@Npars01 @randahl The reason the #Netherlands is moving billions of dollars worth of gold reserves from the #UnitedStates to #London told in pictures…
#LifeImitatingArt.
@MelissaBearTrix #Netherlands withdrawal of $12 billion in gold from #UnitedStates is #LifeImitatingArt.
@jwildeboer #Dutch gold is moved from the #UnitedStates to #London after #Trump demands reimbursement for supporting #Ukraine (as per instructions from #VladTheInvader #Putin to #AgentKrasnov ). #LifeImitatingArt
@drahardja #Dutch gold pulled out of the #UnitedStates is #LifeImitatingArt.
Why did the #Netherlands move $11 billion in gold reserves from the #UnitedStates to #London ?
#LifeImitatingArt again, obviously!

The #history of #Russia is replete with instances of #LifeImitatingArt.
But not the #art of Classical #Greece or Renaissance #Europe. And not the #PopArt of the #UnitedStates either. Their specialty is dystopian #SciFi. In one-hundred years #Moscow has gone from “The Island of Doctor Moreau” ⬇️ to “Animal Farm”.
"Sometimes a story might not have a clear end when you begin or the script is developing along the making of the film, but you can always rely on chemistry. If you have two parts that really click your audience will know immediately. And that makes the job as a director so much easier." - Origin unknown (obviously said by a director, right?!)

#LifeImitatingArt at the #WhiteHouse.
#Resist #kakistocracy in #USpol. Make “Idiocracy” fiction again!
On #MothersDay , my wife, mother of our children, and Bubbles to our grandchildren found this shell 🐚 fragment on the beach!
@MoKaKi #DonaldTheDeplorable Trump’s #FelonsCrusade in #Iran must stop, and #WarCriminals prosecuted. However long it takes.
#Justice for the school girls of #Minab.
#StarWars #LifeImitatingArt badly.
It is now a prophetic saying that “When #fascism comes to #America , it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” This accurate prediction was inspired by the 1935 dystopian novel “It Can’t Happen Here”, written by #American novelist #SinclairLewis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Can%27t_Happen_Here
That novel had a plot, but the #FelonsCrusade is going according to the *nonexistent* plan!

Why do I feel like the #fallout storyline is starting to become reality? You have the billionaires creating their own vaults, corporations out of control, the threat of nuclear annihilation, etc etc.

When the #WhiteHouse appears to be following #Southpark plot lines about the ‘private life’ of #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump , you KNOW that #USpol is ‘going to Hell’! #LifeImitatingArt
@SocraticEthics #StarWars Episode I, “The Phantom Menace”, began with a #TradeWar. As did #AmericanCarnage2.0.
The ‘featured article’ today on @wikipedia is about Homer Simpson, the father of “The Simpsons” cartoon show about modern #American life.
Here’s a snippet - of the article, not the cartoon: “Homer embodies several American working-class stereotypes: he is overweight, balding, immature, unintelligent, outspoken, aggressive, lazy, ignorant, unprofessional, and fond of beer, junk food, and television.”
Hmm, switch beer to Diet Coke and Homer is #Trump. D’oh!
@petergleick
How it started: #Project2025
How it’s going: #Kakistocracy
#Putin is extremely pleased with his 🍊 puppet in the #WhiteHouse.
Meanwhile #MAGA loyalists be like Steve McQueen’s character at the end of “The Sand Pebbles”, wondering “What the hell happened?”
@GrimmReality #LifeImitatingArt is surprising and not uncommon. It can be beautiful, frightening, or hilarious! Sometimes all three!
In this real-life episode of #SouthPark , #JDVance puts baby-oil on Satan’s ass for his boss - metaphorically. 😂 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-live-updates_n_688d0894e4b022c2fdde8724/liveblog_68a65c04e4b0595931b88108
Another case of #LifeImitatingArt.
#Resist hilariously, and #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists in #USpol.

#StarWars #LifeImitatingArt again in the #resistance.
Hey, Mastodonverse, didja hear that Elon Stark offered an olive branch to President America?
The original “Hamilton” cast did a live medley during the #TonyAwards. The wildly enthusiastic crowd reaction was nothing less than cathartic!

@europesays #DonaldTheDeplorable Emperor has no clothes, and when an audience of *his followers* realize this #truth they erupt in laughter. 😂 ⬆️

This #USpol toot ⬆️ is unfortunately yet another instance of #LifeImitatingArt. 🤷🏻♂️ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-oval-office-question_n_67f76b71e4b0eac07502aead
#LifeImitatingArt again ⬇️ as #TrumpTaxes aka #Tariffs escalate and globally spread the #TradeWar that the #UnitedStates foolishly started with #Canada and #Mexico.
#Resist #TrumpRussiaCollusion and “The Phantom Menace”! #StarWars
#AmericanCarnage2.0 is all shock and no awe.

Seeing all those HBF "Health Points" ads just makes me think of the old Steven King short story "Quitters Inc". In it, the Mafia, under the instructions of the now deceased old Don turn their skills towards a quit smoking campaign, after the old man found out he had lung cancer.
They are very good at it, and at managing the potential side effects of quitting. But you will never get rid of them. And they will always be watching.
