Data Science is my thing. Fan of FOSS. A good day is writing code in R (#rstats) with no meetings and nary a Microsoft product in sight. Introvert, appreciator of excellence. Should update avatar to have a gray beard now... @embiggendata@c.im on Mastodon

A serene beach scene at sunset, featuring golden hues in the sky and water, gentle waves lapping at the sandy shore, and scattered clouds reflecting the warm light. The photo of Lake Michigan was taken at Kruse Park.
A detailed black and white cross-hatched political cartoon in the style of an editorial illustration. The scene depicts a crowded funeral service. In the center, Donald Trump is seated with his eyes closed in a placid, slightly smiling expression. He wears a black suit with a t-shirt underneath, clearly emblazoned with the "LÖDED DIPER" band logo, complete with the devil horns and the arrow tail. Emanating from behind Trump is a large, complex, stylized cloud of noxious, swirling stink, filled with small flies and the text "P.U." repeated multiple times. This stink cloud flows directly to the left, where it is inhaled by a Secret Service Agent. This man, with a deeply contorted face of extreme disgust, narrowed eyes, and a powerfully curled-up upper lip, is dramatically reacting to the odor, visibly recoiling. Other men and women in the background and on the right are also present, some holding handkerchiefs to their noses with similar expressions of distaste. Below the entire illustration, in a bold, clear stylized font, is the text caption: "Smells like it’s time for A Change". The overall style is detailed, high-contrast, and satirical.

A monochrome image of a corridor featuring white walls and arched doorways. The floor is made of large stone tiles, and long shadows are cast across the floor. Potted plants are visible along the corridor, creating a serene and structured atmosphere.

In a scene from Hot Shots, Captain Benson (Lloyd Bridges) demonstrates his ability to pull a handkerchief from one ear out the other and clean them.
Black and white photo of outdoor patio furniture. The table bears a slab of more than a foot of snow. Even more is piled in the chairs. Barren trees observe silently, in the background.
Grid of 9 images of Indiana University head football coach Curt Cignetti. The first eight have a caption of happy, sad excited, angry, winning, losing, sleepy, and proud. The image is actually the same for each, and Coach has his trademark “Resting Cignetti Face” (i.e. a slight scowl). In the last image, with the label “cracking a cold beer” (his trademark phrase for how he’ll celebrate a monumental victory), he’s grinning ear to ear.
A golden flag with a banner at the top with the title “Trumpistan”. The middle features arms hugging a pile of money, with the obscured individual wearing a crown. Something like an American flag is draped at the top left and right.
Screenshot from the NBA app touting the matchup between the Pacers and Pistons. They have a headshot for the best player from each team. Jay Huff is representing the Pacers, while Cade Cunningham is the champion for the Pistons.
Ms Casey from Severance says: Your outtie’s Pacers are so healthy, strong, and undefeated that the NBA has granted them multiple easyship exemptions. Please enjoy all Pacers games equally.
Boxes of documents (many probably containing classified information) haphazardly stacked in a marble plated bathroom at Mar-a-Lago
1950s style “futuristic” cartoon ad for “Rock ‘Em Siakam Robots”, with the tag lines “Knockout fun for the whole family” and “The future of fun!” Two smiling robots wearing a #43 jersey and an iconic white headband are boxing in the ring.

A group of three men and a female (face redacted for privacy) is standing outdoors, surrounded by palm trees. They are holding a large check made out to "Jeffrey Epstein" for $225,000, signed by "Trump." Below the photo, there is a handwritten note from Trump pal Joel Pashcow, apparently bragging about engaging in sex trafficking with Epstein and Trump.
Movie poster of four Founders dressed as ghoul busters. They are zapping a marshmallow shaped, foul, giant orange-headed apparition dressed in a little sailor boy costume wearing a tiny crown. In the background, a crowd waves American flags. At the bottom is the tagline, “WE ain’t afraid of NO KINGS!”
