Screen shot of Harmeet Dhillon’s Wikipedia, under heading Education: “Dhillon attended the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, graduating at age 16. She then enrolled at Dartmouth College and graduated in 1989 with a Bachelor of Arts in classics.[13][14] As an undergraduate at Dartmouth, she became a writer and eventually the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review.[11][14] During her tenure at The Review, a satirical column criticizing the school's President and the policies of his administration generated controversy. In the column, Dartmouth College president James O. Freedman, who was Jewish, was likened to Adolf Hitler due to the alleged discriminatory policies of his administration against conservatives. These policies were referred to by the column as a "holocaust" and the "Final Solution to the Conservative Problem".[14] The column also characterized conservatives at Dartmouth as being "deported in cattle cars in the night".[15]”

From Wikipedia screenshot: Bayou Billy appears in Nintendo-themed animated TV series Captain N: The Game Master, where the character shows up in an episode titled "How's Bayou", voiced by Garry Chalk. Playing on the difficulty of its real world counterpart, Bayou Billy was said to be the one game even Captain N was unable to conquer yet. Mother Brain asked Dr. Wily to build a robot cat to help Duke lead Captain N to Bayou Billy's world. Captain N ended up meeting Bayou Billy where he learned some tricks from him.

From Wikipedia: After moving to the Bahamas in 1987, Chalopin began investing in Deltec Bank and Trust, eventually becoming its largest shareholder and chairman. As chairman he sought out smaller cryptocurrency-related businesses, including Tether and its controlling company Bitfinex in 2018. At that time, Deltec was the only bank willing to work with the cryptocurrency.[7] Chalopin acquired Farmington State Bank (FSB), a single-location community bank in Farmington, Washington, in 2020. FSB, which until then had focused on agricultural loans, began to offer services to the blockchain and cannabis industries under the name Moonstone Bank. Among FSB's blockchain activities, it accepted millions of dollars in investment capital and deposits from entities linked to the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. US federal prosecutors seized FTX-related funds from the bank in January 2023 after FTX's failure, and FSB intended to return to community banking. Later that year FSB agreed to sell its operations and liquidate at the insistence of the Federal Reserve Board and state bank regulators.[8]
Tweet from Tyler Austin Harper saying Kamala needed to tell young men “I’m not going to send you to die in another pointless fucking war in the Middle East. Specific enough?” because he’s a charlatan and pretend avatar of real America.

Jarvis Cocker of Pulp songs while raising an enormous hand in emphasis. Candida Doyle is on keyboards and their new guitarist whose name I forget is there too. The light is very red and palm trees and an enormous wall loom overhead. The venue is Hollywood Forever Cemetary.

Photo of a sketch by artist Philip J. Bond depicting the cover of the Pulp single for “Miss-Shapes,” notably depicting the members of the band as paper dolls. It was a special request as part of a kickstarter campaign for the amazing comic Geezer. Truly mind blowing from the sweetest man in comics.
A screenshot of text. It reads The group (having added a keyboardist, Dave Vanacore) toured in early 1990 opening for Marx and appeared at Farm Aid IV on April 7, 1990, at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana. But Furay, now a church minister in Colorado, then had to bow out due to his commitments and Poco toured as a headliner in the summer of 1990 with Sundrud returning to take over rhythm guitar from Furay. Despite Legacy's gold status and the two hit singles, the band did not make much money on their 1990 tour, one of the problems being their booking into military bases that turned out to be mostly empty, as the troops were all deployed for the Desert Shield operation in the Persian Gulf. RCA ended up dropping them from their roster and recordings for a proposed follow up to Legacy were abandoned.

Sign reading "Two bad neighbors" with very poorly rendered pictures of the heads of Bart and Homer Simpson hung from a cartoon house. This is a screenshot from an episode in which George HW Bush moves across the street from the Simpsons and immediately begins feuding with them. Everyone else is bewildered by the sign.
