Ha! I just had an AI create it, using the prompt:

"Portrait of Emmanuel Kant, in the style of Shepard Fairey"

Edit/ mainly I wanted to highlight his perpetual peace proposal, which is pretty good, especially for its time.

Duh! It's the USOs, man! NOAA is up to their necks in it!

"The former head of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is launching a probe into unidentified submersible objects (USOs) and, in particular, a strange anomaly seen on the seabed off the coast of California.

Timothy Gallaudet, a former rear admiral in the US Navy, has spent the past 18 months interviewing dozens of sailors..."

Eventually in each tribe an elite group of shamans is formed; their self-appointed task to act out elaborate, sarcastic, reaction gifs.

@TidalFlats @FrankFrank @12thRITS @edwilk

Then one summer, at the Fertility Festival of all Peoples, an argument began amongst the shamans as to the pronunciation of 'gif', which led to insults, then fist fights, and finally, all-out war.

And that's what happened to the Neanderthals.

No, we don't want that. It could lead to another Bosch/Bosch crossover, like last time.

In their defense, no one at this medical practice has ever offered to show the relics of St. Possumus for a small fee.

Ode to our new washer and dryer.
I know it seems silly to get excited about new appliances, but that is the direction my life is going.
My daughter pestered me for more than a year to replace our 25 year old Maytags. I kept saying, but they still work. She kept saying they still run, but they don't work very well.
Finally, she said they would buy us a new set as a gift. I was hesitant but caved. I didn't let them pay, but she made all of the arrangements.
She was so right. I am washing everything with enthusiasm. Instead of sounding like a semi backing up, the dryer sings to me when the load is dry. This is a happy thing.
I still had the manuals for the top of the line Maytags with the receipts attached. They cost just as much way back when as our new ones now.
I need to be less stubborn.
