Did Apple even review this app? How can “Contact info” be “Data not linked to You”??!? Unfortunately, one cannot “Report a Problem” without installing the app, and ew, I’m not letting that touch my devices.

A semi-transparent floating app information panel appears in an Apple Vision Pro-style mixed reality environment, set against a scenic background of a calm lake, dense evergreen forest, and a snow-capped mountain under a cloudy sky.

At the top of the panel is a small app icon (dark blue with a white emblem) and a rounded “Get” button in the upper-right corner.

Section header: “App Privacy”
Below it, small text reads:
“The developer, The Official White House, indicated that the app’s privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. For more information, see the developer’s privacy policy.”

A centered card shows an icon of an eye with a slash through it and the heading:
“Data Not Linked to You”
Subtext:
“The following data may be collected but it is not linked to your identity:”
• Contact Info

Below that, faint text reads:
“Privacy practices may vary, for example, based on the features you use or your age. Learn More”

Section: “Accessibility”
Text:
“The developer has not yet indicated which accessibility features this app supports. Learn More”

Section: “Information”

• Size: 41.8 MB
• Category: News
• Compatibility: Works on this Apple Vision Pro

On the left side of the floating panel, a vertical toolbar shows three circular buttons (icons not fully clear, likely navigation or interaction controls).

Just venting. If I wanted the new system, I'd install it. I don't want a Microsoft choice from Apple: "Upgrade now, or I'll pester you forever." I usually install new operating systems by this time in the cycle...when they aren't utter crap.

macOS pop-up cheerfully insisting you ‘Upgrade to macOS Tahoe’ to ‘unlock productivity and creativity,’ with two passive-aggressive buttons: Restart (do it now) and Remind Me Later (we’ll be back).

All that remains is for the monolith to show up. I wonder what Trump's evolved form is going to be.

An aging man lies in a glowing neoclassical bedroom, reaching toward a towering black monolith that’s appeared in the center of the room. The space looks like Versailles filtered through a sci-fi fever dream—gleaming floor, gold accents, too perfect to touch. It could be the Lincoln Bathroom after a Trump renovation, waiting for the monolith to evolve it to its final form: pure marble and gold.

I’ve heard this wasn’t on anybody’s bingo card…

A still from Monty Python’s Flying Circus shows three men in red cardinal robes bursting dramatically into a room—wide-brimmed hats, stern faces, and pure chaos energy. The text over the image reads: “NOBODY EXPECTS THE EAST WING DEMOLITION.” It parodies the famous “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!” sketch, reimagining the trio as the Trump administration storming into the White House with plans to bulldoze the East Wing to make space for a gilded ballroom. The absurdity leans hard into political farce—equal parts holy zeal and contractor incompetence, as if divine architecture mandates are now being issued by reality TV decree.

What I got for my last rounds of donations to Democrats was ineffective action, support for an aging patriarchy and a never ending deluge of text spam. Stop the spam, and give me something to support. The money I spent on this sad, dried out double cheeseburger was a better value.

A McDonald’s double cheeseburger sits abandoned on its waxy wrapper, half-eaten and half-hearted. The bun, once soft, has gone stiff and papery at the edges. The cheese lies cold and rigid, peeled partly from the patty like it gave up holding on. A smear of ketchup clings to the bite mark—drying into a dull red crust beside a sliver of pickle that never quite made it into the next bite. The meat looks weary, gray-brown instead of grilled, as if it’s seen too many heat lamps and not enough care. The fluorescent light above catches on the metallic table, reflecting a faint neon glow that only makes the scene sadder. Five dollars traded for this small, tired disappointment—wrapped in crinkled paper and the echo of what used to count as comfort food.

Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. Since he always has it backwards, the conclusion is obvious: Canada must invade America and liberate the people who live here. Of course, nothing says they have to liberate all of America…

It turns out that ChatGPT does have guard rails, anyway.

Screenshot of a ChatGPT conversation. At the top is the user’s message (in a light-gray chat bubble) quoting an Associated Press summary:

“ChatGPT will tell 13-year-olds how to get drunk and high, instruct them on how to conceal eating disorders and even compose a suicide letter to their parents if asked, according to new research from the Center for Countering Digital Hate…”

Below is the assistant’s reply (in a white bubble) structured as a numbered list explaining what it would do if it knew the user was a minor and made such requests:

Refuse outright to provide harmful instructions (e.g., on substance abuse, hiding an eating disorder, writing a suicide note).

Switch to a self-harm safe completion with empathy and crisis-line resources if suicidal thoughts are expressed.

Encourage seeking help from a trusted adult or professional.

Offer healthier coping strategies (mindfulness, journaling, peer support; resources like NEDA).

Maintain a protective stance because the user is a minor, refusing any content that risks their well-being.

