This is your monday morning reader for today. The pictures are soldiers from the War Between the States. We are still trying to get this war thing right, 160 years later. · i exchanged messages once with a man. a4a said he lived four miles away. this went on for several weeks, and he was becoming an asshole. for example, he mentioned in passing once that he was jewish. a few weeks later, I said happy easter, and he went off because I TOLD YOU I WAS JEWISH. so anyway, instead of north druid hills road, he lived in connecticut · Some state laws taking effect July 1: Roadside Pet Sales Banned – HB 331 No more selling dogs or cats from cars or gas stations—only licensed sellers. · Human Composting Legal – SB 241 An eco-friendly burial option: bodies can now be composted into soil. · Fluorescent Pink Hunting Gear Allowed – HB 167 Blaze pink is now a legal alternative to orange for deer hunting safety. · State Stew Named – HB 233 Designates Brunswick stew as Georgia’s official state stew. · Russell Lee took the social media picture in November 1939. “Turkey pickers waiting for work to start. Cooperative poutry plant, Brownwood, Texas”. These pictures are in the public domain. · Comic Dave Smith came to the attention of many of us when Douglas Murray bested him in a viral debate on Joe Rogan’s podcast a couple of months ago. He’s a libertarian anti-interventionist who is a huge fan of the noxious amateur historian Darryl Cooper. He is not the most important or sophisticated anti-Israel, anti-interventionist voice out there, but he has a following and is representative of how and what his camp argues. It is, in short, not impressive. There’s a reason that in his debate with Douglas Murray he defended the proposition that you don’t have to know much about a given topic to have valuable things to say about it · Rolling Stone was different in the early days. It was printed on cheap newsprint, and had a lot more to read than today. It was the Great Speckled Bird on steroids · “Have you ever wondered who the sexual link between Edward Carpenter and Allen Ginsburg was? Wonder no more, and meet Gavin Arthur: grandson of US President Chester Allan Arthur, astrologer, sexologist, Irish Republican, sometime Communist, sometime Democrat, Haight-Ashbury hippie rabble-rouser, and chaotic bisexual.” · Pictures today are from the The Library of Congress. Marion Wolcott Post took the social media post in February 1941. “Juke joint and bar in the Belle Glade area, vegetable section of south central Florida” · Today’s post goes archive diving through 2010. There is a lady preacher, “a nice lady with a nice husband.” Before long, the nice husband was arrested for assaulting her in a parking lot · Pictures today are from The Library of Congress. Russell Lee took the social media picture in April 1942. “Los Angeles, California. Street scene in Little Tokyo” · selah ©Luther Mckinnon 2025 · This was on a blog post that will be published soon. This is one incident, in one forgotten war. Multiply this incident as many times as you like, and you get an idea of the damage we are doing. There are stories coming from Afghanistan. Here is one more. Now as then, the problem is not hatred of the west, so much as a dislike of foreign troops swaggering around and making themselves odious to the very people they are meant to be helping. On the return journey, as we crawled back up the passes towards Kabul, we got stuck behind a US military convoy of eight Humvees and two armoured personnel carriers in full camouflage, all travelling at less than 20 miles per hour. Despite the slow speed, the troops refused to let any Afghan drivers overtake them, for fear of suicide bombers, and they fired warning shots at any who attempted to do so. By the time we reached the top of the pass two hours later, there were 300 cars and trucks backed up behind the convoy, each one full of Afghans furious at being ordered around in their own country by a group of foreigners. Every day, small incidents of arrogance and insensitivity such as this make the anger grow. · From 2009: This compendium of commodity wisdom uses male oriented terms. I realize that more than half of humanity is female. However, the english language is clumsy. Words like their and people just don’t sound right. For today, I will say he and him. · @chamblee54 This post references a 2009 post by @avitable Re the original post: “Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.” · The social media picture was taken March 23, 1962. “Krystal Restaurant 3385 Memorial Drive.” · Todays feature includes a collection of motivational rules for living. If you don’t want to do anything, you can always tell other people how to do everything. The picture was taken at a Krystal, on Memorial Drive in Decatur · The social media picture was taken in September 1955. “Roswell Road at Wieuca, for Adams-Cates Company” · Today’s entertainment has a link to this: “A brief introduction to the nine people shot dead on 31 May 2010, by Israeli soldiers who attacked the Turkish vessel M.V. Mavi Marmara, as it attempted to transport humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.” · @nihilist_arbys Beneath the blood red sky, as the nuclear ash piles on the scorched ground like snow drifts, as the weak tortured screams echo off bodies piled in our periphery remember here at the end of all things no one cares how many sweet 1/4 lb briskets you chug in 1 sitting Enjoy Arbys · Pictures today are from The Library of Congress The social media picture: Pvt Richard Henry McKaughan of Co. G, 7th Confederate States Cavalry Battalion and Co. D, 16th North Carolina Cavalry Battalion … Photograph shows identified soldier, who was captured on April 1, 1865, at Dinwiddie Court House, Virginia, and imprisoned at Hart’s Island, New York Harbor. · selah ©Luther Mckinnon 2025
