A shot of four shades around the porch with a pair of seats and hanging plants.
A bossy, bald bird sits in front of my face while I pet her head. When I don't pet her correctly, she bites my lip.
A trading card for Kyuperl. She is young and still has all her feathers, including her crest. Her face is especially yellow. She is hanging upside-down from a curtain. The text on the card follows: Name: Kyuperl "Honey Butter" McSqueaks Weight: 98 g DOH: 2.14.2004 Occupation: Hypochondriacal intelligence agent. Quote: "I think I needa go to the vet...." Quirk: Likes to find diseases she has on WebMD. Kyuperl has diagnosed herself with four rare cacners and The Plague. She is quite the celebrity at the vet's office. Kyuperl is a Moon Chicken. She likes to eat chams and is an avid practitioner of Chicken Pilates. Status: Malingering.
Cupil from the video game Skies of Arcadia. It's a floating silver blob with a beady eyes, a big smile, two little flippers, and a curled tail.
Young Kyuperl and Pie Mei enjoy a scone in 2004. They have not yet plucked each other. Their heads are pretty large in relation to their bodies because they were so young.
A female cockatiel enjoys a slice of watermelon. She is primarily yellow due to a mutation called pearling. Her head is plucked.
Xerxes as a baby cockatiel, before his feathers grew in. He is small and pink with little pinfeathers sticking out of him. Unfavorable comparisons have been made to a scrotum.

The Preston family--main characters of the animated series Haha, You Clowns--pose for a photo on their couch. Tom, the patriarch, is surrounded by his three sons Tristan, Preston, and Duncan.
An absolutely incorrect piece of IMDb trivia about the episode: "When Tony offers to stay and comfort Angela, Angela asks 'But what about soccer, what about your date?', however that date was made over the phone before Angela returned home, and no mention was made of the date in her presence."
Microsoft Excel pops up a very obtrusive green balloon above the full-screen button that says, "Need more working space? Looks like your display is not optimised. Toggle FullScreen to maximise screen space."
An extremely crude edit of a panel from an Achewood comic. Roast Beef asks, "Why did you send a check for $10,000 to Hideo Kojima?" Ray responds, "I like their product! I wanted 'em to have a little walk-in' around money!"

Polygon commenter Jan_Arrah writes: "Raph is.. by far the most overrated Turtle, so.. who really cares? He's a generic Wolverine knock off (who is a bad knock off of Timber Wolf)."
Gran Turismo 7. My red 2006 Ferrari F430 shoves between two other red Ferraris, clipping the one on my left as it goes.
Gran Turismo 7. The checkered flag waved as two red Ferraris finish closely at Autodrome Lago Maggiore.

The Bluesky user map places me among Queer Left Artist & Shitposters, Weird Internet Left, and Leftist Queer Community.
Panels from Action Comics #770. Superman tells the Spectre to give him Batman's memories of the Emperor Joker storyline. He says, "Damn your pain, Bruce. We need you too much. I need you. I'm sorry."
Doctor Octopus in the powerful drip of the white suit from The Amazing Spider-Man #334, part one of the Return of the Sinister Six storyline. Pencils by Erik Larsen.
Hacker News commenter lo_zamoyski blesses us with this gem: "'Will of the people' aside, the law is indeed a teacher. It sets a norm and an expectation even when not enforced."
A scan of the same page from a print copy of Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #200.
A male cockatiel sits on my foot. He has turned his head around and tucked his beak into his feathers and closed his eyes, which is a typical sleeping position.
A screenshot of a web page called Why I Blocked You. It has a table of blocked users including a timestamp and the reason, most with a link to the offending tweet.
G. Love of G. Love & Special Sauce on account of the song "Cold Beverage"

A description of a magitech device called a "dynacardium filter" that turns the blood of sentient beings into explosives. I made this for a sci-fi/fantasy True20 campaign.
A message in Discord reads, "[The six-player X-Men arcade cabinet] is for people who have five friends, that is the truest test of any gamer's skill."

A screenshot of a message in the iPhone's Mail app. The text is blurred in a way that smudges gray all over a light background. It's very messy.
Hacker News commenter rollcat posted: "It's crazy how wildly inaccurate 'top-of-the-list' LLMs are for straightforward yet slightly nuanced inquiries. "I've asked ChatGPT to summarize Go build constraints, especially in the context of CPU microarchitectures (e.g. mapping 'amd64.v2' to GOARCH=amd64 GOAMD64=v2). It repeatedly smashed its head on GORISCV64, claiming all sorts of nonsense such as v1, v2; then G, IMAFD, Zicsr; only arriving at rva20u64 et al under hand-holding. Similar nonsense for GOARM64 and GOWASM. It was all right there in e.g. the docs for [cmd/go]. "This is the future of computer engineering. Brace yourselves."
A promotional image for the HBO/BBC co-production Rome. A woman stands in an ancient Roman street. In her hand is a dagger, and at her feet is blood or wine among the stones. To her right, a legend says, "HBO Original - Rome - 20th Anniversary."

Panels from Superman #8 (2016) showing some dreadful art, including dog tags that look like they were put together in PowerPoint.
Hacker News user gnulinux regarding AI code completion: "Do you still have this problem if you add a comment before declaring the variable like 'Note: thingsById is not a dictionary, it is an array. Each index of the array represents a blabla id that maps to a thing' "In my experience they under overvalue var names, but they value comments even more. So I tend to calibrate these things with more detailed comments."
A Polygon article teaser says, "The first great Switch 2 mouse game might be...Mario Art?"
My phone's Home Screen
A piece of manga art from Battle Angel Alita. Koyomi stands defiantly in front of a poster that says "We Want Hope," which she has crossed out with black paint.
Hacker News luminary mhh___ writes one of the dumbest posts ever made: Some people definitely think they aren't impressive. > 1 % of GDP LLMs are basically the only thing genuinely new in decades, that have someone excited in basically every dept in the entirely world, why is it so bad that we spend money on them? The alternative is going back to shovelling web3 crap. There's definitely a new generation of bullshit merchants to go with LLMs but I think they (the models) target a very different part of the brain to normal tech so in some ways they're much more resilient to usual fad archetypes (this is also why some people who are a bit jittery socially hate them)
Fingers press the white slime. Caption: THE ULTIMATE SENSORY EXPERIENCE.
An excerpt from an old blog post: Whenever I want to recommend a comic to my friends, it's a challenge. It's not like recommending movies. Everyone knows you go to the theater to see them, and if you want a preview or want to know what's new, you only have to turn on the TV. Hardly anyone knows where to get comics, and those who do don't necessarily know where a comic shop is. If I don't have some kind of preview—a cover image, sample pages on a website, a copy they can flip through—the recommendation probably won't make an impression. You know what I'm talking about. Your boy enjoyed the last Spider-Man flick, and he says, "Oh, hey, you read the comics, right?" "Oh, yeah," you say. "If you like the movies, you'd probably dig Ultimate Spider-Man." Maybe you have the first trade paperback on you or in the car or something, maybe you're both going back to your place, and you can loan it to him. But if not, what's gonna happen? Maybe he'll walk by a comic shop by chance while out somewhere within days of your suggestion, and maybe he'll still be interested enough to pop inside... ...and even in the best circumstances (clean store, no fanboys, logical shelving), he's gonna be confronted with The Amazing Spider-Man, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man, Spider-Man Family, Sensational Spider-Man, and even books like The Amazing Spider-Girl and, shit, there's Spidey on the cover of New Avengers and which one was the one my friend recommended for me again? And holy God, what are all these collected volumes on these shelves?!