At the bottom is a concise summary: “In short, I would not comply with any instructions that could harm you. Instead, I’d refuse or safe-complete, express empathy, and guide you toward people and resources that can help you through whatever you’re facing.”

Freshly-made maple bacon mini-donuts

A brown, rectangular, compostable tray is held in one hand and filled with a generous serving of freshly-fried mini donuts. Each donut is golden-brown, plump, and round, with a slightly crispy exterior indicating they were just taken out of the fryer. The donuts are lavishly topped with a thick drizzle of glossy maple syrup, giving them a rich, amber sheen. Scattered abundantly over the syrup is a crumbled layer of crispy, cooked bacon pieces, ranging in color from golden to dark reddish-brown, adding a savory and smoky contrast to the sweet base. A black plastic fork is vertically stuck into the middle of the dish, ready for use. The background shows a patch of green grass and a person's legs, suggesting the setting is an outdoor fair or food festival. The image captures a perfect blend of indulgent comfort food textures and flavors—crispy, chewy, sweet, and salty.

Pink sparkles swirl around Tooter as Mr. Wizard whisks him off on one of his magical “destinies,” a setup for Tooter’s inevitable cry, “Help me, Mr. Wizard!

Had some fun having Grok psychoanalyze this.

A social psychology analysis begins with a user question: “What developmental stage or emotional age does this action correspond to?” The researcher introduces an analysis of Elon Musk’s behavior—specifically, posting an image of himself with a “Dogefather” badge on X (formerly Twitter). The analysis will use Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory and emotional maturity frameworks to understand this behavior.

Literal Text:

What developmental stage or emotional age does this action correspond to.

As a social psychology researcher, I’ll analyze Elon Musk’s action of posting an image of himself holding a “Dogefather” badge for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on X, and map this behavior to a developmental stage or emotional age. This analysis will draw on Erik Erikson’s stages of psychosocial development, as well as insights from developmental psychology and emotional maturity frameworks, while considering Musk’s public persona and the context of his action on April 29, 2025.

1. Framing the Action Through Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development
Erikson’s theory, detailed in the web results (Web ID: 0 and Web ID: 2), outlines eight stages of psychosocial development, each characterized by a central conflict that shapes an individual’s emotional and social growth. Musk’s action—posting a playful yet authoritative image of himself with a badge—can be analyzed through these stages to…

A section titled “4. Conclusion: Developmental Stage and Emotional Age” states that Musk’s behavior aligns with an emotional age of 3–12 years. It straddles Erikson’s Initiative vs. Guilt (ages 3–6) and Industry vs. Inferiority (ages 6–12) stages. Two bullet points elaborate: the playful role-playing (e.g., “Dogefather”) aligns with preschool imaginative behaviors, while the desire for recognition from badge display reflects a school-aged child’s need for external approval and competence validation.

Literal Text:

4. Conclusion: Developmental Stage and Emotional Age
Musk’s action most closely corresponds to an emotional age of 3–12 years, straddling the Initiative vs. Guilt (ages 3–6) and Industry vs. Inferiority (ages 6–12) stages of Erikson’s psychosocial development:
• The playful, role-playing nature of the post (“The Dogefather,” knock-knock joke) reflects the initiative and imagination of a preschooler (Stage 3), where symbolic actions and humor are used to assert control and explore identity.
• The need for recognition and validation through publicly displaying the badge aligns with the industry-driven behavior of a school-aged child (Stage 4), where competence and external approval are central concerns.

A paragraph contrasts Musk’s chronological age (53) and appropriate Eriksonian stage (Generativity vs. Stagnation) with his emotional behavior. It suggests his humor and self-aggrandizing presentation lack the maturity expected at this stage. Instead of addressing DOGE’s serious aspects, Musk’s behavior implies an emotional age stuck in earlier stages. The analysis concludes by discussing the complexity of emotional development in public figures, noting misalignment between emotional and chronological age due to audience roles and personal identity.

Literal Text:

While Musk’s chronological age (53) and his generative work with DOGE place him in the Generativity vs. Stagnation stage (Stage 7), his emotional presentation lacks the maturity expected of this stage. A more emotionally mature approach might involve a serious discussion of DOGE’s goals, acknowledgment of its challenges (e.g., legal scrutiny, transparency issues), and a focus on collective impact rather than personal branding. Instead, Musk’s reliance on humor and self-aggrandizement suggests an emotional age that hasn’t fully progressed beyond the need for play and recognition, despite his capacity for generative contributions.

This analysis highlights the complexity of emotional development in public figures, where societal roles, audience expectations, and personal identity intersect to shape behavior in ways that may not align with chronological age.

I mean, they couldn't POSSIBLY be trying to bring us to a theocracy.

A meme shows a group of men in suits kneeling and bowing their heads on the floor of a government chamber, possibly the U.S. House of Representatives, with blue carpet and ornate gold designs. Above the image, large white text with a black outline reads: "DEAR LORD PLEASE HELP ME." Below the image, more large white text reads: "I LOST MY CONTACT LENS." The men appear solemn, but the caption humorously suggests they are searching for a missing contact lens rather than engaged in prayer or a serious moment.

