This is what oligarchy looks like:

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.

Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.

That’s a pretty good return on investment.

Patching holes leaves room for thought.

The #cahaba #river below the #shoals in #alabama 😍

The perspective is from inside of an jon boat on the Cahaba River. The camera picks up a bridge in the background as the details of the river and vegetation emerge in the foreground. The surface of the river reflects the occurrence.

Historic train trusses nestled in the bank's edge, partially submerged in the #muddywhaters of the Cahaba River.

The front of this binder has a million dollar band sticker on the front from the university of Alabama. I assume was washed away from Bibb County middle/high school based on where it was found. The sheet protectors have all been filled with rocks and sediment.

A #houseboat was washed #ashore

With storms came rising water and a beached houseboat adjacent to a muck filled slough

Not for brandishing a firearm though, just for having it in the building to begin with. The arrest is not in relation to the magistrate pulling a gun on a citizen in the parking lot unprovoked.

Been redoing the #jonboat 😁
So far we've drilled out rivets, pulled the #boat transom, cut HDP for wood replacement, fit new running boards on the #boattrailer, and started #spraypainting.

Mayor Woodfin is the best thing that has happened for Birmingham in decades. His opponent's words show that they are not up to the task at hand.

Repurposed a section of ribbon that came with a blanket as a patch on some work pants for a bit of added character.

This was taken on a toaster apparently, but the fuzzy white dashes appeared to be falling space debris over the AL/MS or thereabouts line. There were 4 in total.

#ice #river #slough #island #landscape #photography

River slough with an island towards the center with a treeline of shoreline behind it. The surface is mostly ice with the unfrozen surface giving the appearance of stillness. There is a yellow and a green kayak to the left center of the frame and a weathered dock to the right center. The foreground is covered with fallen leaves.

Calm waters of the slough leading into ice encasing an island. Reeds cast shadow over the seemingly placid water in the early morning light.
