The felon and "Ellen"

Trouble in paradise

Perspective

I have to commend the photographer who managed to be in the right place at the right time. The contextual AFP photo may be found here. I'm reminded of Chris Norlund's reluctance in the past to say the N-word in his videos, choosing instead to use a "moustache" euphemism.

I watched "Nürnberg und seine Lehre" on TCM this morning. There's a 23-minute version of it on Tubi. Wait! They cut 55 minutes out of a 78-minute film? That's abridged too far!

Say what?

There's a con in the White House: a felon
Whose intent is a cut of the melon.
His cohort-in-chief
Is a like-minded thief.
Succinctly, in a word, it is Elon.

Here we go — poor rabbits

Catherine and I were in Los Angeles at the end of 1986 for the Jerry Slocum puzzle party. At the top-right of my photo (above) would be the location of Pacific Palisades. It was there that Fabian Lewkowicz of Santa Monica Closeup captured the devastating aftermath of the fire:

I love the ease with which Owen Morgan inserts his deconstructions.

Bridgewater canal breach aftermath

One week after the collapse of a Bridgewater canal embankment section northwest of Little Bollington (just south of where the River Bollin crosses the canal), Josh Taylor continues to provide daily updates on the situation as the family's moored narrowboat is trapped nearby.
