It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

My first viral (internet) photo. I noticed the flowers sitting on the rock just left of center. I created this long exposure image, the wind ruffling the plastic around the flowers, hence the blur. 1/4

The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

My orange boy is perfect; he restores my soul
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of blue, I fear no evil, for orange is with me
His hiss and his slorp, they comfort me
He prepares a hairball before me in the presence of guests
My cup runneth over. Please take your paw out of my cup

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

In 2018, the Supreme Court in Carpenter v US ruled that cell site location data was too invasive to use without a warrant and now ALPR tech has reached that point. Being able to surveillance everyone's movements at any time with AI driven surveillance cameras is an affront to the right to privacy.

*Repugnant* is the perfect adjective for him. And I have my favorite noun for him; Parasite. He's a parasite on humanity. I've probably worn that sentence out, but I'm never going to think of him in any other way.
