I guess it's time to congratulate preventable infectious diseases on their victory in the war against preventable infectious diseases.

The use of brain worms as a propaganda tool was especially effective.

looks like lynn is planning to repaint
This photograph shows a stylish, eclectic interior space with high ceilings and exposed brick walls. The room features a dramatic gallery wall covering most of the brick surface, filled with an assortment of framed artwork, photographs, and decorative pieces in various sizes and styles. The architectural details include white exposed beams on the ceiling and a white support beam. A staircase with white railings is visible on the right side of the image, ascending at an angle. The walls are painted in a deep navy blue color with distinctive white painted sections that create an artistic, abstract pattern - almost like clouds or organic shapes against the blue. [Lynn has confounded Claude.] On the left wall, there's a vibrant red artwork with colorful elements. The furniture includes a decorative green console table with ornate detailing positioned against the brick wall, topped with small potted plants and decorative items. A tall indoor plant (appears to be a fiddle leaf fig) in a pot stands nearby on the hardwood floor. The overall aesthetic is artistic and bohemian, mixing industrial elements (exposed brick), modern design (bold wall colors), and vintage/eclectic decor pieces. The space has a loft-like quality with its high ceilings and open feel, suggesting this might be a converted industrial or commercial building transformed into residential space. ALT by Claude

I am holding up a vinyl record album with a bright yellow/orange cover. The album features Count Basie and Neal Hefti dressed in vintage baseball uniforms - one wearing a dark cap and the other wearing a red cap. The text on the cover reads "Basie plays Hefti" (with "EMUS" visible at the top, part of a reissue label). The photo is taken in a home workspace. In the background, there's a white shelving unit containing various items including: • A black sculptural bust on the left • A small framed photograph • Some wooden decorative objects • Multiple books and notebooks arranged vertically • Various photographs and papers • Small toy cameras on the shelf The setting suggests this is a collector's space or creative workspace with an eclectic mix of art objects, books, and memorabilia. The vintage jazz album being displayed is clearly a prized piece from this collection. ALT by Claude

this soundtrack of the 1967 dudley moore flick "bedazzled" and it's not only great, it's amazing: the music is written and performed by dudley moore, so now i absolutely have to see this movie
This is a vintage movie poster for "Bedazzled," a comedy film from 20th Century-Fox. The poster features a distinctive 1960s design aesthetic with red, gray, and white horizontal stripes as graphic elements. The poster prominently displays the stars Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in their first starring comedy together, with illustrated portraits of both actors - Cook on the left with a more serious expression, and Moore on the right with a broad smile. There's also an image of a woman (Eleanor Bron) on the left side. The center features a woman (Raquel Welch, credited "as Lust") reclining in black lingerie in a provocative pose. The title "bedazzled" is displayed in bold red lowercase letters with a distinctive 1960s-style font. The poster notes it was "Produced and Directed by STANLEY DONEN" with screenplay by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, and music by Dudley Moore. It was filmed in "PANAVISION® - COLOUR BY De LUXE." The promotional text describes it as "HILARIOUS-OUTRAGEOUS" and notes this is "Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in their first starring comedy!" This is clearly a promotional poster from the 1967 British comedy film, a satirical take on the Faust legend. ALT by Claude

Photo of Rod Sirling giving the intro to the Twilight Zone. Behind him, an image of Donald trump. Text in description.
"Enter Donald J. Trump, two-bit conman, television huckster, a denizen of gaudy casinos and smoke-filled back rooms, who conned himself into the biggest job of all. He is our guide to a new realm you won't find on any map: a world of his own creation, where words like 'truth' and lie' no longer have meaning, where man's darkest instincts are given license, and where things like human decency and tolerance are relics of a bygone day. Case in point: Mr. Donald Trump, a man with one foot in his mouth and the other... in the Twilight Zone."

