I would just like to go on the record to say that, while I do not condone political violence, I am not going to shed tears over that piece of shit. To quote the man himself: "It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment".

My bet is that Stephen Miller has already written the lyrics.
Well, I was wondering when Trump would find his Horst Wessel. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
For the record, I did not say "bring back manufacturing" (or "being"). That is a common drum beat from the Trump regime, which I whole-heartedly oppose.
I just tidied up the site a little bit. The site displays my photographic work over the last 40 years, from my first efforts during my freshman year at NYU and up to today. The early images are analog, digital from about 2000. www.theguybehindthecamera.net Image: Pick-up truck near Pecos, TX, 1990
Yes, by all means, bring manufacturing back to America.
In fairness, he is from Tennessee.

I kind of wish Melania would just kick his ass.

Actually, I think this must be a pretty common phenomenon around the universe. It doesn't require water. Any liquid would do.

It's really just a shadow of a post. :-)
If you are in one of the drought areas, maybe put out a water bowl or two for some of the wild creatures who are struggling. I saw five dead voles at the side of the road today in different places. Apparently they have been driven from underground because of the dry conditions, searching for water.

It is very clear that Trump and his fascist minions are trying to destroy the Republic. Free and fair elections are a thing of the past. So now what do we do?

If the FBI thinks leaving the state of Texas is a crime, then Ted Cruz needs to be on death row.

That did make me laugh.

I am guessing that camera had a horizontal shutter.

Julia Degan in concert this evening in Vannes.
Yes, I figured that. :-)
Now THAT is a view from the bridge. The 59th Street Bridge, to be precise, of a foggy morning. www.theguybehindthecamera.net/nyc-fog?pgid...
Intriguingly, that photo is not a "view from a bridge". It is a view from the corner of Madison Avenue and 25th Street. Pretty far from any bridges.
Slight preference for BnW.
I believe that would be "Manche".
That is lovely. Location?

Is it me or does it look like someone said: "Hey, let's go for dystopian sci-fi for the wardrobe."?
To echo Governor Newsom, it is irrelevant whether a Senator is Republican or Democrat, all representatives should be calling out what happened to Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) Republicans are making a huge mistake if they think that they will be safe in the future because of their 'loyality' to Trump

Don't worry, I'm keeping a low profile. Also, I don't plan on getting as old as them.

Saw this sticker on a car in Montana.
I once had some delicious spotted dick in Blubberhouse.
Bat shit ain't in it.
I just wanted to add a sincere 'thank you' to everyone who liked this photo. Sometimes I wonder if my view of the world, the odd aesthetics of the everyday, is shared with anyone else, or if I'm the only who finds random shots of dilapidated shop fronts interesting. So, again, thank you.
Sadly, true.
This is one of those photos that I return to fairly regularly to see if I can tweak it a bit to make it better. When I went back to Arles last year and walked by here, I was saddened to see that they had stripped off the old store front and replaced it with something very depressing and modern.

You know what? They did vote for this. This was predictable. And it was predicted. So the arguments "This is not what I voted for" and "I did not know he intended to do this" just will not fly. Trump voters own this.
This is literally nauseating. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior. They are terrorizing and assaulting - essentially torturing - an unarmed, non-resistant person. They should all go to prison, although of course they won't, because cops.

This is double-plus ungood. I think the ICC should issue similar sanctions against the head of the crime syndicate known as the Trump Administration. - www.latimes.com/world-nation...
