A satirical political party asking American voters to write in Count Binface, an intergalactic statesman with a recycling-themed platform.

Why it surfaced

The site gives its fictional candidate a complete campaign apparatus: an origin story, a membership button, a write-in appeal, and policies about affordable housing, hot hand dryers, and government corruption. Its deadpan copy treats one particular public lavatory as a matter of national importance.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.
