Round 1, 18 inches, Round 2 just started.

That blur in the 2nd photo is an otter who was chewing on a fish out my window on the Montreal River.

Never forget-- the "Pilgrims" turned on the Wampanoag.

Bruce Lee was born 85 years ago tomorrow (27th Nov).

Bruce's last film before his untimely death in 1973 was the hugely popular Enter The Dragon. The film inspired Lee Perry to create this unique tribute...

"If modern corporate welfare averages $170–180 billion/ year as the libertarian Cato Institute suggests for an average, and assuming similar amounts in earlier decades, then over this past 100 years that would suggest on the order of US $10–15 TRILLION in total." #corporatewelfare

Heathens

Peace is what we ask,
but war is what they give us;
letting the fresh fruit
meant to be eaten
rot away quietly
out of view.

But fuck that shit, Young Heathens!

Take up that can, that keyboard, that sign--
rewrite the bad copy they keep trying to throw on you
as Truth.

Memorize this; then share it widely!

"The concept of ' #profit ' is indeed a man-made construct, merely a metric within economic systems to measure financial gain. It is NOT a #naturallaw like gravity; rather, it is a human-invented accounting principle and social convention."
