The Mo Grease is lecturing his acolytes, who in turn are having The Raptures.
"Yes, we will Spoil Everything !" cries Mo "All hail me ! Bring back Neil Sedaka and Gilbert O'Sullivan and stamp upon the fingers of reason and decency and progress !"
"Whaaaauugh !" cry his acolytes.
Even on a Monday in September, Chatsworth can be pretty busy so getting half decent shots "sans-peeps" was not easy. It was also pretty gloomy so these three shots are all taken at ISO 2400 f4.5 and shutter speeds of about 1/8sec or so. They were then pushed, bent and generally knocked about way beyond the bounds of common decency!

"The image of a Syrian child's lifeless body washed up on the shores of a Turkish beach this week brought the world to its knees. His name was Aylan Kurdi, and he was just three years old.
The sad reality is that Aylan was one among millions of desperate people forced to flee from war and persecution. The world is facing a global refugee crisis on a scale we've not seen since WWII, but Australia - our lucky country of a fair go for all - is not doing enough. We can do better to help these people.
We need to do better."

Great blossom trees in the front yard of this picturesque church. They didn't have the decency to stand still in the wind though, so the HDR is somewhat head-ache inducing unfortunately. Liked the sky though!
Actually I was tempted to give this a caption hinting at what the young man watering the grass was apparently doing... but decency forbids LOL! From our hotel balcony.
This year's show brought students from both Lloydminster & Vermilion campuses together to show off their style, budgeting and presentation skills. Students had a $33.33 budget each to go out into the community and purchase an outfit and appropriate accessories for a Business Awards Banquet.
They were expected to practice their budgeting skills as they shopped for their outfits. Contestants had to show a good taste in fashion and decency. Finally, contestants were tested on their presentation and interpersonal skills as they walked up and down the runway and answered questions from our ‘celebrity’ judges.
The main idea here is to challenge the notion that students have to spend a lot of money to look good for work. Most students struggle with money and this show is a fun way of capturing budgeting, fashion and presentation skills.

Been posting this every year since 2015, back when you could still screenshot streaming services, back before Frasier became “hip” and “internet ironic”, and before this “meme” was shared all over the internet.
I’ll likely still post this every year, but it’s even more prevalent this year, since “our” team is in the Super Bowl. Our city/state is absolutely mad. Stores were as crowded as Black Friday, Pop up Jersey shops at every gas station corner, people wearing their cult uniforms, calling out of work, schools opening late on Monday, sending out notices to wear green or Eagles clothing, resulting in parents having to go out to buy it, or having their child feel singled out, people making signs and banners for their yard, putting green holiday lights around their house, chanting like drunken lunatics, setting off fireworks etc. The city even has to grease sign and light posts, to prevent people from climbing them to “celebrate” or riot…read that last line again…we have to go to such ridiculous measurements just to prevent people from being animals. Utterly disgusting behavior.
I’m a very passionate person in general, and can debate art and entertainment till I’m blue in the face…but there’s absolutely NOTHING I can think of in this world that isn’t religion or politics or human decency, to make me yell and throw things at a TV screen like a child, start fights with people who like a different movie than I do, or for wearing a t-shirt of a band I dislike or hate.
Sports turn adults into immature, hateful tantrum throwing infants. But because it’s “manly” and games are treated like literal combat, that childish behavior is not only accepted and excused…even considered macho. But all I see is a big immature baby.
I’ve only watched about 10 minutes of a football in my life, and that was 10 minutes too much.
Anyway, this is my yearly reminder of how much I hate it. Have fun, and “go, “birds!!!” (Is that really that much easier to say than “Eagles”? ♂️
I've had the longest day.
pretty much the longest week. being a student full time & working as much as you can is tough business.
i've been thinking a lot about this quote lately.
not about the blind part, but the part where it's insinuating we choose who we hate and who we don't. I wish it was so easy to just "turn off" hatred.
not asking for "world peace", just some decency
listen to this. you won't regret it.
Someone pushed. Or bumped. That person did not have the common decency to pick the bikes up again. To do so would be admission of wrong-doing, and the resultant loss of face would be unthinkable for many. Its an odd country, I sometimes think to myself.
Tallinn's Old Town was, in fact, two different towns: the Lower Town â free center of Hanseatic trade â and the Toompea hill, or Upper Town â the place of concentration of feudal power and the influence of distant governments, which Estonians had to obey. The interests of these two parts were different and sometimes mutually exclusive, but they had to coexist somehow even without having any warm feelings towards each other. And if in light of day it was possible to observe decency basically, nighttime awakened the eternal desire to plunder in the nobles of Toompea, or the Upper Town. So, the lower town of merchants and craftsmen had to fence itself off with a stone wall and a powerful gate â and not only from the "outer" lands, but also from its upper neighbor, and every night, just in case, the gate was locked.
This is why on the left side of Pikk jalg (Long Leg street) there is a tower with a small oak gate leading to the street Ljuhike jalg (Short Leg street). This door clearly shows who was afraid of whom: the heads of forged rivets, which made it harder to destruct the door, are turned towards the Upper Town, while the deadbolt is on the Lower Town side.
The tower was built in 1456 and is reputed to be one of the most haunted buildings in Old Town. The wooden door is original from the 17th century.

