Most important part of the article.
A screenshot from the article. "Zion Oil and gas, a penny stock that as of September had no revenue from drilling, said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing last week that it would require shareholders to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than court," is the text displayed. A red underline has been added under, "no revenue from drilling."

Comic Books were very formative to my early reading, but I'll skip them here.

Red Planet was an early one. I picked it up because I couldn't wait for the next episode of the cartoon special. Also "Have Space Suit, Will Travel," was an early favorite. Plus the "My Teacher is an Alien" series.
The front cover on Robert A Heinlein's novel Red Planet. This version was unabridged and has a bubble that says, "The entire, uncut novel!" The image shows a brownish tan desert backdrop behind a huge plantlike formation made of overlain purple and green striped leaves. Atop the formation a young man in a strange space suit holds a fuzzy green alien alien aloft with one of its eyestalks facing the viewer.

You've just reminded me of my favorite ever protective product case. I had this in green for my DS Lite.
A Nerf branded protective case for a Nintendo DS handheld gaming system. This one is purple, and looks old and well loved.

Finally took a moment to hang up my headphone stand. It looks great and it's right in arms' reach, and I'm range of the charging cable.
A headphone stand that looks like a crow from the webcomic "Crow Time" is mounted on the wall. Please ignore the audio interface for my guitar balanced precariously on my network switch. There is a tiny plastic figurine of a tiger and a carving of a turtle made from a piece of a geode.

Turns out I clicked the wrong button when I tried to share this, so it wasn't animated. I wonder if that's why I couldn't find it from anyone else on Bsky either.

A Dinosaur's Story
A picture of the cover of "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story by Hudson Talbott. This version of the book cover has fairly detailed art, appears to depict the dinosaurs in the middle of New York, and has one of them reading a map, the side of the map facing the reader is labelled "Lower Manhattan." This is the cover the book had when I bought it at a scholastic book fair shortly before dirt was invented.

I forget which film it was specifically, I remember the plot was that they wanted to make a, uh, "film."
A still image from an old Cheech and Chong film. Cheech Marin is wearing an oversized green tank top that hangs down almost to his knees. On the shirt in red, possibly in spray paint, E. T. has been written on his shirt, and a crude drawing of three testicles hangs just low enough to fully hide his crotch. He wears a black beanie with spring-mounted antenna or "dealie boppers" on top and holds his hands half extended as if to indicate he is not a man but a creature to be shocked by or frightened of, perhaps even intrigued by.

If you had to pay the actual cost of the tool you were using instead of the current advertising/loss leader cost, you wouldn't be able to afford it. The dataset it was made out of wasn't clean, it's an unacceptable resource hog, and they aren't turning a profit on it.
A graphic listing ethical problems of LLM models advertised as "AI." The list includes "Biases and Hallucinations," "Homogeneity and Misrepresentation of language/culture," "Harmful and violent content," "Private information," "Copyright Infringement," "Exploitation of underpaid workers," "Erosion of rich human practices," "Tons of carbon emissions," "Huge quantities of energy and water consumption," "Rare metals for manufacturing hardware," among others.

Kagi sounded like the perfect product for me until I read more on their website.

Quote with a title screen that's iconic to you
A frame from the title screen of Super Mario World. A small Mario is riding Yoshi. The pair are descending on a green Koopa's back while Yoshi's tongue lashes at the open air. Ahead of them, a red koopa plots revenge and a blue koopa is unaware of the impending fracas.

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.”

The three spirits:
A frame from Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers. It shows Meako, Freako, and Shreako, (The Brothers) in front of a table. We can see through the brothers to the empty platter and the remnants of the food they have just eaten.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
A pen and pencil sketch. There is an image of a man standing with his fists clenched, presumably in anger. He overlooks the scene of a bed in which a woman hiding mostly behind a blanket is reclined beside a drawing of a wooden pipe such as might have been used for smoking. A text bubble drawn from the woman reads, "Darling, it's not what it looks like!"

Got a lovely package in the mail today. @beardedrogue.bsky.social
A cardboard box stamped with the "Allplay" logo. The shipping label has been blacked out, but the packing slip on the label lists the contents as "Game Sakura Slam 1" "Kabuto Sumo Swarm 1" "Promo Mushi Plushi 1" "Upgraded Kabuto Sumo Deluxe Ring 1" "Upgraded Sakura Slam Deluxe Ring 1" "Promo Dr Bibble 1" and "Sakura Slam Medallion 1" A cardboard box that has been opened. Inside it a Mushi Plushie sits on a copy of Kabuto Sumo Swarm, dangling his feet over a copy of Kabuto Sumo Sakura Slam. In front of the game boxes is a plastic bag containing the Dr Bibble promo character. Beside the games, a deluxe wooden Kabuto Sumo ring and a Deluxe wooden Sakura Slam ring have been assembled and can be seen.

Seems like your GPS is out of date. I think I have an accurate map somewhere.
A very poorly edited photograph of a road sign with five curvy arrows to indicate a confusing branching road ahead. The left path has "Wolf Creek" pasted onto it. The slight left, curved path points to a sign that says, "Hyena Drive" in an entirely different color from everything else. The righthand path has "Coyote Creek" pasted on. The half-right path isn't an arrow, but instead loops back into the righthand path and says, "Jackal Lover Lane." The central path straight ahead has been broadened cartoonishly by splitting the photo and pasting it onto itself again, and says, "Fox Tail Way."

So, Edge of Sleep is Really Good. Like, I'm biased because I'm a fan of surrealism in art and the dreamlike qualitied edited in are perfectly on point for me, but I couldn't stop watching it from start to finish.
A promo image from "The Edge of Sleep" featuring Dave on a tile floor looking distressed, gripping his hair while possibly crying or screaming. Everything is tinted red as if under emergency lights.

Without downloading new pics, where are you mentally?
A towering figure of Garfield is crucified upon a great red cross, his side is pierced by a giant smoking tobacco pipe as if it were the Spear of Longinus from Evangelion. Instead of legs of appropriate size to his proportion, Garfield's body ends in at least a dozen too-small lower-body-with -legs combinations. Odie looks on in the center foreground, while somebody, presumably John, tells, "Garfield!!" In admonishment at the scene.

As it turns out I was early a big before the bandwagon. Maybe on the BandBicycle.
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #406,156!
