This is a straightforward composition showing the front of the Smithsonian Castle, which is not actually a castle, and, despite being part of the Smithsonian, not actually a museum, either (it houses mostly offices and a small visitor center). It sits on the National Mall, which, despite the name, is not a shopping center. Lies and deceit everywhere in DC!

If anyone is still in Sofia today, feel free to ping me! I’m going on a run, then trying to find something nice to bring back for my wife, then likely trying to get some work done at a café or something. Would be up for lunch or dinner! #RealWorldCrypto

Seeing Serious People talk about Serious Issues while past-tensing Covid is like playing two truths and a lie.

It's impossible to trust people to deal with issues while they aggressively ignore how repeated, compounded, unimpeded Covid infections have a negative impact on literally all of the issues on this planet.
