Donald #Trump has been fixated in public pronouncements on "retribution," and #MAGA ally Steve #Bannon has invoked a Confederate code phrase - "Come Retribution" - tied in with a plan to take hostage & assassinate Abraham #Lincoln during the #CivilWar, according to Jonathan Karl's new book:

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/02/steve-bannon-book-trump-speech

A 1988 review of another book on the topic touches on this, and the phrase is also mentioned in an 1896 description of a #Confederate museum in #Richmond:

I am using #LAN and glad to report 'mutant' deer are still a thing in #Richmond #Park. These are the first ones to be culled and shipped off to #New #Zealand by #professional hit men.

I believe it is time for these #dears to be let out into the #surrounding #urban #jungle to learn the ways of cars, dogs and #starving vegans.

They have been doing it with cows in India for #millennia. It is time to be #kind. As always. It is a high risk #strategy

California city first in U.S. to officially back Palestinians, accuses Israel of ‘ethnic cleansing’

#Richmond, Calif. City Council voted early Wednesday to support the Palestinian people of the Gaza Strip with a resolution that accuses Israel of “ethnic cleansing and collective punishment” nearly three weeks after war broke out in the Middle East.

The resolution is believed to be the first rejection of Israel's actions by a U.S. city after the Oct. 7 attack carried out by Hamas on Israel.

Councilmember Cesar Zepeda cast the lone vote not to support the resolution, recognizing the issue as divisive.

“Let’s call out the atrocities that Hamas has done on the Israel communities and the atrocities the Israeli government has done on the Palestinian people,” Zepeda said, requesting a revised resolution. He said he wanted the city to “bring everyone together in a community for peace.”

Although a majority of speakers backed the council’s resolution, others disagreed with how the City Council broached the topic and language that was used.

The Jewish Community Relations Council in San Francisco condemned the city’s actions and in a statement said that, although the council had amended the resolution, it remained “inflammatory and biased.” The group also noted “the vitriol of resolution supporters” at the meeting.
The Arab Resource & Organizing Center in San Francisco thanked Richmond for taking a stance on the issue.
“We are you with you as the tide shifts across the US, as more decision makers echo the calls of the masses and rise up in support for Palestinian freedom,” the group said in a statement. “We have a long way to go, and we are proud that the Bay Area is leading the charge.”

No BRT, no RapidBus: Richmond City Council rejects TransLink's proposed route to Metrotown

In a meeting Monday evening, Richmond City Council overwhelmingly rejected any endorsement of #TransLink’s proposal to establish a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service linking Richmond & Burnaby

I’ve seen many in white, too!

Most species are native to eastern Asia and the Himalayan region, but smaller numbers occur elsewhere in Asia, and in North America, Europe and Australia.

Fun fact; there exists, 1,024 different species of Rhododendron 😳🙌

Two houses with a narrow gap between them and at the back of the Gap is a door and a window to a narrow house? Can't be more than 4 ft wide!

The irony in the ‘Rich Men North of #Richmond

“One of the most common misconceptions about Jim Crow is that it came directly out of the defeat of Reconstruction. But #JimCrow — a system of #WhiteSupremacist class rule — wasn’t a response to Reconstruction as much as it was a response to the aftermath of Reconstruction, when biracial coalitions of laboring men and their allies continued to vie for power and influence”

Text Shot: You may have heard about Oliver Anthony, a Virginia-based folk singer who has become a conservative folk hero on account of his populist anthem, “Rich Men North of Richmond.”

But Anthony’s populism is, as Eric Levitz details for New York magazine, decidedly right-wing.

Resentment of inequality and the precariousness of working-class life pervades the rest of the song too. But Anthony persistently channels these resentments away from the bosses and shareholders who profited off his ill-compensated labor and onto targets sanctioned by conservative orthodoxy: tax-hiking politicians, pedophilic cabals, and obese welfare moochers.

An Experiment to Fight Pandemic-Era Learning Loss Launches in #Richmond

After intense opposition and skepticism, two elementary #schools opened 20 days early to help #students make up for what they missed during the time of #RemoteLearning.

