This image from the Perseverance Mars rover came down yesterday.

The rover is looking down towards the ground, forlornly.

Wondering why someone would ever maroon it on that dead, cold planet.
A sad rover, its camera assembly at the top of its mast looking down. In the background, the very definition of loneliness.

An old image from some international promotional material for Star Wars. In the picture, the character of Darth Vader is referred to as Robot Galactico, and appears to be either near a point of very bright yellow light that is causing a reflection on his helmet lenses, or he is extremely bright inside and has a small crack in his visor. His breathing apparatus appears to be letting forth a tremendous amount of blood. It is unclear whose blood this is. If it is his blood then he is in bad shape. If it is somebody else's blood, then this raises a question of why he would even do this. Any advanced intergalactic leader of any type of society must know that it is dangerous to allow the blood of others so close to your face. Another possible explanation is that it is just joke blood that he put on his own face to make himself look really badass, but he runs the risk of his opponents discovering that it's just fake toy grease and then kicking his ass just because he went to such great lengths just to be a little poser. He is also not a robot, even though he keeps saying that he is more machine than man.

People think "politics" is what you say, but politics is in fact how you wield power. In that sense, driving a car is one of the most profound ways to reveal what your actual politics are.

How people drive reveals the sickness at the heart of our society: wanting power, but not responsibility.

It just needs to be way easier to lose your license and your car for reckless driving, because a few months of major societal disruption 5 years ago taught people that driving in such a way that kills others or themselves is nbd

(Excerpt from The Glow, from Jaguar Skies)

So
the physique
of our gestures
is truth.
Vibrating like the simplest
living crystal
and making spirit loops
of exquisite complexity and power.

tempest 2000, print ad, imagery, jaguar (1994) archive.org/details/vide...
an in game screenshot of the game tempest from the haguar is shown in the middle of the imagery. surrounding the in game screenshot is the repeated thick white caps text font: 'them' (again and again and again) and then one 'you' in red (all with various arrows pointing towards enemies and you on the screenshot).

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.

The product triad is bullshit. The ideal software development team actually has four members:
A banner says "software." underneath is a giant pigeon in a suit, a miner, a camel smoking a cigar, and a man in dreadlocks looking at a boom box.
