Two men talking at the railroad tracks in Rayondville, Texas. My impression is that the man on the left is a laborer and the man on the right needs labor of some kind. Russell Lee took other photos of this scene and it's pretty apparent that it was a gathering site for day laborers.

Seeing lots of posts about Stranger Things and reminded me that a crucial skill to have is to be able to bail on any show or movie or book or whatever that even seems like it has the potential to fucking suck. Nope. Dump it. Not my problem.

We haven't traveled this year due to one thing or another, Trump's shutdown and ensuing ATC madness being the main culprit. I sure do miss it. 😎 #travel #Zurich

More federal tear gas in the Chicago area. Homeland Security isn’t keeping us safe. It’s terrorizing us on the orders of a criminal president.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained. His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing. He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

The Texas Quote of the Day: "Calves are just heavy puppies." ---- one old farmer reacts to another old farmer telling him that his newborn calf is a happy, affectionate calf, as overheard at Steglich Feed & Farm Supply in Bartlett, Texas. I like it. I've known a few that meet that description.

The heavily damaged Russian shadow fleet tanker „Kairos“, which was attacked by Ukrainian naval drones few days ago, was pulled away by Turkish vessel. It later ran aground in Bulgarian waters and was abandoned by the crew.

You mean Lake NATO?

Even back in 1999, Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon had as one of its central themes the creation of a digital, untraceable currency. Terrific book, too.

On MSNOW today I called out religious fundamentalist GOP Speaker Mike Johnson who has been accused by GOP women of being sexist--at same time Johnson is banning coverage for IVF by US Military for service members because it's against his religion. As I noted: This is what "sharia" law looks like!

In Los Angeles, California, a man’s father was abducted and kidnapped by ICE. While attempting to locate him using a GPS tracker in his car, they discovered that his stolen truck was being driven around by an ICE Bounty Hunter during his off-duty period from December 2nd to December 3rd.

Everyone responsible for this crime against humanity must be prosecuted.
