Found a genuine Jack Cartwright vintage slate top walnut coffee table at an antique store today. Fantastic find for my living room, dimensions fit perfectly.
$2,250 online in similar condition, I paid $1,550 after tax. Another deal. Yes it’s an expensive table, but it’s a quality made piece of furniture which will hold its value well over the years if taken care of.

The Day for Those Who Matter Most
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers
This is a column I wrote 18 years ago, and it remains every bit as relevant now as it was on the day it was written.
#MothersDay is, to be honest, somewhat of an annoyance. It's manifestly one of those tedious Hallmark holidays wherein everyone is supposed to run out and support the revenue stream of cardboard manufacturers in the name of expressing gratitude to mothers, fathers, grandparents and anyone else to whom we might be related.
I imagine it won't be long until Sept. 18 is declared Anonymous Sperm Donor's Day, which will probably be celebrated by giving matching card sets to one's two mommies and lighting a candle for dear old anonymous sperm donor, whoever he might be.
Mothers are not only important, they are absolutely vital due to their position as front-line shock troops in the ongoing, centuries-long struggle for the survival of Western civilization. Despite the fact that their maternal instinct has been harassed, criticized, mocked, belittled and subjected to a 40-year effort to indoctrinate it out of existence, our mothers stubbornly continue doing the only thing we actually need women to do in order for our civilization to survive, bearing and raising children.
We don't need female doctors. We don't need female scientists. We don't need female entrepreneurs. We don't need female producers of PowerPoint presentations. And we really don't need female politicians.
While we can argue about whether such luxuries are beneficial or detrimental to society, there is no arguing the empirical evidence which proves that civilization has survived without them before and could easily do so again.
But without mothers, there is no civilization.
Without mothers, there is no future for the civilized. Europe is in the process of discovering what a world without mothers is like. It is an ugly picture, a brutal picture. It is a probable future that promises to be much worse than the most exaggerated images of past patriarchal oppression ever painted by Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinhem. Without mothers, there is only barbarism and the choice between the brothel and the burqa.
Motherhood is a sacrifice. It may mean putting off a college education and a career, or even giving them up entirely. It may mean sacrificing a flawless figure. It may mean sacrificing dreams. It definitely means putting two, three, four or more lives ahead of your own. But motherhood is also an expression of hope. Motherhood is a vote of confidence in the future of mankind. Motherhood is the brave voice of a woman saying, "I will not live life for today. I will create life for many tomorrows."
Cards, gifts and flowers are no adequate expressions of gratitude for this living statement of faith.
In the ongoing war against Christian civilization, it is the mothers who matter most. The sterile secularists don't fear Christian intellectuals or Christian pastors, they regard the former as petty annoyances and there's little need to worry about one weekly hour of Christian teaching on Sundays overcoming 40 hours of secular reprogramming from Monday to Friday. But they fear our mothers who can create children faster than they can manage to indoctrinate them. And they are downright terrified of our homeschooling mothers who rob them of their primary means of creating a new generation of secular barbarians.
Every time a woman says "I do," every time a wife turns to her husband and says "let's have another baby," every time a mother hugs her child and says "how would you like me to be your teacher?" she is striking a powerful blow in defense of her faith, her family, her church and God. We should celebrate these bold decisions – these audacious acts – as victories, not just for the family and the faith, but for civilization and mankind.
It is not enough to thank our mothers. We owe them a debt that cannot be repaid. But we can, and we must, love them, honor them, support them and sustain them as they faithfully continue to wage their mother's war.

Friedrich Engels: It is the essence of bourgeois socialism to want to maintain the basis of all the evils of present-day society and at the same time to want to abolish the evils themselves. As already pointed out in The Communist Manifesto, the bourgeois socialist 'is desirous of redressing social grievances in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society,' he wants 'a bourgeoisie without a proletariat.' We have already seen that Dr. Sax formulates the question in exactly the same fashion. The solution he finds in the solution of the housing question. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Silvia Carrasco : « Ils nous assimilent à l’extrême droite pour tenter de nous salir. »
Depuis six ans, j'analyse la pénétration de l'idéologie transgenre au sein des établissements d'enseignement comme l'exemple le plus évident du retour de bâton du patriarcat néolibéral. Il s'agit d'idées néfastes pour les enfants, qui enrichissent les grandes entreprises pharmaceutiques et ouvrent la voie à l'expérimentation du transhumanisme. En outre, ces idées détruisent les droits des femmes parce qu'elles nient la réalité matérielle du sexe et occultent ainsi l'origine de notre oppression. De plus, elles détournent le concept du « genre », qui désigne les attributs qui infériorisent les femmes et naturalisent notre subordination, en en faisant une identité basée sur des stéréotypes sexistes. Les politiques d'égalité entre les sexes sont anéanties si tout homme qui se déclare femme est reconnu comme telle par la loi.

