An example of the "Most people rejected His message. They hated Jesus because he told them the truth" meme. Jesus is saying "pickles are the worst pickled food"

The Google AI overview on my phone is different, but this is what popped up on my laptop when I searched. (Apologies for the dirty screen - if you just want the most pertinent, funniest line, you can go to the alt text)

A photo of a dirty laptop screen. It is a Google AI overview in response to the search "Edward Tufte views on AI."

It says a lot of critical things about AI and notes that Tufte "has not published a formal, comprehensive manifesto on artificial intelligence, but his lifelong crusade for analytical rigor, high data-ink ratios, and truth in information design directly indicts much of current AI-generated data visualization."

uh newsflash, this year is every city's biggest year yet. Every year is a bigger number than the last one 🙄🙄🙄

A bus stop ad promoting tourism in Philadelphia. It says "America's Big Year Will Be Philly's Biggest Year Yet. PHILLY2026.COM"

Of fucking course this guy would retire from ExxonMobil and go straight into DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division.

A fairly long-winded post on LinkedIn by Robert Levy, currently Executive Counsel at ExxonMobil. The summary is that ExxonMobil has a mandatory senior level retirement age of 65, and he is retiring as a result. He is also going to be immediately joining the Department of Justice in their Environment and Natural Resources Division

Extremely funny to me that this goofy article has an obviously AI-generated image with the letters on the stamper oriented incorrectly to be able to produce the stamp below

An AI generated image. A stamper is on its side, with the word APPROVED clearly visible in red ink. There is a red stamp below it that also says APPROVED. Note that the stamper letters would need to be mirrored to actually produce the stamp shown.

Saw this... bold... advertising strategy on a walk today

A sandwich board is outside a bar. In colorful letters it says:

"Never forget those who served...

... You a $5 hot dog."

There is also an illustration of a hotdog saluting.

A lot of people have embraced the blasphemous "mini melts" but some of us still keep to the old ways

I refuse to actually go to The Free Press, but in case you somehow missed the most embarrassing sequence of words ever devised by man:

A preview of an article from The Free Press. My Favorite Actress Is Not Human, by Tyler Cohen. The article is dated Oct. 2, 2025.

A preview of the article reads: Tilly Norwood doesn't need a hairstylist, has no regrettable tweets, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances.

An edited picture from The Simpsons. Ralph is on the Simpsons' roof, spreading tar. Homer lies in a hammock below. A spaghetti emoji has been placed over the tar.

At the bottom is the following text:

MR. KIBBLESMITH, THE SPAGHETTI FUMES ARE MAKING ME DIZZY

I don't think they're on here but I am absolutely obsessed with this kei truck fire truck that seemingly hangs out with the Baltimore FD and appears in these sketches where the kei truck speaks very enthusiastically in Japanese

A very tiny fire truck, with the body of a Japanese kei truck, is in front of a fire department with several full sized trucks. On the screen, the text "Me? Sure! I'll do my best!" appears in English and Japanese

In other small moments of joy, my girlfriend gave me this RC kei truck for Christmas and I am obsessed

A tiny remote control kei truck sitting on dark kitchen tile. Its headlights are on. The truck has a tiny cab and large bed. It is angled with the cab in the foreground facing down and to the left of the viewer

My New Year's resolution is to play more complicated board games

A view of a table with a complicated board game on it. There is a map of a post apocalyptic United States divided into hexes. There is a card describing the faction the Sons of Neptune. There are cards representing 5 party members visible.

Same energy as the Bitcoin line:

Homer Simpson wears a monocle and sits at the driver's seat of a car. A mustachioed man looks at him from outside the passenger side. At the bottom of the image is the text "WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES THIS MOTOR CAR HAVE OVER, SAY, A TRAIN? ... WHICH I COULD ALSO AFFORD."

dyuhhh actually, heh heh, I find the premise of your question quite ill-founded, sir. quite ill-founded indeed

A "smiley" face with nerd glasses. It's not actually smiling, it has a straight line for a mouth

A common meme from SpongeBob SquarePants: Squidward looks out his second floor window through his blinds as SpongeBob and Patrick play outside

This is a good article but this framing seems to unwittingly adopt the same kind of unhealthy thinking of some of the power users described in the article

A quote from the linked article:

Until its AI can accomplish some incredible feat — say, generating a cure for cancer — success is partly defined by turning ChatGPT into a lucrative business. That means continually increasing how many people use and pay for it.

Joe Vukovich@coolhandvuk· Nov 15

which one of you did this

A screenshot of a smartphone menu. The screen says Connect to open Wi-Fi network Roy Donk_Guest.

Roy Donk is a fictional person mentioned in a sketch in an episode of I Think You Should Leave

A CaBi ebike I was riding earlier today had the entire right pedal apparatus just fall off with no warning while I was in the middle of Pennsylvania Ave (in a part where there are no bike lanes)

A close-up of a Capital Bikes ebike. It's docked. The entire right pedal is missing.

just got served the most demented YouTube ad of all time

A picture of an ad on YouTube.

The ad says:

"Telescopic dog-beating stick for close combat. Protect yourself, extend and retract as needed inner tube is solid.
High strength alloy
Flexible
Protect yourself"

There is a picture of the extended baton and a seal that says "high quality"

Japan's mentos technology is decades ahead of our own

A package of candy. The package says "mentos DUO," and there are Japanese characters written on the package as well. There are pictures of purple grapes and a glass with a splashing liquid in it.

I thought this would be a really funny bit but they're all closed

A picture of San Juan, Puerto Rico from Google Maps. There are 3 points of interest labeled on the map. All 3 are Sbarro's restaurants and all 3 are permanently closed

A scene from The Simpsons. Ralph Wiggum is speaking to good parents, who are seated at a kitchen table. The bottom of the image is captioned:

THEY WERE IN THE CLOSET
MAKING BURN BAGS AND
I SAW ONE OF THE BAGS
AND THE BAG LOOKED AT ME

Got this *bangin'* limeade as well. More and more people are recognizing that Lime is the Taste of the Summer 2025

A light green, blended ice drink. It's lime and mint and ginger flavored and it is extremely good. Lime is the taste of the summer, folks

Four pierogi in a takeout container. They're covered in caramelized onions. On the side is some coleslaw.

who wore it better?

A grey cat sitting at a wooden table looking at the camera with a very surly expression. She has a large collar on that looks like purple flower petals

Daffy Duck from Looney Tunes from the episode Duck Amuck. Instead of his usual body, he has a head that looks like purple flower petals, a green body with red spots, and a tail that's a flagpole, flying a pink flag

Instead of going to the fascism rally I got to play some board games. Maglev Metro is one I've had on my shelf for a while but hadn't played before today. You build your Metro line, pick up and deliver meeples, invest in making your actions more efficient, etc. Gorgeous game & lots of fun!
