La Gare Saint-Lazare, arrivée d'un train , by Claude Monet (1877) My favorite color has changed throughout my life, cycling through the entire spectrum of visible light and beyond. I don’t remember when blue was the chosen one, exactly; maybe when I was 13 or so. After that, yellow, purple, orange, green, and pink occupied the top spot for various periods. Blue never made a comeback. I saw it as a banal, common color. After all, the sky is made of it, and the sky is everywhere. Then I realized

Venezuela Claims Trump’s Video of Strike Against Suspected Drug Smugglers Is AI
