today's hero
U.S. District Senior Judge Cameron McGowan Currie of the District of South Carolina. Credit: U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of South Carolina. Judge Currie is a white woman with moderately short red hair, wearing black rimmed eyeglasses and judicial robes over a white blouse with a loose collar, seated behind the bench in a courtroom. An American flag is partly visible to Currie's right. The top of a black Dell laptop, out of focus, occupies the lower fifth of the image.

BREAKING: Trump demands investigation of J.P. Morgan's ties to Epstein!
A black & white photo of John Pierpont Morgan, a/k/a J.P. Morgan, a prominent American financier and banker who played a key role in shaping the country's financial landscape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He's a balding, grey-haired white man with piercing eyes and a bulbous, misshapen nose over a dark, busy moustache. He's posed sitting, glaring at the camera, wearing an expensive suit and holding a sheaf of papers. His whole presentation screams FUCK YOU, PEASANT.

Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani in a department store. Rudy is in drag, wearing a blonde wig, heavy makeup, and a shiny pink shawl over a grey and green dress. Rudy appears to be trying perfume as Trump looks on with evident desire.

Rego Park: Sin City
Looking north on Woodhaven Boulevard in Queens, New York. In the foreground is a square illuminated sign advertising SMOKE SHOP: Vape, E-Cig, Pipes, Hookah, Cigarettes, Kratom, Craft Beer, Lucky Lotto, Quick Draw, ATM, and Cigar; a black awning with white block letters and an illustration of a hookah promotes similar offerings. Beyond, stretching into the distance, are vertical illuminated signs attached to separate storefronts, advertising LIQUORS, CIGARS, and CANNABIS. Behind me, unseen: a Columbian fried chicken restaurant. Two people are walking toward me on the sidewalk, oblivious to this satanic paradise!

R.I.P. J.D. King of the Coachmen
Facebook post by Thurston Moore: J.D. King, comics illustrator, and founder of 1979 NYC art rock band The Coachmen has passed away. J.D. (or simply, John, as I knew him) and I met in ‘78 at Cutlers Record store in New Haven CT as we both hovered over the Velvet Underground section (it was empty) and began talking about all things Punk. He graduated RISD that year and moved with a bunch of art rock lads to downtown NYC cohabitating in the infamous South Street building housing Cindy Sherman, Robert Longo, Kathryn Bigelow a.o. He invited me, my guitar, and my sleeping bag to move in and we started a band named The Coachmen. We broke up in ‘80 and I started what would soon morph into Sonic Youth. New Alliance/SST records posthumously released our one recording “Failure to Thrive” (J Mascis told me “it’s your best record”) J.D. is the tall guy in the pix with glasses (the first one is live at A’s, the posed ones are by Tama Bruder except the clipper ship one by Elodie Lauten)— We stayed in touch through email but I hadn’t seen him since the 80s. He was super important to my life’s journey and I send him, his family and friends all my best, all my love - T

adding a big box of old 45s into my Discogs collection and came across this rarity. the doo-wop singer Ritchie Marsh is forgotten today, but three years after this 1962 Shepherd Records single, Sky Saxon (born Richard Elvern Marsh) founded The Seeds ("Pushin' Too Hard")!
A 7-inch vinyl 45 rpm phonograph record laying on a wooden table. The label is off-white in color with grey text, including the logo for Shepherd Records, Hollywood, California; the title of the A-side, "They Say"; and the recording artist, Ritchie Marsh.

#BlueskyVsEarth
The flag of Canada is vertically striped red-white-red with a large central red maple leaf. It has a width-to-length ratio of 1 to 2. The establishment of the Canadian federation in 1867 was not accompanied by the creation of a special flag for the country. The imperial Union Jack and other British flags were considered sufficient, although a coat of arms (in the form of a heraldic shield) was granted by Queen Victoria in 1868. A major change in symbols took place in 1921, when Canada was granted a distinctive new coat of arms; it quartered the symbols of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France with three green maple leaves on a silver background. That shield replaced the 1868 original in Canadian ensigns three years later. In 1957 a revised artistic version incorporated red maple leaves instead of green “to show the maturity of the country.” Agitation for a distinctive Canadian flag increased following World War II. Heated debate took place in 1964 following the promise of Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson that Canada would acquire its own national flag prior to the centennial of confederation in 1967. Months of public and parliamentary debate resulted in approval (December 1964) of the new Maple Leaf Flag, which became official by royal proclamation on February 15, 1965, and is now broadly supported by the Canadian population. The maple leaf had been a national symbol since at least 1868, and its red colour has been described as a symbol of Canadian sacrifice during World War I. Pearson’s original flag proposal showed three red maple leaves on a white field with narrow blue vertical stripes at either end. Several individuals have been credited with suggestions that resulted in the final design, which broadened the stripes and changed them to red to emphasize the national colours (red and white). A single maple leaf gave a distinctive and easily recognizable central symbol. — Whitney Smith

The front of a large political mailer from Republican New York City Council candidate Alicia Vaichunas. Over a spooky cemetery background, Halloween-style lettering proclaims: "TRICK OR TREAT - FREE SCARY POSTER INSIDE The inside of a large political mailer from Republican New York City Council candidate Alicia Vaichunas depicts (left to right), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Mayoral candidate Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, and New York Governor Kathy Hochul standing in front of an apocalyptic scene of a riotous mob setting fire to Manhattan. The Empire State Building looms over dense smoke and flames and the rioters hold signs saying "I [Heart] Criminals", "Higher Taxes For All", "Antifa Forever", and "Defund The Police." Mamdani and Hochul are smiling. AOC is not smiling. The back of a large political mailer from Republican New York City Council candidate Alicia Vaichunas quotes her: "I'm running for City Council because I'm the only candidate willing to stand up to radical Socialists who are destroying this city and state." There are photos of Vaichunas, a heavy-set woman with a light skin color, bleached blond hair, and eyeglasses, interacting with voters on the streets of Queens.
