Submit your feedback. Feel free to copy the comment text in the alt text if you want.
US Open feedback form. Filled out comment text reads, “I was disgusted to hear that broadcasters are being told to suppress any booing of President Trump during the US Open Men’s Final. Maintaining the illusion of popularity and suppressing dissent are hallmarks of dictatorships around the world Don’t be complicit. Don”

I got 4 or 5 comments/compliments on my tie-dye when visiting Port Townsend today. Lots of older hippies in this town?

At any rate, lived the vibes!

Fixed it for you.
Washington Post article headline that reads, “FCC Approves Paramount-Skydance merger after lengthy review”. The words “lengthy review” are crossed out and replaced with “$16 million bribe”

I can’t put my finger on it, but something doesn’t seem quite right about my set up…

There is a conical fermenter on the floor beneath the brew kettle with a dusting of yeast on top of it. Conical fermenter on a brick fireplace. The conical fermenter has a heating blanket and temperature probe taped to it. A blow off tube is coming out of the top of the fermenter and into a glass jar next to it.

If you think those #HandsOff “Grow a spine…” protest signs weren’t effective, I have evidence to the contrary…
List of news article headlines in the Apple News app. A highlighted headline from Axios reads “House Democrats forge ahead with plan to force vote on killing Trump..” with the rest of the headline cut off.

Huge crowd of protesters along the Portland waterfront. Shot taken above from a bridge. The backs of an older couple leaning against a bridge railing, looking down on a large crowd of protesters. A freshly seeded grass area is clear, but the rest of the scene below is wall to wall protesters.

Collection of protest signs. One sign reads WTF America? Another sign reads dump Tesla. Another sign reads less fascism, more cowbell with pictures of Trump and Elon Musk on top and Christopher Walken on the bottom. The last sign has pictures of the Canadian and Mexican flags with the words “we’re so sorry” in between the two.
