The Apple Automator icons from Sequoia and Tahoe. The Sequoia icon is a full body picture of a robot, holding what looks to be a pipe. There is a lot of detail in the icon. The Tahoe one is just a headshot of the robot like the robot is applying for a Passport or something.

Honorary mention
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 screenshot. This is the “tower climb” beach. The player needs to climb a tower made from junk. If you miss the jump, you start over, losing 10s of minutes of progress for each fall.

I have not seen these before but they taste better than candy should be allowed to taste.

Dan Aykroyd from Trading Places. He is dressed in a Santa costume, looking very disgruntled. He is biting off a piece of meat he pulled from a fake Santa beard.

Cross-signed certificate chains.
Charlie in the Pepe Silvia meme from Always Sunny. Charlie is standing in front of a wall covered in documents and newspapers. There are red lines connecting things in a way that looks like trying to solve a conspiracy theory. Charlie is pointing to the wall with a wide-eyed look on his face, with a cigarette in his other hand.

The “they’re the same picture meme”. The first “picture” is the text “I used to be a witch”. The second is “now I do cryptography”

A four panel comic. The first panel is Pervis standing in front of a car saying “Time to go grocery shopping”. The second panel is Pervis facing a store clerk, and the clerk says “Hi welcome to foodiemart. We rearranged all the aisles” The third panel is Pervis still facing the clerk, smiling, with eyes closed. The fourth panel is Pervis sitting in their car visibly upset. Lots of tears. There is a speech bubble containing “*muffled screaming*”

Fun weekend thing I did. Got on this ride at Kings Dominion. It go stuck at the top for about 15 minutes and would not come down.

I am not great with heights.
A picture of the “Windseeker” ride. It is a large tower, about 300 feet tall. At the top of the tower is a ring with swings around it.

New shiny button.
A screenshot of the GitHub login screen. It has two text boxes, one for username and password, with a sign in button below. Below that are two buttons, "Continue with Google" and "Continue with Apple". Below that is the "Create account" link, and finally a "Sign in with a passkey" link.

Post a concert photo

(Muse, 2019)
A photo of a stage. The stage edge is lined with red lighting. There are green lasers pointing up, and an enormous animatronic robot behind the performers. The robot has a hand over most the stage, looking like it crawled up from behind the stage.

Something just seems to have very wrong with AppleCare enrollment during orders this time around. I always purchased it with AppleCare - no problem. This was the first time something weird happened.
