth-making about history has become a geopolitical danger (as also Christian Zionism).
Netanyahu alleges that a Muslim jurist "put Hitler up to the Holocaust... a complete lie".
And, no, Jewish slave labor did *not* build the Giza pyramids (c2575-465 BCE), "bcz there were not yet any Jews at that time".

History "is political, & historical falsities are often [about] uniting people behind grievances or claiming an ancient glory that makes people feel good about themselves today."
"People don’t get glory from their ancestors, they get glory by behaving like caring, ethical, creative, giving human beings in the present."
"Nursing old grievances from 1000s of years ago is just creepy", especially when there's no evidence.

One of the first colored pencil drawings where I experimented with gradient colors and using alternate colors.
I had a lot less colored pencils back then, lol.
I also think back then I was testing out my dip pen on that Strathmore mixed media paper. It is so-so.
Colored pencils, pen and ink, marker.

But! I'm usually looking for information that's mostly conceptual not visual.
I also recognize that there are situations where video / visuals can help, and also that people have different learning and information processing styles.
