Black on white line art, with half tones, of DanDaDan’s Momo’s Granny, looking over the top of her glasses at you, while proffering a sheet of paper with all caps lettering saying “THE BOOTS YOU LICK WILL STOMP YOU TOO”.

No. He needs to be arrested, at a minimum, for child molestation & the plundering of America. He never should have had a second chance.

Photo is of a close out store I patronize, their merchandise comes from donations. The MAHA stuff has been there for weeks now and I don’t know which gripes me more; that taxpayers $ was wasted on it, or that it was ditched so soon.

A shelf of stainless steel bottles and cups at a close out store, a sogn taped to the shelf say “Kitchen Items 25% OFF”.

Multiple white bottles with bamboo tops & bottoms are on the left, all of them have M.A.H.A. Make America Healthy Again imprinted vertically, bottom to top. A single black cup to the right says “BE ALL YOU CAN BE.”, to its right is a mug with a star & ARMY partially visible.

There’s a middlin’ imbroglio happening atm, over this (www.whitesupremacyculture.info/characterist...):

An infographic titled Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture.

Beneath the title, there are drawings of 15 vintage bottles with words on them. From the upper left, to the bottom, in order, they are:
Either/Or Thinking
Worship of the Written Word
Objectivity
Individualism
Quantity Over Quality
Power Hoarding
Fear of Open Conflict
Sense of Urgency
Defensiveness
Paternalism
Progress as TCCD Bigger & More
Belief in One Right Way
Perfectionism
Right to Comfort

More text is at the bottom, but I can’t make out everything.

The Amon Carter in Ft. Worth, TX has an excellent exhibit of Black Photojournalism from WWII through the 1980s.

Entry to the Black Photojournalism exhibition, now in progress at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.

A dividing wall has an extreme enlargement of a photo in the next room, the subject is a man of color, examining newspapers being pressed and stacked in front of him. To the left on the opposite wall, black and white photographs are mounted at head height and lead into the exhibition.

Inside the Black Photojournalism exhibition, a supersized, wall spanning, floor to ceiling portrait of Grace Jones, wearing a golden 45 RPM record, as a hat.

47 needs to find a new excuse, the “rigged election” nonsense has gotten so old it stinks on ice.

Truth Social page, with 47’s screed on Virginia:
“Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive
"Mail In Ballot Drop!" Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split. In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive. As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let's see if the Courts will fix this travesty of "Justice."

New at the Kimbell, Treasures from the Terra Sancto Museum, Jerusalem. Have more close ups from the exhibit, if interested would post.

Wall sign: left pointing arrow has the words “Piano Pavilion” behind it. Beneath, over a carmine field with “The Holy Sepulcher” in large, white serif font. Beneath that in similar, smaller font, it continues with “Treasures from the Terra Sancto Museum, Jerusalem”. To the right of the words is a close up of a bejeweled monstrance seen in the exhibition.

Model of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher

Wide angle look at the right side of the room from the enrty. Various gold and silver relics displayed in both the open, as well as in lucite cases

more.

Bryan summoned Minnesota's U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen, along with the head of the U.S. Attorney's Office's civil division and a representative from ICE to U.S. District urt in St. Paul on March 3 to "show cause why they should not be held in civil or criminal contempt."

How to write effective ALT text. 1) Focus on purpose, not appearance 2) Be concise, but complete 3) Skip “Image of” or “picture of” 4) Describe information not decoration 5) Include text that’s in the image 6) Mention color only when it’s meaningful 7) Adapt to context 8) Test with real users & assistive technology

Floating above a graphic, purple font says, in script, “Advice from the” then in thicker, wavy style it says “Psychic Debris”.

The graphic is a watery splat shape, with big googly eyes at the bottom, in front of a brain and stuff.

Inside the splash, above the googly eyes are the words “How we interact with the worlds and those around us might be the most important art form”.
