Four books of mine stacked on the dresser of the guest room at my in-laws’ house. The house is nice and quaint and, also, I’ve brought some of my own quaintness just for me.

I googled “string of lights in the sky”. It came back with an AI conversation view with some pictures and the following text: The string of lights frequently spotted moving in a straight line across the night sky is a "Starlink satellite train" launched by SpaceX. These, often 60 at a time, are satellites being deployed to provide global internet, appearing as a "string of pearls" due to reflected sunlight. They are most visible 1-3 days after launch, shortly after sunset or before sunrise. • YouTube +5 Key Details About Starlink Sightings: • What They Are: A constellation of satellites from SpaceX designed to provide low-cost internet to remote areas.

Text: “and BRUCE MCCULLOCH as The Beaver” a still from I guess the opening credits of the Kids and the Hall episode Chalet 2000. I think they even did away with the standard KITH opening theme that episode. Oh and it’s Bruce McCulloch as a beaver who I believe has a steamy affair with the Queen of England.
Two cyber trucks parked side by side, exponential dumbness.
A quote from Pope Leo: Cultural facilities, such as cinemas and theaters, are the beating hearts of our communities because they contribute to making them more human. If a city is alive, it is thanks in part to its cultural spaces. We must inhabit these spaces and build relationships within them, day after day. Nonetheless, cinemas are experiencing a troubling decline, with many being removed from cities and neighborhoods. More than a few people are saying that the art of cinema and the cinematic experience are in danger. I urge institutions not to give up but to cooperate in affirming the social and cultural value of this activity. The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what "works," but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us and sometimes even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

The ivory dealer from the Stampy episode of The Simpsons with a caption “AND LIKE MOST PEOPLE, YEAH I’VE DEALT A LITTLE IVORY.” Stampy was an elephant.
A Facebook ad for a new show on Netflix called Black Rabbit. The image contains the text “Netflix's 'Black Rabbit' Sounds Like A Grittier 'Succession' Meets 'The Bear'” and the Facebook text above that reads “Here's your first look at the high-stakes drama starring Jude Law and a shaggy Jason Bateman.” The picture is shaggy Bateman consoling Jude Law on the street. Law is wearing a white t-shirt and has a receding hairline.
