Thomas Anderson dropping a regular ass flip phone that everyone and their brother had at the time.
Me in 2023. Thicker, softer, and much younger looking. A male in his early 40s, with long curly hair tied back and a goatee.
The movie poster for Avalon (a Mamoru Oshii film). It's almost as bad as the movie. "Stylish" "Mirracle" "All the world"
Meat
A classy sonofabitch's "grill".
A flight radar app, showing a straight flight path followed by a sudden >90 degree turn.
Some slop shit with a leopard eating a bald eagle. Title as described in post.
Two teeny tiny little planes in the sky.
horny(adj.) late 14c., "made of horn," from horn (n.) + -y (2). From 1690s as "callous, resembling horn." The colloquial meaning "lustful, sexually aroused," was in use certainly by 1889, perhaps as early as 1863; it probably derives from the late 18c. slang expression to have the horn, suggestive of male sexual excitement (but eventually applied to women as well); see horn (n.). As a noun it once also was a popular name for a domestic cow. For an adjective in the original sense of the word, hornish (1630s) and horn-like (1570s) are available.

Machine Learning With Neural Networks An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers Bernhard Mehlig Multi colored branching tree diagrams, overlaid to create a textured pattern similar to an overhead rendering of dense mountain ranges.
A close cropped picture of some very pretty green eyes, with heavy eyeliner in an Anime-like style, swooping out sideways in imitation of monstrous eyelashes.
A small experimental pusher plane in white.
Whispy clouds showing large amounts of stretching along a specific axis.
A morning sky with whispy clouds showing distinct directional movement, with silhouettes of palm trees in the foreground.

Ultraman, a giant silver and red alien who looks kind of like a dolphin fucked a bullet train.
"I think it's really irresponsible of Valve. They shouldn't do it because it makes it much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success. You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does."
"This was a genuine accident, i underestimated my own ability," Brilliante wrote.
With a diameter of around 2.6 km, 3I/ATLAS is moving at more than 60 kilometers per second, faster than predecessors 1I/Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, making it the third interatellar object ever detected.
Bot 1: "Andy Burnham shows why local leaders outthink centralised systems." Bot 2: "Godot's node tree is a rare case where local-first design explicitly resists the flattening logic of model abstraction. Centralized systems would need to tear it apart to ingest it."
Two pairs of shoes, similar... but quite different. To the left, fresh green sneakers with bright yellow insoles. To the right, a pair that is beaten up and has faded to a lighter greyish green.
The bottoms of my shoes. One is smooth. The other has a big ragged hole. Together, they fight crime!
A pretty brunette with dark lipstick looking at camera. Text on screen says ON THE BEACH.
The abomination, as described in post. There's a rusty chimney-style charcoal starter surrounded by bricks, with a VERY LARGE grill on it, holding some browned corn.
Article extract: The X-Men are outnumbered, and Storm is rendered sick by the Morlock called Plague. To save Kitty's life, Storm challenges the Morlocks' leader Callisto, in a duel to the death for the leadership of the Morlocks. Callisto is presented as a complex character who rebels against her position of low social status. Despite Storm's illness, she defeats Callisto by stabbing her with a knife. Callisto is saved through the efforts of the Morlock Healer, and Storm offers the Morlocks refuge at the Xavier Mansion, though they decline.[18] Storm is then made leader of the Morlocks. This fight with Callisto has strong effects on Storm's character, who becomes more defiantly non-conformist.[19] Following this incident, Storm has an encounter with Yukio, a ninja companion of Wolverine's. Storm has a close and intimate bond with her.[20] While the characters' relationship was conceived of as romantic,[21] it was relegated to subtext after Marvel Comics' editor-in-chief Jim Shooter mandated that no same-gender couples could be depicted at Marvel.[22][23][24] These experiences lead Storm to drastically change her appearance.

A man wearing obscenely thick glasses and squinting. Philo, from Stewardess School, portrayed by Brett Cullen.
An alright looking guy in middle-age, with thick dark eyebrows (one cocked lightly), a patchy mostly-grey beard, and hair tied back. Grey hairs splay this way and that like steam rising from hot springs. The background is a small brick yard containing wooden chairs, a green waste bin, and a small gazebo with a charcoal grill.
A screenshot showing some work of the Quantel Mirage, a motion graphics workstation of the early '80s which saw heavy use in news broadcasting, and was one of the earliest devices capable of producing real-time 3D effects and image warping.
a poorly taken phone pic of shadows on the wall, produced by the setting sun passing through leaves, and appearing as bright overlapping circles due to focusing phenomena (bokeh). The corner of a couch-bed, and the head of an acoustic guitar are also visible.
Article Extract: When Grant was nine, his father placed his mother in Glenside Hospital, a mental institution, and told him she had gone away on a "long holiday",[29] later declaring that she had died.[18] Grant grew up resenting his mother, particularly after being told she left the family. After she was institutionalised, Grant and his father moved into Grant's grandmother's home in Bristol.[30] When Grant was ten, his father remarried and started a new family.[20] Grant did not learn that his mother was still alive until he was 31,[31] his father confessing to the lie shortly before his own death.[20] Grant made arrangements for his mother to leave the institution in June 1935, shortly after he learned of her whereabouts.[32] He visited her regularly,[23] including after filming Gunga Din in October 1938.[33]
Article extract: Verse is built on three fundamental principles: It's Just Code: Complex concepts that might require special syntax or constructs in other languages are expressed as regular Verse code. There's no magic—everything is built from the same primitive constructs, creating a uniform and predictable programming model. Just One Language: The same language constructs work at both compile-time and run-time. There is no preprocessor. What you write is what executes, whether during compilation or at runtime. Metaverse First: Verse is designed for a future where code runs in a single global simulation—the metaverse. This influences every aspect of the language, from its strong compatibility guarantees to its effect system that tracks side effects and ensures safe concurrent execution.
Article extract: Verse is a multi-paradigm programming language developed by Epic Games for creating gameplay in Unreal Editor for Fortnite and building experiences in the metaverse. Drawing from functional, logic, and imperative traditions, Verse represents a departure from traditional programming languages, designed not just for today's needs but with a vision spanning decades or even centuries into the future.
