I want to share a bit of good news. Flickr, the photo site, reached out to me about including some of my photos in a Flickr blog post about photographing live music. They chose of my photos, a Metallica photo, a Robert Plant photo and a photo of the band, Ghost. The link is: https://flic.kr/y/3M9T4bm. There were some question and answers given to those photographers who participated as well. The answers will come in August I think. #photography #livemusic #concertohotography

Trump Confirms Another Liberal Conspiracy Theory — The Atlantic

The Secret History of “Wokeness”

Listen now (2 min) | In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty scornfully declares that, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean.” So what does “woke” mean? It’s become the pet political aspersion that today’s kooky right-wing hucksters hurl at liberals, but the hurlers would be whopperjawed to learn that it’s was actually coined by and for

Jim Hightower's Lowdown

Via Garry Kasparov:

Don't wonder what will happen if #Russia collapses. It already did! Years ago. It's not a state, it's a mafia front with factions fighting each other for money, resources, and power.

The Earth needs a good doctor. I am sickened at how we treat our only home. Pollution of air and water is rampant and we keep destroying pristine lands by the hour.
