a liar, especially a person who invents elaborate, dishonest stories.”a born fabulist, with an imagination unfettered by the laws of logic and probability”
black hole, cosmic body of extremely intense gravity from which nothing, not even light, can escape. A black hole can be formed by the death of a massive star. When such a star has exhausted the internal thermonuclear fuels in its core at the end of its life, the core becomes unstable and gravitationally collapses inward upon itself, and the star’s outer layers are blown away. The crushing weight of constituent matter falling in from all sides compresses the dying star to a point of zero volume and infinite density called the singularity.
Oh by the way …looks like many powerful lawmakers in the US of America have decided to use the black hole as an inspiration and model for future direction and governance …pity!
Court Painter , ever the optimist, demonstrates Eleanor Roosevelt’s phrase,“It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are elongated strands of horizontal water vapor transport, accounting for over 90% of the poleward water vapor transport across midlatitudes. These “rivers in the sky” have important implications for extreme precipitation when they make landfall. They are a major cause of extreme precipitation events that cause severe flooding in many mid-latitude, westerly coastal regions of the world, including the West Coast of North America,Western Europe, the west coast of North Africa , the Iberian Peninsula, Iran and New Zealand. Equally, the absence of atmospheric rivers has been linked with the occurrence of droughts in several parts of the world including South Africa, Spain and Portugal.

Court Painter and his trusty Press Attache A Hardon MacKay polled politicians, journalists, pundits, political strategists, pollsters, lobbyists , partisans, academics, policy wonks ,content creators, creatives, grifters and anti matter experts; for their 2023 predictions .
All participants were offered the choice of a crystal ball or an 8 Ball to aid in their process of predictive pundit prognosis.
As much as this helped to expose the prescience of a few of those who responded some chose to spread misinformation, disinformation, harassment , general nastiness and private mockery including snap judgments, hot takes, outrage, condemnation, doomsaying and disagreement sprinkled with a few real good guesses on the Leafs chances in 2023.
Court Painter predicted he would not conduct this exercise again in future in that it elevates the most extreme predictions, offers ample opportunity for bad-faith actors ,short sighted public officials, non visionary’s of all types and is a terrible proxy for measuring the veracity of predictability in the public square , on private land or out on the 7 Seas.

“I have never seen so much hurt and so much pain and suffering in our population during my nearly two decades in politics,” he said.

He went on to say how much the painting class allowed him as a political leader to express his inner antagonisms and turn hurt into hope!
