I was trying to find more details on the author of a new paper on dinosaur skin color when I saw this. I was typing fast and it flashed past, but my brain could still tell that something was wrong. Backing up got me this. One of these things is not like the others One of these things doesn't belong

A google search. The search box contains "tess gallagher dip". The first suggestion is "tess gallagher diplodocus". The third is just "tess gallagher". The fourth is "tess gallagher images". The fifth is "tessa gallagher". The sixth is "tessa gallagher paleontology". But the second is "can a cosmetologist use a straight razor in michigan".

Post a ship that's not star wars or star trek.

A freighter from Star Cops. It is composed of multiple polyhedral cargo modules attached to a long central structure that looks like scaffolding. Two engine modules are in the rear.

I just asked Google Maps for directions from where I am to Mount Doom. It's a 7-hour drive, but Google Maps informed me of one potential issue.

I just wanted to make the Spirit Island VASSAL module a little smaller, but here we are...

Image compression software running on a command line. The image currently being compressed is "the border of life and death.png". The words "Optimizing the border of life and death" are circled.

to this githyanki. LAE'ZEL: Baking? You expect me to *bake* something? I didn't slaughter dozens of my classmates so I could bake cupcakes. Bah.

Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3 has green skin, long brown hair, a tiny little notes, and long ears. She is wearing fancy armor and wielding a very long sword. She does not look like she is in the mood for any nonsense.

Lord Enver Gortash owns Absolute Cupakes. Despite not being a contestant, he won first, second, *and* third prize on this year's Lower City Bakeoff after all the contestants accidentally cut off their heads while shaving. But today, he's phoning in his instructions...

Gortash from Baldur's Gate 3 is a smug, scruffy man with expensive clothing that shows off his not-exactly-muscular chest. His face is in desperate need of a good, solid punch.

to this tiefling. KARLACH: I follow orders well, but I've never baked anything before. That's, like, measurement and stuff, right? *squees* Sounds fun! As long as I don't get stuck with some puke like Gortash.

Karlach from Baldur's Gate 3 has messy black and red hair, horns, long ears, a pointed tail, and red skin. Her torso glows like there's a fire in her heart. She looks fierce.

Raphael owns the souls of at least a dozen top-rated chefs, and his X account @raphcakes has over a million followers. He won last year's Hell's Kitchen after murdering at least six other devils. But today, he's going to be phoning in his directions...

Raphael, the cambion from Baldur's Gate 3. He has red skin and several sets of horns. He is wearing very expensive clothing, which I guess is specially tailored for his wings.

Hey @intenselyeric.bsky.social, Selecting Devouring Teeth Lurk Underfoot as Player 1 and pressing Ctrl+Cmd+Shift+Alt+J three times now lets you play as John Waters Lurking Underfoot in the Spirit Island module.

A game of Spirit Island online. The chat reads "John Waters!" three times, followed by "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite spirit on the island!" The spirit panel shows Devouring Teeth Lurking Underfoot with a picture of Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect series looking upward crudely pasted over the spirit's art. Two of the unique power cards are turned over, and Shepard's face is again crudely pasted over the art on the back.

SURPRISE SUE: A surprise party? For the enemy? Oooooohhhhhhh!! I love surprises! *falls over and rolls along the ground, knocking over a weapons rack and startling horses* SUN TZU: *takes a long drink* Let's start again. We call them "the enemy" because we aren't friends.

The character Surprise Sue from Saturday Night Live, played by Kristen Wiig, writhes in excessive, unhealthy levels of anticipation.
