Bonus attempt #2 as a watermark. The date is more reasonable, but still wrong.

A different crop of the same screenshot, showing a different AI-generated attempt at the same seal, this time lighter and as a watermark behind document text. The text in the seal says "The state of Massich" before being cropped, and other indistinguishable text that seems to have the word carolicain in it. This time it has the date 1816, which is at least in the past.

Think I should be worried about the RѤS DĘĀEƃALTH OF MASŢꜺITꝻꝞTTƎ.Ꜭ (est. 2816) revoking my drivers license?

Cropped screenshot of the header an AI-generated court notice for traffic violations from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The document text looks official, but The seal in the top left looks vaguely like the massachusetts state seal until you try to read the image's text. The date at the bottom of the seal reads 2816.

Carving weird little guys onto mugs to deal with existential angst

Unfired clay mug with a light purple to green gradient, dark green thin leaves, and an upside down, belly up black tardigrade that somehow looks like it’s smiling

The same mug, from another angle. The handle is to the right and a side-facing tardigrade reaches toward and grasps one of the dark green plant tendrils

A different more squat mug with a light purple to reddish gradient, light green leaves, and three tardigrades popping down from the rim, out from the handle, and up from the bottom

Dark patterns, literally 🤪

Screenshot of the iPhone confirmation screen to turn off Apple Intelligence in dark mode. After a block of white text telling you what you’ll miss out on, there is a medium gray button with nearly unreadable red text that says Turn Off Apple Intelligence. After that is an easily readable button with white text that says Cancel

Screenshot of a color contrast checker showing a contrast ratio of 1.45 to 1 for the red text against a gray background used in the previous photo’s turn off apple intelligence button

I suppose my inaugural post should be about accessibility or something for bRaNdiNg, but I'm going with this lil guy instead:

A photo of an unfired clay jar about 8 inches high and 6 around with an abstract texture around the middle and a domed lid. On the lid is a cute little lizard wrapped around the dome, peering forward at you. Its tail curls up into a round handle for the lid.

A top view of the same ceramic jar, looking down at the lizard so you can see how its body is sculpted in more detail. Some blue plastic and paper towels are in the background.
