A Kodachrome moment in what could be Everymans living room at 3:03 a.m., between the Infomercial and Home Shopping Network, Facebook and The Real Donald Trump on Truth Social.

The promise of “But wait there’s more!” forever unfulfilled.

The sudden realization that there won’t be more.

This is all there is, this lonely little screen, this is all there ever will be, and between the “low low prices” and “everything gotta go” jingles you are simultaneously compelled and horrified that you might buy a combination battery charger, compressor and pedicure kit that slices and dices, and everything that is not a lie is a conspiracy.

But the time to act is now, the grey voice drones on...

A ungodly hour, certainly,

Another sleepless night.

Viewing this print leads one to wonder:

Has the observer been driven to violence?

Three shots to the screen?

Or is something --aliens or giant ants, Kristi Noem or even Ron Popeil himself-- trying to get out?

Travelers advisory...

 "Please do not rely upon the US government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time"

Stating the obvious

 What I wanna know is which shot killed Ms Good.

The one through the windshield, or one of the two through the driver's side window?

Will we ever find out?

Probably for some people, it won't make a difference. She disobeyed an order. He thought he was in danger.

But the implication is obvious. If the kill shot came through the driver's side window, the officer was probably no longer facing an imminent threat, assuming there ever was one.

Had he not pulled the trigger , they would both be alive.

Silk Road Ark

 While the US sends an armada to the Caribbean, China sends a hospital ship, the Silk Road Ark. The USA takes military action in Venezuela, and the Silk Road Ark treats thousands of patients in Nicaragua and Jamaica on its Caribbean tour. China establishes goodwill and partnership throughout South America, and the USA hits them with tariffs and cancels USAID.

And threatens Greenland
