Very angry nerd. Texas based.

All opinions my own, and I stand by them usually.

Someone has never really experienced discomfort in her life.
A very large cat sleeps on a poofy greyish-green chair. The cat is large and has long fur with grey, brown, and black stripes. She’s got white on her face, belly, neck, and paws.

What the fuck? The page is worse but this is emblematically stupid.
A screenshot of whitehouse.gov. The Major Events Timeline has a picture of Hunter Biden, shirtless in a bathtub, with the following text below: 2023 Cocaine Discovered During Biden’s administration, a U.S. Secret Service agent discovered a small, zippered plastic bag containing cocaine in the West Wing entrance lobby. Speculation has pointed to Hunter Biden, an admitted drug user. Additional evidence includes a laptop, seized in.. I had to cut it off there because I couldn’t take any more.

I’m not giving one of my typical answers here.
Cover of Refused’s album The Shape of Punk To Come. A cream/off white background with 4 black and white photographs. Top left is some sort pressure cooker or dish, top right is a man in a coat in front of a crowd having just thrown something. Bottom right has a bunch of people with black bars over their eyes and smoking from a hookah (? Maybe hard to tell). Lower left (but more like bottom middle) is a dance, where a man is holding a woman upside down. There are purple and red colors interspersed between photographs.

I’m An Old ™️
Cover of Sunny Day Real Estate’s first album, Diary. Cover is a painting of Fisher Price Little People (a nuclear family of fathers, mother, 2 kids) in a kitchen. The kitchen is mostly empty, with lots of counter space. A toaster is on the counter and smoke is pouring out of it.

The “Mike Johnson not seen” feed reminds me of this passage from Peter Robb’s book Midnight In Sicily, especially “The mafia response to the law was always to deny everything. Deny totally. However false it sounds.“
Sicily, that he found it foreign and hostile ground, was sounding awfully like a mafioso under interrogation. The mafia response to the law was always to deny everything. Deny totally. However false it sounds. Don't open a chink. Let the other do the work. Throw in a few stupid explanations to show your contempt for the questioner and the institutions he represents. Give nothing away. I'd have expected the finest political mind in Europe to articulate

Looking good, Austin.
A whole lot of people walking down the 1st street bridge in Austin. Lots of anti trump signs

Portrait of the artist as an old man.
A man with a beard in a black “No Kings - No Tyrants” t shirt. The man is ginger, freckled, and has a beard with more than a little grey in it.

No kings fit checks.
A man in grey shorts and a “No Kings - No Tyrants” T-shirt. He’s wearing a large peacock head on his head. He’s standing in a bathroom, and the picture is a reflection in the mirror.

Dammit, they’re getting wise. I’m going to crowd source this one. How do I respond?
Text Scammer: Hello, my name is Nancy. I currently have extensive experience in IT management and would love to learn from and exchange ideas with you. Me: Perhaps you should find me on Updog Text Scammer: Is that a new app I should know about, or am I falling for a joke?

Everywhere else: “Yay, fall, jacket weather!”

Why do we want to have the ability to do things like “predict the weather”?
Tufte’s graph of Napoleon’s march on Moscow in 1812. Graph shows troop numbers reducing drastically, at least in part because of cold and weather.

I already answered but this is the other pillar of my love for video games.
Cover of Sega Genesis’ Toejam & Earl. Cover features Toejam on the left, a 3 legged skinny red alien wearing white sneakers, a gold medallion that says “TJ”, and a white backwards hat. Earl is on the right. He’s an orange alien wearing blue shorts with polka dots and sunglasses. Earl is holding a hot dog. Toejam has a speech bubble that says “Jammin’”. They’re both on a green field with pink music notes floating in the background

Would you kindly accept this as an answer?
Iconic “Big Daddy” from Bioshock. It’s a large figure in a diving suit, right hand in a huge fist, left hand replaced by a big drill. To its left is a little girl with weird eyes holding a hypodermic needle. They’re in a large tube underwater.

Geordi LaForge meme. Top has Geordi looking disapprovingly at “Don’t comply in advance”. Points are that it’s bossy, already a cliche and implies permission to comply later. The bottom has Geordi with red eyes looking approvingly at “Fuck you, Make Me” with points are that it leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies and it’s easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner.

Poster for Inner Sanctum records. Features a large outside of an ear above ground. Below it is an ear canal underground. Inside the ear canal is an armadillo with headphones listening to a portable record player.

And Rockville Centre just has… a lot going on.

It looks like a baking ingredient.
A diagonally split blue & gold field. The gold side has the shape of the village in blue and the blue side has a magnolia (?) in gold. In the middle is a seal that says “The Incorporates Village of Rockville Centre” on the outside. In the inside it says “Nassau Co. New York 1893”. The seal looks like the logo for a brand of flour.

Sylvania, Ohio, is uh not bad. Considering just how crap that place is, it’s got an ok flag.

Seattles is absolutely terrible.
A teal background with white and teal waves in the upper left corner. A stylized “S” frames Chief Sealth’s stylized head. Around the “S” are the words “City of Goodwill” and “Seattle”

I actually liked San Francisco’s.
A white background with a gold border. A phoenix rises from flames. A banner below the phoenix reads “Oro en Paz; Fierro en Guerra” and the words San Francisco are printed below it.
