A fun thing about Madden 27 is that sometimes it gives you a glimpse of the Ref Creature, a combination of every ref model in the game at once

Screenshot from Madden showing a referee on the field, shown from the side, with multiple models mixed together, including a white male face with a brown beard, both brown and grey hair, a ponytail, a black left arm, and a hat which is white at the front and black at the back. Description ends.

Yeah this one's got the juice

Screenshot from Wikipedia reading:

In late 1973 or early 1974, Carlos cut his hair short and began sporting a "bandit" mustache. He visited a thrift store and purchased several comfortable suits and about 20 white cotton dress shirts. The new wardrobe was inexpensive, looked good, and was comfortable.[17]

Out of the 495 possible scenarios for the 3rd-placed teams in the round of 32… we ended up with the meme number

A photograph of a laptop screen displaying a spreadsheet title WC26 r32 matchups, showing that matchup list number 67 was achieved, with the 3rd-placed teams from groups B, D, E, F, I, J, K and L all going through. Description ends.

The thing about being friends with me is that on occasion I will forget your birthday then text you things like this a few days afterwards

WhatsApp message reading: Skit idea: The Blob The Builder. Bob the Builder but with the Blob from The Blob as the builder. Theme song obviously a key feature. Crucially it MUSTN’T be “Blob the Builder”, the “The” must absolutely be preserved in both the song and all dialogue otherwise it’s barely funny at all. “What are you building today, Blob?” vs “What are you building today, The Blob?”, you get the picture.

I double checked to see if he was actually dead and somehow it might be better if he was

In September 2022 he was announced as an upcoming speaker at the 2022 UKIP conference.[50] and addressed the conference on "wokeness" in October.[51]
In August 2025, he joined Reform at the 2025 Reform UK conference.[52][better source needed] He told a reporter: "I go where the money is."[53]

This, from a “book lovers advent calendar” my fiancée won which turned out to be AI slop. Pretty sure it’s supposed to say “read” but let’s be real it says “dead”

DAY TWENTY-FIVE Not with a bang, but with a second imitation bookplate with AI sloptext. Merry shitscram ✌️

A square of cardboard with a green border featuring plants and fruit. The centre is white, with AI-drenched text intended to say “from the library of”. Description ends.

DAY TWENTY-FOUR Have you ever wanted to tell someone you paused your audiolook JP be here? Now you can, with this otherwise nondescript resin circle!

Charles’s hand holding an approximately 1-inch resin circle, light brown in colour, with white text clearly intended to read “I paused my audiobook to be here” in multiple fonts. AI rendering has distorted “audiobook” to “audiolook” and “to” into some vague shapes that look like of like a J and a P. Description ends.

DAYS TWENTY-TWO AND TWENTY-THREE Holy shit gang we finally did it. Artwork that doesn’t appear to have been touched by AI! It’s crisp and clear! These images are entirely comprehensible! This allows us to see perfectly that they are unrelated to books, adorning their two pieces of cardboard.

Charles’s hand holding two small pieces of cardboard. One is teal with a peach border, and artwork of three orange cats in various poses, adorned with flowers. The other is green with a stylised image of Santa’s head, possibly of some specific culture but I wouldn’t like to make an ignorant guess. Description ends.

DAY TWENTY-ONE FUNCTIONAL ITEM KLAXON: this piece of cardboard is recognisable as a bookmark! Featuring a Stephen King quote so AI-saturated it sometimes looks like the letters are moving.

A rectangle of beige cardboard, with light brown AI-distorted art of books, and text reading “books are uniquely portable magic - Stephen King” in a variety of poorly-rendered fonts. Description ends.

DAY TWENTY I can’t explain how, but this looks much clearer and more legible on the picture. In real life there’s a further level to the AI shitsmear that makes it even harder to make out the words. The machines have started conspiring to make each other look less incompetent. Once again:cardboard

An off-white piece of cardboard with AI-distorted artwork of an open book, notable featuring something that is probably intended to be a bookmark ribbon but actually looks kind of like a slug. Barely-legible text on the right-hand page is just about comprehensible as the words “one more page…” but also looks like it’s been written in rancid marmite and smeared around a bit. Description ends.

DAY NINETEEN Read pavl your bedfime

Two small pieces of cardboard. One is purple with blurry AI-drenched artwork of a god and some books on an unidentifiable mass probably meant to be some kind of seating. The other is dark blue with pixelated, AI-distorted artwork of a book, some stars, the moon and some nondescript spirals, with similarly-distorted text intended to read “read past your bedtime”, but some letters have been so distorted that they look like other letters. Description ends.

DAY EIGHTEEN You would think I would tire of the “supposed to be this thing, but actually a piece of cardboard” trope by now. You’d be right, but it’s still funny. Presumably stickers in the proper version of this calendar. Also: unrelated to books.

Charles’s hand holding a piece of pinkish cardboard, with various cartoon images related to gardening, including plants, animals, garden tools, and the words “plants”, “flowers”, and “birdsong”. All images have a white outline as if they were peelable stickers. Not one is related to books. Description ends.

Me: oh boy I can’t wait to log on to the NFL-related @norsecodepodcast.bsky.social discord and talk about the big NFL game last night, and maybe hear the opinions of football analyst @arif.bsky.social The Norse Code discord featuring football analyst Arif Hasan:

A discord screenshot showing a user with a censored username saying “idk @ArifHasanNFL any comment”. Arif replies “I have no association with crumbl and therefore have no need to register a comment”. The censored user replies “Undamnable lies”. A second censored user posts “why do I know so much about the dongs of ex Vikings players”. Description ends.

DAY SEVENTEEN Probably intended to replicate a pad of notes, but this is, can you believe it, a piece of cardboard. Featuring AI hell version of previous cat

Charles’s hand holding a roughly palm-sized rectangle of off-white cardboard, with a dark green border featuring AI slop artwork, including what seems to be a distorted version of the cat from earlier art including the Christmas tree decoration. Description ends.
