I'd buy a book (the old standard "coffee table book"?) filled with pictures of shoes and socks from the campaign. Kamala inspired my cheap ass to finally buy a pair of authentic Chucks (simple black low-tops) and I loved them so much my husband bought me a pair of purple high-tops, too!
Got seriously rabbit-holed via someone's post about a Wegovy ad into SNL skits. Ryan Gosling's two "Papyrus" mini-movies were amazing and funny as hell.
Say what you will about Substack but I'm glad to see there's the option to click and expand photos. A good reminder they can be worth a thousand words. Someone hire this man for a lucrative gig!
I enjoy all of your pictures including the ones here. In this group, my favorite is one of your non-political ones, the dog looking out the passenger window of the truck in Kimball, Tennessee. Something about the combination of the huge truck and the small dog paired together.
My only sad is that I can't pull EXIF from them to see lens, f-stop etc. Sometimes you catch the light perfectly (eg light on flag photo) and I'd like to see how you did it.
Just click any photo, then on the left hand side there is an "i" with all the exif data, including tags. And, if you see something you'd love to buy a print of, email me with the URL.
Dr. Oz told members of the National Governors' Association (video below) that uninsured Americans "don't have the right to health," but should be given "a way of crawling back out of the abyss of darkness of fear over not having the health they need." That, he suggested, could come via physicals in a "festival-like setting."
Oz, described by the AP as a "celebrity heart surgeon turned talk show host and lifestyle guru," had urged members of the NGA to "think about" those physicals, promoting them as "incredibly inexpensive to run," while declaring that "local hospitals will fund" them.
"You can screen thousands of people for almost nothing, and you allow a conversation and take place in more of a festival-like setting," Oz said. "It's not scary, and I mentioned earlier that almost everybody's come into our 50-minute physicals has a job, but a lot don't have insurance." (At one point he appears to say "15-minute physicals," and at another, "50-minute physicals.")
"Give them a way of crawling back out of the abyss of darkness of fear over not having the health they need, and give them an opportunity, cause they don't have the right to health, but they have the right to access a chance to get that health."
""Chicken Fat" (also known as "The Youth Fitness Song") is a 1962 song written by Broadway composer Meredith Willson (The Music Man, The Unsinkable Molly Brown) and performed by actor Robert Preston. It was commissioned as part of the President's Council on Physical Fitness."
"The bouncy chorus ended with the words "Go, you chicken fat, go!""
So we're back to 1962 levels of healthcare, eh?
Fuck you Dr Oz. Fuck you forever, you charlatan fucking dickbag overprivileged out of touch fucking quack.
We got a better response from Republicans about healthcare in 1962, because everyone thought our soldiers were physically inferior to Soviet soldiers, and there was never any price tag too great for anything having to do with the Cold War.
Hell, Republicans were 100% behind putting a man on the Moon, no matter the cost, while fighting a proxy war in southeast Asia, and none of it off-budget like W's wars, because both things were designed to put the Commies in their place.
I'm sure when covering something as loathsome as CPAC Turning Point, one focuses on the story and the messages being conveyed: Hate, Bigotry, Christian Nationalism, Intolerance, Homophobia and Misogyny
I am being absolutely truthful. A couple of hours in and I would be covered in boils
Oftentimes, the hype far exceeds the event. Superbowl, Tyson fight, Friday nights. But with the coming installation of Donaldus Maximus and the comic horror cast of ghouls and weirdos he has assembled, the event will exceed even the hype, dread, fear and loathing we have been experiencing for months. It is, actually, impossible to imagine all of the possible dimensions this malignancy might take on. So buckle up, get a helmet, brace for impact, and free yourselves of all fucks, because 2025 has arrived!
Love it!!!

Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ
Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8PdffUfoF0
Many cute details in these, like Papyrus being in his "recently used fonts" and the end logo being in Comic Sans
Also was impressed by the Gosling-adjacent spoof of "I'm Just Ken" as "I'm Just Pete." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-UfkZKKGc0
But he best thing I found was Kate McKinnon as Kellywise. Absolutely brilliant. Especially here:
https://youtu.be/Hlt3rA-oDao?t=134 The whole thing is must-watch perfection though. I think I've watched it like 5 times already.
Always a pleasure to see our Dom's photo clicking. He has a good eye for them.
Through Dom's keen and inquisitive eye we see those critical facets what will impact our lives.
For this clarity of vision we are damned grateful.
Thank you, as usual, Dominic, for the work you put into delivering your always amazing photos!
Great pics and piece, but god damn...THOSE BOOTS!!!! [Robyn: slayyyying IT, as ever!]

Nice pictures. I still don’t believe (accept?) that America chose the asshole fair and square.

Ta, Dom. As always, lovely photos.
Those're some amazing pictures, Dominic!

This retired RN would be a more rational and responsible healthcare counselor than this egomanical prat retains ANY capacity for.
Oz demonstrates no compassion or humanity.
they have the right to access a chance to get that health
Its the Wellness LOTTO!
Something else to dangle just out of reach to keep them desperate and complacent.
Conversations! not Health Care.
Fuck him. And Ted Cruz. In perpetuity.

Go away.
They appear to be so confident of their abilities to control future elections that they don't give a fuck what they say to anyone.
Give them a way of crawling back out of the abyss of darkness of fear over not having the health they need
Ooh, I got it: a contest! Call it Who Wants to Get Cancer Treatment or something. All America will watch to root for their favorites!
Cancer Games.
It can run right after The Hunger Games, when average Americans try to figure out a way to buy a dozen eggs.
Surgeon. Why are surgeons so fucking stupid? Is it because they are basically mechanics and not actual doctors?
When Ms. O had her gall bladder out, the surgeon came into the ER room and looked on her as nothing more than a slab of meat.
TBF, he was much nicer and personable when he checked on her recovery.

We exercised to that song in elementary school PE every day! I think I remember it as funny at the time. I would surely hate it now!
50 mile hikes was a major component of the Council's program:

"fucking psychotic grifting assgadget" would have been more accurate than that bullshit the AP used as a description.
That man deserves to end his career eating roasted sparrows under a freeway somewhere. He doesn't even deserve a curtain rod.
I dunno what Oprah saw in this guy. Did she even meet him?
Daytime shows have an army of producers and assistant producers who would have found him in the first place.
A dollar is a dollar I guess. Even on tee vee.
And thats why I never tried to have a career in daytime TV. It's the most craven cynical cesspool. Well, the talk shows are.

Prepare to dissolve fucks!
I was going to jettison them, but that felt too much like "giving" them.
Properly aimed, it feels less like giving.
Good move. If you jettison your fucks they pollute the environment with micro-fucks. They'll get in *everything*
You bet your ass they will!
