A picture of a couple clip from the episode of The Twilight Zone from the 1960s, The Eye of the Beholder, in which the naturally disfigured becomes the norm. The makeup artists’ version of disfigurement is not unlike the ick of the mar-a-lago plastic surgery fools.
A picture from a Chicago Park District article about one of its wonderful sculptures, the Agora. “ Comprised of 106 nine-foot-tall headless torsos, Agora is one of the most important and extensive sculptural installations in Chicago’s recent history. The artwork gets its name from the Greek word for meeting place. The cast iron figures are arranged in interesting groupings. Some are frozen in positions that suggest great movement, while others appear to be standing completely still. Most of them are in monumental crowds, although some appear to be pulling away from the larger group.”

From the Museum of American Finance - 2 x 4 Wood Mailed in Protest to Paul Volcker Paul Volcker served as Federal Reserve Chairman from 1979 until 1987. Volcker’s policies steered the US economy out of a period of high inflation and slow economic growth by severely raising interest rates. During his tenure, Volcker experienced more political attacks and public protests than any other Fed Chairman, mostly due to the effect of his high interest rates on the construction and agricultural industries. In protest, farmers blockaded the main office of the Board of Governors with their tractors. This piece of 2x4 wood was mailed to Volcker’s office as a part of a protest by building contractors and carpenters, who claimed their lumber was unneeded since no one was buying houses. Although Volcker is now widely credited with stabilizing the economy in the 1980s, these protests show the complexities of managing a national economy, as changes in policy are not necessarily universally beneficial.

From Canterbury Classics, a picture of The Wizard of Oz book plus, “The Wizard of Oz was banned by all public libraries in 1928 because the book was deemed ungodly for "depicting women in strong leadership roles." However, the most notorious banning was in 1986 when seven families from Tennessee filed a lawsuit to remove the book from school syllabuses. One parent claimed, "I do not want my children seduced into godless supernaturalism." The case was later taken to the Supreme Court.”

Many Republicans posted before the election with a meme about how they’d never needed a celebrity while they had needed a doctor. They did this when celebrities offered support for Kamala. But they are supporting a government run by celebrities.
