Jessica Alba, of Dark Angel fame, pumping her fist, exclaiming "blah blah woof woof"
Google maps image of the New Jersey stadium parking lot and surrounding meadowlands. There is so, so much parking lot. More than one would imagine fitting into a space; a sort of IRL backroom consisting of infinite parking
Sun timetable showing it rising at 4AM and setting at 10PM. That is so early. And so late. How much day can there even be in a day
A picture from the Blame! manga. It is a confusing technoscape mishmash of tubes, stairs and wiring crisscrossing the field of view, seemingly without organizational principle. Nowhere is anything resembling a space humans can use. Incongruously, there is a screen showing a beach with palms and playing humans; in-universe, actual humans are few and far between. It is unclear for whom these screens are intended
A grand passageway, resembling a greenhouse, characterized by stark contrast. It is drawn in such a way as to emphasize the desolate transition from white to black to white to black to - This is not a place of honor
A panel from the Blame! manga. A man is walking on a fenceless balcony past a row of doors. The floor and ceiling form a vertical hourglass, and the row of doors to the left together with the background architecture on the right form a horizontal hourglass. This composition is very intentional and, if you know to look for it, pops out at you in a very funny way

A still from Skinamarink (2022), which shows nothing but a smol dot on a wall, a door frame with the door ever so slightly ajar, and the subtitles [door creaking]. The whole image is grainy af

A still from Lady snowblood (1973). Two characters are talking to each other, standing on the right and leftmost sides of the screen, such that a 4:3 cut centered in the middle would only show the unmoving space between them

Commenter 1: Probably the wrong takeaway, but pineapple on a hamburger is fucking delicious. Commenter 2: The Hula Burger was not pineapple on a hamburger; it was pineapple instead of a hamburger. Commenter 3: Ah. Okay, no.
A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such a violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.
While the name, Euro-Office, may make you think it's based on the well-regarded LibreOffice, it's not. Euro‑Office is a fork based on the open-source core of Ascensio System SIA's OnlyOffice. Despite the name, OnlyOffice has no connection with LibreOffice's ancestor, the Apache Foundation's OnlyOffice. Their codebases are entirely different, and they have different open-source licenses.

Post from mastodon user sargoth: Person: whatcha thinkin'? Me: mixtapes allow you to juxtapose the darnedest songs, such that they talk at each other through mere proximity. For instance, when the Prodigy put N.O.R.E's Nothin' next to The Special's rendition of A message to you Rudy, it heavily implies that these are actually the same songs, albeit in slightly different emotional and energetic registers Person: this seems like some kind of life lesson Me: mixtapes are cool

A corridor wall spray painted with the words "no automation"
A screenshot from EU5. It's a long, long, looong stretch of overlapping notification alerts that inform about one important thing or another, expressed through contextual icons. I reckon it makes no sense for non-players

Post by mastodon user sargoth: Interestingly, one astronomical unit (AU) is 149597870700 meters. Which seems unimaginably large until you look at the last 700 meters, and go did they put those in there just to mess with us? did they know that once you've traversed those initial 149597870000 meters, you're pretty much committed to the bit? did the lander in the Armageddon documentary (starring Bruce Willis) miss the intended landing site because someone rounded out those vital 700m?
An email from wordpress dot com, saying: Spend your time creating - let AI handle the rest
A screenshot from Europa Universalis 5. It's a popup that informs us that we have discovered the exotic locale of New Jersey
A mastodon post, including first the text I'm in no way an AI hater. It has some very good use cases. But in the commercial world, if you are promoting a product or service, the phrase "AI-powered" translates to "didn't read the room". The majority probably don't see that as a plus? (I could be wrong!) Boost if you will to get coverage. The results will be interesting if enough people vote. [end post] and then a poll, where "AI-powered is a negative thing" got 99% of the vote, over the alternative "AI-powered is a positive thing". 1633 persons voted
