JUSTICE FOR LASER LOON!
Blah? You mean the deeply offensive Islamic flag?
Is he sure he’s not referring to South Carolina?
Preaching to the choir:
Minnesota officially started flying the new flag, at least at state government buildings, May 11th, which was Minnesota statehood day. I like the new flag and all, but seeing it against a blue sky makes me question my initial thoughts. It’s almost too blue. I’m wishing for an additional color or stripe somewhere to offset all that blue. But I’ll probably get over it; it’s certainly better than the flag it replaced.
The original version of this flag did have three broad stripes on the righthand side. I don’t know why they got rid of them. I thought they looked better than the light blue field that replaced them.
I guess I jumped the gun by flying my new Minnesota flag a few weeks ago.
Mike Lindell is himself a great symbol of Minnesota - a fucking loon.
How about a gold fringe…?
Hmm. That would require another loon willing to copulate with him, wouldn’t it?
So it is. Never having been there, I would have thought that it would have very rocky, thin soil like the Canadian Shield. Part of me knew that most of it actually has deep sediments from the glaciers, but that didn’t properly register until I looked at some random sites in Google Street View, and they are indeed quite lush.
I think vegetation looks healthiest when it is in deep sediments or limestone, and Minnesota has a little bit of both.
If he’s doing is wrong, the other loon could be under the water.
New state flag thing has now moved to Maine (gift link)
It does have restrictions, so not just any design will do. It has to be similar to an earlier Maine flag that has a tree in the middle and a star in the upper left corner. Sounds a bit too restrictive to me.
That sounds to me like they’ve already chosen the new flag, and are just asking the public to rubber-stamp it.
Whatever, it’s still one less blue bedspread with a crest.
A rather dictatorial tone from the state.
Old versions: too-detailed state seal on blue background, optional Confederate visual dog-whistle
New versions: wavy line if there’s a river, jagged line if mountains. Basic color pallet. Designed as if a freshman-level graphics art school assignment for corporation client, graded on anodyne value.
Sounds like they know what they want to see but also know they themselves could not do a good design.
And they don’t want an open contest where you just KNOW someone would propose a lobstah wearing LL Bean boots shooting lasers from its eyes.
Boaty McBoatface is why we can’t have nice things.
Yep. The public can be silly sometimes.
Would that be Lobstery McBeanface or Beany McLobsterface?
I’m sure one of our resident AI “artists” could come up with a pretty awesome flag starting from @JRDelirious’s fine ideas. Hint hint.
