Much happier here than I ever was on Twitter. I really appreciate all of you. So many funny and fascinating people. [Image from wall in Hamburg, Germany].
Image is stencilled graffiti that shows Elon Musk seemingly giving a siege heil to a brain attached to a string floating away from him. It is a parody of Bansky's famous "Girl with Balloon" which first appeared on a street in London in 2002.

Alphabetically, zomp is the final colour. As a kid I had to come home when the streetlights went on. My mother would call out from the doorstep, "JeannnnnnnPierrrrre". My friends in Welland, Ontario thought it sounded like 'Zompierre'. That's how I became known as zomp. Zomp became a colour in 2018.
