All over the map this week. I’ll tell you though, I’m going to skip the horror remakes for a while. Ugh.

Ready to feel old? Astronaut George Taylor will crash land on the “Planet of the Apes” on this date in just 1,953 YEARS!

#TakeYourStinkingPawsOffMe

Screen grab from the final scene of the original “Planet of the Apes”: The top half of an eroded Statue of Liberty sticks out of the sand on a rocky beach. Nearby the small figure of a man and a woman, sparsely dressed in animal skins. The woman holds a horse at bay, the man has collapsed in horror upon his realization that the strange ape-dominated world his spaceship crashed landed on was his own in a post apocalyptic future.

As if I didn’t have enough reasons to dislike vodka, ISCO Spirits has given me two more:

Pizza Vodka and Oyster Vodka.

This is real, not AI. It’s from a local tasting that I will be skipping. Bleargh. 🤢
ISCO Spirits produces sustainably-sourced vodkas, gins, bourbons and specialty spirits (many inspired by their love of the Ocean State) at the first distillery since Prohibition in Rhode Island's capitol. Their spirits are fiercely unique, land-and-ocean-inspired and handcrafted. Pizza Vodka "The first ever pizza vodka made from 100% organic wheat, tomatoes, pizza spices, and fresh, gooey mozzarella cheese. Herbaceous and pizza-y notes of oregano and basil, flavors of savory garlic, umami, tomato, baking dough and savory sauce. Ostreida Oyster Vodka Handcrafted from scratch using 100% organic NY-state corn, fresh-farmed oysters and pure water. Savory and briny, seacoast minerality, buttery texture, and a creamy finish!

Oops. I may have acquired another guitar.

#MusicianProblems
This image captures a striking cherry-red to black sunburst electric Gibson SG electric guitar, positioned on a stand, ready for action. Its slick, double-cutaway body gleams, contrasted by the dark upper bout and headstock. Chrome hardware, including the bridge and pickups, adds a touch of polish. The guitar is set against a backdrop of various amplifiers, including what appears to be a classic Marshall amp, suggesting a dedicated music studio or practice space.

This is a movie poster for "The Return of Swamp Thing." In the center, the monstrous Swamp Thing, a dark green, plant-like creature, carries a distressed but smiling blonde woman in a torn white dress. Dynamic yellow text announces "He's wacky! He's wicked! He's back!" and "He's got a grudge, 'cos they turned him to sludge!"

A dynamic illustration of a cosplayer dressed as Harley Quinn in a maroon and blue costume, with a prominent "HQ" emblem glowing on her chest. Her blonde hair is partially dyed dark, styled in playful pigtails, adding a touch of whimsy. The pose and expression convey strength and a playful sass. The backdrop is a simple light blue, keeping the focus on the character design. A stylized signature and "2025" are subtly placed, suggesting an artist’s mark and potential year of creation. The overall style is cartoonish yet realistically proportioned, blending a pop art aesthetic with elements of pin-up style.

Afternoon, y’all.
A friendly headshot shows a middle-aged man with short, slightly receding brown hair and a salt-and-pepper beard. His kind eyes and soft smile create a welcoming and approachable vibe. He's wearing a simple, dark blue collared shirt, and a delicate necklace is visible. The background is softly blurred, suggesting an indoor setting with warm lighting and muted colors.

It appears that we have once again reached the time of year when I am forced to ask: “What the hell is wrong with people??!?!”

Me and my Partner-in-Crime.
An intimate close-up captures a woman and man in a warm, dimly lit setting. The woman's face is partially visible, her gaze directed slightly away, creating a feeling of quiet intimacy. The man is partially visible behind her, his expression suggesting contentment. The blurred background hints at a lively atmosphere, perhaps at a bar or social gathering. The warm, reddish tones of the image lend a cozy and romantic feel.

A friendly, middle-aged man with a shaved head and a salt and pepper five-o’clock shadow beard looks directly at the camera in a close-up portrait. He has warm brown eyes and a calm, almost pensive expression. He’s wearing a textured, dark navy blue sweater, giving a casual yet professional feel. The background is softly blurred, suggesting an office environment with posters and file cabinets. The overall mood is approachable and professional.

New Yorkers: DO NOT RANK CUOMO. Not even last.
We can, and absolutely should do better.
@zohrankmamdani is my number one, full stop. Other solid options there as well, but Cuomo is not one of them. DO NOT RANK HIM.
A powerful image showcasing a protest banner boldly declaring "Don't Rank Cuomo, No More Creeps" against a backdrop of urban graffiti. The worn, slightly tattered fabric of the banner adds a sense of urgency and raw emotion to the anti-Cuomo message. The graffiti below, a mix of colors and styles, underscores the gritty, urban setting and amplifies the feeling of defiance. The overall mood is one of protest and a call for accountability, effectively communicated through the stark text against the textured background. The image is credited to @climbbitjustice, suggesting alignment with social justice advocacy.

Well… I think we all know he’s used to Melania “falling asleep” whenever he gets “excited”.

#Sad. #LowEnergy #Trump.
A digitally altered image shows Melania Trump, wearing a pink sleep mask and a tiara, lying on a large pink pillow. The image conveys a humorous, slightly sarcastic tone, suggesting exhaustion or boredom during an event. The Daily Beast headline emphasizes the apparent sleepiness, adding context to the image's playful yet pointed critique. The additional text mentions Marco Rubio also yawning, suggesting a wider reaction to the event.

No, the parade was not rained out, but the storms eliminated part of the scheduled performance and obscured other parts. Turnout was reported as very #LowEnergy and #Sad. Although I’m guessing there was a lot more to the low turnout than just the weather.
This evocative image showcases a cartoon rendering of Donald Trump in the style of South Park. He's depicted in a suit, his face contorted in a dramatic cry. The setting is a stormy backdrop; a torrential downpour lashes the White House, with lightning striking in the background. The scene conveys a sense of political turmoil and defeat, using the familiar South Park aesthetic to heighten the emotional impact. The American flag stands atop the White House, adding a poignant contrast to Trump's distress. The overall mood is one of melancholy and perhaps, political commentary.

You know, #NoKings Day is fast becoming my favorite holiday. Hope to see you, I’ll definitely be there, marching peacefully for Democracy.
#Resist
#StandUp
#FightFascism
A graphic celebrating "No Kings Day" uses four distinct comic-style panels. The panels feature slogans like "No Kings! America belongs to the people" and "We're building the resistance," alongside cartoon depictions of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Donald Trump. A central message promotes democratic ideals and resistance to fascism. The hashtags #StandUp, #FightFascism, and #NoKings emphasize the political activism theme. The overall tone is bold, rebellious, and politically charged.

A bold, comic-book style illustration depicts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confidently seated in a blue convertible against a simple cloudy sky. The text "Get in losers, we're building the resistance" overlays the image, conveying a message of collective action and defiance. The color palette is intentionally limited, emphasizing the strong graphic style and empowering message. The overall mood is one of determined optimism and playful rebellion.
