A photo of the Adafruit Macropad, running the software Macropad Hotkeys 2. Multi-color LEDs are the keyboard, and a monochrome screen shows some additional details. A rotary encoder is next to the screen at the top right.
A post for a kids' summer day camp titled "Camp - Dystopian Days." The description is "step into a world where survival, strategy, and stewardship intertwine. You’ll embark on a dystopian adventure that tests your courage, creativity, and connection to the natural world. Each day brings new missions to build shelters, forage for food, and decode messages hidden in the landscape. Through teamwork and imagination, you’ll learn to see nature as both a challenge and a guide, discovering that the true goal isn’t just to survive, but to reimagine and rebuild a brighter world."
Prologue: Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks. Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics - and they are mostly clever fools - seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way. Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the difficulties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can.
GitHub's status page, showing all systems being operational. They are, in fact, not. Not to mention there are several historical outages listed that show 99.82% uptime in February.
A "decker" from the Sega Genesis title Shadowrun. A long computer, or "deck," is wired directly into a dude's forehead.
A gigantic plate of chocolate chip cookies
Indiana's Attorney General Todd Rokita standing beside an LGBTQIA+ flag. If you are reading the alt text I'll give you the bonus content: this was part of an "April Fools" Facebook post he made today where he said "The Left wins... They have finally brainwashed me. I am taking down our 'Come And Take It' flag and replacing it with this one. April Fools!" Evidently he didn't realize that we can just TAKE THIS PHOTO HE POSED FOR and share that without the benefit of the other post. HOWEVER - The other flag Todd is referring to is one with a giant cannon shaft on it that says "COME AND TAKE IT." So that is also going on.

Video of Victoria Spartz attempting to explain what DOGE does: "I came from the auditing world... this is a lot of business people... and what they are trying to do is they are trying to automate some transaction."
A screenshot of the application "Monit" and its logging output showing that a wireless network adapter lost its link to the network, the network was restarted, and the link recovered.
A diagram from World Book Encyclopedia's science supplement showing how a new Panama Canal could be carved through Panama using "megaton explosives" and trap "90% of radioactive material" while leaving sixteen hundred foot wide craters for ships to pass through.
Another photo of an article detailing how a second Panama Canal might be created through a series of quasi-controlled nuclear explosions. One diagram shows the path of the new canal through Panama, while on the opposite page a photo shows how we've evidently already tried this out. The photo shows the before and after of Elugelab Island: "The realization that H-bombs are awesome earth movers came first with the very first Einwetok atoll. The blast obliterated Elugelab Island... leaving a mile-wide hole."
A photo of a World Book Encyclopedia science supplement from the 1960's and an entry titled "Continental Engineering: Scientists are developing ways to put the immense power of the hydrogen bomb to work for mankind." In summary, the opening paragraph states how the existing Panama Canal was created "using crude steam shovels and horse-drawn scrapers," then suggests using nuclear bombs to create a second "nuclear-dug canal" in Panama.
