I did learn this week (from an Ask This Old House episode, where they cover flag etiquette) that they’ll only put out the new flag around the 4th!

we really need to get one of puerto rico, guam, american samoa, etc. on board as well. 51… 3 x 17? it just seems so unbalanced. ( granted more balanced than the current senate… )

It never occurred to me that, for all its aesthetic and design faults, it is a design that can be programatically generated very easily. I think I could create it in AfterEffects from three shape objects and two repeaters.

I saw this design floating around a couple weeks ago.

Maybe change the design completely. Red stars symbolizing the red states, blue stars symbolizing the blue states, on a solid white background that symbolizes giving up. A new flag produced every four years.

First of all, this is obviously a lie because everything they say is a lie. But second of all, even if it’s not a lie (which again, it almost certainly is), this headline is pretty hard evidence that we’re so far from normal it’s vanished over the horizon. In what rational universe does the headline “White House denies attempting to undermine its own senior epidemiologist by leaking negative talking points to the press” exist?

I amazed that the protests in Beograd aren’t getting much play in the media (Serbian president Vucic has an iron grip on the media, so I guess not so surprising), seems to be both left and right upset over the poor reaction to the epidemic.
