Thank you,Wiley 

What is your political label?

I am usually dubious of online quizzes; most of the time there is some back-end shill asking for a donation or for an abundance of personal information.  I follow blogger Infidel753; his research is impeccable on topics of Middle East and European political events.  His weekly postings not only include his insights and summaries, but also a round-up of interesting images and memes, and on the weekends, a round-up of curated links on topics from "idiots behaving badly" to updates on the Ukraine / Russian conflict and matters in Israel and Iran.  In this weekends slate of links, Infidel included:

The Political Spectrum Quiz: What is your political belief.   

50 or so questions containing a statement, and your choice of a perceived impact of that statement.  No pleas for money afterwards, or a specific asks for personal information; just an interesting read on your political outlook. Since I trust in Infidel to not steer me into the weeds, I gave it a go.

I came out strong left / centrist which... tracks!  I kept the book mark and will take the quiz again in a year or so to see if anything shifts.   

Thank you, Infidel, for the interesting link!

Sunday Morning Sip

The final Sunday of April!  

 

Ah-yup...

 

 

And getting those steps in! 

 

Lessons lost. 

 

And when I see small children in public,

I tend to mutter "Yuck..." 

 

and apathy is a choice. 

 

HEY!  WINGNUTS!  

GAY PRIDE is only ONE MONTH AWAY!!! 

Bwahahahahahaha! 

 

Even the pull tab cans get their attention from 

a dead sleep. 

Peace and bunnies. 

 

 

 

Even the thought of HAVING to find a 

parking space is enough to just go home. 

 

Tired of all the YouTube channels about 

all the good things AI does. 

It don't. 

 

Thank you, Wiley. 

 

Ah-HAH!  I new it! 

 Thank you, Infidel, for this one!

Smart bees!

 

Your Saturday Morning Sip

 The last Saturday of April... 

 

And how! 

 

 

I'm just over MAGA and the GOP... 

Uh-huh. 

 

From "MAD Magazine back in the day...

things really have not change all that much. 

 

One of my few, remaining Jackiesue memes. 

 

Me, more than I care to admit... 

 

Any day, now... any day now. 

 

Thank you, Garry Trudeau 

 

Shame... all those anti-vaxxers 

and not one carrier. 

Some Hoagie Carmichael to round out the morning.

Am I blue? 

 

 

Birthday Two-fers!!!

Right up there with Dolly, John Waters celebrated his 80th Birthday in Waters style, with none other than Deborah Harry!

Happy Birthday, Prince of Puke! May you live another 80! 

Meanwhile, the always incredible Jack Nicholson celebrated his 89th!

Your Daily Meme... and MEN!!!

 

 

 

 Oh.... Patrick.. Patrick... Patrick...

you are missed!   

Catch that last bus to Moscow.

Fascinating collection of photos on the OMG blog about a Canadian (of course) photo journalist who spent 12 years traveling all across the Soviet Union to take photos of... bus stops. 

Source: OMG 

From OMG; "Canadian photographer Herwig spent over a decade travelling more than 50,000 kilometres across the former Soviet Union, documenting nearly 750 bus stops in countries ranging from Ukraine and Georgia to Kazakhstan and the Baltics."

Just an incredible assortment of structures and architectural variations! At first blush, I had thought the one photo above was of an indigenous person, but on closer examination, I see it is a statue of St. George and he is slaying a dragon. That would track in Russia.
