Masterful gambit sir. On the off chance that Tim Apple doesn’t completely reverse his company’s strategy and calls your blu…hhh forces your hand, you will design the super duper best phone that could only be dreamed up by a manufacturing and design expert such as yourself.
An old beige and black very brick-y cellular phone. Probably circa 80s or early 90s. Like the age of when Musk’s brain stopped forming and his creativity locked in.

Liam Neeson in character in some bad Greek mythology movie, which gave us the “Release the Kraken” meme, except the text of this one says “RETURN THE KRAKEN”

At least they didn’t serve this
Ice-T from Rick and Morty, who is basically a giant block of translucent ice in a capital T shape, with a face in the top center and a small gun somehow hanging from a chain near the top of the center stalk, under the face - that somehow doesn’t just slide straight down the center stalk.

3 panel Futurama meme, with close-cropped grey hair soldier in a future military uniform sitting at a desk in the 1st and 3rd panels, and regular characters Bender the Robot and Fry in the middle panel near a glowing red alert light hanging from the ceiling. Panel text: 1. UNLESS, OF COURSE... WAR WERE DECLARED 2. WHAT'S THAT??! 3. WAR WERE DECLARED

You laugh but the other AirPod is in that poor bodyguard’s pocket and it activated stereo and noise cancellation, so he’s missing out on both the left channel of his playlist AND he has uncomfortably imbalanced pressure in that right ear.

This one’s for @drewmagary.bsky.social
The cover to Queensrÿche’s truly classic Operation: Mindcrime album, except “mindcrime” has been hastily Apple-Photos-annotated to read “mindbrain”instead. Dr. Davis, telephone please indeed you beautiful stock sound clip that made its way into so much pop culture (including the opening track to fellow unnecessary umlaut band Mötley Crüe’s Dr. Feelgood).

I’d vote for Tom…

I’m sorry, these may be trivial-to-get diplomas but nobody has the fully licensed credentials I do.
It is a Malibu Grand Prix “VIRAGE RACING LICENSE” (an imitation driver’s license for a go cart race track) with a photo of none other than Ronnie James Dio, the semifamous singer.

This was Sundar on stage at I/O yesterday, not like Google was loved by the right but there have to be plenty of RWNJs who say “hey those colors are close enough for me to not take chances” so I fully expect DuckDuckHitler® Powered By Grok™ to be released and be their new search engine of choice.
Photo of Google CEO Sundar Pichai walking on a stage and waving. Above him and to the left of the stage background are 4 horizontal stripes of green, yellow, red, and blue - kind of like horizontal stripes in a flag. And wouldn’t you know it, those 4 colors are also in the rainbow! Funny how light and rainbows work like that.

Woah, what kind of Time Machine have you invented there?!
Screenshot of the linked article loaded on iOS mobile Safari. With the shocking “aol.com” site at the top, a banner to Get the AOL App below it, and then the web page contents with “Aol.” as the site name in giant text.

Sorry, yeah that was the comment the web search jumped to but this one was a summary (of the YouTube video in the top article) that I was then trying to summarize:
• isleyaardvark on Jan 3, 2022 | parent | prev | next [-] Everyone in this particular thread should watch the video linked in the footnote of the article. (I had forgotten this post was a link to an article and not the video, and was scratching my head at why people were even having this discussion). Edit: tl;dr of the video: - The Matrix had some green tint - the sequels had even more green tint - a remaster of The Matrix used the sequels as a reference and remastered The Matrix to be much more green than the theatrical release - the 4k remaster is less green and looks more like the theatrical release From the article it looks like on top of that HBO Max somehow got a bad version of the less green 4k version

You know Disney-Marvel missed an amazing opportunity to have Zola in their animated Spidey and his Amazing Friends kids series say “Heil Hydrox!”

Zola as a friendly mischievous robot in an animated kids show, as opposed to an evil Nazi-scientist.

Well sure the data was no longer Available, but it was Consistently gone across all Partitions. #CAPtheoremundefeated
Screenshot of section of the article with highlighting (mine) on this text: “UniSuper had duplication in two geographies as a protection against outages and loss. However, when the deletion of UniSuper’s Private Cloud subscription occurred, it caused deletion across both of these geographies.” CAP (/Brewer’s) theorem reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem

Very happy to report that screenshot is out of date, as someone has updated his profile picture:
Screenshot of the top portion of the 50-a.org page for this idiot example of NYPD’s “finest” who pepper sprayed himself yesterday as the police began arresting participants in a peaceful protest. His photo has been updated on the page to one showing him from yesterday, barely sentient mouth agape, eyes closed, while a comrade pours water seemingly on the upper back side of his bald dome. (50-a.org “is a searchable website of NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board and related public NYPD data.” Screenshot contents: James N. Mccarthy Assistant Chief at Patrol Borough Manhattan South since February 2022, active Also served at Chief of Department Office, Patrol Borough Manhattan North Service started January 1985, made $249,000 last year, Tax #885671 White Male, 59 LinkedIn

You kids these days with your excessive buttons and triggers and baby sticks… get off my arcade lawn!
It is a photo of the Atari 2600’s joystick, just a tall rubberized hexagonal cylinder of beauty on a square base with a single red button in the upper left of the base.

OMG people here actually don’t let the worst takes from bad people go unchallenged?! I’d expect this kind of behavior at a Denny’s, but not on a social media platform!
Tom Nichols dipshit extraordinaire @radiofreetom.bsky.s... Skeet: People here seem to think they *must* reply, and they must police the platform, which is very much the old Twitter.

OK Wall Street Journal, you just bought yourself a gigantic defamation suit from top lawyers just as soon as they’re done destroying Business Insider and protecting Bill Ackman’s wife’s honor. Remember, it’s not plagiarism if it’s just Wikipedia!

You can all stop complaining now, I fixed it. Just please don’t show Steven Wingdings.
It is the horrible awful logo with “Graphic Design Is My Passion” rotated left 90 degrees in red text of the left stalk of the “N” in the NE “logo.” The font, of course, is Papyrus.

Is it this one?
Lincoln understood that the greatest challenge for a leader in a democratic society is to educate public opinion. "With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed," he said. "Consequently he who moulds public sentiment, goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. "

I gotta say the “Weird Bouie reply guys” blocklist works as advertised. Highly recommend!
