The image features two glasses filled with a reddish-brown liquid, likely a cocktail, placed on a white surface. Each glass has a textured, honeycomb-like pattern and contains ice cubes. The glasses are garnished with decorative stirrers: one with a silver anchor and the other with a green and silver octopus. In the background, a bottle of Doctor Bird Jamaica Rum is visible, with its label prominently displayed. The label includes the brand name "Doctor Bird," the type of rum "Jamaica Rum," and a depiction of a bird. The overall setting suggests a casual, possibly festive atmosphere, with the drinks being the focal point.

Took a hike to a dead tree that has a nice collection of Tinder Polypores. The top of the tree snapped off and is on the other side of the trail.
On the standing tree, the mushrooms are like hooves all facing the same direction so that spores would fall downward. On the fallen section, you can see they’re facing two directions: one, like the standing tree, old ones that grew in before it fell, and two, the fresher ones, pointing toward the “new” down.

Download 10,000 of the First Recordings of Music Ever Made, Courtesy of the University of California-Santa Barbara via Open Culture
[Shared]Long before vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs and MP3s came along, people first experienced audio recordings through another medium — through cylinders made of tin foil, wax and plastic. In recent years, we’ve featured cylinder recordings from the 19th century that allow you to hear the voices of Leo Tolstoy, Tchaikovsky, Walt Whitman, Otto von Bismarck and other historic figures. Those recordings were originally recorded and played on a cylinder phonograph invented by Thomas Edison in 1877. But those were obviously just a handful of the cylinder recordings produced at the beginning of the recorded sound era.

The image features a vintage Edison Records cylinder and its protective sleeve. The cylinder is cylindrical with a light brown color and a label that reads "EDISON RECORDS WHO ALL OVER THE WORLD." The label is ornate, with decorative elements and text in a serif font. The top of the cylinder is open, revealing a green paper insert with the text "No. 4705 Minstrel Record. Three Minutes with the Minstrels." The insert is partially pulled out, showing the text clearly. Next to the cylinder is a matching protective sleeve, also light brown, with a threaded top, indicating it was designed to fit over the cylinder. The background is black, providing a stark contrast to the objects.

The hypocrisy of the GOP is astounding. The GOP party cares only for itself, lacking all principles of good government and American constitutionalism. progressivecafe.social/@TonySt…
In the last 40 years the only party that cut the deficit is the Democrats. That's true whether you believe it or not. Raise taxes on the top and the math "magically" works, but Republicans want to give the top more tax cuts.This bill also removes a $200 tax on gun silencers that has been in effect since 1932.
Your gun silencer is cheaper but you lose Medicaid. How nice. Priorities.
