Simon and I can’t add a graphic to a post, and yet other AZ members can. Does anyone else have this problem?
With me, at least, I also cannot look at graphics that I’ve uploaded in the past… I get a wordpress error.-
I have no oversight to the coding or folder permissions but check to ensure the site’s wp-content/uploads/ folder is writable.-
So I learned (duh!) that I can’t log into that directory via ftp. However, just accidentally discovered I could use rtmedia access (already forgot how!) to upload a graphic successfully. However, I have a bigger, unrelated question now for all of us that I’ll start a new thread for…

Politics 11 months agoI rarely pay attention to up-to-the-minute news. But living in Trumpian times is unlike other times in US history. I heard news that Vance visited one of the Murdochs a few days ago, so the 25th amendment may become relevant? To be honest, I’ve lost sleep in some recent days.

Got cynicism? Hate-spreading people should call others a real life, genderless hate-invoking last name like “Trump” — who’s Donald routinely calls women “nasty” — instead of incidentally bashing a lot of innocent young girls named Karen.

I took a junior college level course four or five years ago in Cultural Anthropology. I don’t remember any sites in this topic mentioned in the text book, although (apparently) we started discovering these sites in the 1990s.

That afternoon light, like fate in a fistfight.
Street was a stage, collision was script—

Organs strung out, nerves all twisted,

Wow. First thought, they must have been able to find a lot of meat; second thought there must have been a lot more natural, edible plants back then. I confirmed with AI, and saw lots of other good info and research on this topic. While “only 5%” of this area has been dug up! And there are some similar sites not far away.

That all makes sense. Yes, you’re a good writer. Here, only Jake invokes more esoteric vocab and poetic-licensed creativity. Enco kinda does that too, but I don’t have the time to look up a lot of his historic references. History was my worst percentile score in high school, along with other Humanities.
