A micro mosaic frame in need of restoration - missing many pieces

To avoid embarrassment, my family has for the past decade prohibited me from posting on Insta. But X (my main hang) is such a mess I'm gonna break the embargo, initially with images of micro mosaics. I buy 'em cheap 'n' busted & put them back together.

Disgusting Abomination was my stripper name.

I continue to wear a mask in crowded places. Have a math & statistics background and can understand Covid numbers. It's still here. Plus, I like reducing my chances of getting flu and RSV. Married, so I'm not trying to look cool & be on the prowl.

NBC is firing Lester Holt, but they've replaced him with an anchor who identifies as multiple llamas.

Hey pranksters -
Before Bob Menendez goes to prison, call him up pretending to be from the White House and have Trump negotiate with him for a pardon.
Menendez is dumb enough to fall for it.

RIP to the great David Lynch.
In 2006, to promote his movie Inland Empire, David Lynch sat with a cow on Hollywood Blvd. He would take a photo with you!
He will be missed.

Can't fault Jimmy Carter's timing.

At least DeSantis is battle-tested, having gone to war against our savage foes Tinker Bell and The Little Mermaid.

Not that it matters, but with 99.9% of the vote counted, Trump's lead in the popular vote is down to 1.47%.
(For every 34 people who voted for Trump, 33 people voted for Harris.)

Prohibition in the US brought us big-time gangsters in the 1920s.
So I'm guessing that some 14-year-old in Canberra will become the Al Capone of Insta.

A social media ban for under-16s passes the Australian Senate and will soon be a world-first law The Australian Senate has passed a social media ban for young children that will soon become a world-first law.

Australia just prohibited social media for people under 16. Will take a year to implement. Only 12 more months of TikTok, li'l Aussies!

Everyone should know that Trump's new AG pick, Pam Bondi, dropped her Trump University fraud investigation in return for a $25,000 contribution from Trump.

She can be bought cheap.

🚨 Fetterman’s reaction to Gaetz dropping out says it all.

Covers of 1970s science fiction paperbacks (plus some more recent art in that style)

America being run by the world's richest guy, the owner of companies that make rockets, electric cars and brain chips, is the most 1970s science fiction scenario to ever happen. (Slightly better that Musk runs things than 47?)

How is Dr. Oz qualified to be in Trump's cabinet? As far as we know, he hasn't raped anybody.*

*He has killed dogs, so he might qualify under the Noem Exemption.

Re: Matt Gaetz
Maybe America needs an Attorney General who can f*** and s*** all night.
Merrick Garland can't or won't.
Bill Barr couldn't.
Janet Reno, I dunno. Ask her.
John Ashcroft, nope - religious reservations.
Felix Grundy, nah - sucking wasn't much done in 1838.

Trump Pick Matt Gaetz Accused of Participating in Up to 10 Drug-Fueled Orgies An attorney representing two women who claim to have attended up to 10 “sex parties” with Matt Gaetz will embark on a media blitz Monday, revealing new details of misconduct leveled against the former...

Matt Gaetz was in five to ten orgies including one where he banged an underage girl up against a pool table (and paid her to do it).

Maybe he should be nominated for Attorney Genital.

Thank you!

Cover of Mandate magazine from the 1970s, featuring a guy whose facial expression is somewhat creepy

With about 98% of the vote counted, Trump's share of the popular vote is about 49.9%, just 1.72% more than Harris's.
Pretty crappy mandate (see below).

Thank you! I'll try to post some attempts at humor instead of just pissy tweets about Trump.
