Omg! I just wrote this in a review five minutes ago!
There's something deeply satisfying in reading anything by Becky Chambers. In some odd way it's like being embraced by a warm hug while someone whispers the secrets of the universe to you as you doze off. When vou wake up, you won't remember the details, they are secrets for a reason, but you'll feel validated, satisfied, and that deep painful hole inside won't be nearly as deep as it was yesterday

Just more evidence that establishment Dems have little interest in actually making the world better. The Searchlight Institute is being funded by several "progressive" billionaires, basically people who want to keep their tax cuts but don't want the full fascist to win because bad for business.
Screenshot of a New York Times article: A New Democratic Think Tank Wants to Curb the Influence of Liberal Groups Led by a former aide to Senator Harry Reid, the Searchlight Institute is soping to persuade Democrats to play down causes like climate change and L.G.B.T.Q. rights to appeal to more voters Below is an image of 5 individuals that appear to be in their late 30s - early 40s. From left to right, a white man, hands in pockets, with a slight smile, a white woman with bright red hair and an overly serious face hands clasped behind her, in the center and slightly in front of everyone else is a tall white man with long brown hair and a beard hands folded in front of him(looks to be taking himself way too seriously), a bald black man with hands in pants pockets and no specific expression, and a white woman with brown hair hands clasped in front of her and a slight smile and tilted head. They all stand outside in a park or green space in front of several green trees.

I mean... I was hooked by this scene, I cackled so loudly I scared the cat!
In an anime style of animation, Remi, in a yellow jacket and with a long purple braid, leans back against the foot of a couch, head back as she pushes a cylinder of rolled food down her throat, whole! Her mouth is impossibly wide open, eyes slited in pleasure, as eyebrows slightly raise.

Oh, this one was pretty good, watching the A-Side of my rugby team, The San Francisco Fog, celebrate their win of the NORAM Tournament Cup!

A screenshot of Chris Mowrey quoting Utah Senator Mike Lee. Under Mike Lee's post is a double image of the assassin, the first taken from a camera of one of the homes he broke into, he's in a mask that makes him look bald. The second photo is a headshot of him like you'd find on a website. Basic white guy with a military haircut.

There's a few people on Etsy that make them. This one is an early 90s edition that uses green and red text to specify Bastion's outside perspective vs the book's internal story/perspective.
Opened copy of The Neverending Story showing dark red and light green text denoting the changes in perspective. Opposite the text page is an artistic rendition of Morla the Ancient One(a giant turtle)curled up asleep in the swamp of sadness. Also rendered in a red and green coloring to match the text.

I've read it a couple of times, worth the read even as an adult. I got myself a artistically covered copy on Etsy.
Copy of The Neverending Story with a tan leather cover with the intertwined snake symbol of AURAN on the front cover above gold lettering of the title. Made to look like the prob book from the movie.

For example, below is a screenshot of my previous post with alt text. If you click the "alt" bubble you'll see it written in a text box, this is what's picked up by a screen reader.
It's embedded text that can be read by screen readers(accessibility tech built into smart phones and used by blind and visually impaired people). Before you post an image or GIF there's a little bubble over the image that says "altext" which you press, opens a text box for a typed out description.

A transgender symbol in rainbow colors is on the wrist(circle with an arrow(male), a plus(female), and arrow with line(androgynous/non-binary).

BREAKING NEWS The California Department of Education Responds to President Trump's Executive Order on What Can Be Taught in Schools "President Trump signed an executive order today that does nothing but require the Secretary of Education to determine what federal education funds can legally be rescinded as a penalty for teaching curricula that President Trump finds objectionable. We can give the Trump Administration that answer right now: [bold]nothing.[/bold] It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach by threatening to defund essential public services for students. School curriculum should not vacillate back and forth depending on the occupant of the White House, which is why federal law [bold]already prohibits[/bold] the federal government from leveraging grands to mandate specific instructional content in schools."

I'm not surprised. On the Samsung keyboard and the image editor, the AI assistance button looks very similar to the sparkle emoji but with 4 stars
Samsung AI assistance button: a black circle with one large white 4 pointed star with a second smaller star behind and to the left. Two smaller stars above and to the left and below and to the right of the larger star. The sparkle emoji is similar with three gold 4 pointed stars, large, medium, and small, clustered together

Still from the movies Twisters; Glenn Powell walking away with head and upper body turned back slightly, looking over his left shoulder. He's wearing a cream colored cowboy hat and a snug fitting white tee-shirt. Rain pelts down, wetting the tee-shirt and showing off his nicely well defined arms, shoulders, and back.

Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd

I may have fallen in love with my own creation...
Character creation finalize screen: a tall light skinned elf with large pointed ears that stick straight back, red hair in a rough wide faux hawk hair style(longer and sticking up on top/back with sides very short). Dressed in a rough blue coat with several leather straps around the torso, gray pants and blue fingerless gloves. Close up of character face. Oval in shape and a slightly prominent chin, strong nose and cheekbones, medium lips that slightly curl at the edges. Eyes are a little hooded with natural darker skin around eyes to give them depth. Determined look on face in this image, but his eyebrows naturally peak and come down in the center creating a cross between a jokester/cocky/mischievous look to his face. Overall age would be around early to mid 30s with a little more ruggedly handsome vibe.
