There's a gotta be a whole separate story going on with James Wickersham. To be elected 4 times and contest/lose elections is something else.

There's something to be said about companies following through on warranties. It's small, makes a difference. Had a Corona trowel that had the blade break off after a year or 2 of use. Emailed the warranty email with a picture. Couple weeks later a new one shows up. No email, just a box at my door.
A red handled Corona trowel, sitting on top of my laptop. Brand new out of the box. It's very shiny.

Somehow this seems like a metaphor for something...

Click on the details for the event, you go into an AI chatbot like experience. No interface, no prompt... and no response. Just does nothing. I guess this is time to reflect on 'merica?
AI chatbot like interface when clicking for details. But it doesn't do anything.

Oh, there's 1 (one!) event nearby! A Freedom Truck! And I missed it. State of 8 million people. One event.
Screenshot of the one event in WA state. And it was yesterday. Screenshot of the Freedom Truck schedule.

Great job guys! 16 ways to celebrate... Ooh, we're down to 9. And none of them are within 1500 miles.

It's really odd they're all wearing basically the same clothes and colors. Like they were all showing up for a class picture in Philadelphia. Quote Franklin: "We must indeed, all hang together or most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. But if we're going to hang, we should at least all match."

They are really AI-glamming the Founding Fathers™ to within an inch of their lives. Say what you will about Dolley Madison, but these are not the same people. This lady works at my bank and scowls at me when I drive through her neighborhood. Old-timey people don't need to be sexy. Just let them be.

Even though this is from a satire site, it's still impressive how low her viewership is. Never broken 6 figures, and most don't break 4 digit viewers.

In stereo!
An image of Akbar and Jeff, one rocking Charlie Brown-esque clothes, other naked as a jaybird.  (not sure which is which). The clothed one says to the naked one, "Stop that!".

That's a case just screaming no user-serviceable parts and has tri-lobe screws.
Yellow-orange warning sticker that says "No user serviceable parts inside" with a tempting lightning arrow and an exclamation point icon that really should be an interrobang.

I'm very confused. I know caricaturists exaggerate in their drawings, but who are these people? I guess like a lot of swingers communities, the primary emotions are not romance or lust, but delusion.
A caricature of Tom and Bunny from their swingers review site that appears to have been drawn likely 20 years ago by Tom, over the phone, to the artist (it looks nothing like them).

The counter is true for holding on for too long. I loved The Simpsons, watched the 1st episode when I was Bart's age. But I stopped watching 20 years ago because it had overstayed its welcome and got boring. The 138th episode special was supposed to be a joke; they were telling the truth.

Stephen Root is one of the best, especially as Jimmy James. This edition of credits replaced the previous version that included included WTC 1 & 2.

Google Lens is usually pretty good, but I screenshot the actor on the left, I don't think this is right... And I don't want to revisit that badger hole to learn more.
Screenshot of a Google search for the actor in the picture, but it's showing 1997s Gummo.

Including a truly great character.

It's nice to see innovative design in the world. We'll see if reality meets the design, but the fact that the parts can be adapted to three unique configurations with one kit is impressive.
The mounting instructions for the Microtik K-79 mounting kit. This shows the configuration for 1, 2, or 4 routers using the same kit. If using 4, the brackets modify to use an internal structure for a different purpose.

You can tell that the bots have gotten really good at Evel Knieveling the uncanny valley when it comes to human form. But there is still the fun "Find what's wrong with this image" when it comes to the background, especially when it comes to video. I've never seen a door work like that.

Huh. I'm impressed how well ChatGPT does with some stuff. Worth those acres of the Amazon.
A screenshot of a motion made by chatgpt with the prompt in the previous skeet. Prompt is: "Write me a motion that says defendant Rudolph Guilianni lives in Florida. But write it like you have had a recent severe head injury and currently taking nighttime cough medicine."

@zitron.bsky.social Example of how Google Search is failing. Logged into my account, have a Google One account. Searching for the timeline of the 9/11 attacks. These results are baffling. Have these kind of errors all the time.

Am I the only one getting a 404 on the important comics on Comics Kingdom? Looks like a new design, but still has some issues. Was expecting to read my stories...
