If men want to protect women in sports so much, then explain the damned "official beach volleyball uniforms" every Olympic year. These were Spain's in 2024.

Two women from Spain's 2024 Olympic beach volleyball team are shown in their official uniforms while playing a match. The suits are two piece and very scanty with matching visors. One woman is facing away, and her bottoms seem to be climbing butt crevasse. The other is seen from the side, her arms up to set the ball; the most that can be seen of her bikini bottom is a small strip of red fabric.

This is not the same photograph that has been released on other media sites. Let's not be guilty of spreading other AI slop. However, even the image on CNN has a weird glowing circle under his finger on the newspaper, and that might really show the original image IS AI slop.

Mitch McConnell and wife. On the left side of the frame, under McConnell's index finger, there is a white circle on the newspaper.

24/7--Hopper knew the score.

This is "Nighthawks" a painting by Edward Hopper. It is a painting showing a diner in the early 1940's, late at night or early in the morning. The view is from outside through a huge window, looking a mostly empty counter stools as a worker in white jacket and cap bends behind the counter to prepare an order while looking at a man and woman, who seem weary. The man is in a dark suit and fedora, while the woman's red dress and hair draw our gaze, though she seems to study the fingernails of one hand in boredom. At an angle from them, his face hidden, is another seated, suited, and hatted man. The diner seems very bright compared to darkness of the window directly behind the seated couple, giving the impression that it is extremely late. Nothing can be seen through the window behind the couple but dim greenish reflections in the darkness.

Ideally, you have this set-up & the money to pay people a decent wage to come in & keep it organized & tidy. This, of course, is not nearly enough books.

A home library with many books, a wheeled library ladder, a comfy sofa with pillows, & a coffee table.

Krampus was an old mythic figure. He would come around Christmas and beat bad children, put them in sacks, and take them away.

Krampus leads away two bad children while brandishing sticks with which to beat them. In a pack, there are the toys good children will get.

20 years ago today...(we know you thought we wouldn't make it a year; we're staying together to spite all of you assholes). Love you, Jeff. Now and forever. Sorry I'm still a big old dork.

My husband looking very handsome and smiling at me as I wave and smile like a total dork in my wedding dress and veil. We both look very happy (we were and are!)

Gosh, why is it so hard to talk to people these days?

A man is holding a ring of keys & opening a door while smiling at a woman who looks startled. Behind the door, there is a monster with horns, big eyes, and a lot of huge teeth.

I prefer to remain mature & will conduct myself accordingly. Consequently, my response to the administration will be:

Two cats, one striped and one black, are sticking their tongues out right at the camera, as if they are telling the person taking the picture to get lost.

Two men dressed in Colonial Era clothing are seated at a table on which rests stacks of papers. Both men hold pages. It looks like they have been hard at work drafting The Declaration of Independence through many drafts.

Lupus (and stuff)-- But I took a shower, fed the dog, folded & put away laundry, & washed the dishes this morning.

Cartoon of a green tyrannosaurus holding mechanical grabbers. He is grinning evilly, & the words "i am unstoppable" accompany the image.

Yeah, they don't want to go either.

Just a reminder to check voter registration.

Sounds right...

Jesus was weak on crime. Matthew 9:11 "When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” That is all.

A drawing of Jesus, sitting with and talking to "sinners and tax collectors," who are seated around him. An older woman stands, holding a dish, while a younger woman is seen from behind, as she carries 2 wine pitchers.

Yep, pretty close to what I imagined, but w/ some ironic or altered Hello Kitty accessories, like this one from "Deviant Art."

Hello Kitty, covered in blood, seems to be running forward. She has a flower-decorated eye-patch over the right eye & is carrying an assault rifle.

I'm more likely to believe Bill Bailey is Jesus...or a doctor. Trump's beyond unqualified to be either.

A man with long hair and a beard is wearing a white robe and sandals. He is holding his hands palm down as he calms a barking rottweiler.

WTAF is this?? Oh, wait! I remember this from Catholic college! This is blasphemy.

Donald Trump is pictured as a Christ-figure, healing a sick man w/ light from his hands while others seem to pray to him. Odd shadowy figures are floating in the air behind Trump, where a flag flies in the background w/ the statue of Liberty & fighter jets.

I love dogs, but I don't love this image, which I fully expect to appear right next to my bed in my next nightmare. Are you sure your dog didn't star in "Stranger Things"?

A demi-gorgon (the monster from Stranger Things) has its petal-like mouth open, showing a horrifying range of teeth, as it rushes forward, arms extended.

Here Trump show the gravitas and eloquence that makes him an exception among world leaders.

A toddler is shown crying, mouth open in a wail.

Azulitasola@azulitasola· Apr 5

Yeah, we have them!

The picture shows a large, chocolate-covered & chocolate filled Egg that has been cut open from the end. There are chocolate shavings scattered around the egg, which has a frosting flower on top.

Donkeys live a LONG time. So much so that my husband & I have put arrangements for our donkey's (and younger horses') care in our wills. Our girl, Dawn Kay, is only 8.

A white-faced, gray donkey is standing & staring directly into the camera. Her expression is "don't mess with me."

So happy to see the joy on her face as FLOTUS is reunited with her birth family!

A humanoid robot and Melania Trump are walking a red carpet at the White House. Melania is dressed in white, like the robot, and is smiling widely.

Azulitasola@azulitasola· Mar 2

Yep.

A cartoon shows an angry (even fatter and shorter) Trump using the FIFA peace trophy to beat the dove of peace into a bloody mess.

What the actual...? Also, why am I having flashbacks to a National Lampoon Magazine cover? If we don't vote for this guy, someone's gonna kill our dogs??

Iconic cover of National Lampoon Magazine from Jan 1973, showing an anxious dog, giving side-eye to an unseen person who is holding a handgun to the dog's head. The headline reads: "If You Don't Bug This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog."

Mana "Donde Jugaran los Ninos" 1992 (sorry, can't make accents and tildes work on this machine, & I'm too lazy to spend more time figuring it out). But this album is perfect.

Hey! What do you think of our tree? I've added 48 candy canes since the photo, but I think it still needs more little bears.

Christmas tree with lights & assorted decorations. Very ugly living room.

The Day the Star Trek TOS gang snuck into a Trump speech. I gather they were less than inspired.

This is a still from Star Trek orignal series "Patterns of Force," showing the characters Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, dressed in Nazi uniforms so they could infiltrate a fascist stronghold on the Planet Ekos to determine of John Gill, a friend of Kirk, is really in charge of a genocidal movement.

I saw this the other day, and I immediately thought of you. I can't believe these science-denying asses, willing to put everyone (but especially children) at risk.
