Charlie Day discussing the Pepe Silvia meme, showing his character in 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' standing in front of a conspiracy corkboard: "I love that when someone wants to refer to someone as insane they put up a picture of me in front of the corkboard. Like, that's one of the best things that's ever happened to me in life."

I used to work at McDonald's in my youth. Can confirm

#ShamelesslyStolenFromSomewhereElseOnTheInternetHonestlyICantKeepTrackOfThisStuffAnymore #shitpost #shitposting
The image is a humorous meme composed of three distinct sections, playfully suggesting an unconventional method for the production of McDonald's apple pie filling. The top left section displays an industrial scene with a bright orange, molten substance being poured from a metal container. The substance has a flowing, lava-like appearance, suggesting extreme heat and viscosity. The background shows industrial equipment and a metallic structure. The top right section is in black and white and depicts a person in what appears to be a protective suit, possibly a hazmat suit or a heat-resistant garment. The person is using a long tool to manipulate a pool of the same bright orange, molten substance seen in the first image. The setting appears to be an outdoor, possibly rocky environment. The bottom section presents a close-up image of a McDonald's apple pie. The pie is golden brown, showing a crispy and textured crust. It is placed on a white plate, with the McDonald's logo visible on a red wrapper or napkin underneath. The color palette is limited but effective, with the bright orange of the "filling" standing out against the industrial backgrounds and the golden brown of the pie. The meme's layout is straightforward, with the text "McDonald's Making the Filling for their Apple Pies in the '80s" at the top, tying the three images together and establishing the joke.

The image presents a humorous take on a "Breaking News" scenario. At the top, in bold, black text, it reads "BREAKING NEWS". Below, also in black, smaller text states "MILITARY SHOOTS DOWN FOREIGN SMUGGLER ATTEMPTING TO INVADE US AIRSPACE". The main visual element is what appears to be a thermal or infrared image, rendered in shades of gray. In the center, a dark silhouette of Santa's sleigh, pulled by reindeer, is visible. It is presented as if captured by military surveillance. The sleigh and reindeer are the darkest elements in the scene, contrasting against the lighter gray background. Overlaid on the image are several graphical elements, likely from the surveillance system. A small crosshair target is positioned near the sleigh, and several white lines extend from the target, possibly indicating a flight path or tracking information. In the upper left corner, there is a "- 2°" marking. On the right side of the image, there is a vertical column of text, likely system data or status information. The text includes "SLAVE", followed by "LST", along with numerical data such as "1688 F" and "1688 C", and the abbreviation "LTD/R". The overall composition is a parody, merging a serious news headline with a fantastical image of Santa's sleigh, creating a humorous effect.

I'm going to keep calling out companies that offer to pay me to repost stuff on my site. Especially the AI-backed ones, which seem unusually aggressive in this PR tactic. Who knows, maybe they'll stop sending them to me at least (not holding my breath).

Super interesting reporting on Palantir‘s efforts to be used in Swiss governmental services and the military. They decided against it, because they worried Palantir was giving information to CIA and NSA and feared a loss of national sovereignty.

A restaurant I frequent is now playing only Christmas music. I'm already sick of it this year. I guess I'll find somewhere else to go for the next few weeks.
Maybe I'll stay home and get my fill of Christmas by watching _RareExports_, _Violent Night_, and _It's a Wonderful Knife_.

The image is a four-panel comic strip. The art style is minimalist, using simple line drawings and a limited color palette of black, white, and a few accents of red and purple. Panel 1: The first panel sets the scene. It depicts a mother figure, drawn with a large white body and black hair with a red bow. Two children, one with a ponytail and one with short hair, stand facing her. A purple speech bubble asks, "MOM, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE?" The mother is labeled "Me", while the children are labelled "Other books" and "Discworld Books". Panel 2: The second panel shows the mother figure in a similar pose, with the children facing her. A red speech bubble above her says, "SWEETIE, I LOVE YOU BOTH EQUALLY." She is touching the head of the child with the ponytail. Panel 3: The third panel shows the mother figure sitting with the child with short hair. The child with the ponytail is running away. Panel 4: The final panel shows the mother figure with a slightly annoyed expression, holding the child with short hair close. A red speech bubble says, "IT'S YOU... AND BY A LOT." This panel reveals the mother's true preference.

The image is a screenshot from a mobile phone displaying a Google search result. The main focus is on a photograph of a black Dodge Challenger car and a man standing next to it. The man is fair-skinned with short, brown hair and a beard. He is wearing a black leather jacket, a grey t-shirt with a Texas flag on it, blue jeans, and white sneakers. He is standing with his right arm resting on the car. The car is a shiny black, and the image is slightly blurred. The background shows a house with brick siding and some greenery. The photo is overlaid on the Google search interface. At the bottom of the screen, there are options for "AI Mode", "All", "Exact matches", "Products", and "Visual match". There is an "AI Overview" section with text describing the man as Brandt Dodson, a writer of crime novels and short stories. The text highlights his work, including the Colton Parker series and novels like "Daniel's Den" and "White Soul". The top of the screen displays the time, mobile carrier information, and Google’s logo. There are also icons for "Create" and "Share" options. Al Overview The man pictured is Brandt Dodson, a writer of crime novels and short stories. o He is the creator of the hardboiled detective series featuring Colton Parker. o He has also authored several stand-alone novels, including Daniel's Den and White Soul.

Flights remain congested and often unpleasant.

But that misses the point that airlines core businesses are not flying planes. It is to build lounges so that people use their credit cards. And on that count, they have been incredible innovators. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Credit-card deals have become the core of the airline industry. During the pandemic, United’s mileage program, built around its partnership with Chase, was valued at around twenty billion dollars; the rest of the business—the passenger part—was ten billion dollars underwater. Annually, charges on Delta’s American Express cards total about one per cent of the U.S. G.D.P. (“It’s amazing how much money people will spend for a free flight,” Harteveldt observed.) In most years, the programs account for much of the airlines’ profits. This year, Delta’s card will earn the company eight billion dollars. Why do people sign up for the cards? “Lounge access is the No. 1 reason,” a Delta executive recently said, of their Reserve card. Since the airline business is largely a credit-card-loyalty business, and since the credit-card-loyalty business is largely a lounge business, it’s only a minor stretch to think of Delta or United as lounge companies that also fly planes. In Atlanta alone, there are two lounges that together cost more than a hundred million dollars to build.
