Big Country’s Wonderland, from the EP of the same name.
The EP and earlier full album, The Crossing, which features the band’s most popular song, are both much enjoyed in my homestead.
Photographers Denied the Freedom To Choose What They Photograph
A woman photographer is fined under New Mexico anti-discrimination law after refusing to shoot a same-sex couple’s wedding. That’s New Mexico, of the United States, not a recent part of Mexico.

Via the Shack, where a lot of justifiable rage is being spent.
