The film Shakespeare in Love is always wrong to me because they pay a bit of lip service to the fact William Shakespeare was married but they don't mention he was married to Anne Hathaway and, seriously, do you think he's straying when THIS is what he has at home?
Photograph of the modern-day actress Anne Hathaway wearing a black sleeveless dress at some sort of event looking stunning. Yes, I know she is not the same Anne Hathaway unless she's a vampire or a Highlander immortal, either of which I would believe.

"He has made up his mind to accept the situation to the point of allowing himself to become his rival's best man, there is nothing more to be said." Caderousse looked at Fernand. He was deathly pale.

Is this hubris in which I attempt to take on this behemoth? Yes. Yes it is. Oh my god this thing is loooong...
Book cover of the Penguin Classics version of Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, as captioned on the bottom. The cover is a watercolor of a mountainside castle/prison, with very small (in the scale of the painting) people far below on the beach next to a roaring sea working to pull a ship to shore.

    [Cueball is standing in front of a desk, which a man sits behind. The man is presumably an insurance agent, and is handing Cueball a paper.]
    Insurance agent: Here's a page explaining the terms of your new fire insurance policy.

    [Zoom in on Cueball as he reads the paper.]

    [Cueball starts to ask the insurance agent a question when he hands Cueball yet another paper.]
    Cueball: Hey, what if I-
    Insurance agent: And here's a page explaining that the "cool hack" you just thought of is called "insurance fraud". We already know about it and it's a crime.

    Insurance agent: I see a lot of programmers here.

Screenshot of a social media post (possibly Twitter, possibly that weird Trump-owned one)

By Chef Joe Gera @redhotnerd

A PSA: do NOT download the White House app. It is
doing something very weird with the sandbox
permissions you give it. Which I'm not sure yet, but
is likely against every service term and developer
agreement on earth. I downloaded it so you don't
have to onto an air gapped old iPad. It is phoning
home, asking for way too much personal data, and
attempting to bypass location services
permissions. Aside from the propaganda, it's a
security nightmare.

This post is quoting or screenshotted the following post:

streamed DIRECTLY to your phone. No noise.
Just the news that matters most - straight from
the Trump Administration.
DOWNLOAD NOW:
apps.apple.com/us/app/the-Show more

(the "Show more" is from the image because I can't be arsed to find the actual URL because you shouldn't want this piece of shit app anyway and I ain't helping y'all find it)

Below that is a photo of Donald Trump half-ass holding his first up in a way he thinks looks tough but actually looks like he's jacking off someone with a very skinny cock hoping they'll bust on his face. Not making any statement about that in terms of implied sexuality or the Epstein Files, just saying what it looks like. Also, his suit jacket doesn't fit.

I will never understand tracking. How do you lose a package for two days going from Humble to Conroe to North Houston? Humble is ALREADY North Houston! It's a suburb OF Houston that's almost IN the city limits! Conroe's 30 miles NORTH of Humble! You went the wrong way!
Screenshot of tracking info that shows Sunday, September 30 the package leaving Humble, TX (which is a suburb on the north side of Houston), gets delayed in Conroe (which is 30 miles north of Humble in the wrong direction) on September 21, and arriving in North Houston (which frankly most people would say "North Houston" instead of "Humble" it's so close to Houston - seriously it's RIGHT NEXT to Bush International Airport which is IN HOUSTON) on September 23.

This tracking is for a single package of dried noodle mix.

Account that doesn't even follow me didn't read the thread because no, that's not true because AM has sucked for disasters for decades by personal experience AND the Republicans when proposing this bill literally said it was because they considered it censorship of the Rush Limbaugh wannabes on AM.
Post from user Vaquera Elisa @boxelderdust.bsky.social who does not follow me and the post had not been reposted by anyone else so they specifically sought out posts to quote and dunk on. They have been blocked.

The post says "Or maybe it's because it's the one that the authorities cna most reliable use to tell you where to go when your entire grind square catches fire", which ignores that later on in the thread (ie the posts above this one), I specifically point out from personal experience that AM radio has been fucking useless for emergency government communication for DECADES.

Share one of the most obscure TV shows you can think of! Kitchen Confidential (2005-2006) Yes, based on the Anthony Bourdain book. Very loosely. Also, John Cho was on the show but they left him off the cover for some reason...

I want more of this rather than a Gravity Falls sequel series.
Photo of Alex Hirsch captioned with "Creator of 'Gravity Falls' Alex Hirsch offers OpenAI CEO Sam Altman some friendly advice.

