[things you can't unsee, Apple Cash, hair loss, possible trypophobia trigger]

why does the Apple Cash card look like the "before" shot in a hair transplant ad?
A screenshot of the Apple Cash "card" (Apple's prepaid debit card/rewards program) The card has a black background; the bottom half is dominated by a semicircle made up of tiny yellow and blue circles with up arrows in them. It looks like a top-down view of a balding scalp similar to what you might see in a hair transplant ad.

calling for Megatron's Three Questions on the Mozilla CEO. who hired him? who can fire him? how do we convince them to do so?
Three panels from a Transformers comic. Optimus Prime is being dragged away by some guards. Prime: My friend's name was Megatron and he had three questions! Three things he said you should DEMAND to know of any powerful institution! Prime: Question one: In whose interests do you exercise your power? Guard: You've said enough. Come along. Prime: Question TWO: To whom are you -- just let me finish -- to whom are you accountable? Prime: And three -- OOF! And THREE! Prime: HOW CAN WE GET RID OF YOU?

having to unload a bookshelf to move it fucking sucks but at least I get to spend a little time with this guy
A book It’s the Intel 8086/8088 User’s Manual This copy was printed in 1993 and the frontmatter notes that you can order books about the Pentium so it’s not actually that vintage but still

while I am in my photo library, please enjoy this HETRO COMBAT mask that I found the other day, which is definitely not gay in any way
A play mask intended for children, hanging from a rack on the wall of a store It is a high-tech styled bright orange thing with a smoky plastic visor and some black plastic styling around the mouth and cheeks. It closely resembles Master Chief from the Halo series of video games. The logotype says "HERO COMBAT" but the top lines of the E and R are joined to create the appearance of a phantom T; thus, HETRO COMBAT

any Kia Boys on here? does this thing inspire fear?

sadly it is NOT Hyundai-branded, jerks
A close-up of a logotype that reads "Autowear" on a bright yellow steering wheel locking device A bright yellow steering wheel locking device (like The Club, but not that brand) It is a metal cylinder about 2 feet long, with a handle on one end and two sets of hooks on the other end that are supposed to secure themselves to the inside of the steering wheel In the middle of the hooks there is a lock Keys (presumably for the lock) are also included

the place we’re at right now has caricatures of the Cusacks and a Yoda-ass looking Bill Murray. there’s also an empty hook. these were done in 2020. what Chicago affiliated celebrity has been cancelled since then? difficulty: whatever they did was worse than Bill Murray
