A video of a blue toy car, propelling itself across a desk roughly towards the camera. Focus very sloppily follows the car, overshooting a bit when the car stops. The background is out of focus, but contains a lamp, a ham radio setup, another ham radio, a Nylint toy dumptruck, an copy of the Touring card game from 1918. The corner of a Fujifilm X-A5 camera is just barely in frame, also out of focus. There is the bottom-most part of a trans flag in view. The wall looks blurry, because it's paneling (so it has a texture).
A picture of an FS100U camcorder, with a shotgun microphone attached to it, and a lens attached to the front with an adapter. The camcorder is large and boxy, with lots of buttons and dials and switches.
A picture of a moth sitting on an off-white wall. The camera is tilted to the right a bit. The moth is brown, with lots of brown and black markings. It would blend in well on a tree.
A photo of an AM4 CPU socket on a broken motherboard.
The bottom of a malfunctioning Core i9-13900KF, with some kind of powder smeared across part of it.
A screenshot of Minecraft, with a 2x2 block pillar of deepslate, with torches on the top 3 rows.
A screenshot of Minecraft. There is a boss bar at the top labeled "Server Shutdown", which has at 2 of 10 segments remaining. At the bottom is the test "Server is shutting down in 20 seconds!"
A screenshot of Ninji's quiz, which says: "You are a: Senior Quiz Annihilator. You nailed it, girl! You made it through 30 questions and proved your devotion to my bullshit." It has the following badges at the bottom: Creamy Girl, Egg, Burger Supplier, Neil Cicierega Fan, Cookie Accepter, Pirate, Hydrated...?, Dogspotter Extraordinaire, GDPR Right-to-Erasure Exerciser, Yiffy, Creature :), Breakfast Haver.
Screenshot showing a "PayPal" email to an email address that is not mine.

The guitar in question. An orange Ibanez JTK1.
A screenshot showing a gemspec with the the nonsense version number being made somehow even more nonsensical, as described in the post.
A screenshot showing `jim release` building a "packed" gem, build a normal gem, and upload them both to GitHub Releases.
a screenshot showing that i ran a Ruby script and it generates a tar file that is a byte-for-byte match to a file created using the `tar` command.
A screenshot of the navigation links on my website. The first line has a mid-dot at the end, and the second line does not, so they're misaligned.
A screenshot of running `bundle install` against various Gemfiles. It shows that, with my patch, you can use scoped packages similar to what NPM provides, if you're using GitHub Packages.
A bunch of failing tests, all of the form "expected result.truncated_query to be SOMETHING, but got WUU". Then, at the bottom, "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault."
Valerie Woolard posted a tweet, no replies or quote-tweets allowed, stating: "Hi folks, I am the president of the Ruby Central board. I don't have time to reply to posts individually, but I do want to make clear that recent changes to permissions in our open source projects were done in collaboration with the organization's leadership and not by one person unilaterally"
A screenshot showing the output of compiling C code. The compiler warns a variable named "result" is unused. Then, it warns that the attribute saying "result" is used is being ignored.
A screenshot of part of a Ruby script, which is a comment with the following text: This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger. The danger is in a particular location. It increases towards a center. The center of danger is here. The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours. The form of the danger is a Ruby script that takes perfectly good Rust code and bludgeons it over the head until a C compiler accepts it. I'm sorry. - @duckinator
