Schrödinger’s shell game.

A completely closed turtle shell rests on a paved surface. The turtle has withdrawn into its shell and is not otherwise visible.

Happy 250th birthday, No Kings Day!

The photo is a picture of the Declaration of Independence.

"I count four 'ayes' and... Barney, who seems to be an early abstainer. All right, then. All those opposed to the motion, same sign."

Ten Canada geese float on a stream. Four have their heads completely underwater and their tails up in the air. Five are completely upright, their heads held high. One has its head under water, but its tail is down.

I don't often compliment Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, but their co-locating businesses will make organizing the next Tax Billionaires demonstration much more efficient.

A Tesla dealership is adjacent to a large Whole Foods store on a busy street.

165,987 square feet seems like an oddly specific amount to be prefaced by ±. Perhaps the building changes size with temperature variations.

A large commercial real estate sign states, "Available, ±165,987 square feet , Office/Lab/R&D."

In this email, Trump asks me to remain quiet about his soliciting someone to destroy him after he has read the material in front of him. Should I forward it to FBI Director Kash Patel? Surely "delete" is threat at the level of "86."

My new Trump passport isn't as bad as I had expected it to be.

The proposed passport redesign has, on the left, a drawing of Trump's scowling face superimposed on the Declaration of Independence, and below his face is his Donald J. Trump signature. A block of jail bars hovers over the face and signature. On the right is a picture taken from a painting of the founding fathers.

Fergus feels no remorse at all for having eaten almost one half of an apricot cake, nor does he think that wiping the remaining crumbs from the kitchen counter is his responsibility.

A small, brown-eyed light golden dog lies comfortably atop a red fuzzy blanket. The blanket is crumpled on the seat of a stuffed white armchair. The dog appears to be quite comfortable and contented.

Sonia and Fergus re-enact the Exodus from Egypt. Fergus looks on as Sonia recites the Bark Adonai on the first Seder night.

Two small dogs sit on carpeted floor about a half meter apart. Both dogs are wearing white dishtowels draped over their backs, held together in front of their chests by small binder clips.

A group of fez-wearing Shriners enjoyed last night's Oakland Ballers vs. San Jose Giants game. They should have received reduced parking fees for their tiny cars. @oaklandballers.bsky.social

A casually dressed, diverse crowd sits in the stands of Excite Stadium (San Jose, CA). Many wear team colors or clothing that identifies them as fans of the San Jose Giants or the Oakland Ballers. Six men wear tall, flat topped, red fezzes with thick black tassels and sparkling gold letters and symbols that identify them as members of the Shriners.

Big crime wave in Los Gatos, CA. This never happened in the Biden administration.

Headline in The Mercury News (San Jose, CA) published March 24, 2026: "Teenager throws juice box, hits customer in the head at Los Gatos Safeway."
Sub headline: "Box explodes on impact, causing the victim pain."

What do these comparisons mean? What units of measurement? What is the scale? Or is this just the golf ball version of "This one goes to eleven"?

Three bright yellow golf balls rest in an open box on the left of the picture. Abutting that box is the lid, which has a graphic comparing two different models of the company's golf balls. Each comparison is a bar graph, one kind of ball represented by a beige bar and the other by a dark gray bar. The graphs are labeled "ball speed," "distance," "launch," "flight," "wedge spin," and "compression." The pairs of beige and gray bars vary slightly in length from each other, but none identifies the units of measurement, the scale of the graphs, the origin point of the represented bar graph.

"Imminent ... for 47 years." Imminent. Tom Cotton is the Vizzini of the Senate.

A screen capture of Sen. Tom Cotton's TwitterX post from 7:07 a.m., Mar. 3, 2026 opens with Cotton's statement, "Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years. The president was right to act." Under these words is a capture of Cotton's interview on FoxNews with a picture of the senator on the left and a blurry gray and turquoise graphic from U.S. Central Command.

Today, that FIFA Peace Prize looks like a scream.

The FIFA Peace Prize 2025 trophy rests upon a black pedestal. The brass trophy depicts a number of human hands stretching upward, fingertips supporting a globe with textured details of Earth's oceans and land forms.

Edvard Munch's painting. "The Scream," depicts a simplified blue-clad human form standing in the foreground next to a red railing, hands clasped to the sides of its head. The most prominent feature of the face is its open mouth, a vertical oval below stylized anguished eyes.

Every law library has a legal Ouija board with which anyone can divine irrefutable, unexpressed, and unvetted legal arguments. I fully expect a Legal Ouija Board app that can be used on an iPhone any day, and Tim Cook will send the profits from selling it to Trump.

A post from Donald J. Trump reads: The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple -- They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting upon Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.

Elon must have hired the pointy-haired manager to run GROK AI.

Pictured are two posts from Grok, X Twitter's AI function. The first, dated February 5, 2026, states "No, Scott Adams is alive and actively posting on X as of today, February 5, 2026. The "RIP" post seems like misinformation or spam. Glad to clear that up!"
The second, from February 6, affirms, " Yes, my previous statement is accurate—Scott Adams is still alive and posted on X today, February 6, 2026. No signs of any passing."

Trump's getting that Nobel Peace Prize is a sure thing now.

New York Times headline: Venezuela Live Updates: Trump Says U.S. Will ‘Run the Country’ After Capture of Maduro

Lede paragraph: President Trump offered few details about how the United States would oversee Venezuela and for how long, but said its oil industry would “make a lot of money” under U.S. leadership. President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were being taken to New York to stand trial on drug and weapons charges.

Guilfoyle wears a long-sleeved, high-neck, floor-lenghth dress of sheer black lace, her long dark hair and the lace's medallions providing some coverage for modesty.

Have a little sympathy for poor confused Marco Rubio. Anyone would be stressed while working three jobs. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

From the article: "Trump’s hostile rhetoric came after a confusing weekend in which Rubio admitted the White House plan was conceived in Moscow, only to then insist the US was its author."

Trump's turn as Tom Buchanan must be in a sequel party, because Jeffrey Epstein's Jay Gatsby was killed off in the first version.

I saw Trump's little AI-generated King-Trump-dumping-feces video and regretted that Sigmund Freud is unavailable when we need him.

From the APA dictionary of psychology: anal-expulsive phase
Updated on 04/19/2018
in the classical psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, a phase of the anal stage in which pleasure is obtained by expelling feces and the sadistic instinct is linked to destruction of the object. According to the theory, fixation at this phase results in an adult anal personality. See also anal-sadistic phase. Compare anal-retentive phase.

A flag-waving blue elephant, not to be confused with a RINO, marched in San Jose against kings and tyrants.

A No Kings march demonstrator in a pastel blue inflatable elephant costume stands in the street slightly apart from the rest of the marchers. The elephant holds an American flag.

No Kings in San Jose, CA, but a frog prince brought the kiss of death to rigid cultural iconography.

A No Kings marcher wore an inflatable green frog prince costume, complete with a gold crown and red cape, while strolling with flag carrying demonstrators.
