"The horror! The horror!"

Thanks for introducing the term "ephebophilia" to the conversation. That is indeed the correct term.

That must be it.

TIL: "Dumbarton Oaks Park was given to the federal government in 1940 and is managed by the National Park Service as part of Rock Creek Park."

Is Dumbarton Oaks connected in some way to the Federal government?

I have a long list as well.

I wish "the White House" would stop using the word "indicia."

I was just about to ask if you are surviving the war OK. If you need me to send socks or bandages or whatever, let me know.

I'm expecting it to happen any se

That blurb is from MIdlibrary, which is a "carefully curated" site made by Midjourney users (see midlibrary.io/midlibrary/i... ). I've used Midjourney a lot, and from what I've seen, you don't need to worry about it successfully emulating your style any time soon.

Yes, that is definitely it. Thanks so much for finding it. I was getting very frustrated that I could not find it for myself. I can reveal now that the image I posted appears all over the Internet, but is wrongly identified as the Wieskirche.

My seen-in-person example would be St. John Nepomuk in Munich. i.pinimg.com/1200x/4b/b2/...

Let's hope that's what he was thinking of.

I was going to suggest this might be more extra, but I have not been able to identify it, even after searching for an hour. Does anyone recognize it?

I imagine it was intentional, which is what I think is weird, but Elon often misses the point of books and movies.

The base image is the scan of Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People" available on Wikimedia. I have cropped it and modified what the boy is holding, replacing guns with the powerful sandwich.
