What should we call *this* economic crash?
- Dirty White Boy Depression
- Heritage of the Haters
- Tribalism Economic Trough
- Return to Serfdom

We need a proper title, like the Dark Ages, the Great Depression...

This is a direct result of the September 1st meeting:

Trump (whining): They didn't invite me to the party!

(oops. Originally, I thought it was the Sept 3rd military parade with No. Korea)

The Antonov An-124-100 Ruslan is always annoying when it flies overhead. More so when there's cloud cover. Today was particularly obnoxious, and an unusual time for it.

Colorful poster for August 1, 2025 "La Marcha de la Puebla", depicting people from a variety of professions with the subtitle: Heroes Not Villains and the website www.LaCulturaDelMundo.org Monarch butterflies, representative of the cross-border commute that many workers from Mexico make to work in the USA, fly over a field of agricultural workers with a large farm truck in the foreground. In the background, there is a tractor, behind which are four cameos of people depicted: a judge; a professional holding a book; a man in a lab coat; and a woman dressed for outdoor work. Her basket has the date 08/01 on it. Above the people, across a blue sky, flies a flag with the words 'La Marcha de la Puebla'. Alt text written by an actual human being.