What is there to say? Trump's election as President of the United States is a triumph of stupidity over reason, ignorance or knowledge, lies over facts, decency over base passion, fear over peace, and bigotry over tolerance. The people who voted for this excuse for a man are beyond contempt. This is my response.

Paste-up street art in San Francisco, California that defines SESTA as "State Sanctioned Elimination of Sex Workers Through Alienation" and FOSTA as "Fear Oppression Silence Terror Abolition". The Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) and Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) are the U.S. Senate and House bills that as the FOSTA-SESTA package became law on April 11, 2018. They clarify the country's sex trafficking law to make it illegal to knowingly assist, facilitate, or support sex trafficking, and amend the Section 230 safe harbors of the Communications Decency Act (which make online services immune from civil liability for the actions of their users) to exclude enforcement of federal or state sex trafficking laws from its immunity.
“The folklore of the American 1929 crash—the popular picture—is that of millionaires, jobbers, brokers, company presidents and ex-rich investors throwing themselves from the windows of the stock exchange. Now they have built that building so that that is impossible. Those deaths represented a tiny handful of people, but many more people died as a result of the 1929 crash. In the years of depression that followed 1929 and the massive unemployment that occurred in Germany, in Britain and throughout the world, many people in ordinary families committed suicide. Many people died prematurely because of inadequate diet. Many people died prematurely because of diseases that could have been cured if they had had the money to seek treatment at that time. Many infants died in the first weeks and months of life because they lived in the appalling slums that existed in the cities of the world at that time. Therefore, nobody on the Labour Benches and no Socialist makes the prediction of the coming recession with pleasure.
“In recent weeks the Conservative party, officially through the Prime Minister, has said that Socialism is dead. It has been claimed that Socialism is an outmoded philosophy and that its support among the people of Britain will soon die. However, with the pressure of the stock exchange collapse, part of the Socialist ideals has been accepted by the Conservative Government. It may be argued that the stock exchange is of no relevance to the real economy and that is true. More than 90 per cent of the transactions that take place on the world stock exchanges have absolutely nothing to do with commerce and industry. They are concerned with gambling and speculation in shares, futures and currencies. They have nothing to do with the creation of wealth on a world scale. Wealth is created by the labour of working people in productive industries.
“It is on the basis of the wealth created in the productive sectors of the economy—as the Tory amendment partly recognises—that we can pay for the civilising parts of our life: health, education, sport, culture, the arts and all the things that make life richer and more noble. The belief that that is the role of the stock exchange shows that it is not Socialism that is old fashioned, but capitalism, which has gone back to the same old process of the inter-war years.
“There have been two old-style recessions since 1975, with two weak booms in between them. We now stand on the eve of an even more devastating recession in the world economy. As we have already seen with the BP farce, much of the gloss has been taken off so-called people's capitalism. Socialism stands for collective decisions and ownership of wealth, and the direction of industrial production to the needs of people and not to a handful of stock exchange speculators who benefit the most. Such Socialism is needed. It is a system of society which will become more attractive.
“We are moving into an era of people's Socialism, not people's capitalism. It is necessary, and although we have perhaps not said it very well in recent years, what we are trying to do is to build a plateau—not for the underwriters of the BP claim, but for millions of ordinary people. I refer to a plateau of decency and reasonable living standards, on which people can develop their personal talents, personalities and more satisfactory lives.
“Today is 5 November. On this day throughout the world millions of women will spend four hours collecting water and fuel—an economic activity that is not recorded anywhere in world statistics. How ironic that people are forced to that back-breaking labour in a world of yuppies, sunrise industries, space travel and enormous technological development. What sort of system are Conservative hon. Members defending when, in times of recession, only 70 per cent. or less of human productive resources are in use and, in boom times, it is only 80 per cent.? 19 October marked the end of people's capitalism and the beginning of a popular people's Socialism.”
I am proud to have known Pat and his mate Keith Narey, it is people like this who help to make a new future, by shafting the dominant ideology. Unfortunately they were born too soon
News.com.au ran a story about Banksy today. News.com.au didn't even have the decency to check all the artwork was actually by Banksy, let alone credit the photos to their respective photographers.
If this is your photo, you should write to News.com.au and complain.
There are rules about making things beautiful... you have to want to do the maintanence with devoted regularity. Bless you Ronnie for being a beacon of pride and decency and doing the right thing. I thought the light did justice to your beautiful car at the break of a new day. This is a lovely face.
The contrast of this early summer scene to what images and reporting from Ukraine's cities beat down by explosives night and day and then once occupied by piratical uniformed Russian troops could not be from dramatic. In this scene the constitutional rights, in addition to universal declaration of human rights to exist, all can be visualized. But where city services and infrastructure is destroyed and mass graves turn up in neighborhoods of small towns and big cities where the Russians have lain their greedy hands, little or no human decency survives.

