TUESDAY #3047

One Of My Very Own...


MUDDY WATERS



It's nice that in this country you can tell the president to shut the fuck up in public and nothing happens. Try that in Russia....or Turkey.

Valid point.



What a wonder argument. I mean it. Relate to something people can understand.




 Whaaaaaat?




My new favorite sign...

Trump's answer to Putin PR stunt...

 Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. NEVER AGAIN.


===
U.S. Marines deployed to the Black Sea
 I had no idea until it was announced that one of the had died running over a mine on a road just like this one.

===
 I don't know shit about the election in France.
 All I know is that when that man was a 15yo high school student his father had to warn his French teacher not to diddle with him until he was at least 18. That teacher is now is wife and 30 years his senior.

UN Watch outraged as Saudi Arabia takes place on UN Women’s Right Commission.

This is the type of Russian bomber that keeps nudging the Alaska coastline. First of all, I would be embarrassed to show this to anyone. Second, to call that a bomber is a real stretch of the word.
When I was stationed in Europe we conducted "Turkey Shoots" from time to time. A Turkey Shoot was when we flew large numbers of our fighters directly at the Soviet border at very high speed. Then we would time and note which bases the responding interceptors came from and how long it took for them to get off the ground. The Russians are pulling that same old bullshit in Alaska.

REALLY GOOD IDEAS


===
A neighborhood inside a retired baseball stadium, Osaka, Japan.
That looks as photoshopped as anything could, but I researched it and not only is it true, I found this.
The Arsenal Stadium has been turned into flats, with the pitch area redeveloped as common gardens.

This is the way we do it in the Deep South...
We reuse hazardous waste dumps.

Me: Do you have any books on turtles?
Librarian: Hard backs?

ODDITIES - AT LEAST TO ME

What wonderful little vehicles...

Animation of the Great Red Spot of Jupiter

===
Stop motion animation with lentils.
Yes, lentils.

Black sand beach - Iceland

"And son, that's how satellites are made."

===
The Hawaiians call this phenomenon the Lahaina Noon.
The reason there are no shadows is because the sun is directly overhead.

===
It gets dark when the photo cell on the top senses darkness. Here the bird blocks the sun...
I once needed it very dark to see my projections on a mural site and used a paint roller extension handle to raise a black plastic bag to cover the street lamp.

Twins vs. One Baby

An infinite number of one dollar bills is worth the same as an infinite number of twenty dollar bills.


PEOPLE WHO PUZZLE ME

The Potato chip collector...

===
Who put dad in charge?

===
Best. Job. Ever.

===
The Americans can volunteer to watch executions. Here are repeat viewers.

There hobby is to watch people like these take their last desperate gasp.

I'm no fan of such practices, and thankfully I am not alone.

===
How have humans managed to survive this long?
We didn't just get stupid. We must have been at least this stupid all along. I just don't get it.

===
I so hate that part of soccer.

THINGS GOING STRAIGHT TO SHIT

The UN's International Organization for Migration says that human traffickers paid to smuggle migrants out of sub-Saharan Africa are selling their "clients" to slavers in Libya, who ransom them to their families, starving them and working them to death while they wait for the money to come in.

That last gasp of hope as it teeters on the brink.

This IS NOT a cruise missile.

From a film made in Belgium...
"Come What May"; a WWII film worth the watch.
But I've never seen this before.

The plot followed a large group of citizens from a town in Belgium as they fled (try to flee) the Nazi advance in WWII.
Before leaving this guy opened his wine collection and drank all they could so the Nazis wouldn't get it.

This was based on true stories; this being a real photo of some of the children.
They had thought, erroneously, that all they had to do was get to the old French line in the First World War and they would be safe because the French knew all about trench warfare.
Now go back and check out the kid on the left.

This shows the snake lunging out of the trash can the moment the door cracks open.
