No wonder everyone trusts the AI Google summaries and random stuff posted on social media if clicking a link to a website looks like this.

#1 is how I write normally, #2 is how I write when someone else needs to be able to read it 🥲

Two versions of the text "hello world! What does your handwriting look like?"

The top version is an illegible, melted together mess. The bottom is in blockprint and while not at all pretty, is largely readable.

Oh god, Horse Armor is within the Ask Historians 20 year rule for historical content 💀

Post on r/AskHistorians which asks: The Horse Armor DLC for TES 4:Oblivion is often cited as the first popular DLC and Microtransaction that set the video game industry down it's patb to where it is today. Is this accurate, and how was the Horse Armor DLC received at the time?

What is going on in this timeline

Screenshot from the BBC article on the meeting between Trump and Mamdani.

Headline: Trump says it's okay for Mamdani to call him a 'fascist'

Body: A reporter just asked Mamdani if he stands by his previous comments that President Trump is a "fascist".
Before he could answer, Trump smiled and tapped him on the arm, telling him, "You can just say yes" in response to the question because "it's easier".
Mamdani responded tepidly, "Okay, yes."

One perfect rondel and one loaf

Photo of two cats in a round, white, fuzzy cat bed. One cat is black and rolled up into a perfect circle. The one further back is a tabby and he's more scrunched up into a loaf shape. His little face looks very relaxed.

Sometimes you wake up early and get a view

Dramatic shadows from some palmettos fall on an empty walking path. Bushy flora and benches line the path.

Hiyo, I'm Darya, and I'm an Art Producer! Before this, I produced other departments (like engineering and narrative), before that I was in QA, and before *that* I was a concept artist. It's been a winding road, and this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Why do modern routers look like menacing gamer hedgehogs

A black plastic rectangle with lines angling towards a channel in its center. Light blue light emirates from underneath the center channel. Eight spiky antennae again, but this time only on three of its sides.

A black spiky octagon, with only six antenna, to mix it up. No colors on this one.

If I had political power it would be illegal to do this shit to historic houses. #blocktober ass interior.

Beautiful historical living room with real hardwood floors, a fireplace with tile surround, and elaborate molding. The room has character and exudes warmth.

The same living room, but the hard wood floor is replaced with laminate and of the period architecture is gone, replaced with stark angular walls. The lighting is cold and gray furniture has been added. The room feels uninviting and harsh.
