Shark week 2023 began July 23, so when I started this accumulation some months ago I assumed it would be the same week in 2024, and scheduled it for then. But I guess the chaos around the Discovery / HBO / Warner merger confused even the sharks, and shark week was last week.
Testing whether some drop-in CSS (many thanks, larK!) will improve the appearance of blockquotes.
The comparison will not be two different places in this post , but comparison in time, viewing before and after adding the CSS snippet and refreshing the browser. (Gee , somebody had a blockquote in a comment yesterday or today — maybe I can find that to also look at.)

And a short quote
Catptivity!
Gotta love the bugeyes on this guy!
“What did the polite convict say after accidentally bumping the touring Governor visiting the facility?”
Should that be Le Croissant de Death?

Thanks to BillR for sending!
Probably not helpful:
Boise Ed sends this in. “I’m unfamiliar with church practices, but it appears that the customer is envious of the priest’s abundant hair, and has asked the priest about using placebo and “alternative reality.” But then why would the priest have to remind him of his baldness?
