I have a turbolib neighbor whom I've never met, but since they're flag enthusiasts with what must be an insane vexillology budget I use them to figure out which way the wind is blowing (as it were). It took them weeks after Biden dropped out to remove their "BIDEN / HARRIS 2024" banner, but their hand-painted blue-and-yellow "STOP THE WAR" sign has never wavered, except after storms, when it sometimes takes them a few days to notice it's become askew.

Anyway, since Biden has dropped out their flags have come and gone fairly quickly. There was a donkey, a more straightforward Harris/Walz flag, and another Ukrainian flag. Since the election they had a week or two with a Mexican flag, before moving on to an upside-down American one and another with an illegible message. March Madness must have meant they wanted to (briefly) support their favorite college team, but that team must have lost because now we have another Ukrainian flag up top and, finally, for the first time, a Palestinian flag flying beneath it.

I happened upon this while on my way to the library to pick up this book, which I guess has already been proven partially correct.

Looks like Utah is starting with pride flags

That sucks. Was thinking about the white blue and yellow burned into my retinas.
