What is happening in Europe is happening here. Increasingly desperate peoples are migrating north, away from the Equator to climes more suitable to subsistence farming.

Ask yourself why both parties voted against appointing an auditor to track Ukraine weapons and monies. Greed is the operative descriptor. The US government doesn't care about its citizens. Consider the hundreds of billions going to Ukraine and the total lack of support for the people of Maui. No, we have a government by and for the multinational corporations, oligarchs, and globalists. Is there a way out of this conundrum? I don't see it. I hope you can offer some possible solutions in the comments below.
Album of the Week 9-9-23
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 09/09/2023 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
I've got a couple of live blues albums for you this week, one from BB King and one (a UK import) from Albert Collins and there's a Buddy Guy album to keep you hummin' for the rest of the weekend. Following that there's a big bunch of blues rock, albums by Rory Gallagher, Harvey Mandel (guitarist for Canned Heat), slide wizard David Lindley and a live album from Mountain. Finishing it all off is an album from Spirit.
Enjoy!
The smoking gun
Submitted by snoopydawg on Sat, 09/09/2023 - 12:41pmOn August 17th, after more than a year of painful litigation, the South African high court forced its government to release the original 2021 jab contracts. So the public can now view the full scope of maladroit, malignant, and mendacious government misfeasance in a fully-disclosed, unredacted Pfizer “Manufacturing and Supply” agreements.

Morning. Farm is keeping me busy and distracted. Harvesting and processing the various fruits, herbs and vegetables has been taking up all spare time the last few weeks. Unusually successful season.
Friday Night Photos Bayfront Edition
Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 09/08/2023 - 5:00pmHappy Friday everyone. I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.
The lesser of two evils? This week I had a colonoscopy. Next week I have jury duty. Neither one is at the top of my "fun things to do" list. Oh well. At least the weather has been great and for one day this week I can honestly say I wasn't completely full of shit.
It's been a few years since I've done any night time photography so last week on Wednesday evening I went to Coronado Island to photograph the San Diego bayfront and skyline at sunset and the rising of the super blue moon. It was a beautiful evening with clear skies, no wind, and temp in the mid 70s.
