It is the duty of the extremely online to send this to your friends, relatives, or colleagues who own portable generators.
Three geese flying with carbon monoxide alarms on their backs. The geese are flying through an intense blizzard over the US. The geese are wearing wool hats with pom poms on top. They are not afraid. The text reads: Carbon monoxide safety geese brigade. Ever loud! Every lifesaving! Ever bird! Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working. Keep your portable generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home!

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Working on my Mars slides for class, which means it's time to bring back my favorite slide I've ever made:
The "we're so back/it's so over meme" that has been edited so the x-axis is time from 1960 through 2040. The plot oscillates semi-sinusoidally between positive (we're so back) and negative (it's so over). It's labeled Mars Exploration Timeline.

The start of the timeline is small oscillations close to zero. These are labeled: first Soviet attempts (note: none of the Soviet attempts worked but they sure tried). The steep positive peak next to it, we're back, is labeled Viking landers. Then a massive negative, it's so over, is labeled: everyone crashes in the 90s. Look up Mars exploration to learn more about this. Then an even larger positive spike, we're so back, is for Curiosity and the other Mars rovers.  Then a positive/negative combined spike is labeled Mars 2020 (for various reasons). Then a last negative, it's over (real) is labeled Mars Sample Return. This is accurate.

A guy moving a lawn. Behind him is a giant rhinoceros. A little further away, a group of children play gleefully. One of the children shouts, "Yay, nature!" The text reads: Do you know what's out there?! It might be a rhinoceros or it might be a child. Always clear your lawn of objects and bystanders before mowing. Always look behind you before backing up your mower.

Moons drifting across the face of their parent gas giant, as planet-scale storms roar in the clouds below. This is an older one.
A narrow perspective of a ruddy brown gas giant, a small part of which fills the entire frame. Wavy cloud patterns shift and warp around two large white oval-shaped storms, with host whispy internal spiraling patterns. One storm is center frame, and the other is a only visible as a quarter segment seen in the lower right corner. Two dark shadows fall just to the left and top of the central storm, which are shadows corresponding to two moons in the left of the frame. One moon is grey with a series of dark rifts across its surface, the other is a bright white, with blue grooves and a yellowish crater on its terminator.
