How convenient my new necklace showed up today. I think it speaks for all of us.
A necklace with the Microsoft Clippy and a speech bubble that says “it looks like you’re barely holding it together. Need some help?” And yes/no buttons to “click” under the text

I have a PhD and I stole this from the internet so by default I can do one (1) stab for you.
Screenshot of a Bluesky post from Instagram. Main post had a photo of a woman with a headline that says, “Oxford student ‘too bright’ for prison is spared jail for stabbing boyfriend” The skeet says, “if I knew skipping jail times was one of the perks of the gifted and talented program I would’ve made an effort” The reskeet says, “you heard it here, if you did gifted and talented in school you are allowed to stab one (1) person”

Welcome to @defcon.bsky.social 🎉
I am your @defconpolicy.bsky.social room host this morning and looking forward to hearing all of the talks! Plus they gave me a microphone and I told a joke and I didn’t get fired, so 😎

Y’all IANAL but I feel like we passed federal judges “expressing concern” about four fucking months ago 🤷🏻‍♀️
Headline from a NY Times live update feed that reads “A 2 year old US citizen was deported ‘with no meaningful process,’ a judge suspects” The text underneath reads, “A federal judge in Louisiana expressed concern on Friday that the Trump administration had deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras “with no meaningful process” and against the wishes of her father.” And the poster has highlighted “expressed concern” in yellow

Actual book I found at a store a few weeks ago
A leather bound book with a sleeve over the cover that says, “internet password keeper - keep track of all of your usernames, passwords, and web addresses in this easy to use logbook” The inside of the internet password keeper. Each page has three sections for website name, username/userid, passwords 1-4c and notes/security answer. There are tabs to sort through the pages so you can find them alphabetically.

I am begging someone to tell me where I can find the same Audacity as the Old White Man™️ I just saw yell and clap at the guy looking for cars that hadn’t paid, asking how to pay… as he walked by *all these signs*
(Yes, Old White Guy was American and spoke perfect English, no language barrier)
A parking lot with no less than three signs that say “PAY HERE” in all caps and instructions on how to pay via QR code

Y’all I am so confused. Like do gen z and gen alpha even know that Will Smith was a rapper? Also I didn’t know that pre-match entertainment was such a big deal. But opening with “Getting Jiggy With It” and Men in Black” kinda show how… not recent his discography is 😂
The rapper from the 90’s who now acts, Will Smith, does pregame entertainment for the CONCACAF finals

Unless this is the scale they’re using, I can’t help you 😂😂😂
A scale in in Korean on a bag describing how spicy something is. It goes: don’t worry, I’m okay, so so, hot, too hot, oh my god, fuck. Next to each level is a pepper that goes from green to a pile of red peppers that is on fire.

Please have some photos of Annie in these trying times.
A predominately black dog with tan paws and a curly black tail lies on her side on a multicolor carpet A very adorable dog with black fur and a white and tan chest and tan paws stares at the camera begging for second dinner. A land seal, aka a black dog that is mostly a head from angle the photo is being taken, stares at the camera because it is dinner time.

I sent this text to @kevinspratt.bsky.social in the BOS Delta lounge MINUTES ago and he turned his laptop around to show me your skeet. Why are we living in the bad place?!
Screenshot of a text that says, “So dude do behind you is watching IG with sound on without earphones. Can I start playing Taylor swift on speaker and stare at him when he turns around and say, “oh I thought we were getting rid of social norms and just playing all our shit out loud” if he turns around?”

This dingleberry, age 14, will only eat kibble that has shredded boiled chicken with a little bit of chicken broth included because she is a refined lady, picky eater, and myself and @kevinspratt.bsky.social are fucking pushovers 😂
