Crystal Pier shortly after sunset at Pacific Beach in San Diego, California

#sandiego #sdca #pacificbeach #beach #surfing #sunset #sunsetchasers #ocean #crystalpier #landscapes_lovers #photography
A long wooden pier called Crystal Pier, located at Pacific Beach in San Diego, California, stretches from left to right just after sunset, and is outlined with warm string lights. The pier’s dark supports reflect clearly in smooth, wet sand, while the sky fades from deep blue overhead to a band of gold along the horizon.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
nicholasgrossman.bsky.social Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3d
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
nateraymond.bsky.social Nate Raymond @nateraymond.bsky.social · 3d
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

The FBI Director lied to Congress by stating there were no co-conspirators working with Epstein to sex-traffic little girls. In the latest drop of Epstein files, the FBI states there were 10 co-conspirators. One of them could very well have been Trump it looks like. Trump's BFF was Epstein FFS!!

And so I must bear to you a heart of stone.. 🖤
Image of a holding beach worn lump of igneous rock (andesite) which is shaped like a heart. The rock is weathered to a brownish-very dark red colour and contains holes (vesicles) that have been infilled with pale coloured calcite and quartz (amygdales). The background is an out of focus rocky pebbly beach on the Berwickshire coast. Caption is lyrics from deadspace “heart of stone”.

“Someone tried to slip some news into this past Sunday’s episode of ‘60 Minutes,’” a visibly angry Weiss told the CBS newsroom. “Fortunately, I was able to catch it in time.”

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

This year I've also been trying out more radical editing of #architecture pix. This is from the City of London.

I get Anthropic to provide an alt-text. Today it's in the style of a #haynesinstructionmanual
