screenshot showing text where each of the words "grace" and "ours" is surrounded by double quotation marks. each set looks different from the other. they don't look like they would come from the same typeface. in the final quotation mark of the first word, the symbol looks janky like an upside down cursive v or something!
Text of image in quoted skeet. Likely generated by an LLM. Formal Statement from Megan Byron (Wife of Andrew Byron —for now) July 18, 2025 – Manhattan, NY It has come to my attention—and apparently to the attention of half the intemet—that my husband, Andrew Byron, has made certain... choices. Public ones. Under stadium lights. D wring a Coldplay concert. A venue not typically associated wit-infidelity, but here we are. Let me be perfectly clear: I am not issuing this statement in defense, nor in heartbreak. I am issuing it in power. In precis-ion. In silk gloves and sharpened wit. I will not be engaging in performative forgiveness, nor am I interested in the optics of "grace." What Andy has done is not just humiliating—it is banal. Common. A man of ambition bro-ught down by his own astonishing lack of imagination. I have retained counsel. I have reviewed holdings. I have re-allocated what was once "ours" into what is now, very cleanly, mine. I am not spiraling I am ascending. And while Andy may have quoted Coldplay in his statement, I will simply say, when the lights went out, I saw everything clearly. To those who expect tears—I don't cry for clowns, I schedule. I document. I rebuild. This is not revenge. It is refinement. And he will feel it in the silence that follows.

photo from behind at an angle of part of an HP laptop (not sure what model) with three ports on the rear. last time I saw that there was an RS-232 port or at least VGA, but fortunately all these are USB-C. one port is on the rear right and the other two appear to be in the center, so there could be another one just out of frame even. the back panel appears to be a gold color while the rest of it is possibly bronze but it might just be the lighting

screenshot from Fox News, where in Tim Pool, podcast host (derogatory), is seen asking a question. He is wearing his customary beanie, a black T shirt and a grey zip hoodie beneath a black jacket or coat. The hoodie is folded around bit below the collar, creating a faux-notch lapel silhouette. There are drawstrings as well. Hard to tell if they’re part of the hoodie or the jacket. Or maybe the hoodie and jacket are really one garment. Further research may be required. Pity be upon the person who undertakes such an investigation.
