It's not FU money these billionaires lack, it's an FU spine.
Facts tend to do that the last 10 years or so
Cherry Pecan Sourdough from this past weekend. It was my first attempt at a fruited sourdough loaf and it came out pretty good. #photography #food #FoodOnFriday #EastCoastKin #sourdough #bread
I think their coffee tastes burnt. I do fine brewing my own at home with their beans. If I do have to get coffee out, I'll get an Americano, it seems much better than their normal "coffee".
No respect is due to mitch
Education, in theory, would be the vaccination for stupidity, but so few seem willing to give it a try. The knowledge might hurt.

If they wear masks and refuse to identify themselves Chicago PD and Illinois National Guard should shoot them claiming they're terrorists/kidnappers in the midst of a terrorist operation.
shit, I'll do em dashes for "likes" two ems for an actual comment!
Lovely composition that's really complimented by the warm tones
Where do these people come from???
Just the idea that there’s still “common” ground with these people show you how lost the old dem leadership is

Dems need to be a lot younger than Sherrod Brown...at the very least 20 years younger.

I like it. The warm to cool transition works really well with the lines of motion.

enough? Enough?? ENOUGH??? USA did NOTHING to prevent this... and that nothing started years ago with ignoring if not condoning the outrageous behavior of the "settlers"

Co-worker put his lunch in for 30 vice 3, and walked away, I came across it at about the 10 minute mark

My granddaughter likes KPop Demon Hunters AND cake pops...I don't hear so well so I can never tell which she is referring too!
you're fighting nazis masquerading as Jews... what do you expect???
Don't forget the other side...start with: Merrick Garland
I like the mixture of warm and cool tones
I love when I get a good photo of a metallic looking fly or sweat bee.

The background on my computer is my photo of an echinacea with a Praying Mantis just about the size of one spike in the flower's cone. I had no idea when I took the photo.

It's like choking someone until they die...but then you let go...the person is still dead. By the time the grants get restored, it will be too late.

USA dream of democracy is dying due to multiple organ failure; the executive branch, the courts (especially SCOTUS), the House & Senate, the state & local governments, the media, the corporations, educational institutions, and yes...the voters all have a hand in it's murder.
I would bet that people with any sort of tan will still be charged with felonies

You can bet this "invitation" does not extend to people with any sort of tan.

My wish (prayer, since I'm talking to You) is that the European leaders perform an intervention to save the USA (and Ukraine)
I'm in my sixties and I still remember my Lake Michigan fishing trip at about that age for salmon and lake trout.
In all the cities trump rants about, the crime in trump's mind is that the city has a democratic black mayor & a large minority population.
I'm hoping (for what that's worth) that the European leaders are here to perform an intervention to save the USA (and Ukraine)
They don't seem to understand that. On a whim, a company, property, whatever can be seized or ... Without rule of law, how much is any company worth? The dictator of the moment can just take them, and your company/stocks become worthless.

That guy is an idiot... He skipped Arendt, probably most pertinent to current times (maybe because she's a woman???)

Just wait until they disappear a diplomat...
No real path in the area I was at, people just wandered around pretty near the parking lots (see ALT) Photo was taken right by the Bonneville Salt Flats Raceway, there's a parking lot at the one end, Camera was a Canon 6D & EXIF on the photo has the GPS at: 40°45'46.71" N 113°53'44.952" W
It is on fire, they set it on fire and are burning it to the ground
Thanks

I love the painterly bokeh of the background
They're over 8 years into it, I doubt they can stop the habit now
Guatemalan Textiles Panajachel, Guatemala ~2004 From my film days, prior to getting my first DLSR a Canon 5D. #SensoryArt #CopyPaste #photography #travel #Guatemala #EastCoastKin The first time I've posted two photography posts in a day since joining BlueSky. I will try to resist in the future.

I continue to believe they're picking and choosing about what they like best from the Nazis, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot
Senator, Tell me you're innumerate without saying so, that you don't understand statistics without saying so, that you don't understand risk without saying so. The only thing you've said is that you're an idiot.
As a photographer, by the number of times I get asked about film photography, specific films, processes, cameras etc. I'd say it's a niche, much like vinyl LP's are now. I don't know if the market for film is large enough to support a lot of film manufacturers though.
I tried a wide range of shutter speeds, slower to get a more "silky" look took too much detail out of the rocks, faster ended up with the water looking "chunky". This is 1/10 sec - f/16, ISO100, 400mm (Canon 70-200 2.8L IS with a 2x extender)

It's more than just "black, it's people that don't look like him, sound like him, dress like him, think like him. He must be a boring and uninteresting person.

Sorry about that, I realized it about an hour or two after I posted, I meant for only the first one, so that is fine.

Love that view, I have a similar photo as we stayed in one of those in the row along the harbor back in 2016
Keeping in mind that the next generation would still have HUGE advantages growing up such as better education etc that their parent's money will buy them.
My innovative idea: Tax all income as income, no matter from where it comes, dividends, capital gains etc. Subject it all to FICA taxes. The idea that only "wages" are income is ridiculous. And 90% inheritance tax, after all it's "meritocracy" so force each generation to stand on it's own two feet.
In short, don't invest in what you don't understand and I no longer understand the stock market.
If the rule of law is dead (it is) & if property/individual rights are dead (they are) then company's stocks are worthless. The authoritarian/totalitarian govt can just claim it as their own on a moments notice with the "owners" (stock holders) having no recourse...

It's funny because it's true on two levels.., Yes his head would explode... And yes he was pretend rich at the time.
I'm thinking teddy boy cruz (aka Rafael Edward Cruz ) has given up his position as senator quite a few times... What's the problem? is there no one else available that is compliant and submissive enough to represent the "great" state of texas?