they say all the ginkgo trees drop their leaves on the same day … yesterday was the day
This photo captures a beautiful autumn scene on an urban sidewalk. The ground is carpeted with bright yellow ginkgo leaves that have fallen from a tree, creating a striking contrast against the dark pavement. The distinctive fan-shaped ginkgo leaves are scattered densely across the brick or paver walkway, with the heaviest concentration around the base of a tree trunk visible in the frame. The leaves display the characteristic golden-yellow color that ginkgo trees are famous for in fall, with some showing hints of green as they transition. The setting appears to be a city street, with a metal tree grate visible around the trunk and what looks like a curb and possibly a street or parking area in the background. The wet-looking pavement suggests recent rain, which has likely contributed to the leaf drop and gives the scene a glossy, reflective quality. The composition creates a lovely study in contrasts - the organic scatter of natural leaves against the geometric patterns of the urban hardscape, and the vibrant yellow foliage against the muted grays and browns of the pavement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ALT by Claude

the food truck in the parking lot of the marathon station on the corner of washtenaw and golfside is AMAZING!!!!!!!
This photo shows a vibrant food truck with eye-catching branding. The truck features a distinctive design with flame graphics wrapping around the exterior, giving it an energetic, fiery aesthetic. The prominent circular logo displays what appears to be tacos and includes text mentioning “ASADA” and location information for Ann Arbor. The truck has a modern design with large serving windows that fold open, allowing customers to order from outside. A menu board is visible on the side, and there’s an “OPEN” sign displayed. The exterior graphics include appetizing food photography showing items like tacos and al pastor meat on a spit. The food truck is parked on worn asphalt pavement in a parking lot. The setting appears to be autumn, given the trees with yellowing leaves visible in the background. The sky is partly cloudy with dramatic cloud formations allowing sunlight to peek through, creating interesting lighting in the scene. The dual-axle trailer setup indicates this is a substantial mobile food operation, and the professional wrap and branding suggest an established business rather than a startup venture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ALT by Claude

i stayed in a hotel with an amazing view 25 years ago
This photograph captures a stunning view from inside a hotel room looking out through large glass doors onto a balcony or terrace. The view showcases Mont-Saint-Michel, the famous medieval abbey and fortress situated on a tidal island in Normandy, France. In the foreground, there are two floral-patterned upholstered chairs flanking a small round dark table, creating a cozy seating area. The room opens onto a balcony with glass railings and what appears to be outdoor furniture including a blue table. Beyond the balcony, the view extends across flat marshlands and salt meadows (known as "polders") with patches of green fields and vegetation. Mont-Saint-Michel rises dramatically from this landscape in the distance, its iconic Gothic spire and medieval architecture creating a distinctive silhouette against the sky. The water surrounding the mount is visible, showing the tidal flats that make this UNESCO World Heritage site so unique. The image is taken during daylight hours with good visibility, allowing for a clear view of this spectacular landmark from a premium accommodation with one of the best views of Mont-Saint-Michel available in the region.

My hand is holding up a classic vinyl record album: "Time Out" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Columbia Records 1959 stereo release (catalog number CS 8192), one of the most celebrated jazz albums of all time and one of the first jazz albums to sell over a million copies. It features the classic lineup of the quartet: Dave Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, Joe Morello on drums, and Eugene Wright on bass. The track listing visible includes "Strange Meadow Lark," "Three to Get Ready," "Kathy's Waltz," "Everybody's Jumpin'," and "Pick Up Sticks," along with the famous "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo A La Turk." The album is known for its use of unusual time signatures. The cover features a distinctive abstract geometric design with circles, semi-circles, and angular shapes in earth tones — browns, oranges, blues, and beiges — against a dark background. The artwork was created by S. Neil Fujita, a renowned graphic designer who created many memorable Columbia Records album covers during the 1950s and 60s. His modernist design for "Time Out" has become one of the most recognizable album covers in jazz history. The cover was considered a risk at the time, as it did not show a photo of the musicians.

I’m working as an election inspector today (6am to 9pm). There’s only a single question on the ballot, a county-wide school millage, and what with vote-by-mail and early voting, I’ll be surprised if we get even 20 in-person voters all day. In fact, we just got our first.
