Haven't made one of these in a long time.
On the top, a panel containing a form from a call for speakers. it is in an error state. the name provided is anne gibson in all lowercase. the error message (under both first and last name, neither of which are labeled correctly for accessibility and internationalization) says all uppercase or all lowercase letters are not allowed. 

Below that is a longer note in a callout box that says please note that you're (emphasis) logged in as anne gibson (end emphasis) and submitting a session in that context. This event doesn't allow you to submit session for somebody else while being logged in as yourself, or to submit sessions for multiple speakers with the same account. 

below that is another warning (without the callout box this time) that says changing this will update your system-wide profile.

Maia: JOIN!

Person A: Ok, but what if I'm really busy & can't do much organizing right now?
Maia: JOIN ANYWAY!

A gorgeous drawing of a train coming out of a tunnel showing a simplified man (not quite a stick man but close on the roof of a train car having beaten another man bloody. It's captioned You've solved the trolley problem. You've killed the person responsible for tying all those people to trolley tracks. It's finally over. 

Below someone replies wow... so you're telling me that you took an action that resulted in the death of one person... to save the lives of many people... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar

a png of the solution to the trolly problem according to rail workers in case you ever need it
IWW IU 520 (Railroad workers) Presents: Trolly Problem Solution. A sketch of the usual trolly problem is displayed with one person on one set of tracks and five people on the other. An arrow points under the trolley. Text next to the arrow says slip the switch by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt. In smaller text it say thank a rail worker today!

i found this on Chewy today while looking for a way to water the dogs outside and uhhhhh nope won't be buying from them.
well, it's supposed to be a jack russel stepping on a foot pedal that shoots water high enough in the air for the dog to drink from it but the dog is so horribly photoshopped or AI'd or whatever.... the dog's collar is around their shoulders as if it was a dress with a boatneck collar or something fully off the shoulders. the dog has one eye closed and the other open as if they are leering at someone and their tongue is all the way out which would normally indicate the dog was hot, except none of the rest of the body language says hot. The dog's tail is nowhere to be seen. their head isn't centered over their neck. the shadows are hella wrong. there's a porch swing in the background with no porch and roses around the swing's chains with no rose plants. the watering device is about half the size of the jack russel and since I have owned six of that breed i'm comfortable saying that if that's to scale the tool was designed to water camels, not horses.

The use of speech bubbles in this piece (along with its heartbreaking message) gives it exactly the kind of meandering-but-serious tone that a block of text could never provide on its own.
