Screenshot from BBC news summarising Burnham's new cabinet. Shabana Mahmood is still Home Secretary (despite her being vile) and Wes Streeting is now promoted to Defence Secretary (despite being a nasty little corporate shill).
Shitty AI generated slop image, posted originally by Trump, showing a giant aquila (golden eagle statue) with 11 stars to indicate the states that seceded from the union because they wanted to keep owning slaves.

Octocat, the mascot of GitHub. It has a chibi human face, but cat ears and whiskers, and the body is 5 tentacles, one of which has suckers and is dripping. Despite sounding from this description like a Lovecraftian horror, it's actually fairly cute.
My results from https://amiatechbro.com, I scored 6% for disruption.
Screenshot of my score in the game: 42/80 Reached: Forbidden Solid. You clearly write CSS for a living. Or at least copy-paste it with confidence.
Screenshot of a TypeScript compile error - the terminal shows a failure because `catch(error) { error.name === '...` isn't allowed (as, stupidly, it thinks error is `unknown` rather than `any`). The code itself doesn't show the error.
Cure logo from the Wish album tour. Every letter of C U R E is the same curved C shape rotated, with the bar of the E formed by the top of the R
In the style of the Dune movie poster: "CURE Might have done this ambiguous same letter shapes thing first"
Photo of the original chimney with the 80's brick fake fireplace remover from in front of it. The wallpaper behind the fireplace is 60s lepoard print.
An impressively shit painting of a boring looking old white dude, in a blue suit and dark red tie.
And the inversion is sharper than it looks. When code was expensive to produce, senior engineers could review faster than junior engineers could write. AI flips this: a junior engineer can now generate code faster than a senior engineer can critically audit it. The rate-limiting factor that kept review meaningful has been removed. What used to be a quality gate is now a throughput problem.

Gorton and Denton by-election results: Green 40.7% Reform 28.7% Labour 25.4% etc
A quote from Good Omens: NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system: Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea. The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated
Screenshot of @k17.dev on a BlueSky map, hanging out with Spanish Academics and French techies, despite only posting in English and mostly Lefty UK politics and web dev, which are a long way away.
Close up of the top corner, showing the Victorian plaster moulding above the bricks and the wooden joist resting on the them and an inch below the ceiling.
Another photo of the same fireplace, now with some of the plaster stripped, the leaky gas fire removed and the walls either side demolished.
Photo of an incredibly cluttered living room. Centre of the wall is an absolutely massive 80s brick fireplace, with low brick walls either side. Across the top of the wall is a wood-effect joist.

@BBCNews post on 𝕏, unironically trying to drive engagement to their news site with a story about how 𝕏 should be banned. Despite it being an official account for one of the most known news organisations in the world, it has almost no engagement, with 12 replies (all from blue tick chuds) and just 4 retweets.
My GitHub in review. Too many weekends worked, top 1% contributions, 13 days streak, HTML top language and "sage mode" whatever that means
Screenshot from the documentary linked above. The text says "Boris Johnson" but the man pictured is an AI slop version, yassifed like a shit Instagram filter.
In a scene from Home Alone 2 the protagonist asks a famous New Yorker where to go. Said celebrity is blacked out and redacted in exactly the same way that he is in the Epstein files.
Note, on a scrappy cut square with white text on a black background. It reads: Hi, 1st of all welcome to the neighborhood hope you'll be very happy in you're new home the reason for the letter is the monster tree ok the property the council wouldn't do anything as the house has been empty for a long time but as you can see it needs a good trimming back as it shadows over so many properties around so it would be much appreciated if this was put on you're list to do Thanks you Neighbourhood watch
Screenshot of the linked petition, showing 100k signatures reached. Parliament is going to have to debate Russian influence.
Comparison of two propaganda images, one by UK's fascist Reform party, the other by Germany's fascist Nazi party. Both show a long line of desperate refugees and aim to dehumanise them as a problem that must be stopped.
Pair of statistical charts comparing 2 distributions. First is labelled "what Labour believe" and shows a normal or bell curve, showing few on the far right, few on the far left, and most voters in the centre. The second is labelled "how people actually vote" and shows a bimodal distribution with lots on the left, lots on the right, and "fucking nobody" in the centre. This is an illustration of why Labour are so shit at both being in opposition and as the current government.

Tuxedo Winnie the Pooh meme. He's not interested in "taxing 6-figure earners who still can't afford a house" He's there for "taxing folks that don't bother to work because they already own lots of houses" I'm saying Pooh is a Marxist.
Cartoon about Gove stepping in as an expert because he wrote an article about it once
Malo Korrigan and the Space Tracers. I struggle finding evidence this evening existed, there are 2 episodes on YouTube and the rest is lost.

리춘히, host of North Korea's news. She tells you all the 'facts' that you're allowed to know.
Empty space in carpet where brick island used to be
U shaped brick wall, 4 bricks wide by 3 deep, 13 courses high (about waist height). The front right corner looks like someone hit it with a sledgehammer.
Speedometer in a Seat Arona. The gap between 40 and 60 is the same as 60 to 100
A copy of the Encyclopedia Galactica that fell through time from the future and describes the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came"
Sky Q home page, with a message saying that it's lost its network connection.
Nasty corrupt old shitbird Cuomo runs against his own party. The top reply is from Mamdani, who beat him in the primaries, posting nothing but a fundraising link for himself. It ratios the living shit out of Cuomo's cringe video.
A set of <input type="datetime-local"> date pickers, with the selection icon matching the colours for the control.

Minions/Gru 4 panel meme where he's shocked at his own flipchart. 1. We replace 90% of our workforce with AI 2. Our operating costs are lower 3. Every other company does the same thing and now no one is buying our products since they're jobless 4. Gru looks shocked at the previous statement.

Shitty anti-privacy behaviour from The Guardian

Cover art from Bela Lugosi's Dead on Amazon Music. It shows Good Luck Chuck, a romcom so obviously forgettable that nobody can remember whether they've seen it or not.

Post from 2020 showing a photo of my child dressed up for book day at one of the tortoises from Jon Klassen's We Found a Hat. In the replies, Jon Klassen approves.
