It's off by a few years, but Franklin Carmichael’s A Northern Silver Mine, 1930
Franklin Carmichael's A Northern Silver Mine, 1930. A mine rises out of the foreground, harsh and black. Across an increasingly polluted river sits a haphazard collection of houses strewn among the green hills

We've been seeing these show up in California in Signal Hill, Long Beach, and Lakewood since September
Distant blurry photo taken from a car of a street corner with a colorful handwritten sign sitting in the grass in Signal Hill CA. It reads: Sept. 22, 2025. TWO PEOPLE WERE KIDNAPPED TODAY AT THIS HOME DEPOT. DOS PERSONAS FUERON SEQUESTRADAS HOY EN ESTE HOME DEPOT Photo taken from a car of a street corner with a colorful handwritten sign fallen over in the dirt in Signal Hill CA. It matches the other sign that reads: Sept. 22, 2025. TWO PEOPLE WERE KIDNAPPED TODAY AT THIS HOME DEPOT. DOS PERSONAS FUERON SEQUESTRADAS HOY EN ESTE HOME DEPOT

Toaster (left) would like treats. Or attention. And then treats. And then maybe some attention?

Rumor (right) isn't convinced but will be watching for proof that treats are indeed good and nice
A white + brown cat is standing way up close seeking literally anything her human will provide. She's sad it's not already happening. So sad. A wide-eyed Siamese cat sits between a bunch of houseplants and a blue rug. She stares intently at the promise of treats but has no trust that there will be treats, though there are always treats. "I don't believeee youuuu," her face accuses.

This is Rumor. She looks precisely this suspicious at all times, until she demands to be petted extravagantly and at length. All chairs, sofas, and coffee tables are her property, how dare you think otherwise.

TIL about the Lord Mayor of London's State Coach and I need you all to pinky swear you will never tell That One Guy this exists

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Ma...
The Lord Mayor of London's State Coach (c. 1757) on display in the Museum of London behind a barrier, as visitors pass around it. From Wikipedia: The carriage is of the type known as a Berlin. It is constructed substantially of wood, which is richly carved, ornamented and gilded. The body of the coach is attached to the undercarriage by four thick leather straps, each held in place by a huge, intricately decorated gilt buckle featuring the City's coat of arms. The roof of the coach is red painted with gilded ornamentation; there was formerly a central carved feature (depicting four boys holding baskets of fruit) only the base of which now remains. There is a large box seat in front for the coachman, whose foot-rest is in the shape of a scallop shell. On all four sides of the coach there are painted panels, each showing an allegorical scene: The front panel shows figures representing Faith, Hope and Charity (Hope is shown pointing towards the dome of St Paul's Cathedral). The rear panels depict a figure representing the City of London receiving gifts from Riches and Plenty, Trade and Commerce. The right-hand panels include a Mayor being presented to the figure of the City, with the spire of Old St Paul's Cathedral in the background. The left-hand panels include the god Mars pointing to a scroll held by Truth on which is inscribed the name of the first Mayor, Henri Fitz Alwin. The Lord Mayor of London's State Coach (c. 1757) in use at the Lord Mayor's Show (2007). A gilded, gaudy, toothily ostentatious, ornamented monstrosity of a conveyance with red trimmings, painted panels, big spoked wheels and a seat for the coachman to drive the horses rides on a London street among men in their traditional silly British costumes. "I'M IMPORTANT," it seems to wheeze huffily at the rabble, "SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU."

If you could recommend one black-and-white movie to someone who dislikes them, what would it be? 🖤
Black + white film poster for The Night of the Hunter (1955). A man with weary eyes looms large in the frame, half his face covered in shadow beneath his wide-brimmed hat, and his hands clasped together. The knuckles of one hand are tattooed, "L O V E" and the other, "H A T E." Pointing up at him from the below is a stark white triangle where just outside his grasp two children in a rowboat limned in red float in a river. Underneath them is the billing block: Robert Mitchum Shelley Winters The Night of the Hunter Director Charles Laughton, (and the rest).

Dangerously anti-social and toxically self-centered is an understatement here...
Screenshot of X/Twitter interaction, Aug 14-16 2025. @SirBylaholte: I voted for Trump because I don't identify in any way with the race of people who are making millions of dollars to still be offended by something that ended 160 years ago. @Jerlyn: I mean I figured voting for a pedophile could be much worse.. but that's me. @SirBylHolte: I'm 64. In what way is voting for a pedophile dangerous to me?

Post by Gillardista @ darkgillard: "He has a fucking tab line from it." Photo of Curtis Sliwa, the talk show host, former NYC mayoral candidate and hardcore racist, standing as part of a group while holding his trademark red 'Guardian Angel' cap over his heart during the National Anthem at a 2021 rally. His face is deeply tanned except starting an inch over his eyebrows where the cap would normally sit, which is dead body levels of pale.

CNN screenshot. Chyron: "Sources: Early U.S. Intel Assessment Suggests Strikes Only Set Back Iran Nuclear Program By Months" Photo of a white blonde smiling woman, identified as Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary: "This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as 'top secret' but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community. The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demand President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration."

@PasadenaGov: The City of Pasadena is cancelling programming, including swim lessons and other programs at Villa Parke, Robinson Park and Victory Park today, Saturday June 21, out of an abundance of caution after seeing social media posts of what appears to be federal enforcement activity at Villa Parke this morning and the potential escalation of conflict that unannounced federal enforcement activity causes.

What is clear is that mapping abortion rights onto her case is difficult, because Smith herself is likely dead in the eyes of the law, a judgement that seems reasonable enough to me - but that means there can be no legal weighing of maternal interests against those of the fetus, because the mother no longer has any interests. Not can there be a violation of Smith's right to choose, because she is no longer making choices. This use of a human body to effectively treat
