Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future! Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

"I mean, no, yeah, wildly inappropriate, given our ages. I mean it WOULD be, if that's what this was, which it's not. That's just funny. HAHAHAHA. Funny, right? Good one, sweety. Good joke. Haha?"
Kash Patel at a press conference looking nervously off to his right. Kash Patel affecting a big smile and laugh while Donald trump leans into his person space from the adjacent chair to his left.

"Well I guess I just can't win, then, can I? Why do I even bother trying to explain if you're not going to trust me or listen to what I have to say for myself?"
Kash Patel with his arms raised wide and a grimace on his face, probably believing that he is projecting confidence and not frustration.

"Well, no, honey... because... no, because... I mean you're not listening to what I'm saying, because... I already told you... I..."

"No because you see she was having trouble with the PLUMBING and she called me to come over and HELP her and I didn't want to BOTHER you so I didn't SAY anything, and... what do you mean, sure, of course she'll back me up... no, I'm in my suit because that's what I was wearing at the time..."
Kash Patel at CPAC, hands out in front of him gesticulating, while seated in a cushioned armchair with his ankles crossed, eyes wide as he animatedly addresses the crowd. Kash Patel staring into camera during an interview looking off-guard and unsettled.

Yes, we all adapt to the world, but we can adapt the world to ourselves, if we all agree to try. The whole point of having a new generation is to improve, and to improve the world around you.
Three panels from Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill - The Green of Eden Vol 1 1. In the first panel, Bill stands framed against a cosmic backdrop, and says "I am alone. I look at the heavens and think them empty. And if not empty, I find the idea of worshipping whatever dwells there obscene." In the second, a purple-robed Skrull monk asks Bill "But why do you continue?" and Bill responds "It doesn't change what is right." In the final panel, Bill lookd out at the reader in close up and says "If there is nothing but what we make in this world, brothers...let us make good."

Place signs on room doors to help your loved one/care recipient recognize familiar places in their home.
An image of the door to the Oval Office, replete with gaudy gilt scrollwork over the paned-glass door. Next to the door at eye level are multiple pieces of paper with the words "THE OVAL OFFICE" written in golden letters in a cursive font at least 8 inches tall, no more than one word per page.

"Most people rejected His message" meme, based on a panel from a Chick Tract comic where one of the Pharisees shouts at a silhouetted Jesus to "shut up". Text below the cartoon panel edited to read "They hated the beeves guy because He told them the truth."

Actually, you will live to see man-made horrors so fully within your comprehension. Well-documented horrors against which we've all been warned for generations. Man-made horrors that exist solely because coding and engineering were idolized to the exclusion of critical thinking and the humanities.
A famous 2021 Tweet by American writer Alex Blechman which reads: Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale. Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.

'You don't have to convince me' meme from Spider-man 2. Peter [Labeled as 'New Yorkers']: Man I love Zohran Mamdani Harry [Labeled as 'George Santos']: If Zohran wins, I'll leave New York forever Peter/New Yorkers: I already told you I love him, George, you don't have to keep selling me on the guy

Don't make me tap the updated slide...
Image of an infamous slide from an IBM training program, ca. 1979, edited extremely amateurishly to appear as though corrective fluid had covered up the word "computer" to replace it with "billionaire", thus reading as follows: A BILLIONAIRE CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A BILLIONAIRE MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION

I love all these characters so much, for different reasons, but the pure infectious innocent joy of Petaur will forever rank him among the best of the Little Guys out there, to me.

(And I'll take any excuse to repost this in a vaguely appropriate context.)
Character art of the sugar glider Petaur from the Unprepared Casters Campaign "And Back Again", depicted with a speech bubble containing a viral skeet by ansitru that says "I just don't think you're fulfilling your whimsy macros, bro. You're not trinketmaxxing. You aren't achieving your peak crow performance. Are you even trinketpilled, bro? Have you done your "sense of childlike joy" reps yet? Bro. 😔" Original Skeet: https://bsky.app/profile/ansitru.bsky.social/post/3luseoyschs2a

God this is just like when you meet a hottie in the UK who says they want you to take them to Pound Town, and then it turns out they just need a ride to their version of a Dollar General...

Literally busted out laughing walking down the street when Freddie/Blake hit that ICONIC moment...
Edit of the classic "Call an ambulance! ... but not for me!" meme in which an old man, confronted by a younger attacker with a knife, doubles over in distress in the first image of the pair, only to rise up to deliver the final line while holding a revolver. The younger attacker is labeled "Kamonwan-strosity," the knife "Ed Farnswarmer", and the old man "Blake Lipizzaner." Text has been changed to read "Call Cthulhu! ... but not for me!"

... did Wil Wheaton sign on to a Redshirts movie deal?
Screenshot of a bluesky timeline featuring John Scalzi's skeet saying "Good news. Will share it after my event tonight, which starts in (checks clock) eight minutes." directly below Wil Wheaton's skeet saying "I can't say what it is, but something awesome, that I've been hoping would come together since the beginning of the year, just came together. I was beginning to worry that it wouldn't, but it did. I'm so excited, I'm just hopping around like a silly person and wanted to share my joy."

Listen, that was an anti-ICE bullet, it was +5 vs ICE...

And they couldn't find that one, so they exclusively shot detainees, a totally unsuspicious action for anti-ICE shooters to take when they can't find the anti-ICE bullet!
"Hello, fellow kids" meme, in which a visibly aged Steve Buscemi unsuccessfully attempts to go "undercover" at a high school by throwing on a hoodie, wearing his cap backwards, and carrying a skateboard over his shoulder. Caption reads: "How do you do, fellow anti-ICE agitators?"

I think at this point a lot of us are just offended at how OBVIOUS the lies are getting. You have to debate whether these people think we're absolute morons, or just ARE absolute morons.

I guess they didn't find the anti-ICE bullet, so instead shot ONLY detainees. Seems a little odd, though...

They are really having trouble embodying the vernacular of the opposition lately, shall we say...

Not really a math issue, but even worse for a journalist, it's poorly written - comparing two separate questions, not a choice between only two options. 66% positive on one, 44%* positive on the other.

* Also clearer in the source at Gallup, where it's 66% vs 42%.

Missing out on this would be like missing out on his amazing, prophetic vision of the Metaverse when it changed all our lives back in 2022!

Imagine what your day to day life would look like without the immersive experience of the Metaverse, people!
Screen shot of a 2022 tweet by Mark Zuckerberg, "We're lauching Horizon Worlds in France and Spain today! Looking forward to seeing people explore and build immersive worlds, and to bringing this to more countries soon." The tweet is accompanied by an image of Zuckerberg's dead-eyed, awkward avatar posed in front of two not-to-scale renderings fit for a early twenty-teens era gaming console, one of the Eiffel tower, the other of an extremely blocky, dark-grey monochromatic rendition of what one guesses should be the Sagrada Familia cathedral, in Barcelona. The lackluster quality of the graphics cannot be overstated.
