When the sky says stop but you continue on. #skyphotography #cloudphotography 空が「止まれ」と言っているのに、それでも歩き続けるとき。 #空の写真 #雲の写真

When the sky is filled with storm clouds there is always one green light to get you through it.

But Andrew Hickey Died Ten Years Ago This Very Night @andrewhickey.500songs.com · 20/06/2026

This from the follow-up the next week about Roach's work with Mussolini shows how the more things change the more they stay the same. You could change a couple of words and this could be the "apolitical" artists who signed up for Freedom 250 or the "ally" actors taking Harry Potter money.

“You don’t know but that I might have dinner with Mussolini when I go back to Italy. Maybe I can suggest to him that Hitler is not going quite right about things and maybe Mussolini will write Hitler a note and tell him so. . .I never made a move in Europe in this matter at any time without the advice and cooperation of some of the most prominent Jews there who told me I was doing the finest thing ever done in their estimation—tying up with Mussolini’s son and taking the boy back to Hollywood. . . .” Thus Editor Maurice Kann of Manhattan’s Motion Picture Daily recorded his version of what Hollywood’s Hal Roach excitedly called up by transcontinental telephone to say last week, after both Jewish and Gentile cinema folk had criticized Producer Roach’s partnership with Son Vittorio Mussolini (TIME, Oct. 4).

Louisiana is 33% Black and has six congressional districts. Yet in the past 149 years, they've just had 4 Black congressmen. All of whom are still alive. And that's too many for Louisiana's white Republican leaders.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

AI is profoundly unpopular. A recent NBC News poll found that among 18-34 year-olds, AI's net favorability rating is -44. *Negative 44*. Those are basically serial killer numbers. It's not much better among women 18-49. (Men over 50 and upper class are the only ones who like AI, and just barely.)

A reminder that we didn't go to the moon just to do it. In order to land the first time we had to invent three things: the personal computer, the pocket calculator, and cellular technology - three things that changed humanity on the whole over the last 56 years. Going again will affect the next 56.

In New Orleans, gas station fried chicken is a thing. A very good thing. Some of the best is at Key's on Rampart Street across from the French Quarter. It's SO good. The best part is that (I'm told) the owners are from Pakistan. The chicken is juicy and spicy. Absolutely delicious.