Synopsis:
Depuis plus de 5 ans, Basel Adra, un activiste palestinien en Cisjordanie, filme l’expulsion de sa communauté par l'occupation israélienne qui détruit progressivement les villages et chasse ses habitants. Il rencontre Yuval, un journaliste israélien, qui le soutient dans ses démarches. Une amitié inattendue voit le jour. Ce film réalisé par un collectif palestino-israélien de quatre jeunes militants a été réalisé comme un acte de résistance créative sur la voie d'une plus grande justice.
================
Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini
est un cinéaste et militant des droits de l'homme palestinien. En 2024, il co-réalise le documentaire No Other Land, qui remporte l'Oscar du meilleur film documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars le 2 mars 2025.
Il a travaillé comme agriculteur, photographe et chercheur. Il est bénévole pour l'organisation israélienne de défense des droits de l'homme B'Tselem en tant que chercheur sur le terrain.
En 2024, il co-réalise, aux côtés de Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, le film documentaire No Other Land de 2024, sur les colonies israéliennes et la violence en Cisjordanie. En 2025, Le film est acclamé par la critique, remportant l'Oscar du meilleur long métrage documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars,.
Le 24 mars 2025, Hamdan Ballal, est agressé à son domicile à Susya, dans le sud de la Cisjordanie, par des colons israéliens armés. Blessé et ensanglanté, il est évacué en ambulance, mais des soldats israéliens entrent dans l'ambulance et embarquent Hamdan Ballal. Deux autres Palestiniens sont également arrêtés, sans contact possible avec leur avocate. Il est relâché par les autorités israéliennes 24 heures après (25 mars 2025), ayant passé selon son avocate « la nuit menotté et les yeux bandés dans une base militaire (israélienne), tandis que deux soldats le rouaient de coups ». Selon Ouest France « ce harcèlement violent des villageois palestiniens est désormais quotidien en Cisjordanie occupée » et une « mise en abime » de son documentaire.
Yuval Abraham
est un journaliste d'investigation et réalisateur israélien.
Il apprend l’arabe en partie grâce à l’un de ses grands-pères, originaire du Yémen. Une de ses grands-mères est née dans un camp de concentration italien en Libye et une partie de sa famille a été tuée pendant l’Holocauste. Grâce à sa maîtrise de la langue, qu’il enseigne en Israël en parallèle de ses premiers reportages dans des médias israéliens, comme le magazine +972, il participe à des actions pour empêcher les colons israéliens de détruire des maisons palestiniennes, en territoires occupés, en s’installant sur place dans des familles de Cisjordanie.
En 2020, Yuval Abraham crée la plate-forme We Beyond the Fence (« Nous au-delà du mur »), avec Ahmed Alnaouq, un journaliste palestinien : le site propose des textes, traduits en hébreu, qui racontent le quotidien des Palestiniens de l’enclave sous blocus depuis 2007. Le projet est de faire entendre à un public israélien les « voix palestiniennes », après avoir mis en place une idée similaire, en anglais, sur We Are NOT Numbers ! (« Nous ne sommes pas des nombres »), dès 2014. Le projet s’arrête brusquement en novembre 2023, quand 21 membres de la famille d’Ahmed Alnaouq sont tués dans une frappe aérienne de l’armée israélienne.
Il révèle pendant la guerre de Gaza l'existence du programme militaire d’intelligence artificielle Lavender (« lavande »), qui, au moyen d’algorithmes, a automatisé l’identification de cibles. Ce système a été largement utilisé au cours de cette guerre par l'armée israélienne pour déclencher des frappes aériennes responsables de milliers de morts civils. Il révèle également les pressions du Mossad contre la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) pour l’empêcher d'enquêter sur Israël. Il dispose de nombreux contacts dans le renseignement israélien.
Basel Adra (ou Al-Adra)
est un réalisateur, avocat et journaliste palestinien.
Il a documenté les tentatives de Tsahal (Forces de défense israéliennes) d'expulser les villageois palestiniens de la Cisjordanie occupée et les violences commises par les colons israéliens.
Adra est aussi activiste et photographe bénévole pour B'Tselem. Il travaille comme journaliste pour les publications en ligne +972 Magazine et Local Call avec le photojournaliste Oren Ziv, qui a écrit l'article de +972 Magazine suite aux allégations de Channel 12 contre al-Adra.
En 2022, il a été agressé alors qu'il filmait les FDI en train de démolir une structure qu'il avait construite, et détenu dans des conditions difficiles après avoir filmé une attaque d'un coordinateur de la sécurité de l'armée israélienne en 2023.
En 2021, les organes de presse HaKol HaYehudi et Channel 12 ont accusé al-Adra d'avoir mis le feu à un bâtiment dans les collines d'Hébron (Cisjordanie), affirmant qu'il avait tenté de faire porter le chapeau de l'incident à des colons juifs et à des soldats des Forces de défense israéliennes (FDI). Les images des caméras corporelles utilisées par Channel 12 montrent au contraire que l'incendie a été provoqué par une grenade lacrymogène tirée par l'armée israélienne et que l'on voit al-Adra tenter de l'éteindre. Depuis lors, Channel 12 News et les médias de droite en Israël n'ont pas réussi à fournir de preuves à l'appui de leurs allégations contre al-Adra, et la chaîne d'information a déclaré qu'elle n'avait pas l'intention d'enquêter plus avant sur l'incident.
Rachel Szor
est une réalisatrice, scénographe et directrice de la photographie israélienne.
Elle a fait ses débuts de réalisatrice avec le documentaire No Other Land, coréalisé avec Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Hamdan Ballal, dont la première a eu lieu au Festival du film de Berlin 2024. Cette œuvre lui a valu l'Oscar du meilleur documentaire.

