we now know the fbi is riddled with incompetent partisan hacks.u've heard ant lot about our failing institutions on this program. we now know the fbi is riddled with incompetent partisan hacks. the intelligence community seems to exist mostly to spy on you, and leak information about politicians it dislikes. e your state and local governments are full of bureaucrats who are paid more to deliver less every year. and then retire with a fat pension in their 50s. academia, meanwhile, is apparently dominated by lazy mediocrity at this more interested in political activism than teaching. there is a lot of rot in our halls of power but our federal courts may be the most decayed institution of all. though they receive very little attention. under the last two administrations, the courts increasingly have come to see themselves not as interpreters of the law, their constitutional role, but as the country's main policymakers. consider for example what's been happening with daca. now as a factual matter, it is indisputable that any president has the authorit

drawings that are fooling our senses and then a few seconds of time lapse video solve the riddle of the optical illusions. the works of british artist howard lee are showing us the limitations of our perception . of what makes a video great is the moment at which it becomes something you didn't expect it to be so whether it's that you were looking at a drawing and you didn't realize it was a drawing or whether you were looking at a drawing that then started moving and becomes an animation and mixes with reality it's the single point at which something unexpected happens fat's the sort of magic moment and that's for me what really makes it the drawing is only the beginning of lee's work he films the hours long creative process of drawing the actual artwork is the finished video. the thirty three year old prefers to exhibit his works on the internet. it's not elitist in any way it doesn't require somebody to endorse it or to put money behind it it doesn't matter how old you are or how experienced you are how qualified you are anybody can draw video painting an artwork or video creation or
