What's your sign?

A small green sign in a nicely kept lawn. The sign is in English and Japanese. It says “Do not disturb. Tiny grass is dreaming.”

"Deliver results. No, not like that."

Hakeem Jeffries' Bluesky account header and PFP. Of note, it includes the words, "Work hard. Stay focused. Deliver Results." This apparently only applies if he picks the winners, and not, say, Mamdani.

"America 250" is for the birds.

This is how I access Bsky. I think I might be sitting too close.

A black and white photo from the 1950s, showing an old man in a suit and bow tie wearing a miniature television over his eyes like a pair of glasses. The little TV has a giant pair of rabbit ear antennas sticking out of the top, and four or five little knobs on the surface.

The Tick

A comic book cover showing The Tick at a comic convention. As usual, The Tick is happy and effusive, throwing both arms in the air and smiling. The Tick is substantially taller and more muscular than everyone else, and wearing a skintight bright blue super suit (no cape).

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social nails the perfect caption for this photo.

A photo from the man collapsing during Trump's recent press event. Jeff has added the caption "look for the helpers." Everyone else in the room is turned to help the fallen man. Trump stands several feet away, back to the helpers, with a look on his face that suggests he feels aggrieved and inconvenienced. He is not a helper.

Monday is just around the corner 😬 Using a vid, GIF, or pic, share how you feel about that 🖤

A photo showing the door to a store. On the floor in front of the door to the store, there is the phrase “Meat Entrance” spelled out in mosaic tile. The tiles feel somewhat ominous.
