An alternative is making a more deliberate social commentary that resonates with your peers. Like this:

Since we're just giving these away now, it took just minutes to "earn" this Nobel Prize. Alt text for a11y and for extra snark. www.theverge.com/24242800/ai-...
An obviously AI-generated photo of a designer holding the Nobel Peace Prize, which our arrogant, insecure, egomaniacal dictator wannabe thinks he earned by pressuring someone else to give him. The designer has photo editing skills, but is using Gemini to comment on the social problems and ease with which one can spread disinformation today, as it's faster and cheaper than ever with nearly no effort to get consumer grade software that can generate fake images, and even remove the Google Gemini Gem watermark icon that was on the bottom using Apple Photos. If you've made it this far, thank you, and appreciate you for checking out the alt tags for a11y needs.

Someone at Amazon hates the Mets if this is the top search result.
A screenshot of a user searching Amazon for a Mr. Mets plush and the top result is a Mr. hanky plush from South Park. Seems like a pretty shitty joke on the user.

@tommorelloofficial.bsky.social what do you think of this photo I took outside my kid’s music class in an affluent suburb of Philadelphia? Feels like it could be useful for future album art. I need to find an up and coming band who needs it. Read the alt text for fun. 😉
Graffiti observed scribbled on the wall of an affluent suburb of Philadelphia that reads “FUCK ICE!” It’s a sign that rebellion is built on hope and that the person who did this has had enough of Stephen Miller’s racist demagoguery. His manipulation of an easily persuaded, elderly fool desperate to escape the judgement of his actions is on borrowed time. You can’t outrun the clock forever. Tik tock, you pandering callous bastards.

This feels familiar.
Web pop-up message, asking the user to change to Google Chrome, as if that's the only web browser people use. Telling the user what browser to use is annoying. Screen asking if user wants to use Internet Explorer on Mac in the 1990s. Screen telling the user the website needs Internet Explorer

A thing that people liked most about Lincoln was that he was a collaborator, and even in the darkest of times he remained thoughtful. I’m curious what Honest Abe would think about some people using his name to promote their political agenda. Good luck America.

Would it make more sense for Apple design to make your morning meds fill up the circle at the top, since it’s the top of the day? Asking for a friend.

Do they make the customer experience this bad at Costco for the sake of some loss prevention? This is what keeps me out of Target. Where’s the “Help” button?

Not sure if the fine folks at @manischewitz.bsky.social are active here on @bsky.app, but the package design team did a great job. It was a bold move to change from the dark green banner at the top of each package.

What am I agreeing to here? Is it just for access to control elements of my computer to enable accessibility functions? It sounds more ominous than that. This is where proper UI content writing is a KEY part of UX.

Whoever says video games are bad for you never built Tetris skills up enough to apply them in useful ways. Now I just need to play some Eastern European themed music with a timer, and I can get my kids to load the dishwasher.

Meme sequel.
A tweaked image of the famous photo of the boy who was mowing the White House lawn in a red shirt.  Photo has been obviously tweaked with a superimposed head of JD Vance, showing him as the boy mowing the lawn. Aspirational king Donald Trump is telling him in a speech bubble: “Elon’s in charge. Here JD, make yourself useful.”

This isn’t unheard of. Depends on how hard they want to compete for your $. I would contact another dealership of the same brand & model you were into to see if they do it before going in. I’ve had extended test drives from Mitsubishi and Hyundai, & just this week, Tesla offered (hah, NOPE).

Is buying Super Bowl swag a jinx? I couldn’t resist this beautifully creepy dark French Quarter aesthetic with an Eagles logo and SB logo on the back. Not the cliche generic italic bold font you always see in templates for The Big Game each year. Inspired choice by a New Era product designer!

As far as web standards have come, it’s amazing how unreliable email apps, clients, and web apps are. The fact that the “Click here” takes you to a web page that’s more reliable to present email client says a lot.

Guess it's too much to expect Apple's AI-powered Image Playground app to properly render a Hanukkah menorah with the correct number of candles and candle holders that don't break physics.

OpenAI chose "Canvas" as the description for the selection for content writing. Do writers think of the blank page as a "canvas?" I always associated "canvas" as something a visual artist medium and thought writers think of the "blank page" as their writers' block enemy.

IGN is chowing down on 3 GB of my Mac's 24 GB RAM for a single web page. I'm not a big gambler, but I'd wager that's a combo of front-end web decisions and, most likely, their choice of ad platform. This impacts battery life and energy consumption.
