A photo of the thumbnail for the romcom classic Miss Congeniality (2000) that looks like an AI generated poster for a comedy in which a 20 ft tall space alien masquerades as a human in a beauty pageant, and the title says Miss Secret Agent in really generic font
Screenshot: "Because the truth is tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the ax murder who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an ax. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them."

A regular ol' Subaru on a regular ol' commute to work with a large billy goat in the cargo space who is looking at me through the back windshield. His horns are majestic, and I want to hang sweaters from them and make him my personal valet.
Screenshot of email. Text reads: Please be the first Republican to support House Resolution 353 calling on the impeachment of Donald Trump!! He has usurped powers reserved for Congress by imposing devastating tariffs; cancelled programs approved by Congress and ignored Supreme Court orders, violating the checks and balances that allow our democracy to exist; violated the Emoluments Clause by using his office to profit off Cryptocoin; engaged in corrupt dealings by accepting campaign funding from Elon Musk in exchange for the federal government dropping fines for violations; stripped Americans of their rights; and destroyed America's reputation and role in the global economy, thereby endangering our national security. He has violated his oath to the Constitution and the American people in every way possible. Please vote to impeach! He will go down as the worst president ever to hold the office, and as a Republican, it is even more imperative that you are on the correct side when the history books get written.
A collage of images, including Roman soldiers and coins a Viking ax and ship, hands tied with rope, and a cobbles road.
Feedback from on error on Google maps reads: The body of water is mislabeled. It says Gulf of America, but every international organization calls it Gulf of Mexico. That's confusing and wrong. I think Google Maps has been pranked by an idiot.

White House executive order barring k-12 students from, among other things, "feeling guilt, anguish, or psychological distress" about actions that happened in the past... So, basically, you may not actually learn anything from history, ever.
Collage of images: woman holding sword and a Thor's hammer pendant, a dark forest, ancient Roman words carved in stone, hands in prayer, a deer, a series of archways like you'd find in a monastery.
Collage of images: Roman soldiers, Viking ax, an ancient road, a man with a dirty face and a concerned expression, a pile of ancient coins, the bow of a longship sailing towards mountains, a girl with ties wrists

Galavant ad. Two men broodily stare off the poster, belying how delightfully ridiculous the show is.
