Bright yellow, vintage 1950s Atkinson’s Chick-o-Stick box cover, featuring a giant head of a cartoon kid enjoying what looks like a pretzel rod but in fact is a Chick-o-Stick. A cartoon chicken wearing a sheriff’s badge and hat holds another Chick-o-Stick on the opposite side of the box. There is also an image of a partially-unwrapped Chick-o-Stick. Text reads “They’re Yummy Atkinson’s Chick-o-Sticks.” and “Worth Crowing About!” I would like to point out how nerve-wracking it is to provide the alt text for an image in reply to Lady Topham Cat, the undisputed monarch of alt text.
Screenshot of Brad Johnson’s post: a laughing C-SPAN reporter in front of the Kennedy Center. Brad Johnson writes “the guy in the crowd who shouted ‘I WANT THE D!’ made the C-SPAN reporter crack up.”
Timothy Carey in the top bunk gassing to Jack Palance in the bottom bunk about crêpes Suzette, but we only see the disturbed reaction of Jack Palance, completely unfair.
Terence Stamp looking gorgeous in Toby Dammit, strikingly similar to the poster art shown in this post, why I needed to point this out I’m not entirely sure.
Lady pilots with practically identical blonde pageboy ‘dos gas a lot of soldiers outside Ft Knox, from Goldfinger. 100% verifiable proof that they steal a lot from Ft Knox.
All the groovy details David Mercer enumerated, but covered in grime.
Roger Livesey drinks a toast with Anton Walbrook in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. I love this film very much.
Low-rise concrete barriers and a traffic light allow cyclists to pass but not cars! In your face, cars!! At Cromwell Gardens between Ashton Place and Grenville Place. Apologies if I’ve used incorrect terminology, I’m not a professional.
Donald Trump plopped in front of the fireplace in the oval office, reflecting on the significance of St Patrick’s Day: “We have a great golf complex in Ireland.”

Wall at Philbrook Museum in Tulsa displaying examples of Joe Brainard’s work, giving some context to his “presence” in The (Tulsa-centric) Lowdown.
Unfortunately, the Tingler escaped its little box and is now busy gnawing on Vincent Price’s arm. Scream, ladies and gentlemen, scream for your lives!
Gavin Newsom sez “the best way to honor Charlie’s memory is to continue his work” and some other shit you don’t want to know.
Eric von Zipper and I agree about Zohran Mamdani: Him, I like.
Charlie Brown (a cartoon kid) asks Snoopy (a cartoon dog) (unfairly, but also he has a point) “why aren’t you a pony?”
It’s Gavin Newsom! His hair is perfectly coiffed! His sleeves are rolled up! He is relaxing by reading at a “dinner table”! His place setting consists of an unused plate and a napkin, but no cutlery! Next to the plate are pristine copies of To Kill a Mockingbird and 1984! He is pretending to read a paperback copy of Toni Morrison’s Beloved!
The splayed, spattered and bookmarked pages of Rick Bayless’s Mexican Everyday cookbook, surrounded by other cookbooks: Paula Wolfert’s Couscous, Raghavan Iyer’s 660 Curries, Michele Anna Jordan’s A Cook’s Tour of Sonoma, and Barbara Tropp’s China Moon Cookbook.

This Every Lot house appears to be the Little House by Virginia Lee Burton, if the Little House had a Camry or something parked in front of it.
Virginia Lee Burton’s Little House, clearly a long lost relative of this Every Lot St. Louis cottage, right down to the googly eyes.

Reader Linda1961 writes “The problem with just voting for change - you will probably get it, but not what you want. You should be specific, but people, and polls, are too lazy to do so. And if you want change, pay attention to what the "change candidate" is talking about to see if it's the kind of change that you want. A lot of trump voters will regret it when those billionaire tax cuts don't lower the price of eggs.”

Jeanne Dielman sits alone at a table in her preternaturally tidy kitchen between a bottle of milk and a metal carafe, possibly contemplating a concerted effort to devastate Our Glorious Movie Industry.
Around-the-corner view of the mysterious building at 1700 or 1702 S 19th St., featuring a bricked-up (or stoned-up) corner door and one of the Watchers from Fringe, I think.

Example of a fabulous Polish poster for The Absent-minded Professor. It’s a loopy collage featuring Fred MacMurray in a flivver, hovering over the Capitol Dome.
If the Judge Ho be Dale Let justice prevail! If the Judge Ho be Jim Sorry, dude, that’s grim.
Swirly acid-trippy pattern of that Magic Eye book from the ‘90s, which you’ll remember from walking past a Daldenbooks. Hello I am making the hilarious joke that the wall of bricks in this Every Lot post looks like an autostereogram.
