So on point I had to add alt-text and share
3 panel comic set in podcast studio with “trash talk” neon sign on wall. 1st Panel: Raccoon 1, wearing headphones and a gold chain, speaks plainly into the mic: “You gotta cut the negativity out of your life.” 2nd Panel: Racoon 2, wearing a red beanie and gold watch, agrees. “Facts” he says. 3rd Panel: both racoons are seen across the podcast table. The mic is in the middle. Racoon 1 says, with hands together as if he has found enlightenment and must share it with his podcast bros, “That way you have time to eat more garbage.” Racoon 2, expression impassive as those these truths are self-evident: “That’s facts.”

Like the name of this swimwear brand is deeply gross but I find it even more egregious that they’ve 1) somehow plucked Wahiawa from a map of Hawai‘i and 2) WAHIAWA IS NOT ON THE COAST YOU ABSOLUTE DOORKNOBS
screenshot of a women’s tropical-themed bikini bottoms. The brand is called “Nip Tuck Swim” and the style is labelled “Coast of Wahiawa, Brigette Bikini Bottom”

Now with added alt text for the screenshot of the NYT article:
#Alt4Me
The legal maneuvering came to a head during several days of sealed, in-person testimony in Reno in September by Mr. Murdoch, Lachlan, James, Elisabeth, Prudence and a number of their representatives on the trust. The proceedings revealed that Mr. Murdoch’s children had started secretly discussing the public-relations strategy for their father’s death in April 2023. Setting off these discussions was the episode of the HBO drama “Succession,” the commissioner wrote, “where the patriarch of the family dies, leaving his family and business in chaos.” The episode prompted Elisabeth’s representative to the trust, Mark Devereux, to write a “‘Succession’ memo” intended to help avoid a real-life repeat.

Hey question..do you know what the icon with corner brackets surrounding a paragraph symbol means? I see it on some images and it looks alt text-related but can’t figure out what it implies.
Screenshot of black & white image of white man in a suit at a microphone. There is a quote under the image and an icon in the bottom RHS. The icon is 4 corner brackets surrounding 3 lines which represent a paragraph/text. The icon has been circled & highlighted with an arrow in bright yellow to bring attention to it

Reaction shot of a Japanese man staring open-mouthed in shock and awe off-camera. The screenshot is from the linked video, in which a group of Black gospel singers go hard AF singing the opening bars of “Cruel Angel’s Thesis” on a Japanese game show.

Reminded of the observation that, of all emotions, spite is nuclear. *joins in the raucous chorus of full-throated belly laughter*

(now with added alt text so more of us can enjoy this truthiness more often)
screenshot of skeet by user RJ Palmer (username @arvalis.bsky.social) which says: “Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.”

I reckon Mackenzie Scott’s group chat is just everyone pinging this picture back and forth any time Bezos makes the news
Iconic photos of Nicole Kidman walking out of her attorney’s office after finalising her divorce from Tom Cruise. She’s the epitome of exhilaration and freedom and relief as she laps up the sun on her face

I really enjoyed how much was said without saying much at all in this para:
Excerpt from NYT piece that reads, “We’re going to be shooting from the hip in real time,” Mr. Musk said, fashioning his hands into a pair of finger guns.

I lowkey love the Olympics for a bunch of reasons (geopolitics, esoteric sports, emotive slo mo montages) and my next question is: why do all the shooting teams look like they’re wearing intl stormtrooper uniforms?

Obligatory ancient but relevant meme:
Screenshot of Twitter user @hanecdote’s post which says “spent about 15 hrs stitching this feminist art meme 😂” and has a picture of her embroidered Arthur’s-clenched-fist-meme but he’s holding a needle. Stitched caption reads, “When you remember that historically, embroidery hasn’t been taken seriously as a medium because it’s ‘women’s work’.
