PHOTO

We avoid the use of generic photos or video that could be mistaken for imagery photographed for the specific story at hand,  or that could unfairly link people in the images to illicit activity. No element should be digitally altered except as described below.

.....Is what the AP says is their policy. Which is wild since the story they're telling us is about the 9/11 memorial in NYC and they're showing a picture of  Trump and his partner who are decidedly not there today.

Every so often I idly wonder how many razor blades are in my wall.
A horizontal slot with a very old sticker below it reading:

F.H. LAWSON CO
LAWSON
EST. 1816
CINCINNATI, O
USA

It's a slot in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom of my house, built in the early '50s. It's to dispose of razor blades by.... dropping them into the slot so they fall into the wall where no one will think about them again.

So they thought.

Back in January, "Behind the Bastards" did a 6-part episode on her with a bonus very long episode called, "The Bastards of Oprah." Dunno what media you use for podcasts (if you do) but they're worth.
