Whew gas prices near home. I paid 10 cents less per gallon because I shop at Giant but war vs Iran is running my pockets.

Probably because I used the term “clanker” in reference to GenAI. Ah well.

Why have a boring arrow represent you on the map when you can have a vaguely Link-like figure instead? Regime noncompliance *and* a bit of whimsy in a single download.

I learned just this week that my parents kept and still use this pillowcase from a twin sheet set for my bunk bed.
A faded Return of the Jedi pillowcase from my childhood.

Some of the most aggressively anti-fash stuff was inside the Jewish American History Museum (where Trump can’t get at it).
Art piece from my 2022 trip to the Jewish-American History Museum depicting an ICE agent in a KKK hood. Another piece from my 2022 trip to the Jewish-American History Museum which replaces the American eagle with a chimeric beast with the claws of an eagle holding M-16s, an eagle’s tail, black wings, and a 
KKK hooded head with a red necktie beneath it.

Whoever is holding that sign thinks they’re being clever and subtle—they aren’t. Mrs. Obama and her husband left the White House a decade ago and this idiot got out their markers to call Michelle Obama a man.

Yes, I used the word “clanker” to describe a humanoid robot that ran a half-marathon. It’s an impressive technical feat, compared to the “did not finish” results of last year. But I feel a way about the news talmbout the robot broke a record set by people.
A Listifications screenshot of me being added to a list of AI Slur Users.  Presumably because I called a marathoning robot a clanker.

A super-fun read. And as tacky little references for human memory go, since St. Louis comes up in your piece more than once 😏

Reminds of the exhibit I saw at the Schomberg a couple of years ago. Named for a book by Dr. André Brock, it included these and other DuBois infographics. Everything Edward Tufte has written numerous books about, DuBois did many decades earlier.

Here’s what Bernie Sanders said about Trump’s threatened invasion of Greenland. Schumer couldn’t manage a harsher word than “quixotic” to describe Trump’s Greenland threats. Congressional delegations are all well and good, but not sufficient.
