Trump’s desire to “go big” with the project has put him at odds with architect James McCrery II, the people said, who has counseled restraint over concerns the planned 90,000-square-foot! addition could dwarf the 55,000-square-foot mansion in violation of a general architectural rule: don’t build an addition that overshadows the main building [especially that main building ffs].

#Greed & #gluttony

#Trump wants a bigger White House #ballroom. His architect disagrees.

Trump has personally argued with James McCrery, the architect he handpicked to design a #WhiteHouse ballroom, over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms & Trump’s “grandiose” [#tacky AF] aesthetic, acc/to 4 people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal conversations.

The Bible never calls obesity a sin, but it fiercely condemns gluttony as idolatry of the stomach (Phil 3:19, Prov 23:20-21). Your body is God’s temple. New 1000-word post unpacks every key verse on overeating & self-control: #Gluttony #Obesity

A quotation from Horace

The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.
 
[Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1, l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

Look at this Reuters headline :
"BP vows to do better for investors as profit tops forecast
· August 5, 2025 ·

BP will review its portfolio of assets and consider more cost cuts as part of a drive to do better for shareholders, the oil major said on Tuesday, as it reported a second-quarter profit that easily beat expectations."

'more cost cuts' ~ wonder who or what will pay for them? (answer: it's all grist to the mill)

#Gluttony / 5th #chakra: To #consume = to take into the throat. Many say, "I may be a #shopaholic but I don't #overeat." But to *consume* is to take in: advertising messages & flesh of the #earth: trees, animals, minerals, waters, fossil fuels & more in the products we buy.

RCC says #gluttony = excessive eating; Matthew Fox applies it also to excessive consumerism: taking in too much to anesthetize oneself. Obv. food & sex (gluttony & lust) but news, movies, relationships, etc.: we consume, devour, burn up, ingest, squander, & spend & spend & spend. https://dailymeditationswithmatthewfox.org/2025/05/20/gluttony-and-consumerism-vs-speaking-truth/

@DJDarren My wife's current fave tune. The title is "Eat Eat Eat", the artist is Sandy Yanisa. Lyrics are something like "Forget all the bitterness, let sweets heal everything / Yummy Yummy Yummy ah ah ah Eat Eat Eat Eat / Creamy Creamy Creamy Cream Eat Eat Eat Eat" Bon appetit! ;-) #ThePlaylistSuggestion #Gluttony #Thailand #ThaiPop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6wxOa-rJis

Just enjoyed a very tasty afternoon tea at our hotel. And any second now, they're going to bring out the free bubbles 🥂🍾 so I'm not going anywhere in a hurry.

With some intrinsic flaws in dictators you can do whatever you want with the same outcome: unreasonable aggression and even self-harm. [sic #trump & #putin ]

There wasn't nor isn't anything that will prevent their aggression against democratic institutions since they view them as threat to their power.

Well, I've greedily stuffed my face with 3 paczki and I am stuffed. Of course, there are still more and I really shouldn't...or should I?...no...but...maybe?
