sooooo is this what the white house looks like now? can’t find any current pictures of the south lawn view
edited copy of the official White House logo, a navy oval with white text and which normally shows the entire South Portico façade. the edited version removes the entire right one-third, which should be all of the east wing. under the image is text, “THE WHITE HOUSE. WASHINGTON” in white.

this propaganda looks like something you’d see in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
an advertisement poster on the wall of a building with the all-caps text “AI purpose-built for the department of war” written on the left. black background with white text, except “AI” and “dept of war” are in orange. a stark white helicopter is on the right. the company appears to be ark dot ai

which way western man
two side-by-side pictures of moustachioed actor TOM SELLECK. each is on a yellow background. on the left, he is mid-buttoning down his shirt. on the right, his chest is exposed. he could be anywhere from 30 to 60 years old in these pictures (complimentary).

1) "not just X—it is Y" is classic LLM. love an Em dash though
2) nobody hyphenates "brought" across a new line
3) "elowns"? nobody mistypes an e for a c
4) "I don't cry [...] I schedule" is a thing humans say now?
5) just compare the two sets of quotation marks in the screenshot below
screenshot showing text where each of the words "grace" and "ours" is surrounded by double quotation marks. each set looks different from the other. they don't look like they would come from the same typeface. in the final quotation mark of the first word, the symbol looks janky like an upside down cursive v or something!

the quoted skeet was not written by a human, but it's fooled a lot of people. worse is that some are openly saying it doesn't matter if it's fake—it's good anyways! but I do think that matters!

[alt text of quoted skeet in image. image itself is of Shrek skeptically looking at you]
Text of image in quoted skeet. Likely generated by an LLM. Formal Statement from Megan Byron (Wife of Andrew Byron —for now) July 18, 2025 – Manhattan, NY It has come to my attention—and apparently to the attention of half the intemet—that my husband, Andrew Byron, has made certain... choices. Public ones. Under stadium lights. D wring a Coldplay concert. A venue not typically associated wit-infidelity, but here we are. Let me be perfectly clear: I am not issuing this statement in defense, nor in heartbreak. I am issuing it in power. In precis-ion. In silk gloves and sharpened wit. I will not be engaging in performative forgiveness, nor am I interested in the optics of "grace." What Andy has done is not just humiliating—it is banal. Common. A man of ambition bro-ught down by his own astonishing lack of imagination. I have retained counsel. I have reviewed holdings. I have re-allocated what was once "ours" into what is now, very cleanly, mine. I am not spiraling I am ascending. And while Andy may have quoted Coldplay in his statement, I will simply say, when the lights went out, I saw everything clearly. To those who expect tears—I don't cry for clowns, I schedule. I document. I rebuild. This is not revenge. It is refinement. And he will feel it in the silence that follows.

delighted to see that Portuguese pluralizes iPad Pro the way that I think it should be in English! see also Whoppers Jr.
Headline and text from MacMagazine article (Portuguese): iPads Pro poderão ganhar segunda câmera frontal para uso na vertical Previstos para o segundo semestre deste ano, os futuros iPads Pro (com o chip “M5”) deverão ganhar outra mudança importante no que se refere à câmera frontal — que foi movida de uma posição pensada para um uso do aparelho em retrato (vertical) para uma mais ideal quando ele está no modo paisagem (horizontal)

Popup from Microsoft Excel web editor, prompted when choosing to open a file in the desktop program. it reads “all done. You can close this file now. We opened this file in Microsoft Excel on your computer.” It then lists three options to choose from: resume editing here; tell us what you think of Excel; try launching Microsoft Excel again. the “tell us what you think” option is highlighted.

I would like to thank @rusty.todayintabs.com for breaking my brain with yesterday's newsletter as well as for giving me my new Quick Brown Fox *and* Lorem Ipsum
"A Seventeen X Sacai Labubu Wearing Carhartt WIP Sold For $31,250 On Pharrell's Joopiter." The phrase is written four times in different fonts as one would with the phrase "the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." "A Seventeen X Sacai Labubu Wearing Carhartt WIP Sold For $31,250 On Pharrell's Joopiter" repeated several times, like the Latin-ish "lorem ipsum" placeholder text.

a human girl, whose true mate was stolen from her, but fate forces her to wed an alpha by mistake
an advertisement for a show (? or movie?) called Unwanted True Mate. the synopsis reads thus: “A human girl, whose true mate was stolen from her, but fate forces her to wed an alpha by mistake.” it is apparently playing on DramaBox, available on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

Vince McMahon reaction meme set to the legal definition of Shrek: “Shrek's namesake character is a large, bald, dull-green ogre with a broad, round face, brown eyes, and highly distinctive trumpet-shaped ears. Shrek typically wears crude clothing consisting of a canvas-like shirt, a leather vest, and brown leggings.“

just saw this picture of an HP laptop with the ports on the back and I had no idea I wanted that to come back. this is a future is worth fighting for
photo from behind at an angle of part of an HP laptop (not sure what model) with three ports on the rear. last time I saw that there was an RS-232 port or at least VGA, but fortunately all these are USB-C. one port is on the rear right and the other two appear to be in the center, so there could be another one just out of frame even. the back panel appears to be a gold color while the rest of it is possibly bronze but it might just be the lighting
