Don't insult Dumbo! He has far more intelligence than Trump...and empathy, too!
Wishing you a GREAT Obama Appreciation Day! To the last GREAT American President we have had (sorry, Biden, you were good but not great). Obama is in my top five list of greatest Presidents of all time!
Glass-blowing vid from Milano, Venice, Italy. You should be able to see the pattern in the glass.
I disagree. I think the outfits from Star Trek the Motion Picture give that a good run.
Painting by Giorgione. This is actually the FIRST painting I've seen this trip that shows full frontal groin nudity of a woman. Kind of shocked, actually, because it's in the same general time period as the last few paintings.
Another of the Madonna and baby Jesus. Notice the guy wearing next to nothing? He's got a rock in his hand. This represents Saint Jerome, who used the rock to self-flagellate. Eww.
This pict shows Jesus with some supplicant. Notice the white supremacy here. The supplicant has ruddy, middle-eastern skin, while Jesus is white as a sheet.
Images from a school that nobles sent their kids to. The paintings are images from the plague. Great thing for kids to be looking at while learning.
At the Basilica S.Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice. This sculpture is a funerary monument. The guide tries to pass off the bottom sculptures as just humans carrying the weight of the world, but they ain't black for color, hon!
Thought I'd turn my mind away from politics and show some beautiful picts of the U of Washington spring cherry blossoms.
Funny. That's NOT what Senator Thune says...one of the five Senators on the floor that night.
This is Seattle in the middle of March. It doesn't snow like this in Seattle in the middle of March. If you don't accept the fact of Climate Change it's because you don't want to.
Meanwhile the federal government is cutting jobs and funding. So, where is that money going?? The deficit? Oh, THERE:
Nice turnout for #Standupforscience rally today! We escaped the rain. :)
The #StandUpForScience rally is ALMOST HERE! Follow the signs and get ready for an AWESOME rally around funding science, learning, and DEMOCRACY!
Apparently Senator Ron Johnson believes that "liberating the long suffering people of Iran" is worth ending American lives and starting an illegal war for.
Europeans famously had cities with people walking rather than cars centuries before the US. Why don't YOU ask them how difficult it is to widen streets like this for car traffic? media.cntraveler.com/photos/61238...
If you're younger than 50, you probably don't remember what large cities like LA looked like BEFORE we started changing the effects of the ozone hole and greenhouse gases. This is what we're headed back to. This orange look isn't fire smoke. It's SMOG! s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/im...
Trying to post while I'm at the SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS PARADE (called the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS)!! But can't seem to see anything. Anyway, pict of McDonald.
Naw. Start em at 8. They can work in Trump's coal mines! energyhistory.yale.edu/files/2023/0...
Watching the #Seahawks beat the 49'ers with my lucky Seahawks football and Seahawks sweatshirt my kids got for me!
My barista friends at my local Starbucks made me a "Happy Birthday" cup today! :D
Maybe. The screen is Mac. But the keyboard isn't. This is my MacBook Pro keyboard:
