The first I ever used was an Apple IIe. I felt part of an exclusive club back in high school. Ever since then, it’s the only OS I’ve ever wanted to be a part of.
The beginning of what we could never have comprehended. Yet he did.
I always asked, “You think he had any idea it would lead to this? Was this his plan all along?” We all agreed that not only did he know, but his plan was always many steps ahead. We still aren’t at the end of what he would do.
When the iPad came long, I thought, “THIS is what he was working towards,” but no. I don’t think we are near what he really knew he/we could do. Every innovation and invention has only been the means to a never-ending plan.
how about semi-religious? old guy in the brown coat is my grandfather. motorcade was so fast that he could either see the Pope or take a picture. when Pope arrived, Instamatic blocked his view. he didn't press button. months later we find this pic of them in a book. it's a miracle in our family
That pope covered up pedophiles in church, condemned thousands to fascist juntas in Latin America and millions to AIDS in Africa. His last dream was to be buddies with Putin.
Even his countrymen call him Beast
That Pope is a Saint who held the Church together and reformed it through the most tumultuous time it had since Vatican II in addition to authorizing the Catechism, which helped bring millions, including myself, into Christ's Church. St. John Paul II, pray for us.
I think i remember that. Wasn't this around the time he got shot at? I may have the wrong pope in mind, but they eventually put him in a bullet proof bubble for appearances like this.
The leader of an organization of pedophiles, child abusers, grifters that do not protect, but continue to and wealth and art that does not help the poor.
Have you guys been to the Woody Guthrie Center & museum in Tulsa?
For many of us, it’s worth the journey.
AND on the same block as the Bob Dylan Center 💙💙
Woody made his way for a while as a "snapper" signpainter moving from town to town.
Going by the lettering of his axe, he needed to get paid and out of town before the paint dried.
Great message, terrible lettering by any standard.
Here’s what you could have won America.
Literally a self made woman, the epitome of the American dream - and the guy next door whom your kids love when he babysits.
All the stuff about rejecting elites and then voting for the billionaires was just bullshit.
Then they took out their revenge by raping and torturing every German woman they could get their hands on. Let’s also not forget their complicity in the invasion and slaughter of Poland that kicked off WW II. Nor their occupation and enslavement of Eastern Europe after the war.
How many people were killed by bolshevics? More than by fashists. Both is evil. Stalin and Hitler knew it. You know it. Idiots dont understand it. Period. And btw - fuck Russia!
"Free-world": the same that aftee WWII recruited Nazis for the NASA and NATO and supported coups and fascists regimes all-around the globe until today. Ah, of course, and a genocide in Palestine by the theocratic and fascist regime of Israhell.
Is not obvious how cynical are your moral standards?
Yes *free*, as in my government did not have to shoot people in the back to keep them from leaving the country. Wherever your boys wit the red flags showed up though, that’s exactly what happened.
The Iron Curtain was not for decoration.
Black Lives Matter protest in Baton Rouge, LA after the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in 2016. #saytheirnames Officers arrived in riot gear. The protestor in a sundress, Ieshia Evans, is being arrested. The striking juxtaposition was captured by Jonathan Bachman, Reuters.
This is the mural commemorating the Battle Cable Street, in the East End of London. When a fascist march was prevented from marching through a Jewish neighbourhood.
I tweeted a photo of her grandpa hung from a lamp post on the anniversary of her grandpa's death with the greeting "Happy Anniversary". My proudest block on Twitter.
Oh nice, you came over!! So glad you’re here. Although, there’s substantially less people here requiring advisal of the status of their mothers’ sexual proclivities 😂
Townes was incredible...when I was in college at Peabody, across the street from Vanderbilt, occasionally I would come back to the dorm and out on the porch would be Townes and Guy Clark playing music with one or two of the guys from the art department or music department. He was great, we miss him
Fun anecdote: In my bioinorganic chem class in grad school, prof referenced the 3° structure of DNA as "attributed to Watson and Crick, but was actually discovered by a woman crystallographer who now gets the credit she deserves."
My worst regret from grad school is not asking him what her name was.
And as we later learned, Watson turned out to be a racist arsehole. He was suspended from Cold Spring Harbor after he claimed that black people were not as intelligent as whites. has a long history of provocation with racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, and even fat-shaming remarks. ..
I love The Weavers. I was shocked and happy that Ronnie did musical theatre here in Vancouver. I didn't know who she was back then. What a treat that must have been!
There’s some evidence to suggest that a nearby supernova may have destroyed this nebula, but it being 6000ly away we wouldn’t see the difference for another thousand years. Soooo
Of course god exists. As an idea, one that has long shaped the history and events of the world we live in, at that. He's not real, but we've created him, and so he exists
I won't get into semantics right now but I will say that it was definitely a mistake due to the fact that more people have been killed in the name of a god than all other reasons combined.
Wait, you don't believe in my god? I guess you must die.
In the desert, you cover cactus tops in your yard to protect them from nighttime frost damage. Someone put a hat on their cactus, and it just made me stop to think about nature a little bit more. I also thought of that hippie Muppet.🤣 -E
He’s standing on my IKEA couch under a smart bulb in a satellite shaped paper lantern on extra shocking pink for the mood. Elliott Mess is my Goffins cockatoo.
He and Jimmy Page walked past me on a street in NYC about 30 years ago. I was pushing my baby in a stroller and she was babbling and being cute, and they smiled at her and at me. I recognized them a few seconds later, turned around in shock and they'd turned around and were grinning at me!
Not troubadours BUT Tom Morello does do solo work that could almost be considered as such. For some reason though, I just can't get into his solo work. Something about his delivery just doesn't work for me but I still love him and his activism and artistry.
I never really utilized the twit-space but I am all for this app and kind of welcome the trolls, to a degree, IF it leads to the demise of anything Musk-y. I say "welcome" now but they can be exhausting so we shall see for how long I hold that sentiment
not nearly as popular as those folks, but willi carlisle is an outspoken lefty folk musician who certainly pays homage to the old greats like woody & utah phillips. he’s got the juice.
I mean, the dropkick Murphys put out two albums based on his old song notes and there are still punk bands running around, not to mention folks like Public Enemy. They're just not showing up on the hot 100
My VERY AMATEUR home demo recording of an anti-war song that i wrote and recorded a looooooooong time ago. Listen to March of the Fallen Matches.mp3 by Sticker on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/YUcHx
check out willi carlisle! he’s an outspoken lefty folk musician who certainly pays homage to the old greats like woody & utah phillips. “critterland” was one of my favorite albums released this year.
For sure. I lived in Dublin in the early 90’s before it all took off. Ran a big market at Harold’s Cross Greyhound Stadium. Some fine Guinness was had 😎
The Guinness here has improved over the years but I do miss the way Dublin pubs were 40 years ago. Still a great city but much changed. Streets where I knew most of the shopkeepers have gone replaced by company HQs.
That’s Pete Seeger, isn’t it?
I’m trying to think of a photo that I think is holy. Maybe this one: Lee Miller’s young ladies protecting Britain. Not staged.
"La Rose Blanche" Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl and Alexander Schmorell founded this resistance group against Hitler in Munich, the cradle of National Socialism. Let us not forget them.

