Overnight Lowell moved closer, putting us into the purple zone. We're getting some wind right now; have lost most of a very old lemon tree plus branches from some others.

Keeping an eye on NOAA for Hurricane Lowell updates; it looks like we're going to catch 40mph winds around 2pm tomorrow in Kaua'i County. Everybody stay safe!

And now, a few words about "inevitability." /via Kevin Ferron on LinkedIn. (Full text in ALT, thanks to Preview's handy OCR.)

"I invented a robot that can rob a bank. Of course, it robs these banks on its own, so I can't be held legally responsible when it robs a bank. I mean, all I did was invent it, it's not my fault if it works exactly the way I intended. Also, I get to keep all the money from the banks it robs. Sorry if any of that money was yours, but now that I've invented the Bank Robbing Robot, the Bank Robbing Robot is inevitable."

As always, there's a Venn diagram for that.

It's the mug shot, minus the neck flap. Because of course it is.

An elderly white man with bushy eyebrows and a truly disastrous combover glares directly at the camera. He wears a blue jacket, white shirt, and red necktie, which is not sufficient to gather in the loose dangly flesh under his chin.

Went with the classic meme for the caption. Also the words weren't showing big enough so it got a leetle bit psychedelic.

A Venn diagram, showing MAGA at the intersection of evil, stupid, and ignorant with GOP, KKK, and NRA in the corners. It's a rally sign that's really meant to be viewed by fellow attendees so it's kinda psychedelic. Caption in big blue letters: "THIS YOU, BRO?"

Kent Brewster @kentbrew.com · 23/03/2026

Maybe the MAGA Venn Diagram? Too many words for a protest sign ... I'll go without the caption, which doesn't seem true any more anyway. Or maybe swap it for YOU ARE HERE.

A Venn diagram showing the intersections of evil, stupidity, and ignorance. (Evil + ignorant = KKK, Ignorant + Stupid = NRA, Stupid + Evil = GOP, and all three make MAGA.) I am no longer confident that the caption ("Subtract ignorance and the whole thing falls apart") is actually true....

Might go back and fill in the white area just to get the whole thing covered with paint; this material is pretty good but Kaua'i rain gets everything. I like how crude it looks; I want people to know I didn't send away for this.

On Kaua'i sometimes at sunset it becomes possible to see the joint between two adjacent map tiles.

New Epstein files just dropped; data set 9 has no archive and no index. Some pages, like this one: www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-... ... show the results for page 0. This seems like a fine way to get people to give up looking, so I'm still looking. #EpsteinFiles

Well ... if you click AI Mode on Google Search and ask whether Trump is showing signs of dementia versus whether Biden is showing signs of dementia, you get a full AI opinion for Biden and a list of links for Trump, most of which are about whether Google is hiding their AI summary.

Kaylee and Joe. See alt-text for more!

A big tri-colored male Australian shepherd dog. Joe was a big fluffy floppy doofus, unless he needed to be the ideal farmer's dog, who would walk behind me so as not to scare the goats, and instantly halt when I asked him not to chase those wild pigs.

From The Economist, 21 Oct 2017, "Who Can Replace Tom Lehrer?" Answer: nobody. www.economist.com/prospero/201...

Screenshot from The Economist, 31 Oct 2017:

Despite his own misgivings—he is now 89—Mr Lehrer still has plenty of fans, with his songs covered in genres from (ironically) ukulele folk to death metal. The singer takes all this lightly. When 2 Chainz, a rapper, asked to sample “The Old Dope Peddler” in one of his tracks, Mr Lehrer was keen to help. “I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this,” he supposedly answered. “Please give my regards to Mr Chainz, or may I call him 2?”
