I am heading for bed, but it looks like we could use something light. Maybe TaMara will pop in with something, but in the meantime, BlueGuitarist sent me some fun protest signs he found online, so I’ll just load them here for your perusal.

thanks. I needed that.
WaterGirl
Hard to pick a favorite.
(And he shits in a box.) is for sure a runner up.
They are all so good, each in their own way.
Scout211
My favorite is:
It says it all, plus it has a lovely melody 🎶
Thank for this post, WaterGirl.
Mathguy
The IQ sign is awesome. Thanks for the laugh.
WaterGirl
@Scout211: excellent choices, all of them, and the perfect number of syllables!!
same with the first sign they really got the syncopation just right. Extra points for that.
Joy in FL
These are clever and accurate. Very Balloon Juice : )

All funny. I saw the neologism “moronacracy.” I quite like that. Or “Confederacy of Dunces.”

Thank you.

These are great. Thank you for these. If it helps anyone else, I like to listen to John Flannery, and he has a bit of a rundown of the judge arresting stuff. I’m listening now, but here’s the link:

If it helps. This judge arrest is ominous in my mind, but I’d like to understand the situation.
Alternately, here is a Franklin’s Tower take I had never heard before. Part of this one, Jerry is really on a lovely tear.

You’re welcome.

@Gloria DryGarden: I like that one

The rotating tag is brilliant tonight.
it says
“we still have time to mess this up.”
just wishing the clock would run out for some of those people.
Gloria DryGarden
@zhena gogolia: smiling back at you

Just ran across this year’s International Jazz Day concett from Tangier, on PBS. Nice, relaxing. Each performer so far does about 5 minutes. Various moods, some quite reflective.

I think the tropical paradise in the sidebar today is calming.
BlueGuitarist calls them the serenity photos. I love that!
Kristine
@WaterGirl: That tropics photo is lovely, and so very restful.
So many good signs.

There is apparently an executive order against ActBlue. I’m sure its not legal but its definitely a way to interfere with fund raising.

Gloria DryGarden
@Urza: WTF!
guy grifts off his fundraising, but he gets to stop everyone else? JFC!
Geez
Gloria DryGarden
@Jay: may it be so.
frosty
@WaterGirl: Yes they all scanned beautifully. Good enough that Subaru Diane could have written them. She’s our resident expert on syncopation.
NotMax
@Jay
Different topic.
Just curious, is searching Vancouver for the supposed hidden treasure of Brother XII still a thing?
Jay
@NotMax:
Not really.
It was moved offshore.

I wasn’t able to get a pic, but my favorite protest sign so far is:
We are all the couch now

@WaterGirl:
Her cat shits in her cat box. Where she is supposed to.
Shitforbrains shits everywhere. In his pants, and likely everywhere he’s not supposed to, because he thinks he can do nothing wrong. But wrong is the basis of everything he does. It’s like he tried to teach himself humanity. But he has zero idea what humanity really is supposed to be, so he learned nothing in any way positive.

Heh, “Onion article” can be inserted gracefully into the B-52’s song.
