Happy Fractal Friday! ❤️ 🖤 ❤️ 🔍: 490

$On a brilliant red background, two black, miniature copies of the Mandelbrot set (also known as "minibrots") appear near the top of the image, both strung on a crackling bolt of pale green fractal lightening.$

$A fractal image of swirling lavenders and teals on a pale pink background. In the middle of the right side of the image is a large circular "bulb" — clearly part of the Mandelbrot set. Several "minibrots" are on the left side of the image, each surrounded by a cyan-colored halo.$

$A turquoise fractal spiral on a pale orange background fills the lower half of this image and spirals away into infinity. The upper half of the image is a more vibrant orange, but lacks any fractal details.$

$The top of this image is dominated by a four-lobed fractal shape whose center colors and details merge together into a gray blur. Predominant colors outside this shape are bright green, soft orange, and pale yellow details. A small minibrot hides in the lower right corner of the image.$

$Four hurricane–like fractals, with colors of soft blues and pinks, lurk in the corners of this image. An ‘X’ made up of more than a dozen smaller, similar fractals at the center of the image is on a dark mauve background.$

Trump’s order to hide his name being removed behind a tarp somehow makes him seem even more pathetic. The good news is, his name *is* off the Lincoln Center wall!

A huge tarp on the Lincoln Center wall hides the fact that Trump’s name has been removed from the building.

A worker, partially obscured by a multi-story tall tarp, lifts the letter 'P' just after it was removed from the Lincoln Center wall.

$A lavender fractal with traces of blue on a indigo background. The fractal is very very structural-looking and a shape in the middle of the image looks vaguely like a figure with their arms extended upward.$

Seeing Trump’s name being removed from the Kennedy Center brings me joy…

Workers on scaffolding outside the Kennedy Center preparing to remove Trump’s name from the side of the building.

There can no longer be any doubt: the President of the United States is an unhinged sociopath. Anyone standing in the way of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office is complicit.

A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump dated April 7th 2026 at 5:06 AM. The post reads “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily[sic] wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?
We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Gas is over $5 a gallon in northern California. $3.54 would be nice...

A sign with prices for the Rotten Robbie gas station:
Unleaded Gas: $5.19/gallon (or $5.09 with member card) and
Diesel #2: $6.19/gallon (or $6.09 with member card).

Is anyone else getting sick of seeing Tom Steyer’s TV spots? I’ve counted up to a dozen during a one hour show. Cool. You’re rich, Tom. We get it. But at some point I wonder if his incessant commercials are doing more harm than good.

Tom Steyer, his sleeves rolled up as if to imply he’s ready to get to work, holding a microphone and and making an unknown point during a TV spot.

$A red/orange/yellow fractal spiral that (if you squint really hard) looks a bit like a flower. The “flower” is on a bright green background. At a magnification of 1.1525687786e+16 this may be the deepest fractal I have every posted — the 80-bit floating point math in my software starts breaking down beyond this point. Enjoy!$

$A purple/magenta fractal shape with many “arms” suggestive of—to me anyway—an octopus or a squid. The “arms” seem to be reaching toward the bottom right corner of the image. The fractal shape is on a dark green background.$
