Still thinking about those Sully children and their parents.
A screengrab from The Rehearsal s02e03 "Pilot's Code". It shows Nathan rehearsing the life of young Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger III in a scene together with his grotesquely proportioned parents and his sister, who has a face like the lady in the radiator from Eraserhead.

Congrats (?) to the guy but TMI
A cropped screenshot of the ugmonk website's About page. It shows a black and white image of a guy gazing downward (in concentration? Sleepiness? Abject suffering? Your guess is as good a mine, but in the full version he is in fact writing something down). Next to him there's a floating badge that says in circular path script: USED BY OVER 10,000 PEOPLE.

Hmm… "with" John Davis, not "by" John Davis.
A close-up detail of the above image showing the name of this section of the newspaper and the supposed author of the article. Cropped like this it reads "Living with John Davis" with a gormless face next to it.

Definitely not fantasy, but I keep scouring used book sites for an edition of A Canticle for Leibowitz with this cover because it slaps so hard.
Cover of an 80s paperback edition of A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. Front and center is a shadowy bishop-like figure whose only visible features are a mitre, some kind of open pallium and an ornate, metal chosier with a cross inlay. He is walking toward a cross-shaped space ship in the background with stained glass window elements, which seems to be dispensing monks sitting on little flying saucers. The middle ground features two dark gothic church towers to the left and ruins with impossibly intact stained glass windows to the right. The whole scene is cast in dark reddish and sickly yellow hues.

Had to look something up and found the answer in the most ominous format possible.

Gone but not forgotten.
A slightly beat-up Panasonic SL-s321C XBS that can be used in both modes (CAR/PORTABLE) and boasts the elusive EXTRA ANTI-SHOCK MEMORY MASH feature.

That's kinda it. Large-scale adoption of GenAI tools won't improve your work if you have any standards. In fact they'll eat up your time and undermine your expertise.
An excerpt from the linked article on aftermath.site. Quote: It really weighed on the creativity of my role, and again, spat in the face of my expertise”, they say. “It wasn't just this though; the tool itself lacks the intent, context, and limitations of what we're doing. It doesn't have other aspects of the project, influences, references, or personal experiences in the back of its mind, because it doesn't have a mind.

The sixth finger is only there to distract you from the ~~Strap to Nowhere~~

Going into the weekend staring down the barrel of having to edit 62k words of AI slurry.

Freg
A tiny brown baby frog (toad??) sits in the dirt. You can see just how tiny it is by some blades of grass and a pebble next to it. The pattern around its eyes makes it look a bit grumpy.

Aspirational.
A screenshot of the Wikipedia article "List of species that have landed on the Moon". The section containing the actual list features a text box stating: "This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items (November 2023)", with an option to "Learn More".

Second-hand records as well, somehow.
Close-up of the backside of a record sleeve. The album in question is A Drop of the Hard Stuff by the Dubliners. A note has been written on it in gold ink. It says: "To Ina in memory of a golden weekend in Gütersloh."

Just found this old pic I edited years ago, and I cannot quite remember the context, but I'm fairly positive that the punchline was "time to dine."
An image of Guy Fieri edited to somewhat resemble Roy Batty during the Tears in Rain scene from Blade Runner by adding cyan lighting and rainfall.

Domhnall of Zena knew what's good.
A screenshot from Dark Souls 1. We see Domhnall of Zena, sitting cross-legged on the floor. He's wearing a ridiculously stylish set of armour, including glasses and long antelope horns on his helmet, a dagger on a chain slung around his shoulders, and a bunch of medals on his chest.

Well HOP ON IN
A screenshot of the NASA website. It shows the header for an article about OSIRIS-REx, a probe for retrieving samples from asteroids. The header explains the acronym as Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security – Regolith Explorer.

One is plenty
A screenshot from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. It shows Wario in a fighting ring, wearing a Karategi and displaying a somewhat poor fighting stance. But don't be fooled; he'll take you apart regardless.

Uh oh
An image of a person underwater. It is unclear whether they are currently drowning or trying to swim back to the surface. The caption reads "Let there be no doubt: The financial elite loves you very much".

What the… computer, enhance!
A detail of John's selfie which has been slightly glitched for horror purposes. On top of his closet we see a black, hairy shape with no visible features. Is it a friend? Is it just watching? Or is it hiding out of John's sight, waiting for the right moment to strike? It is even alive? Does it have feelings that make sense to the human mind? We cannot possibly fathom what goes on inside that dark, indecipherable mass.

An image from the article. It shows a black and white close-up of a character's face with shoddy linework and unclear shapes. I know it's a cliché to ask "how does that hair work" in manga-style artwork, but this one is just baffling. Also a weird yellowish blob is nestled in the top right corner for some reason. The caption reads: An image created by AI that learned from Tezuka’s works and real images, which served as a basis for the main character of “Paidon” (Provided by 2 Field). A smaller caption below that reads, somewhat ironically: No reproduction or republication without written permission.

Mostly thanks to quitting Twitter when they scuttled TweetDeck, I've picked up some books I've had on my reading list for way too long.

Currently going through Le Guin's Hainish books. They're all pretty dope so far, and this section from The Dispossessed made me go full Sickos meme.
Excerpt from chapter 5of The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, 1974. It reads: He tried to read an elementary economics text; it bored him past endurance, it was like listening to somebody interminably recounting a long and stupid dream. He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary. In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men’s acts, even the terrible became banal.

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about
A tweet by Kristin (@FeralCrone) from 7th February 2015: 4-year-old son said the word prototype. When I asked him what it meant, he said "People are a prototype" and I was too scared to ask what he meant.

A screengrab of the "looks like meat's back on the menu" scene from Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers, showing the Orc who says the line. The caption has been altered to say "sand" instead of "meat".