Like I'm seriously considering adding #California under all my photos. Which seems very silly and stupid, cause it's not like anyone else on this website is using #Germany under their posts.
However, I'm like, proudly Californian. Much more so than I am proud of being American, at this specific moment. And with the constant barrage of negative news under that hashtag, I would like to bring at least a bit of positivity into that otherwise negative space.
Especially since the majority of the negative news about California is hyperbolic and astroturfed, funded by MAGA and MAGA sympathizers afraid of successful counternarratives to their agenda.
Trump's fear of California and his preventative measures to counteract Californian policies and politicians have been well-documented now in books such as “Fight” by Jonathan Allen & Amie Parnes and “Revenge” by Alex Isenstadt, just to name a few.
We now know that the increase in right-wing talking points against California towards the latter half of the last election season is due to the Trump campaign's fear of Joe Biden dropping out and California Governor Gavin Newsom taking his place on the ballot.
As rumors about Newsom's potential presidential candidacy continue to grow, and as our attorney general, Rob Bonta, steps down from seeking higher office to better focus on suing MAGA for their crimes against democracy, I just know there's gonna be an increase in negativity against my home.
I know that people will once again tear apart the policies that have improved millions of lives and the safety of this planet, for not improving *all* lives and outright *saving* this planet.
Because to MAGA and MAGA sympathizers, striving toward salvation without attaining it is no different than being damned.
Obviously, there's not much I can do about that kind of prejudice. But with the importance of hashtags in timeline curation on Mastodon, I think changing how I write mine to add a little cheer into someone's doomscrolling routine is a net benefit for the health of Fedi.
Anyways, tl;dr: I apologize to everyone who has ever boosted my photos for the notification spam in advance, part 2.
@maybeanerd That's absolutely true, I just felt Germany was an appropriate example as it's the closest nation-state to California's economic output.
bbc.com/news/articles/cly80zlk…
California often functions as a nation, culturally and politically. Its presence in the national news is not unlike the United States' presence in global news. No other state or province accurately compares to it in that regard, so any other analogy I could make would've been even weaker.

The Benefits To Alberta Becoming a American State,
( Best parts of the talk 😀
The amount of investment our agricultural and energy industries would see with companies listing on the NYSE or NASDAQ vs the TSX would be astronomical.
Likewise, without the foreign exchange volatility in dealing with the Canadian dollar, capital would flood into the province, seeing a sustained economic boom unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
The Alberta oil industry struggles constantly to ride market price increases because of the very small pool of labour we can attract to actually implement large energy products.
We almost drained the entire province of Newfoundland in the last boom, and it still wasn’t enough to meet up with labour demands. That isn’t a problem with over 325 million Americans who could cross into our border without any kind of a passport or work visa.
All those factors would also be a boon to all our secondary industries as well: forestry, mining, tech, tourism and financial services.
Cost of living would fall like a stone and living standards would consistently increase.
Then there’s the strength of The American Constitution which actually has meaningful protections for the right to keep and bear arms, property rights, and most importantly freedom of speech.
Oh… and the Oilers and Flames might actually be able to win the Stanley Cup.
( No Canadian team can win because the American teams pay better and players aren’t taxed to de@th as they are in Canada. / That’s why the best Canadian talent moves to the US (and not just in hockey).
