Waiting for the semi-monthly relief checks at Calipatria, California

#calipatria #california #thegreatdepression #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017769790/
The image depicts three men seated on the ground beside a tree trunk. They appear to be in an outdoor, possibly rural setting with bare earth and small rocks visible around them. All three are wearing hats; two of whom have their feet propped up against what seems like a utility pole or large log. Their clothing is modest and worn-looking, suggesting practical work attire rather than leisurewear. The men's expressions are serious, and they seem to be in contemplation or waiting for something. The photograph has the distinct graininess characteristic of early 20th-century black-and-white film photography. There is handwritten text on the photo border which reads "Semi Monthly Relief Checks," indicating that these individuals may be among those receiving financial assistance from a relief program, possibly related to economic hardships such as unemployment or drought during the Great Depression era. The image captures a moment of quiet resilience and waiting in difficult times, reflecting broader social issues at play during that historical period.

Yeah, it came across as a grubby headline and then I read the article to check and all doubt was removed. Really cool way to frame these particular events! Glad I unsubscribed from that rag.
She described "whitish or clear fluid mixed with the blood" coming from her ear, which the officer noted could indicate serious head trauma. She said Robert had grabbed a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, "cocked it and placed it in his mouth". "Virginia stated that Robert tried to get her to pull the trigger several times," the officer wrote. Police removed the gun, ammunition and a knife from the home. Giuffre told officers she "feared for her safety and feared retribution upon [Robert's] release".

Mostly joking but semi-serious proposal that we invent "Reverse Lent Madness" and use it to vote people off the Episcopal calendar since are narrowly approaching "every day is a feast day!" territory...

There are apparently a few dozen more in the works to come to General Convention 2027...

After Bondi dropping the serious child rape and human trafficking case’s against Epstein in Florida with recommendations for a week end semi house arrest. How many times has her and the judge involved names been redacted from the files?

It’s be interesting to see what would happen if they had a semi-serious lefty/more aggressive challenger.

Collage from Instagram account "the_master__reborn_28," with Doctor Who images with headline text: "YOUR MONTH YOUR DOCTOR WHO CHARACTERS." Background is muted gray with large, faint, semi-transparent serif lettering layered behind main text. At top 3 images: on left, 11th Doctor, his back turned, wears long coat, stands in front a fiery orange distorted face; in center, TARDIS is surrounded by swirling blue smoke; on right, a close-up of a bow tie, a sonic screwdriver, and a pocket watch against patterned fabric. Middle row has 3 images: on left, TARDIS console room with glowing blue central column and metallic control panels; in center, bronze Dalek faces forward with word "EXTERMINATE"; on right, exterior of TARDIS with "POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX" signage. Below, row of images of 10th Doctor: on left, looks over his shoulder in glasses under cool lighting; in the center, looks upward wearing red-and-blue 3D glasses; on the right, stares forward with a serious, slightly intense expression, wearing a brown pinstripe suit. Large serif text across center reads "APRIL," with faint oversized background text reading "10TH DOCTOR" and "SARAH JANE." Bottom row shows 3 images of Sarah Jane Smith: on left, younger version sits on couch in casual clothes; in center, middle-aged version wears glasses, holds a newspaper; and on right, younger version sits on floor in a red-and-white outfit. A small watermark reading "@rosemanticised" appears in the lower right corner of some images.

Serious question, is this a (semi)regular thing? Just can't see it being viable at all for anyone below say Corey Feldman level.

The one proposal for making money from the moon that I regard as semi-serious is helium-3 mining, because it's the best fusion reactor fuel, is vanishingly rare in Earth's crust, and currently only produced from Tritium, which comes from fission reactors and is itself radioactive.

Happy Wormhole Waffles Wednesday! 🧇 Today we’re discussing the Stargate movie Ark of Truth! 🐦‍🔥 We wrap up the Ori story arc and the Replicators are back? 👾 Either way, it’s the end of an era 😭 At least we still have one more movie!

thegeekywaffle.com/home/2026/2/...
Teal’c, Daniel, Vala, and Tomin have just found the Ark in a very dusty pile of rubble in the ruins of a long-abandoned village. Daniel is the only one unbothered by the amount of dust which makes me wonder how many archaeologists have lung problems. Teal’c is actually semi reclined while everyone else is crouching. It would be interesting to learn how the props department decides what kinds of things should be mixed in with rubble. And do they have dust in a spray can? SG1 is posing for a pic in the gateroom, presumably while filming the last scene where they go through the gate one last time. Sam, Vala, and Daniel have a small smirk but Teal’c and Cam are serious. There’s a random airman on the left side and six people are visible in the control room behind them including Walter in the center. What a nostalgic end to a great TV show.

If you are even a semi serious republican congressperson, how do you not just grill the shit out of her? She’s making you look so terrible.

At first, I thought the semi got the Ameren guy across the street in his boom. I’m glad it wasn’t any worse than it was. Now I have to fix it before the rain or I’m gonna have serious flooding in the basement.

Ah homeownership.

🙏 dear Susan! I have to get back to the crazy sometime, so it might as well be today😊 Seriously, though, I am seeing less clients, with the goal being to semi-retire in 2027. My dad used to be a serious tarot card reader, and my sibs and I were his subjects. Glad you’re having fun with it!✨

Moved to a MI semi-tourist city in ‘24. Wife has some booth space in a nice downtown shop and biz traffic took a serious hit in ‘25 as our Canadian neighbors stopped popping over for Summer getaways.

Any and all joking aside, it's the most 1964 semi-serious Broadway musical starring Steve Lawrence you can possibly imagine, but it's kind of a kick to listen to it.

Considering I'm like three feet taller than Trazellie, most likely not. :D

But in a serious answer, I do give a lot of my quirks to Trazellie, as part of her being semi therapeutic for my trans identity.

Her being "autistic coded"... Yeah that's just me :D

For the players: If you paint/draw/sketch an image of your WoL, is that a self portrait? Why or why not? I swear there is a reason for this.

Raphinha is a serious doubt for Barcelona's Copa del Rey semi-final at Atletico Madrid due to a hamstring problem; De Jong is available.

Half (minimum) of Eddie Murphy's dialogue in Beverly Hills Cop was improvised. Up until right before filming it was intended as a semi-serious Sylvester Stallone vehicle!

See how John Ashton (from 0:55 onwards) can barely stop himself from cracking up in mid-take.
