Amazing what we can accomplish if we quit letting rich people avoid any and all social responsibilities. Think about this next time one of them whines about how unfair life is to them. Personally, I think extreme wealth is indicative of a mental disease.

Just amazing work. I mean it’s a woodblock print. That’s some substantial work.

This video image… these guys just look… rotten. Like full of maggots or something.

I would hate to be the paper pusher that has to work with these morons. Hegseth is in no way qualified for the job… and thre is no way I can see trump getting rid of him… because trump digs ”manly men” like hegseth pretends to be.

The IPCC says we must cut emissions 43% by 2030. The biggest 20 fossil fuel companies are increasing production 23% by 2030. Math doesn’t lie: their growth = our collective death warrant. Time’s almost up. Their greed is just getting started.

That anyone would even think this is news worth covering is ridiculous. Focus on how many wars he has started and how many problems he has caused. He has stopped or avoided exactly zero. He creates new problems daily.

Pretty sure she has access to many of those files and there is a law stating she should have access to all of them, un-redacted. I’m not sure what’s she waiting for?

This is insane though. Unless things were unusually cool when I was a kid, we didn’t get that many 80 degree days, and never this early. Maybe during Seafare or just a little before.

The sculptures really add to the vibe. Things have definitely changed since I was there last.

“The Reflecting Pools in Washington, D.C. were designed for one purpose: reflection. They are supposed to mirror the beauty, dignity, and symbolism of the monuments around them. They were never intended to look like a chlorinated Olympic swimming pool where you can count pennies on the bottom.”

The deficit has increased at all… that we know of. Do they even keep an eye on things like this? I mean was the debt king… and since he is now spending the money we saved for healthcare and things like that on himself as the US king (thanks John Roberts)...

Vote for something, not against something. Granted, we have to have something to vote for… which has been a tall order for awhile and led us to this point.

Christ on a cracker, people take this stuff and themselves way too seriously. We are in a world of shite, in a failed democracy, with complete & utterly crooked morons ruling over us with no real checks, and a ridiculously weak and uncommitted opposition party, and this is his conclusion? 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know, Man. The morons destroyed everything that kept morons from destroying everything right out of the gate this time, and have been randomly breaking stuff and stealing since. The Ds have been about as useful as a glass hammer on this one, and only a few judges seem to have held out…

Let this radicalize you

Tell me this guy doesn’t look like a completely entitled git who proudly and unironically proclaims baristas are “just making coffee” and don’t deserve to enjoy a decent wage. I don’t know that he has done that… but boy, he sure looks like the kind of guy who would.

One of Diva Dog’s earlier shots when she was just getting her start as a professional dog model.

Teddy Roosevelt brought the wealthy oligarchs of the Gilded Age to heel. A generation later, his cousin, Franklin created the modern middle class. That was when America became great, and it will not be great again until we get leaders who can bobble our oligarchs and resurrect our middle class.

We have a racist, biased, lawless, corrupt, pernicious court, an absent, corrupt, compromised, out of touch legislature, and a corrupt, pathological narcissist, Russian asset president— each abusing their power and violating their Constitutional duties. What could go wrong?

Honestly, the politicians got their behind-the-scenes cash, they got to posture and pose, and they got to be cruel to brown people, which plays well in politics theater… They accomplished their goals.

He has made Americans vulnerable to outbreaks of viruses.

And thieves. Those things kind of go hand-in-hand.

And if you think that any of our lawmakers put her pain and misery over protecting themselves and their colleagues… whelp… I got news for ya’. The prime directive is to protect the grift, no matter how much they claim otherwise and showboat. And I think you know it’s true.

It has corrupt politicians, political lackeys, and rich goons; ”AI” data centers; and weird tech bros. I’m really wondering why they need these massive data centers everywhere, and how they plan to hold them when we realize what is going on and we decide we are tired of being screwed by dumbasses.

I think a US president stating intent to murder American citizens is an impeachable offense but what do I know

coachella deserves to be yeeted into the sun for this

What else is there? 🤷‍♂️🤣

This is true. I understand the frustration. I agree those responsible should face consequences. 100%. Reality is, we all know that these rich and powerful assholes raped children. We have known it for years. The information, including pictures is out there. And so are the perps… walking free.

Cute little bugger.

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

The funny part is, the ones responsible know we aren’t good at cause and effect or understanding value. Yes, we pay way more for way fewer, if any services. That’s by design. The guys responsible and their bought and paid for legislators and “Very Important People” laugh all the way to the bank.

Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone Cut your engines and cool your wings And let me make it to the telephone Los Angeles, give me Norfolk, Virginia Tidewater four-ten-o-nine Tell the folks back home, this is the promised land calling And the poor boy is on the line

Stuff like this. It’s very important. It’s also, sadly, something many people don’t prioritize. We should all find even a few minutes to stop, relax, and look at the world around us. At least that’s what I believe.

Book I really need to read. Recommended by Communication Arts… which for some reason really sweetens the deal for me.

PERFECTION!!!!! Absolute perfection!!!!

Trump’s DHS just bulldozed a 1,000-year-old Native American archaeological site in Arizona to build more border wall! In an act of breathtaking disrespect, the Department of Homeland Security destroyed a rare, massive ground carving known as an intaglio – theintercept.com/2026/04/30/a...

Every person living on our streets is somebody’s loved one. On Wilshire, our Inside Safe team helped Angelenos come inside and begin the next chapter toward stability and permanent housing.

Morning layers in Slovenia

A rover just getting broke in.

In another time's forgotten space Your eyes looked from your mother's face Wildflower seed on the sand and stone May the four winds blow you safely home In Franklin's tower there hangs a bell It can ring, turn night to day It can ring like fire when you lose your way

It’s impossible to take a bad picture of the Diva Dog.

And now...Your nightly moment of Joan. #JoanJett

25 years ago today Douglas Noel Adams passed away in Santa Barbara California. On every May 11th since Jess and I have gone to the pub at noon and ordered six pints in remembrance. We're getting ready to head out again this morning. Peanuts for salt and protein. We know where our towels are.
