Galatians 5:12. Abolish ICE.

The referee from Air Bud examining the rulebook and saying, "He's right. Ain't no rule that says a dog can't play basketball."
Chairface Chippendale looks up at the Moon, on which he has carved the first three letters of his name. (Chairface is a comic-book villain in The Tick, so named because he has a small chair where his head should be. His diabolical plan was to carve his name on the Moon with a giant laser. The Tick stopped him, eventually, because even though carving your name on the Moon may not technically be illegal, It's just WRONG, Arthur.)
Text on a retail carton reads: “PUNCH THIS PANEL OUT FOR DISPLAY.”
Instead of a box to contain and protect their EZ-Seed, Scott’s uses this horrific origami contraption, consisting of a tri-folded bottom shell held together by a separate “lid,” all not-quite secured by cheap glue. The “boxes” are open-sided, exposing the bagged seed to punctures and tears. Like everyone else who deals with them, I HATE these boxes.
A bag of "Washed Play Sand" marketed for use in sand boxes, not sand pits. This company seriously needs a thicker grade of plastic for their bags.
Anti-Goldwater button from 1964 reading “in your GUTS you know he’s NUTS,” a play on Goldwater’s slogan/dogwhistle “In your heart, you know he’s right.”
Screen shot of a Philadelphia-area weather forecast map with the little press-to-play-video-arrow appearing just east of Coatesville and covering most of Chester County. The arrow (and my neighborhood) sits in a dark purple band on the map where they are predicting 8-12 inches of snow.
An almost round orange-breasted robin poses among the yellow berries of a holly tree.
A security guard tackles a MAGA terrorist seconds after he sprayed something foul and possibly toxic at the American congressional Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town-hall meeting with constituents. Omar is rushing AT her attacker, ready to throw hands.
A gray cinder block wall stands between two decrepit row homes at the site of serial killer Gary M. Heidnik's row home in North Philly. Everything Heidnik did was legal in much of America prior to 1865.
An aged Billy Graham has been placed in a chair. His grandson sits next to him on one side, Rupert Murdoch on the other. Also present are Sarah Palin and her husband. Some lady from Fox News, Donald Trump, and four people I don't recognize, but who didn't mind having their picture taken along with Murdoch, Palin, and Trump, so.
Leo DiCaprio in "One Battle After Another," but instead of reciting Gil Scott-Heron he's reciting the lyrics to the early CCM Amy Grant deep cut "Great Grape Joy."
Harold and Kumar are delayed on their journey to White Castle.
The text of Luke 2:8-10 -- the Linus bit from Luke's Nativity -- is overlaid on a picture of two shepherds abiding in a field, keeping watch over their flock. The two shepherds are Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall, in a scene from Ang Lee's 2005 film "Brokeback Mountain," two characters representing some of the "all people" that some people seem to want to exclude from "great joy to all people," an exclusion not permitted by the text, which reads: "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to ALL PEOPLE."
Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba in "Pacific Rim") shouting "Fill the mead-cup, drain the barrel."
Gavin Newsome sits awkwardly in front of a blue wall while saying dumb things.
Pete Hegseth sits awkwardly in front of a blue wall while saying dumb things.
Saruman using the Palantir to communicate with Sauron, saying "By the way -- everything I ever sent you is off the record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that, but ..."
Two dogs at the No Kings protest rally wearing monarch butterfly wings. They’re good dogs.
People in inflatable frog and angler fish costumes in the crowd of thousands lining the streets of the West Chester (Pa.) No Kings rally.
Some kind of wasp, maybe? Reddish/maroon head and body with yellowish tail.
Boxes for noodles from Vietnam or maybe Thailand were repurposed as packing material for these pots.
My index finger, included for scale, appears huge as the very small toad is roughly the size of a fingernail.
Waterlogged insulation from the attic sags through a hole in the drywall ceiling above our bathtub.
Archer meme reading: "Do you WANT plagues? Because that's how you get plagues."
Tight green balls at the ends of stalks look like they’re ready to burst into peonies any day now, but they’ve looked like that for nearly a whole week.
One of the neighborhood rabbits, who seems pleased that I haven’t yet gotten around to mowing my lawn yet.
Poster from Fugitive Slave Act-era announcing emergency community meeting to address the ICE-equivalent kidnappers of that time: "A Man Kidnapped! A public meeting at Faneuil Hall! ... Virginia Kidnapper!"
Tiny little shoots appearing in the flower bed!

Screenshot of year-to-date stock price for Tesla, showing a plummeting line with the stock down more than 40%.
The "In This House, We Believe ..." sign, but with every line just repeating "Nazi Punks Fuck Off."
Picture of Peggy Campolo with the caption "PEGGY WAS RIGHT." Because she was (is).
Price tag on shelf for a dozen jumbo eggs. They cost $6.70 on January 21, 2025.
Larry Anderson looks on, hoping this bunt by Amos Otis will go foul, but Mariners third baseman Lenny Randle takes action, getting down on the turf to blow on the baseball, causing it to go foul. The umps ruled that didn't count and Otis was awarded first base.
Jonathan Cahn, wearing a black jumpsuit under what appears to be a Messianic Jewish cape, smashes an "altar of Ishtar" he had build just for the smashing. The "altar of Ishtar" looks a bit like the Stonehenge set from Spinal Tap.
A sexy, stylish 2008 Yaris is parked in a driveway and its passenger-side rear right wheel is tilted at a Very Not Good angle.
Gray squirrel and brown rabbit doing squirrel and rabbit things about five feet apart on my front lawn.
Lovely little frog.
A can of store-brand “Dr. Bob” soda.
