2s’Day — 3.3.26

in two parts– from the Hermitage, but not about it .

Béla Tarr (21 July 1955 – 6 January 2026, 70y). Tarr was a critic of nationalism. In a 2016 interview said, “Trump is the shame of the United States. Mr. Orbán is the shame of Hungary. Marine Le Pen is the shame of France. Et cetera.”[ — wikip.]

he said his films had been misunderstood: “My opinion is that we were doing comedies. You can laugh a lot.” He added that they were not pessimistic. “I only ask this – how did you feel when you came out of the movie theatre after watching my film? Did you feel stronger or weaker? That’s the main question. I want you to be stronger.” — guardian, 2024.

Tarr tempts me to open a roll of film… to modify my current table.. however, my self powered life demands I walk my path with sideward glances to others, many others.

There are several YTubes… this is one I saved —

Notes about topics, timings, temptations... daily, I ask myself the simple question of why. It is answered but remains, recurs daily. As if the question is more important than any answer… any found answer. So to the curious, I will be marking posts as PHO or NOPH in the “excerpt” sent out into the netiverse. Also, some remarks on remakes, etc will have an image something like:

War Decor

the uniform of the day is a costume … The fake department has a fake warrior uniform

… in days of old, before paycheck warriors .. uniforms came in strict flavors ;different duty ,different uniform . civilians were permitted to impersonate soldiers . soldiers were not permitted to impersonate civilians . and the flag during the 60s was a sign of the fork .. it was raised high by one side and used as a crotch guard or bra by the other ..

The Republiguns Pass a law about respecting the flag whether it could be worn .. The battle dragged into two camps the same two camps as before . now our esteemed sanctuary secretary of war wears a folded flag ,has a nose wipe in his pocket . May not even know why a dess jacket has that pocket …

from the past: [The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general. —ref-link

AND: [Military personnel are prohibited from wearing the flag as clothing while in uniform, as it violates military dress codes.

In Texas v. Johnson (1989) and United States v. Eichman (1990), the Supreme Court ruled that flag desecration, including wearing the flag as clothing, is protected under the First Amendment as symbolic speech]

DUH– dept of huh?