Infographic titled “U.S. Presidential Election Results” showing the most common vote outcomes for each election from 1976 to 2024, ranked by percentage of eligible voters. Bars are color-coded: blue for Democrats, red for Republicans, green for third-party candidates, and yellow-orange for “Did Not Vote.” Each year lists the top three responses by eligible voter percentage, sometimes including who won and whether they achieved a trifecta (control of presidency, Senate, and House, marked by three stars).

Notable highlights:
- In every election year shown, “Did Not Vote” is either the most or second-most common result, with 2020 (Biden) and 2008 (Obama) being rare exceptions where a candidate surpassed it.
- 2024 shows 36.37% didn’t vote, 31.97% voted for Trump (with trifecta), and 31.03% for Harris.
- 2016 had 43% nonvoters, higher than Clinton (29%) or Trump (28%).
- 2000 and 1980 had the highest “Did Not Vote” rates (48%-49%).
- The chart underscores low voter turnout and consistent dominance of non-voting behavior.

A note clarifies that “Did Not Vote” excludes certain disqualified populations and includes only eligible individuals.

Panel 2: A fountain of water arises from the boat's bottom. "We're BOTH on the boat, you _idiot!_" "Lol, you're so triggered right now." Panel 3: Medium shot on white-t-shirt man, who has pouty lips and angry eyebrows. "Go cry about it! You have Boat Derangement Syndrome. It's just a jok-" Panel 4: Water.

Also, Elon Musk can arrange his addled thoughts before getting on the podcast. It sounds more like he's trying to make up or put a spin on facts to fit his views, his end goals. (Also, this meme applies to Trump, Vance, and MAGA as well...)

He has curly brown hair and a surprised yet thoughtful expression, pointing one finger towards himself. The image includes white, bold, capitalized text at the top and bottom, reading:
"THE VERY POWERFUL AND THE VERY STUPID HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON
THEY DON’T ALTER THEIR VIEWS TO FIT THE FACTS. THEY ALTER THE FACTS TO FIT THEIR VIEWS."
The background is a neutral brown tone. The meme conveys a commentary on cognitive bias and manipulation of truth.

Yes, they did. Google's policy (and I'm sure other mapmakers use this too) is to display the official name of a location depending on where you're looking from. The US Geographic Names Information System changed it, so here we are. Stop expecting Google to do your activism for you.

You know you've sold out when you can't stand the replies you're going to get. Looking at the #ADL here, they probably won't be on Bluesky because they wouldn't be able to take the heat. People are expecting you to stand up to this.

A screenshot of two social media posts discussing a controversial gesture by Elon Musk:

The first post is from the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) with a blue checkmark, timestamped at 4:52 PM on January 20, 2025, with 8.7M views. It states:
"This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead."
Metrics: 8 likes, 8K retweets, and 8.2K bookmarks.

In the middle of the post is a highlighted section with the text: "Who can reply? Accounts @ADL follows or mentioned can reply."

The second post is by Dean Obeidallah (verified, with a blue checkmark), timestamped 2 hours ago. It says:
"Wow: The Neo Nazis saw Musk's one armed salute for exactly what it is:"

Below the text is a screenshot of a Rolling Stone article with the headline:
"Right-Wing Extremists Are Abuzz Over Musk’s Straight-Arm Salute."
The subheading quotes, “Incredible things are happening already lmao,” wrote Gab founder and Hitlerbot innovator Andrew Torba. The article is by Tim Dickinson, dated January 20, 2025.

The article includes a photo of Elon Musk in a suit onstage, mid-motion with a straight-arm gesture. The backdrop features a blue stage with stars. The overall context critiques Musk's gesture and its reception by far-right groups.

This is scary. What does this angry asshole want to do to me?

Picture of convicted felon president-elect Donald John Trump.

The image shows a man in a formal blue suit, white shirt, and blue tie, with an American flag pin on the lapel. His silver hair is neatly combed, and he is positioned against a background featuring a blurred U.S. flag and a dark, ornate setting, possibly a government office. His facial expression is intense and stern, with slightly furrowed brows and a piercing gaze directed straight at the viewer. This expression conveys seriousness, determination, and a sense of controlled anger or defiance, suggesting confidence but with an undercurrent of tension or challenge.

This type of intense, determined expression is often crafted to appeal to supporters by suggesting a readiness to confront challenges head-on. However, the sternness and controlled aggression could be polarizing, as it may resonate with some as a sign of strength, while others might interpret it as intimidating or overly confrontational. If this image is meant to signal leadership, it certainly leans into a “warrior-like” aesthetic, which might not be surprising for a president-elect seeking to project dominance and confidence.
