It’s Sunday, and it’s time for another “picdump!” Here are the memes, pictures, and cartoons floating

Trump’s video
You’ve probably heard about the AI-generated video that Trump posted to Truth Social, where he interrupts Stephen Colbert’s farewell monologue on the last episode of The Tonight Show to throw Colbert into a dumpster. I’ve posted the video below, as an unlisted video on my own channel, to ensure that I don’t have to point to some MAGA account and help them profit from it:
The actual White House Twitter account reposted the video, which is another data point for the “Everyone is twelve now” theory:
Colbert’s video
What makes for far better and longer viewing is Stephen Colbert’s return to public access television a mere 23 hours after the final Tonight Show. He returned to his roots on Monroe, Michigan’s Monroe Public Access Cable Television, which is now called Monroe Community Media 1, to host their show, titled Only in Monroe.
He was joined by a number of famous locals:
- Only in Monroe’s regular hosts, Michelle Baumann and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson (who was Miss America in 1988). They drank shots of Cain & Grain from a local distiller, River Raisin Distillery.
- Jack White — yes, the Jack White from The White Stripes, as the musical director, complete with boom box and reel-to-reel tape player.
- Steve Buscemi, who made a public service announcement for the Buscemi’s Pizza in Monroe to clarify he has no connection to them
- Byron Allen, via FaceTime. He’s taking over “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” timeslot with back-to-back episodes of his syndicated Comics Unleashed.
- Jeff Daniels, who joined for an on-screen picnic lunch featuring a sandwich he invented, followed by destroying the set, with the approval of…
- …an unofficial fire marshall names Marshall Mathers, whom you might know as Eminem.
If you watch only one of the two videos featured in thsi article, make it the second one.
If you watch only one public access cable show this year, make it Stephen Colbert’s episode of Only in Monroe.

Great news for people in tech
I saw the display pictured above a couple of days ago, and it’s evidence we’re deep in a high-protein health craze. After all, did you expect that someday, there would be high-protein Doritos, with 10 grams of protein in every serving?
This leads me to this inescapable conclusion: Doritos are health food now.
It’s that time of year, and this is that kind of blog, so here’s the 2026 edition of my traditional Mother’s Day greeting. Happy Mother’s Day from the baaaadest mutha of them all!
Since since we’re talkin’ ’bout Shaft…

I’ve done the occasional Tampa-to-St. Pete commute during peak times, and they can easily stretch to over an hour. For those trips, I’ve found a Starbucks “Venti” (Italian for “twenty,” and denoting 20 ounces of drink) or an American large-sized pop (varying from 16 – 30 ounces) to be plenty.
But there are people with longer commutes, stronger thirsts, and bigger bladders for whom the standard cup holder is not enough. Fortunately for these thirsty customers, there’s a whole industry of cup holder adapters, and within that industry, a specific kind of adapter: the half gallon milk crate adapter:
The ad copy for the version available at Walmart’s online store says it’s “Specifically designed to hold half-gallon square cartons, milk jugs, and large juice boxes that don’t fit in standard round cup holders”…
…and thanks to 3-D printing and the entrepreneurial spirit, there’s no shortage of Etsy vendors who can sell you one:
While I’ve never felt the urge to take a half gallon of ice tea, juice, or milk as my long-drive drink (mostly because the drink would get warm before I was halfway done), I’m pretty sure there’s a sea of customers out there who are looking for this kind of thing.
Besides, the adapter also doubles as container for keeping things organized in your car.