The first question: Would kids show up in the middle of #summer for extra schooling?

“The cost of upgrading the #dikes that protect the low-lying #IsthmusOfChignecto and prevent Nova Scotia from becoming a defacto island: $300 million. The bill for #Richmond—the fourth-largest city in metropolitan #Vancouver, which includes the #VancouverInternationalAirport—to raise its own dikes against rising seas: $1 billion.”

216 years ago today, on Aug. 3, 1807, in #Richmond, #Virginia, Chief Justice #JohnMarshall opened the trial of former vice president #AaronBurr. The charge: #treason against the #UnitedStates. Burr was accused of plotting an armed insurrection against the government.

Streetartwall. On the beige concrete wall to a parking deck is the mural of a woman bathing in a strawberry jar, sprayed/painted. In the middle of a large jar full of strawberries and red juice sits sideways a naked, blue-haired woman with a red headband in her hair. She has drawn up her knees and is holding her head up with her eyes closed. A small bird sits on the rim of the strawberry glass. A little eroticism and irony with a lot of strawberries.
Info:
Mateusz Gapski aka Bezt and
Przemek Blejzyk aka Sainer 
compose the graffiti duo Etam Cru.
Together they paint massive murals that are often several stories tall. When they paint together, Sainer generally paint people and Bezt focuses on animals. Most of their murals are infused with melancholy, they also play with humour and sarcasm. Together they have painted large-scale murals throughout Europe as well as in the USA, Australia and Dubai.

Can America’s Students Recover What They Lost During the Pandemic?

Disastrous test scores increasingly show how steep a toll the COVID-19 era exacted on students, particularly minorities.

Schools are grappling with how to catch up, and the experience of one city shows how intractable the obstacles are.

#Internships are also available in #Richmond VA in visual content.

The field photography position would probably be like our architectural photography field team where a central dispatch directs where and what to shoot and it will be professionally monitored/managed. I.e. it will be work, no sitting in front of TacoBell all day.

Interns would need a transport and real camera and be reimbursed mileage.

Streetartwall. On a one-story concrete wall next to a high passage is sprayed / painted a mural of a witch with a magic wand. The background is a green rectangular frame in which an orange-yellow background was painted. On it is a blue witch with black coat and huge pointed magic hat with flowers on it. The eyes are not visible, but she is smiling. In her hands she holds a magic wand, which turns out to be a paint roller with extension. Over the nice witch are drawn filigree red floral patterns.
Infos about "Walpurgisnacht" :
Walpurgis Night, also known as Witches' Night or Free Night, takes place on the night between April 30 and May 1. Legends say that on Walpurgis Night the witches got on their brooms and rode together to Blocksberg (Mount "Brocken" in the Harz Mountains). There they hold a great feast and dance around the fire. Afterwards, the witches kiss the devil and get married to him. In return, they receive a witch's mark and the ability to perform magic.
In the so-called free night or "prank night", it is custom to do nonsense and to play a prank on others with unhooking doors, toilet paper - embellishments etc. A little bit like Halloween in Europe ...

#NoelCounihan - "The High Mark" - 1947

Yesterday's #AFL season-opener was a knickergripper!

With barely a minute left, #Carlton were beating #Richmond by 6 points (which is what one goal gets you). They stormed forward, looking to seal the win, but gave the ball away. Quick as a flash, Richmond swept up the other end and scored to snatch a draw - rare in #AussieRules!

A game of Australian Rules football, painted in a wild and lively style, with a crowd of spectators in the background. In the foreground, a player from each team (one in red, one in black and white stripes) are leaping high together, trying to catch the ball, while another player lurks to pick up any crumbs. Taking a high mark, as it's called, is one of the great spectacles of Australian sport.

These are moon rocks. Found on the Dinosaur Trail QLD.
If you look at the first rock you can see a fossilised Ammonite shell and also some small mussel type shells.
They grow from a "seed" possibly a fossil or bit of sand. The end result is like concrete. Well preserved fossils can be found in the centres of some.
The moon rocks here are large boulders. They grow into all different sizes.
