A sharp downward trend in the S&P 500 stock index is shown over the dates April 2 to April 4, with values falling from above 5,600 to around 5,200. The chart shows a particularly steep drop on April 4. On the right side of the image, a cutout of Donald Trump is superimposed, pointing toward the falling line with a smirk. Below him is the caption “I DID THAT!” in bold text.

Dumbest own-goal
A three-panel meme featuring a cartoon character riding a bicycle. In the first panel, the character, labeled 'USA,' is riding normally while holding a stick. In the second panel, the character jams the stick, labeled 'Tariffs,' into their own front wheel, causing a crash. In the third panel, the character lies on the ground clutching their injured knee. Overlaid on the third panel is a screenshot of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, showing a decline of -2,847.32 points (-6.42%) over the past month, implying a connection between tariffs and the stock market drop

I think the ideal curve over that short of a route is much gentler. But certainly not "straight" over a curved reference plane.

Funny quote from CNN highlighted below: "The two flight attendants on this flight had never landed a plane upside down, said Sara Nelson," Nothing can replace skilled crew members While high-tech engineering likely helped save lives, "You cannot give enough credit to the cabin crew for the safe evacuation of that aircraft," McCormick said. The two flight attendants on this flight had never landed a plane upside down, said Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. But the duo had trained for many scenarios, including evacuating passengers within 90 seconds.

The fact that nobody responded to this joke is an act of workplace violence.

Saw a Cyberdumpster today. I think the clear stickers are to prevent finger oils from marring the metal.

Every time the NYT sends me a "soul-warming 30-minute meal," they might as well label it, "Delicious food your kids will absolutely not eat. Don't kid yourself, bub."
A close-up image of a dish titled “Sausage With Peppers and Onions” by David Tanis. It shows a skillet filled with golden-brown sausages resting on a vibrant bed of sautéed red onions, red, yellow, and green bell peppers. Fresh basil leaves garnish the dish. Below the image are details: a preparation time of 30 minutes, a 5-star rating from 2,317 reviews, and 188 comments. There are buttons for saving, cooking, gifting, and sharing the recipe.

Lots of fun discussion about courtroom artists who seem to hate Rudy, but can we talk about the artist who had to draw two OTHER courtroom sketches as part of his sketch?
A courtroom sketch. The primary focus is another courtroom sketch of an elderly man with glasses, seated at a desk, wearing a blue suit and a tie. He holds a small object, possibly a monocle or another accessory, in his hand. His expression appears serious or contemplative. There is another, similar sketch behind the first.

We fixed the fireplace today. The dogs are into it. (But they did not pitch in)
#DogsofBlueSky
Two small dogs are lying in separate beds near a fireplace with a lit fire. The dog on the left is black and white, resting in a pink bed, while the dog on the right is white with brown spots, lying in a teal bed. Christmas stockings hang above the fireplace, and holiday decorations, including a Santa figurine, are visible on a shelf in the background.
