I preferred the book.
The front cover of the 1967 'Endeavour Reading Program' book 'Digger' featured Digger the dog looking friendly.

I wrote a novel. People really enjoy reading it. It's one year old today and I'm still super proud. Feel free to reply with your favourite part.

Did you know that Dr. Clyde Masterfile ( The inventor of taking credit for the hard work of woman ) was actually working with his wife who did almost all of the actual research.

I originally got the speed run achievement for Factorio before all the goals had been created. It felt a bit like stolen valour. Feels good to have finally done it one a 1.0 vanilla world.

I finally got to wear the bomb.
Me wearing a fake explosive surrounded by actors playing the hero and villain from the film Speed. Three figures in dynamic poses in front of an old council bus.

The painting 'The Treachery of Images'. An image of a smoking pipe with the phrase 'This is not a pipe' written in French. The text has been removed. It has been divided up into twelve selectable squares. Underneath the phrase "CAPTCHA: I am not a philistine. Please select every square that contains une pipe"

Popularity of volcanic island over time.
A bar graph that reads 'Popularity of a volcanic island over time'. The lines makes its way up goes parallel for a moment then declines. The result comically shows an outline of a volcanic island.

I mean... what the fuck?!! These curves don't match! The spacing is wrong. What the fuck is that cutout shape?! Steve Jobs would be rolling in his grave!!
A header from a website where the header colour has infected the browser menu. Also a damn clusterfuck of amateurish design issues.

Hands-free rock-climbing? I'm not sure where I stand on that.
An indoor rock-climber mid-climb with his hands behind his back, and using only his feet for traversal.

I'm not the biggest fan of AI art at the best of times but this represents the absolute worst of what it creates. The limitations that make pixel art so delightful are ignored. It's keeps changing the size of the pixel grid. It's a goddamned nightmare image […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I know this makes perfect sense but as a coder it's making my brain hurt.
Two keyboard keys. An open square bracket and a curly brace on the first and a close square and then a curly brace on the second. Read left to right it looks like broken code as the square brackets should contain the curly brackets or vise-a-versa.

Someone made an illustration for the wikipedia entry on the Axial Twist theory and I want one for a pet.
A long thin rectangular prism is twisted 180 degrees in the centre to present a creature that has an adorable smiley face on it that it created to show its orientation but conveyed a charm that seems not to be intended.
