Aviation nut and pilot, motorcyclist, dog loving, polyamorist. A Brit / Irish bloke who moved to the USA, lives in PA, became an American and likes where he is even if the politics are awful right now. Definitely lefty, former security geek, and granddad

Yes it is disturbing and sad and self inflicted. ICE are bastards, staffed in many cases by racists who are getting off in this behaviour.

An image of Musk doing his “Roman salute” and text of “X marks the rot”. The second line is “delete your account”

Seen in Tottenham in North London. Creative advertising at work.
This is a parody of the fast and furious films called the fast and fürhrer. It shows Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute standing above a Tesla car. The text at the bottom reads Heil Tesla. apparently it won five Adolfs at the Nuremberg film festival period.

Image of Tesla car. Standing up and appearing through sunroof is apparently Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute. The text reads "Goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 Seconds, Tesla, the Swasticar"

On an individual level I have sympathy for this person. A focussed and well orchestrated media campaign convinced many to vote for a pathological liar who now occupies the Presidency. On a mass level, there needs to be some suffering and she voted for it.

#USSUnitedStates #Vinik The USS United States under tow behind Vinik Number 6. What an extraordinary photograph.
The USS United States under tow at sea, behind Vinik Number 6, a tug owned by the Vinik family tugboat business. The captain of the Tug is Mike Vinik and it is his photograph. The ship is on the horizon, clearly an ocean liner and it is under a low gray sky. The view is looking aft over the port rear quarter of the tug. You can clearly see the line attached to the tug. There is some spume off the waves or maybe some rising mist. It could be the cover for a maritime ghost story book.

#target #DEI When you send an email to Katie Boylan, executive vice president and chief communications officer of Target,Gmail's web client adds a rainbow. Perhaps in the light of Target's DEI policy she should consider changing it to a MAGA hat ? See if it happens for you with an email to her.
A screen shot of what the Gmail web client does when you type in Katie Boylan, the company's most senior PR person. It displays an LGBTQ rainbow symbol.  it should be a MAGA hat.

#aviation #aeroplane #airplane #spitfire #dauntless #huey More warbirds that I have ridden in. Best by far was the Spitfire. We were flew over South East England, the sky where the Battle of Britain was won. The Huey was just scary, but sounded amazing, the beat of the rotor blades is memorable.
Two seat T MkIX Spitfire called Grey Nurse at the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar. A view from the gunner's seat in a Douglas Dauntless dive bomber. Diving at 70 degrees from 20000ft, these planes took out four Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway.Douglas Dauntless operated by the Commemorative Air Force. Taken at the Reading Air Show in Pennsylvania. The aeroplane is painted , taxiing for take off on a clear day with blue skies and no cloud.A Huey, the icon of the Vietnam War. This shot was taken at Zephyr Hills.

If the US wants to execute drugs smugglers, maybe the Mexicans should execute gun smugglers. The first time an American is up against a wall, make sure it is an AR15, or a .50 cal Barrett that does the job. No, not really supporting capital punishment, so no death penalty, but life terms are fine.

Unless we sort the GOP and its spineless members, the country will be fit to be renamed “United States of Craven Cowards of America “
“If Ukraine is forced to surrender its sovereign territory to Russia, it will be the greatest betrayal of a European ally since Poland in 1945”. That is the text of this photograph which is a quote from a UK member of Parliament called Edward Davey.

Listening to BBC Radio 4 news, an American, self professed Trump supporter who is fighting in and for Ukraine just said how disappointed he was in Trump’s effective folding in front of Russia. At least he had the grace to be embarrassed but what the fuck did he expect ?

The infamous advert from #splc and #commoncause Under alleged pressure from #elonmusk, the advert was rejected. Let's see it get some circulation and share the hell out of it.
This is the advert about Elon Musk that the Southern Poverty Law Centre and Common Cause paid for to run in the Washington Post. The post backed down and would not run it, allegedly under pressure from #elonmusk .

Dogs are essential for sanity
Sparrow the blind dog is getting his Mike time in. I am getting my Sparrow time. With all the shit that’s going down right now, dogs are essential to keep keep me sane. Sparrow is an 80 lb weight Australian Shepherd Australian cattle dog cross with a bunch of other bits and pieces thrown in. He is blind but you really wouldn’t know it a rescue and the dog I imagine I should’ve had as an eight year-old.
