Swede’s Photographs

Holly Beach

I might have shared this image recently, but that’s perfectly fine—I wanted to clean it up a bit, though the changes are subtle. Standing there, gazing down the coastline, was incredibly relaxing. I’ve visited this beach a few times, and this might be the biggest crowd I’ve ever seen during one of my trips.

"Holly Beach in Louisiana unfolds like a tranquil canvas of land, water, and sky. The vast shoreline is composed of soft, golden sand, rippling gently beneath shallow pools that shimmer under the open sky. The tide rolls in with hushed whispers, waves cresting before they dissolve into foamy traces on the shore. A cluster of seagulls, ever-watchful, stands gathered on the wet sand—some poised elegantly while others nestle into the earth, their white and gray feathers blending seamlessly with the surroundings. In the background, a few figures stroll leisurely, silhouetted against the sea’s expanse, moving with an unhurried grace that mirrors the rhythm of the waves. Fishing poles stand like sentinels near the water’s edge, hinting at a quiet pastime as the ocean stretches far into the horizon. Above, the sky transitions from a soft, pale blue to a gentle blush of pink, casting a delicate glow that suggests either the waking hush of dawn or the dreamy descent of evening. Every element—the salty breeze, the rhythmic call of the gulls, and the golden reflection of the sun—whispers of nature’s quiet beauty, inviting visitors into its peaceful embrace." - Copilot

Swede’s Photographs

Ocean Breeze

This serene beach scene captures Holly Beach, Louisiana, nestled along the Gulf of Mexico. I last visited a couple of years ago, and the thought of returning has been on my mind ever since. Scattered along the shore are various gulls and terns, accompanied by lively sanderlings darting between the waves. While these birds add movement and charm to the scene, my true focus was the vast, rolling expanse of the gulf—an ever-changing, mesmerizing backdrop.

"Imagine standing on a peaceful beach, where the soft, light-colored sand stretches before you, touched by the gentle embrace of small rolling waves. The sky is brilliantly clear, casting an open, welcoming expanse above. Along the shore, seagulls gather—a mixture of restless motion and quiet observation. Some glide gracefully overhead, their wings slicing through the air as they ride the ocean breeze. Others remain on the sand, their slender legs carrying them in short bursts of movement as they search for morsels. The scene is filled with the sound of the waves mingling with the birds’ calls, creating a soothing coastal harmony. The untouched beauty of nature unfolds effortlessly, inviting reflection and calm." - Copilot

📢 Mexican President Sheinbaum said Friday her government filed a #lawsuit against #google for changing the #gulfofmexico to the "Gulf of America" on its US-based maps*

Sheinbaum said at her #media briefing at the National Palace in Mexico City that the government previously warned Google about the issue, but those concerns were not addressed.

Had this been Keir Starmer we would have accepted the name change and then mumbled something about Churchill
I don't see any Claudia Sheinbaum's in the Labour Party, maybe they haven't been allowed a voice yet?

“I found it sort of beneath America in the way that it took place,” #Biden said of the meeting. He also pointed to calls by #Trump to rename the #GulfOfMexico, take back the #PanamaCanal & acquire #Greenland.

“What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that? That’s not who we are,” Biden said. “We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity — not about confiscation.”

@GottaLaff
This goes beyond his usual pointless stupidity.

Renaming the #GulfOfMexico was instigated b/c he's a #racist f--k, and renaming the "#Persian" Gulf to the "#ArabianGulf" was likely spurred by his Saudi friends informing him "#Persia" was the original name of #Iran.

But beyond #CaptBoneSpurs, wiping out the name of "The Persian Gulf", it also eradicates/dismisses the place of death for thousands of American troops (that I assume would no longer appear on any map.)

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street/building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” — George Orwell, “1984”

EDITORIAL: Congress, or Trump, 'shall make no law' against journalism from the Associated Press or '60 Minutes'

‘The thin-skinned Trump, after spending years purporting unsubstantiated allegations of his political enemies “weaponizing” the government against him, and against the law, is flagrantly doing just that.’

After officially ousting out lesbian black TV comedianne #AmberRuffin as confirmed host, the thin skinned US President himself is not even expected to attend next weekend’s annual #WhiteHouse correspondents’ dinner.

The #Drumpf admin has been particularly sensitive to negative press, threatening to jail journalists, and even ousting long time #PressPool members, including a ban on the entire #AssociatedPress org from events for continuing centuries of precedence and refering to the #GulfOfMexico instead of the President's preferred term “Gulf of America”.
