Photo by Andrew Harnik, same photographer who took these yesterday.
Collage of 4 photos of Donald Trump sitting in a chair at an Oval Office event. In 3 of the photos he appears to be asleep. In the other he looks barely awake with hand and fingers to one eye as if trying to hold it open.

Looks like they've pretty much finished demolishing the rest of the East Wing.

Text from NOLA com article: Guidry, meanwhile, has supported the recent changes implemented at the agency, including the expansion of its police budget. The agency maintains a 50-officer police force that is primarily tasked with protecting levees, pumps, and flood walls, and also provides general policing services to neighborhoods along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. In the interview, he said residents are going to be glad for the increased funding and police training when the city needs to respond to incidents like mass shootings, which he blamed on "crazy liberals," using an expletive. "They're gonna save lives and everybody's gonna be happy," he said. "But until then, they're going to whine about it." The agency plans to spend $3.7 million more on its police this year, raising the total budget from $8 million to nearly $12 million.

New Orleans 20 years ago today, 14 October 2005. Back in town after the Hurricane Katrina Federal Flood.
Distribution center on Freret Street. Packaged food, bottled water, rubber gloves, cleaning supplies. This day they also had bags of ice and plastic cooler boxes. Mighty popular!

How the US press reported on Jane Goodall back in 1962.
"British Coed".
Not "British scientist" or "British researcher."

#JaneGoodall #1960s #misogyny
Black & white newspaper photo of Jane Goodall as young woman sitting on a chair with a small chimpanzee perched behind her - from low res photo unclear if it is a juvenile real chimpanzee or a toy. Text: "MORE TIME FOR APES THAN MEN - Willowy blonde Jane Morris-Goodall relaxes in her London, England apartment with her toy chimpanzee mascot "Soko". April 16. The 27-year-old Cambridge undergraduate, alone and unarmed, spent more than 1,000 hours chimp-watching in Tanganyka's Gombe River game reserve during the 15 months she lived in Africa. "I like apes", Jane said. "In some respects I like them better than men." (AP Wirephoto via radio from London)". Newspaper clipping. Text: ANXIOUS TO GO BACK TO JUNGLES. LONDON (UPI) - A 27 year old British coed, who spent 15 months alone in the African jungles, today was reported anxious to go back because she found apes more interesting than men. “It was wonderful, I can’t get back to the jungle quick enough,” the Daily Sketch quoted Jane Morris-Goodall, “I prefer it to civilization." The newspaper further quoted Miss Morris-Goodall, a Cambridge University undergraduate as saying: ‘‘I like apes in some respects better than men".

Appeasement of Fascists - "Anything for a Quiet Life"

Cartoon by David Low, published in "Ken" magazine, 3 November 1938 issue.

Appeasing fascists won't make them leave you alone. To them, it only demonstrates that you're edible and won't fight back hard.

#Fascism #cartoon #Politics #DavidLow
Cartoon of a large alligator with swastikas on its back coming out of water on to shore. A man is sitting in an easy chair on the shore. He holds a paper labeled "Democracy's Fools Paradise". He looks generally unconcerned as the alligator has one of his legs in its mouth to above the knee. Caption: "Oh, well. Anything for a quiet life."

"He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that."
Screen shot of social media post by EricTastic: He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that people would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man that "I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?
