This is now my favorite typo from any newspaper, courtesy of the Guardian (sharing because I know many of my moots are big fans of 'The Death of Stalin').
black text on a white background: This article was amended on 19 April 2025. The sexual violence support service that JK Rowling co-founded is called Beira’s Place, not “Beria’s Place” as an earlier version said.

I vow to do better with my alt-texting and worse with my language. Or at least less scatalogical and more generally profane.

Christ-cocking fuckstacks.

A word cloud of most-used words. Most prominently featured are "mean," "weird," "shit," "those," and "favorite." Image of a nearly-completed gold circle on a black background, with white text inside reading "95% of images have alt text." Smaller gold letters at the lower right read "78% above average."

(First alternate was the 2009 graphic novel adaptation "Whiteout" with Kate Beckinsale, because I like unpopular movies about the cold apparently.)
Theatrical poster for the 2009 film "Whiteout," prominently featuring Kate Beckinsale.

That Julia Ormond film from the late 1990s, "Smilla's Sense of-" ...I forget the rest of the title.
Julia Ormond (an attractive white brunette lady) in a fur-lined tan parka, with a large back pack strapped to her with black straps, looks across a snowfield in this image.

Conveniently there is a door exclusively for opening just as an AI techbro walks by...
Small section of a larger image of an Assisted Infringement-generated house plan, featuring three bathrooms (labeled "powder room," "Master Roksn," and "Coat"), a 'Gallery HALLL,' and a tiny area labelled "Main Foyer," which has a large open area on the right, a door at the left, a door at the bottom, and (notably) a door at the top, which provides access to the same area as the open section on the right. Justifying the supposition that it is simply a door for opening into people's faces as they leave the GALLERY HALLL for the powder room. My post posited AI techbros, as they are currently in the top five of "people needing a sharp, short shock."

We're sorry that we spend time doing things other than *checks notes* advocating for extra-judicial murder, you freak-of-nature.
Copy of a skeet, reading as follows: ‪lurkerbluesky.bsky.social‬ · 1d So this is why I don't GAF about these cartel assholes. Screw their due process (yes I'm a lifelong Dem). It's the only thing that I agree with this admin on. Like 10% of the population cares. 90% of us would pull Sicario shit on these assholes everyday of the week.

Shareholders of tech companies, who are the only people in the universe that matter, apparently. Everyone else is aware that using a search engine to make art is like using a piccolo to articulate camels: coked-out nonsense.

At this point the bare minimum should look like this. Because holy shit what is wrong with people. Allyship is not a passive state, dammit.

PATTON: Well for one thing, Bill, they're being aggressively targeted at my friend's shows. And my shows when I let my "genius" friends perform. Also disabled people. Because people forget that I'm just a rich guy. BTW thanks for the opportunity to launder my image. Be sure to catch Dave in Riyadh!
Pattons Oswalt grins while hugging ableist, transphobic alleged comedian Dave Chappelle in January of 2021, a year before Chappelle would use his company and wealth to stop low income housing in his town.

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December.
Image of a brass and wooden hand mortar (an early, stubby firearm) from the British Museum, with elaborate metal plate inlays depicting a man alone, as well as a man and woman seated beneath a tree. A close-up of the second inlay depicting what turns out to be a man and woman in Elizabethan dress seated beneath a tree, with the man's hand going up the woman's skirt with intent (most of her legs are visible at this stage). Because Elizabethans put erotica on their guns for some reason which is actually pretty cool.

This is the last image I saved, and while it's not a meme, it 100% sums up my moral philosophy.

Motion to disallow LEO from naming things was rejected, because their dipstickery is too hilarious.
Image of an elderly man who looks like an oil baron in cowboy cosplay, standing in a field of wheat. The word "METH. I'M ON IT." are prominently displayed in large white letters beside him. Image from an actual real honest-to-godless South Dakota anti-drug campaign from 2019.

Me flirting:

This is what future celebrities were supposed to be, not politics streamers
An image from a the video game Deus Ex: Invisible War, featuring a hologram of fictional popstar NG Resonance dancing inside of a futuristic floor-to-ceiling jukebox. NG Resonance was a sentient program that acted as a spy, counselor, advisor, and (of course) pop star for the World Trade Organization. As a side note, her music was created by the real-life band Kidneythieves, and is really quite excellent.

I'm sure that this is reasonable and fine. Anyhow here's a picture of billions of German marks from the Weimar Republic being used as building blocks by children (unrelated).
A black and white photo of two children, a girl and a boy, using bricks of the hyperinflated Weimar Reischsmark as building blocks. A third child sits in the foreground, devoting their attention to what can only be described as a Very Good Boy (a small white dog with black ears).

Oof. Gimme a sec.
...
Fixed it.
A shot from the second Borat film showing disgraced mayor Rudolph Giuliani laying back on a hotel bed with his hand down his pants, as an alarmed young woman in a light blue dress (who is described in the film as 15; the actress was 24) looks on. Added above Giuliani are the words "New York, You Forgot."

I mean, you're wrong, but it's a valid and acceptable wrongness so we still love you.

Come for the Starfury, however...