So beautiful. So humbling.

You know those "book" things?
She dared tell the truth that everyone knew...and still knows now.
May she rest.
For many of us, it’s worth the journey.

“How did this happen again?”
Literally a self made woman, the epitome of the American dream - and the guy next door whom your kids love when he babysits.

This is my reminder to send their office some bagels and coffee. That's a hard job.
Nah thanks, I prefer liberation by the Free World any day of the week, and twice on D-Day…

Just the lovely sound of silence and crickets! ❤️

Brian Cox has mused that intelligent life is the universe observing itself. This is my church.
I'm going to say it's just a nebula with a lot of stars in it that has a neat shape from the perspective it's being looked at from.

Since there is no empirical evidence for God, there also is no empirical evidence for Satan.
I do however get amusement from the satanic church and how people react to it without actually doing any research on it.
But hey, we aren't the smartest.....
Wait, you don't believe in my god? I guess you must die.
It's very irrational, but here we are.
Nahhh I'll take a pass on that.
these are p what the monkey king peed on...
the buddas fingers.
I took this in Las Vegas at an in-n-out

It’s genuinely really cool to see earnest responses and not just trolls and haters like on you-know-where

1960's music marshalled so many to protest the war, it terrified the powers that be.
So, they consolidated the entire US media into a few corporate hands, and blared garbage at full volume, to hide anyone with a real message.

Love this pic.
Lucky you! They haven't appeared in my area yet. We home made our own batch of wedding cookies two days ago....aaaaand they're gone! 🥰
Thank you!