They should have their guitars confiscated by the Music Police of Taste and Decency. Especially when their songs are interspersed by anti-Islamic rantings.
Seems like they just let go of any outward sense of respect and decency, except the fancy cars. Wouldn't living in an apartment be better?
The fact that I had to take these pictures pisses me off beyond belief. We were walking to the car to run some errands and do some wedding registry stuff (Yay!)
However when we were walking by the swimming pool area we saw these two chairs situated as a step-stool for people to get over the fence and either into or out of the pool area. In the past we have also seen the gate jimmied in such a way that it won’t latch. There are children that live/play in our complex. The last thing that needs to happen is one of these children to get into the pool area and have some sort of accident. It bothers me that people just don’t have common sense or enough respect to follow the posted rules or the law of common sense to latch the gate and not place items close to the fence line.
What is our world coming to?
When did people lose self respect and common decency?
We have mentioned it to the office. We were glad to know that we we’re the only ones to say something. Only time will what will happen with these people.

White-throated Sparrow at the boy scout sparrow patch this afternoon. Congrats to Lamont McLachlan for finding it. Thanks to Jeff Kozma for sharing the announcement of Lamont's find. I went over and sat on a log round off to the side of the blind and watched loads of sparrows. After Homo sapien, the greatest biomass of any animal species was certainly House Sparrows, and the din from them was quite loud, making it tough to hear the chips of other species. Listening to chips helps me spot the less common species. Not here today. At one point there were more than 60 House Sparrows feeding together within 15' of me. Even as flighty and easily spooked as House Sparrows are, I didn't scare them off by sitting in plain view. Eventually this White-throated Sparrow sneaked into view through the pile of sticks.
A flush is a good thing in poker or a toilet, but not in birding. When a local problem lister, Denny, showed up and flushed the birds, I left.

Hundreds of people gathered in Plano for two rallies; a morning one and an afternoon one. We protest the continuing evil, stupidity and graft of Trump, the Republican Party, MAGA, and anyone who supports them. It is critical that this evil man and his accomplices in crime be voted out of office come November. Vote and stop this wanna-be dictator and his fascist party once and for all.

JOURNEY OF THE JEDI #13 OF 25
Imbalance in The Force
When Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side, his inherent instincts for decency and mercy became completely submerged. With grim finality, he sought out his fellow Jedi and slaughtered them without a second thought. These dramatic actions created a keenly-felt imbalance in the Force, a sense of elemental disruption that could only be quelled by Anakin's eventual redemption. Luke Skywalker provided the emotional impetus for that years later, restoring galactic balance once again.

Back in the mid-1990's I needed an apartment, but the rental market was insanely competitive. I made an appointment to see an apt. in this building. It was really cute with a corner bench kitchen table. But the landlady was quite batty. I told her I wanted to sign a lease, she said great. However, the people who came in ahead of me were still there and protested that she had already promised it to them and they were signing a lease. I let it go not so much out of human decency, but out of fear of having an absent-minded landlord.
The next week I got the Sunday paper on Saturday night, made an appointment for a place a block from Fahey's. The landlord said I seemed like a nice girl so he canceled the rest of his appointments and let me sign on the spot. I had no remorse.
Naches (1947) dir. Ernst Lubitsch.
Jack Benny stars as Maxwell, a retired widower and a fixture of Chicago's Douglas Park neighborhood. Taking place over a single day, this largely plotless film follows Maxwell's interactions with his neighbors as they look for a missing cat, shop for the right pair of candlesticks, and attend a wedding reception. Deceptively simple, the film's quotidian concerns are shot through with Lubitsch's sophistication and elegance, while Benny creates an unforgettable portrait out of small gestures and turns of phrase. Made up of Benny and Lubitsch's memories growing up Jewish in Chicago and Berlin, Naches is an unassuming epic of profound decency and kindness.
Big Daddy Weave, Mark Schultz and Building 429 came to our church for a "Reclaim Our Culture Kentuckiana" Concert. It was to raise the level of decency in our community and to stand together against the growing porn industry.
Jimmy Carter (born 1924)
When Americans elected Jimmy Carter in 1976, they were voting for a positive change in executive leadership. Burdened by escalating costs of living and tired of recent scandal-ridden politics, they saw Carter as a fresh new face who would make, in his words, government “as good as the American people.” A born-again Christian, Carter touted his human decency to heal the divisions of post-Vietnam American society while also promising to fix the economy. Stemming high inflation, however, proved to be harder than he had predicted. Nor could he do much to ease the ongoing energy crisis, instigated by the cartel of oil producing nations, and characterized by a shortage of gas for consumers at the pumps and high costs for home heating oil. In 1978, Carter successfully brokered a landmark peace accord between Egypt and Israel, but the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, spurred by the U.S. support of the unpopular Shah of Iran, crippled the last year of his administration. He lost a reelection bid to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
In this portrait by Robert Templeton, Carter is shown standing in the oval office, as it was during his tenure. The donkey statuette on his desk was a gift from the Democratic National Committee.
