Enabling War While Talking Peace

open thread.jpg

This season's political kabuki theater is a farce. If peace was the goal, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza would be over. Simply stop giving them arms and intel...it is that simple. But that doesn't play well to those eager for political intrigue. So war continues, death continues, and profit accrues. Follow the money to understand US aggression. More below the fold...

Album of the Week 6-7-25

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 06/07/2025 - 3:00pm

Afternoon folks!

Well, it's a deceptively small haul this week. First we've got an album from blues harmonica player Junior Parker, followed by the first part of a 2 part Howlin' Wolf compilation, which is so large it took a few days to upload. It's worth checking out, it's not a greatest hits compilation and features stuff that you don't hear often. Finishing up in the diversity department is a nice album from Tom Ball & Kenny Sultan.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Welcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily insanity of the crazy world we live in. Please post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.

Some more shots from my visit to the San Diego Botanical Garden last month.

Open Thread - 05-06-25 - The Days of Our Lives

Submitted by JtC on Fri, 06/06/2025 - 6:00am

“Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.”

Oh, no, I never watched that show back in the day. But I saw enough of it on my mom's and grandmother's TVs to know what it was about. Kind of.

Enough to know melodrama when I see it.

Imagine, if you will, the man with the largest ego and the man with the deepest pockets, joining together to save mankind from itself. And then breaking up. And then joining together again, maybe. All with the ebb and flow of a back alley cat fight. Slugging it out to do what's best. For you.

What a duo.

What a tag team.

Did I forget to mention that they are the two largest trolls in the world? Trolling from different angles, with the goal the same. The Big Bucks.

How do you think they got to where they are in the first place?
