Self portrait
Black and white film photo of a circular mirror at the entrance to an underground car park. Half the background is grey concrete, half is distant apartments and street light. In the circular mirror a crouching photographer is seen below fluorescent lights curving into darkness

Classic Liberal party putting their best foot forward with just a little bit of light deception in the mail #auspol (from a friend, not my electorate)
Envelope with "IMPORTANT VOTING INFORMATION FOR THE FEDERAL ELECTION" on the outside, and a Liberal party logo on the letter inside Envelope with IMPORTANT on the outside and a letter from Grange Chung, Liberal party candidate for Reid, inside.

Nothing sus here
A screenshot of a phishing email, but the variables didn't get filled in with values. Variable names visible in the message include "victimdomain", "victimname" etc.

To me the giveaways are the text (though it's much better than some I've seen) and this weird black leaf. But AI image generators are quite good at mimicing all sorts of styles. It's very impressive, but concerning.
Crop from original image showing a leaf overlapping a logo. The leaf which is yellow becomes black as it overlaps the logo, matching the text on the logo

I don't know who needs to hear this but The Boy Bands Have Won is back on music streaming services after having been unavailable for I don't know how long. Entertain your family this Christmas with classics like El Fusilado, I Wish That They'd Sack Me, and Lord Bateman's Motorbike!
The full title of the album is: "The boy bands have won, and all the copyists and the tribute bands and the TV talent show producers have won, if we allow our culture to be shaped by mimicry, whether from lack of ideas or from exaggerated respect. You should never try to freeze culture. What you can do is recycle that culture. Take your older brother's hand-me-down jacket and re-style it, re-fashion it to the point where it becomes your own. But don't just regurgitate creative history, or hold art and music and literature as fixed, untouchable and kept under glass. The people who try to 'guard' any particular form of music are, like the copyists and manufactured bands, doing it the worst disservice, because the only thing that you can do to music that will damage it is not change it, not make it your own. Because then it dies, then it's over, then it's done, and the boy bands have won."

Introduce yourself with four video games

Glad to see Bluesky choosing the "we will charge money" approach to monetisation. (Sorry to DHHpost but he does make the point.)
Screenshot of a Twitter conversation: 1. Someone posts about using a new email product called HEY 2. Rick replies: "How will they monetize this? Nothing is free." 3. Creator of HEY replies: "Money. We will charge money."

How is he so comfortable at all times

The reflection in the water does *not* look correct. Also can we get any experts on whether the headlights would keep functioning despite everything being very on fire?

GNOME is very pretty. Especially so thanks to wallpaper art from unsplash.com/@oskark

External screen also just works- screen, power, mouse and keyboard off the one USB-C input. Now we're cooking with peanut oil

It all looked more or less like it does in the manual guides.frame.work/Guide/Framew...

Here's one of the extra magnet:
Close up short focal length of a Framework laptop from the side. Its keyboard is off exposing the motherboard. Close to the camera, blurry, is a label "made with 💚 by the Framework team" and a list of names. In focus is a tiny silver rectangular magnet raised above the circuitry.

A curvy, almost bulbous golden living spaceship criss-crossed with tiny white-glowing threads and lights, with long tentacle-like appendages swept backwards, surrounded by a blue glow and an ocean-like tunnel of spacetime. (Moya from Farscape)
