#Trump has rapidly progressing #dementia

It got noticeably worse every month during the campaign.

It was not magically cured on Election Night.

Trump will produce increasingly batshίτ word salad going forward.

His blather about Canada, Greenland and the Gulf of Mexico is this week’s version of “They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats.”

It is not 9-Dimensional Chess. Please stop treating it as if it were.

The 'Radish Boiling Festival' (大根焚 'Daikon-daki') is particularly popular with older people.
Many take the time to pray to a statue of 'Bokefuji Kannon' (ぼけ封じ観音), a bodhisattva believed to protect against senility.

These photos show the statue of Bokefuji Kannon at Imakumano Kannon-ji (今熊野観音寺).

Small statues left as offerings, prayers that those leaving the gift will be protected from senility, dementia and other diseases commonly found in old age.

There is a belief that eating kabocha (カボチャ) at the winter solstice helps fortify the body against dementia and palsy, and so it's common to find temples selling protective amulets in the shape of squashes.

Squashes and other 'lucky' foods are consumed around the winter solstice to help fortify the body for the cold months ahead.

A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
