What they’re finding when water is low because of drought

Smells like Mafia Dumping Ground.

Bodies have been found and sunken boats reemerged as Lake Mead plummets and the Colorado River shrinks. More water cuts are coming to try to save the river basin #CriminalLaw #Justice #LawEnforcement

A third set of human remains was recovered from Lake Mead on Monday, thanks to a drought that’s receded the water level at the largest reservoir in the United States to an unprecedented low.https://t.co/9IFphRiF18

One of the worst droughts on record in Europe has parched the continent’s major waterways.

This week, low water levels on the Serbian section of the Danube river exposed a graveyard of sunken German warships filled with explosives and ammunition. https://t.co/tZ2ZHUHbod

The water level in Italy's drought-stricken Po River is so low that even a WWII-era bomb reemerged.

Covers: Down South in New Orleans

The original version of “Down South in New Orleans” (as “South in New Orleans”) was by Jonnie and Jack in 1953.

The Band performed it in 1976 at the Last Waltz with Dr. John and Bobby Charles. It was on the three-record set but it’s not in the film.

Covers: Acadian Driftwood

I recommend following The Paranoid Style on Twitter. She has great posts on music. The Paranoid Style is also a band that has released albums.

“Acadian Driftwood” was recorded by The Band in 1975.

The cascading highlight of The Band’s final masterpiece ‘Northern Lights- Southern Cross’, “Acadian Driftwood” is one part history lesson and one part haunted communion with the resonances of past horrors. Music made by and for refugees. Displacement and zydeco. Tears of grief.

Covers: All You Fascists Bound To Lose

Woody Guthrie wrote the lyrics for “All You Fascists Bound To Lose” and recorded a brief version. Billy Bragg and Wilco recorded it with music by Bragg for Mermaid Avenue. Vol. II which was released in 2000.

Election deniers are winning many Republican primaries

This is terrible and will impact the 2024 elections.

More than half of Republican Senate nominees have rejected, cast doubt upon or tried to overturn the 2020 election results https://t.co/qRyx7BWyxD

Update: With overt election denier Chuck Gray's victory in Wyoming last night, there are now 11 states with Republican nominees for secretary of state (state elections chief), out of 27 races this year, who have questioned or rejected the 2020 results. https://t.co/uJDgnd4p3Y

We are aware of the Yankee fan and the hot dog ‘straw’. We appreciate your privacy at this time as we try to construct a reason as to why this would occur. It’s the wurst and frankly, he should be ashamed.

A woman discovered that her fetus was developing without a skull. The hospital denied her an abortion

In desperation, she visited a pregnancy crisis center that discourages abortions. Staff told her how to bury the baby & said their prayers were with herhttps://t.co/kGC76HHVge

Since abortion bans have taken effect, there is increased scrutiny on drugs that can be used to terminate pregnancies that also have other common uses, as well as on drugs for non-pregnancy-related conditions that are known to harm a developing fetus. https://t.co/nHwXYajV0q
