Original Songs And Cover Versions (30) | beetleypete (Try a Little Tenderness)

This song has featured on my blog at least four times in the past, perhaps more. It may well feature again in the future, as it is one of my all-time favourites. It dates as far back as 1932, when it was originally recorded by Ray Noble and his orchestra. Many cover versions followed, including those by Ruth Etting in 1932, and Bing Crosby in 1933.

Earlier Today

#Landscape #Nature #Photography

A somewhat moody landscape, taken on an overcast day after some rain. The upper half is dominated by a dramatic, cloudy sky. The clouds are a mix of dark grey and white, but there are patches of brighter light breaking through, especially toward the center-right horizon, giving a slight "silver lining" effect. The immediate foreground features a patch of short, green grass that looks damp. To the left, a winding path cuts through the landscape. The path is clearly wet, with puddles and standing water reflecting the sky, which emphasizes the recent rainfall. A weathered wooden bench is positioned on the right side of the frame. It looks damp and perhaps a little neglected, adding a sense of solitude or contemplation to the scene. A small puddle sits on the ground just in front of it.

A UN humanitarian report reveals that Israeli forces have killed at least 40 children in the occupied West Bank this year, accounting for 20% of all Palestinian deaths. The report also states that since October 2023, at least 77 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention, and over 3,000 people have been displaced due to settler attacks in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Just learned that one of the biggest and most useful (as in has nearly everything) plant nurseries in the area (Merrifield Garden Center in Gainsville, Va) is selling its substantial plot to be converted into yet another data center. You see, instead of planting plants, here in Virginia we're planting data centers (edit, I'm not 100 percent sure who bought the land actually, which was reportedly purchased by a Black Chamber Partners LLC private equity firm).

I know drugs are not the reason #Trump wants war with Venezuela - It has the world’s largest oil reserves. By Greg Palast

“For years, I was BBC Television’s correspondent covering #Venezuela and US attempts to overthrow their elected government.

Trump invented nothing.

This is at least the fourth US-backed attempt at overthrow and assassination of a Venezuelan president.”

I met Chávez and Maduro. I know drugs are not the reason Trump wants war with Venezuela - Greg Palast

I met with Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez just days after he was kidnapped. I’ll tell you about that, and the current President Nicolas Maduro’s visit to my New York office.

Black and white macro photograph of what appear to be small baskets. These are the remains of meadow salsify flowers (Tragopogon pratensis), of which only the veins are now visible. One of these small baskets is open and in the centre of the photo, three others are more closed and are stuck to the right of the photo. Photographie macro en noir et blanc de ce qui ressemble à de petits paniers. Il s'agit de restes de fleurs de salsifis des prés (Tragopogon pratensis), dont on ne voit maintenant que les nervures.

The U.S. resistance group organizers are now asking participants to wear only "friendly costumes" to protests. That leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but it also seems like a good idea. The point of the inflatables is to point out the absurdity of the heavy handed response.

@dneary they are and were not the majority. If you have anything substantiating that claim, PLEASE, provide.

The greatest harm to democracy has been boomers unable to discern dezinfo, and becoming more and more conservturds, robbing everyone after them of the benefits they reaped from previous generations, AND the gerontocracy controlling our politics.

So, buh bye, off with them, if need be, yes.

@faraiwe Given new information: inflatable dicks and poop emojis, and a confrontational mood at protests, will alienate lots of potential allies who are our age or younger (parents of kids, empty nesters). People aged 35 and older represent the majority of the anti-Trump voters.

@faraiwe @dneary I'm actually surprised at this comment. My protest group skews heavily toward people older than I. We are happy to include people of all ages, but surprisingly, the younger cohort are split between either super engaged, or would never protest on a Saturday no matter what we do, and they state that exactly.

Winter temperatures are creeping in, but the soft greens and sunlit edges of this agave bring the warmth of summer back to life. Nature’s geometry and subtle color shifts remind us that even in colder months, there’s still heat in the details.

A small, prolific citrus tree in a large, traditionally designed ceramic pot in the sun. The pot is white decorated with elaborate blue designs, and is fat in the middle and narrows at the base and top. The tree's dark brown trunk has a little sharp swerve in the middle, and has dark green leaves, white flowers, and lots of fruit. The wall behind it is a rough peach, pink, and lavender-grey, and the tree is casting a vivid blue shadow on it.