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:

connect your family calendars and explain your

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a

afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some
news, etc.

I think it's a Threads post? But the post is by user shaelarene

I saw someone on Threads say that being an American right now is like
screaming for help in a serial killer's soundproof basement...and while that's accurate, it doesn't go quite far enough.

We're absolutely screaming for help in a serial killer's soundproof basement but unfortunately, we're locked in there next to three people with Stockholm syndrome going on and on about how the serial killer is playing 4D chess and being murdered by him is a blessing.

I hate it here.

With great power (being able to fit into that costume) comes great responsibility (punching Nazis). Just ask him from an alternate timeline.

Listen "AI" slop food places - You're never going to get creepier and more unsettling than the art piece Blue Plate Special. Please stop trying before you call down the Great Old Ones on us.
Drawing of an unsettling diner with many details that are "wrong" including a blind man with gills on his neck reading a newspaper, a skull forming in the foam on the coffee, a pie being sliced that is bleeding, and a woman attempting to drag her child from behind the counter using a tentacle for a hand.

"I don't want to go to the Good Place because they keep being meanies to me for using the Captain Planet Villain Machine that turns plagiarism and clean water into pollution and profits for fascist billionaires, so I'll stay on the Nazi Site." Reminds me of this comic...
Four panel comic featuring a woman on the left and a man on the right. She's wearing a spaghetti strap peach top and he's wearing a blue button-up shirt and a red MAGA baseball cap.

Panel 1:
Woman: My GAWD these Trump people are racist.
Man: That attitude is what's pushing me to be racist!

Panel 2:
Woman: Say what?
Man: Might as well! You say I'm a Nazi so, fine, I'll be a Nazi if that makes you happy!

Panel 3:
Woman: It...doesn't.
Man: I bought this Waffen SS uniform for Halloween. You'll cry "Offensive" so maybe I'll just wear it every day.

Panel 4: The man is in a tattoo parlor in a white t-shirt buzz-cutting his hair to a skinhead cut while the tattoo artist gives him a swastika tattoo.
Man: I just hate to do this. I feel bullied, really.

Every "AI" restaurant ad I see looks like this.
Drawing of a diner with several things subtlly wrong in a "the more you look, the worse it gets" way including a skull in the foam of the coffee, a blind man reading a newspaper whose plate includes eyeballs and severed fingers and has gills on his neck, a bloody handprint on the bathroom door, a waitress cutting a pie that is bleeding profusely, a woman is pulling her child away from behind the counter with a tentacle for a hand, and more oddities as you examine.

Compare/contrast with four cartoon images of characters from Dracula from left to right: Jonathan Harker, Mina, Dracula, Van Helsing.

The second says "Novel" and, same characters labeled again from left to right, Gothic Heroine About to be Wifed Up, Dracula's Genius Arch-Nemesis, and "Rizz Master" is scratched out under Van Helsing and replaced with Autistic Grandpa

Two-part cartoon. The top is labeled "Healers in MMO Anime" and shows a stereotypical healer with staff, their eyes all shining, saying "I just wanna help everyone. My heals aren't good enough But..."

The bottom is labeled "Actual Healers" and the same healer now has half-closed cynical, done-with-everything eyes and is saying "You are idiots. I hate all of you. Whoops, rogue pulled, guess who's not getting healed. Tank, I will not go by your ridiculous pace. Slow down or die."

Every "AI" generated restaurant flyer just reminds me of this painting by Jeff Lee Johnson.

Cat from Red Dwarf playing Scrabble and revealing the word "Jozxyqk".CAT: Hey! I've got you now! Jozxyqk.
LISTER: That's not a word.
CAT: It's a cat word.
LISTER: Jozxyqk?
CAT: That's not how you pronounce it!
LISTER: What's it mean?
CAT: It's the sound you get when you get your sexual organs trapped in
something! Jozxyqk!
LISTER: Is it in the dictionary?
CAT: Well, it could be. If you were reading in the nude and you closed
the book too quickly.

I do like it when the cops give step-by-step instructions on how to commit the crime AND get away with it because they have no clue.
A photo of a Flock camera leaking foam out of the lens.

Charlotte NC 22h
Police are asking for the public's help in finding the criminals who vandalized several flock cameras in a South Carolina town by spraying expanding foam on them.

Authorities believe the at-large criminals snuck up behind the cameras with spray foam canisters and sprayed the lenses before the cameras had a chance to ID them.
