This is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, so we get to see even more classic cars than usual.

Leaving brunch just now, this lovely 62 Lincoln Continental was in the parking lot. One of my favorite cars of all time.

Today in Labor History February 1, 1865: President Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery. However, the 13th Amendment does not abolish all forms of slavery. The state is still permitted to force prisoners to work for free, or for wages far below the minimum wage. They are even allowed to do this and sell the products made by prisoners for a profit, sometimes even getting tax breaks for doing so. And, so long as capitalism exists, wage slavery will still persist. Sadly, with the right-wing backlash against everything “woke,” politicians and pundits successfully convinced California voters to vote against Prop 6, which would have banned prison slave labor in their state.

The Liberal Club, as was, on St Swithins Square, Lincoln, England.
So what do we think this fine building will become? Student accommodation, luxury apartments, retail and office space, or another identikit sticky carpet pub?

@DrALJONES

this is a well known bug in the #twelfthamendment

the last time it happened was 1824, the house voted and that gave us president #johnquincyadams and defeated #andrewjackson who had the most popular votes

(and the anger from that led to the creation of the #democratic party- a very different party from today, like #lincoln's #republican party is nothing at all like the #GOP today)

the question is: can #MAGA engineer a tie?

i don't think that it could

i fear being proven wrong

Nice! We don't get to see it often in Curiosity's raw images: the MAHLI Calibration Target, with its 1909 Lincoln penny, and, if you look very carefully, a very tiny cartoon figure of "Joe the Martian".

Walkway to the State Capitol

A paved walkway leads towards the Nebraska State Capitol, in the distance, lined with lush green trees and modern street lamps. The sky is partly cloudy, casting a soft light over the scene.

Another pictuers of today.
I spotted Lincoln Town Car hearse.
Unfortunately it's Foreign-Style, not Japanese-Style.

BTW, I don't know well about American saloon car. Which model year is this?

Lincoln Cathedral, taken in 2005. I don't recommend anyone try to take a similar shot, I had to stand in the middle of the road with traffic passing on both sides! #Photography #PhotographyOnMastodon #Lincoln #Cathedral
