Just saw something that I think requires a reminder as we approach the election in November. Lots of third parties blindly send out registration form mailers. They can be safely shredded and ignored. Real official mailers from your county will have this logo on the envelope.

In case you were wondering, AZ has already started preparing ballots and I doubt they've ordered any special envelopes or whatever the supposed USPS rules require. I have no doubt the USPS will be sued if they refuse to deliver them to homes.

Fun watch story for you @azlobo.bsky.social. In an elevator and two lads get in. The first asks if my watch is the same as his gaudy diver. I gently shake my head. Meanwhile his buddy excitedly says "Dude, it's a sub, a sub with a date". I didn't have the heart to tell him how much an Invicta costs.

Chef kiss to this comment on the BBC website regarding the Italian football team avoiding a third consecutive world cup.
Yet again Italy adopt the high moral ground. First, they avoided Putin's tournament, then the Qatari one, and now Trump's. Bravo!

Saw this posted online that apparently TCM have scheduled "Gaslight" against the State of the Union. Intentional or happenstance I don't know but I did check the TCM website and it is indeed scheduled.

Hard to go wrong with a Seiko. I've stumbled across Orient which is a sort of sub brand of Seiko at lower price points. Go to some online forums and you'd think you had committed some mortal sin by only paying $250 for an automatic watch.

I assume people have already made the Skynet joke?
Terminator 2 quote with Skynet replaced by the word Grok:
The Terminator: In three years, Grok will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Grok computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Grok Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Grok begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
Sarah Connor: Grok fights back.
The Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia.
John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they our friends now?
The Terminator: Because Skynet knows that the Russian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here.

Worth it for the dedication alone.
Dedication

This book is dedicated to the memory of Arnold McLay, undoubtedly one of the world's most brilliant and dedicated collectors of ornithological dejecta.

Armold passed away in August 1986 while attempting to bring to our headquarters a rare triple splay of the Wryneck (Jynx torquilla), which he had managed to collect on his windshield, some two hundred miles away in Dunbar. Unfortunately, the splay had almost completely obscured his vision and in order to see properly, Arnold was forced to drive with his head protruding from the driver's window. Tragically, he was only five miles from his destination when the combined effects of exhaustion and excitement caused him to misjudge the proximity of an oncoming truck and trailer.

His decapitation, however, was not in vain. Arnold's windshield and its remarkable splay miraculously survived the collision. It is, thankfully, preserved to this very day in the executive boardroom of the Birmingham Ornithological Dejecta Society.

In keeping with Arnold McLay's unswerving devotion to the preservation and study of splays, a commemorative plaque underneath the windshield simply reads:

"The Last Great Splay of Arnold McLay

Those words and that windshield are an inspiration to us all.
