There is a certain irony to the Tangerine Tyrant making the point that even though there are photos (and lots of them) of him fraternising with jefferey Epstein, he shouldn't be regarded as guilty by association, when much of his domestic policy seems to be built on exactly that sort of presumption.

An 1880s warehouse on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. Like a surprising number of warehouses on this street, it was converted into a cinema at the start of the 20th century. Designed by Duff and McKissack, it opened as La Scala in 1912 and seated 1,000 people. Its auditoriun was divided into two smaller screens in 1976, with a third added in the former cafe area in 1978 before finally closing in 1984.

in reply to Sapphire • • •Here's an alt-text description for the image:
The image depicts a person lying supine in shallow, murky water, surrounded by green foliage and bubbles. The person has light skin and blue hair, partially submerged in the water with eyes closed. A large mechanical robot is positioned above, partially obscuring the view, its metal structure and red accents contrasting with the organic environment. The person is wearing a red garment and dark-colored shoes with straps. The scene is illuminated with a soft, diffused light, creating a tranquil and somewhat melancholic atmosphere.
Text visible in the upper-right corner: “跡-木 (ATO-KI)” and “water drop.”
