No, that is not a link to The Onion:

In a series of phone calls, President Donald Trump floated a bizarre idea last week from his presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — he wanted to rip open his dress shirt after discharge to reveal a Superman symbol beneath, The New York Times reported Saturday.

He “wanted to appear frail at first,” people with knowledge of the conversations told the Times. But underneath his dress shirt, Trump would wear a Superman T-shirt, which he would reveal by ripping open the top layer of his clothing. He ultimately opted not to go ahead with the stunt. It wasn’t immediately clear why.

I think it is obvious, tRump is clearly crazy coo coo.

“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” ーAlberto Giacometti Happy birthday to Alberto Giacometti, born on this day, October 10, in Borgonovo, Switzerland. In drawing, painting, and sculpture, Giacometti’s works perceive the grace in form’s most minimal, reducing his subjects to the truth of what they embody. Over the course of his lifetime, against the shifting backdrop of two world wars, and closely involved with the poets, writers, and philosophers of his generation, Giacometti’s figures evolved from Post-Cubism to Surrealism to postwar realism, opening into themes of light and darkness, destruction, and truth. In “L’Homme Qui Marche: Une icône de l’art du XXè siècle,” currently on view at the Institut Giacometti in Paris, all the life-size models of Giacometti’s most famous work, “The Walking Man,” are gathered together in the same exhibition for the first time.

The World’s Longest Fossilized Human Footprint Tracks Discovered at White Sands National Park! ⁣ ⁣ This exciting new discovery suggests that over 10,000 years ago, an adult woman (or an adolescent man) and a small child walked quickly for nearly a mile, and then returned from where they came. The adult footprints are continuous, while the child’s prints disappear and reappear periodically, most likely meaning the child was being carried. ⁣ ⁣ These fossilized footprints tell tales of our ancestors so we can imagine what life was like so long ago and understand similarities to our lives today. ⁣ ⁣ Image 1: A panoramic illustration depicting what it was like at White Sands over 10,000 years ago.

This is a quick post, we have already seen a tornado warning tonight…also flash flood warnings, as the remaining parts of Delta pass over Northeast Georgia. I hope everyone takes care…this is an open thread.

      People can get reinfected with covid-19. Rare, but there are cases. Also, as far as not being contagious? We simply don’t know, especially since he’s had an experimental drug and we’re not getting thorough or accurate info on his condition. Plague rat, as Rep Swalwell says!

    Oh, how I wish his aides hadn’t talked him out of the Superman stunt. That would have been comedy gold forever.
