This is my main blog. I'll eventually (Ha!) move political things and snark to a side blog, maybe called, well, I don't know what to call it. Maybe the Donkey Snide Blog. If I have posted anything that's a copyright violation or otherwise inappropriate. Just let me know what it is, the day it appeared and I'll remove it. Empty blogs will be blocked.

Somewhere in the West

Continuing my month-long series of posts on New Mexico and the Great Divide: here's two images taken in Fort Bayard, just east of bit of Silver City. Here's some history of the place...

Founded in 1866, Fort Bayard at first provided security (mainly by African-American “Buffalo Soldiers”) against Native American attacks on settlers during the settlement of the region in the 19th century. It was then converted into the army’s first tuberculosis sanitarium, and later became a VA hospital. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2004 (source).

While I did shoot some of the grander buildings (in various states of repair), I show here two made of small simple dwellings for soldiers or patients. Two images by Richard; taken April 4th 2026.

every time i heard "far-right" i just assume they mean right-wing general. basically means nothing to me now.

Half of Bill Clinton's stated policy positions would be considered "far-right" today. That's how far left the left has gone.

A Sunwing pilot lost his job after sending a food order featuring fried chicken and watermelon to a Black supervisor. Here's what happened.

1 June 2026

Sunwing Airlines has fired one of its pilots after he placed a catering order that included fried chicken and watermelon, then sent it to a Black supervisor. The story has sparked conversations about workplace conduct, racial stereotypes, and how airlines handle internal discrimination complaints.

Here's what you need to know about the incident and what happened next.

What happened on the flight

The incident took place on a Sunwing flight returning from Jamaica. According to reports, the pilot placed a catering request that listed fried chicken and watermelon, two foods long associated with racist stereotypes targeting Black people in North America. The order was then forwarded to a Black supervisor at the airline.

The supervisor flagged the order, and Sunwing launched an internal review. The airline confirmed the pilot is no longer employed with the company.

In a statement, Sunwing said the pilot's actions did not reflect the company's values. The airline told the National Post that it takes "all reports of inappropriate conduct seriously" and that it investigated the matter as soon as it was raised.
