Altoona is pure evil. They ratted out Luigi and their pizza looks like this

A square slice of “pizza” (if you can call it that) with a fluffy, bread-like crust topped with pizza sauce, a slice of salami, a slice of green bell pepper, and a slice of processed cheddar cheese (such as a Kraft single) in that order from the bottom up

I found a Zohran sign generator and tried making one for myself before I realized that it doesn’t really have the same vibe

The text “Michael for The Hague” in the style of a Zohran Mamdani campaign sign

These spinny platform/shelf things that you put stuff on so you can spin it around and have access to anything on it without having to move are called “lazy susans”. It must’ve come from the non-technical parts of the corpus lol

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference

The company that makes my accounting software is writing a little profile blog post on me as a user and they asked me for a headshot to go with it and I just realized I accidentally sent them this

A black cat painted into the pond in one of Monet’s “Water Lillies” paintings. It’s comfortably swimming along with its head and tail above the water. Surrounding it is the text “I hope this email doesn’t find you. I hope you’ve escaped and now you’re free”

Actually really happy with this

A 4-panel meme. In the top-left corner, Geordi from Star Trek is holding up his hand with his palm open, appearing to reject the thing in the top-right corner. In the top-right corner is the text “yelling at servers (restaurant)”. In the bottom-left corner, Geordi is pointing his finger, appearing to show approval for the thing in the bottom-right. In the bottom-right is the text “yelling at servers (IT)”

I regret to inform you that I do not, though I’d be excited to learn. In the US, we have the Domino’s Pizza Tracker, which looks like a less ominous version of this, but I am ignorant to the horrors that Mohammed the Deployer hath wrought

Don’t forget, US friends: Local Election Day is tomorrow! These races are arguably even more important than the presidential one! Send me a DM if you need help getting to your polling station or want an opinion on who you should vote for
