@siracusa.social I was so tired of Red Dot Syndrome that I created a Shortcut to launch Settings and gave it a transparent PNG of the Settings icon. I imagine the janky animation would bother you as much as the badge itself, but I’m willing to tolerate it.

Screencap of a tweet by user @DanEngler on April 20, 2021. It reads “This beetroot pasta is so good that I should be Venmo-ing @elizaskinner every time I make it to thank her for suggesting the recipe.”

What’s the emoji for “trying very hard to not have a panic attack”? Gotta be this one, right?
The “shaking face” emoji, a blurry cartoon face with an expression of shock and motion lines on either side.

Based on the trailer, I’m 97% sure JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH is a remake of ALIEN RESURRECTION.
A montage of images from the “Jurassic World Rebirth” trailer and corresponding scenes from “Alien Resurrection”. Left, a scientist examines a strange embryo suspended in yellow liquid in a tube. Right, an alien-human hybrid embryo suspended in yellow liquid in a tube. Left, a full-grown velociraptor suspended in yellow liquid. Right, a series of tubes of yellow liquid containing alien-human hybrids at various stages of development. Left, a T-Rex trying to grab a man as he struggles to swim away. Right, two xenomorphs pursuing humans underwater. Left, people run down a darkened hexagonal hallway in an InGen facility. Right, the darkened hexagonal hallway of a spaceship. Left, two scientists in hazmat suits are confronted by a giant lumbering creature with a blunt human-like face and long forearms. Right, Ripley is confronted by the “newborn” alien-human hybrid with long forearms.

Y’know who else loved TikTok?
In a promotional shot for the movie “Return to Oz”, Paul McCartney kneels in the foreground holding one hand over his mouth as if surprised. Sitting on his knee is Fairuza Balk as Dorothy, wearing a dress and long braided ponytails. Behind them are two mechanical men, the tall spindly Tin Man and the squat round Tik Tok.

Every January, my RSS reader is inundated with dozens of articles about new products announced at CES and every single one of them sounds like this. (h/t @cabel.panic.com)
A U.S. patent diagram demonstrating an interactive ad. In the first step, a hamburger is shown onscreen with the message “Throw pickle in burger to speed up commercial.” Next, the viewer uses a handheld device to “throw” a virtual pickle at the virtual hamburger. Last, the message “make it your way” is displayed beneath the hamburger.
