Here's another local piece on Big Bend (and The Wall 🤬)

Yes, I'm exhausted. They want to exhaust us. But this doesn't (ever) end til they realize we won't give up on anything they try. Please help. #BigBend #Tezas

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

Just because...

Canada rightly condemns the Iran regime but then says it supports the US-led war in Iran, despite it violating international law, a topic on which PM Carney is silent.

Is abandoning international law what Carney meant by principled realism in his Davos speech?

There used to be fun, creative graffiti underneath the new bridge...and the Proud Boys bullshit got painted over quickly in the past.

A view from the wooden deck on the Old Alton Bridge. (A red metal bridge covered in graffiti.) Some trees and a mostly blue sky.

A LOM Geofón contact microphone and a Metal Marshmallow contact mic attached to the bridge. The Elm Fork of the Trinity River is seen below.

A Zoom F3 recorder, a battery pack, and a backpack on the wooden deck of the bridge. (The wood is covered in blue and tan graffiti in this image.)

A Zoom F3 recorder and battery pack. A Metal Marshmallow contact mic is attached to the wood deck of the bridge, and the LOM Geofón has the spike attachment and is wedged between boards on the deck.

Needed some metal sounds from a bridge, so...opted for the Old Alton Bridge.

"We have to side with our country during wartime!"

Actually no, we don't. That's just government imperialist propaganda.

You might want to stop reading the news and watch this puppy.

I’m very upset, but I’ve got nothing of substance to contribute to the conversation on this platform. When you see me posting through it about random stuff, don’t confuse it for apathy.

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

They're perfect!

I love that for her... my mother never got to place where she approved of my wild leggings. So much joy escaped her...

Want!!!!

Worth noting that Japan using peace talks with Washington as cover for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the reasons we were so fucking furious at them on December 8, 1941.

It's WHY FDR called it a Day of Infamy

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

The comfortable ones.

Standing on a rock with green river-like swirly colors behind. The drawing is framed by a simple line, and under the frame lettering reads, 'Maybe it will happen today'.

let’s stop calling each new outrage a “distraction” from the last outrage and instead call it what it is: a vast ongoing machine of death, kidnapping, graft, abuse, and larceny built to operate on many fronts simultaneously at home and abroad for the benefit of the wannabe god-emperor and his toads

this is excellent advice that i wish i’d seen before i got up to take a leak

I see that dishonor is today's word.

Nice!
Adding a few grams of diastic malt to my hoagie rolls improved them dramatically, if you're looking for a way to tweak them.

Go enjoy the unusually warm Last Day of February, and say hi to the Goatman if he shows up

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Ooh, I didn't know the Fishbone song!
I'm hearing Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero" which is also highly inappropriate...
