morning walk (before the rain came) distance: 3.4 miles tunes: force, a certain ratio 🎧 #OneWalkADay @wjbphoto.bsky.social 👍🏻 #Photography #ClassicMono #BlackAndWhitePhotography #StreetPhotography #Lumix

High contrast black and white photo taken from a low angle close to a dark bench. The words "BREATHING SPACE" are painted in white lettering along the bottom curve of the bench's side frame. The bench dominates the left foreground in deep shadow, leading the eye along a cobbled waterfront path on the right. In the middle distance on the right, a person walks behind a stroller along the promenade. The background features a low wall, a large modern building, light posts, and distant harbor cranes set against a dramatic sky with soft, luminous clouds. The overall mood is quiet and contemplative, emphasized by strong monochrome tones and clear textures in the stonework.

High contrast, black and white photograph of a harbour scene. In the foreground, a silhouetted figure wearing a hooded jacket leans against a metallic railing, looking out toward the water near a bright white mooring bollard. Behind the railing, a large Caledonian MacBrayne ferry, marked "Loch Portain," dominates the midground docked alongside the pier. The background features industrial harbour infrastructure, including a tall crane extending into a dark, overcast sky filled with dramatic cloud formations. The mood is quiet, solitary, and atmospheric, defined by strong tonal contrast between deep shadows and bright highlights.

High contrast black and white photograph of a white Caledonian MacBrayne ferry navigating calm open water. The ferry positioned in the lower right third of the frame, leaves a subtle wake on the dark water's surface. In the far distance, low hills and a distant coastline stretch across the horizon beneath a vast, dramatic sky filled with heavy, dark storm clouds. The composition emphasizes scale and atmosphere, with deep shadows and moody monochrome tones creating a quiet, imposing feeling.

High contrast black and white photograph of an industrial dockland scene. A massive cantilever crane stands prominently silhouetted against a dramatic, cloud filled sky in the upper left. On the right, a row of dark brick buildings curves along the edge of a harbour, cast in deep shadow. Sunlight glints off the surface of the water in the foreground, while small boats and masts are visible, docked in the distance. The overall mood is dramatic, stark, and atmospheric, emphasized by the strong tonal range between bright highlights in the sky and dark silhouettes.

Trump announces that two countries who have been in a major war have agreed to a ceasefire. Ukraine said they had no idea what he was talking about. Russia said they agreed to nothing. Trump has taken a blowtorch to any credibility the US has built over two centuries.

Donald Trump made a deal with Putin for 36 million barrels of Russian diesel, but that amount won’t move US fuel prices lower. It’ll only fund Putin’s bloody war machine in Ukraine. Putin continues to play Trump like a fiddle.

Andy Barr wears many hats. They are hats of convenience. Is he a racist or did he just pretend to be one? Does he cuddle with Donald Trump or was that a phase? Is he a man of the people or just another shill for the wealthy? The harder question is: How does a man without a spine even wear a hat?

Every Democratic candidate in the country should run a clip of Trump thanking Putin, then say "Trump and the Republicans may be thanking Vladimir Putin, but I never will. Putin and Russia are not our friends. They are our enemies. They want to destroy our country. I will always stand against them."

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

It's important to recognise is that this *isn't* about the US getting "back" to business with Russia, because there's never been much US-Russia business of any kind beyond arms control. What the Trump admin is pushing for is an unprecedented alignment of the US with Russia.

Here's some history the US Supreme Court doesn't want you to think about. In April 2026, SCOTUS effectively ended the Voting Rights Act. The decision has startling parallels with Plessy v. Ferguson, the decision that established “separate but equal" and cemented Jim Crow.
