[While having a discussion about cockfighting.]
Stephen Fry: Er, it says here that a good cocker would think nothing of cleaning his cock's wounded head by sticking it in his mouth and sucking it clean.
Alan Davies: Yeah.
Clive Anderson: Yes...
Phill Jupitus: You're watching QI for the Straight Guy.

Looks good! Needs an icon.

A screenshot of tabs pinned to a chrome browser. Visible from left to right are icons for Bluesky, Prequel, Godslave, a generic webpage symbol for the current page, which appears to be Nails the Barbarian, NeedleKnight, Kill Six Billion Demons, A grey cube indicating jephjaques.com where Questionable Content would normally be if the website hadn't been attacked, Dumpling the Eternal, Lies Within, and Wondermark

Good work, you inspired me to spend like fifteen minutes poorly tracing and compositing a meme.

An image composed in MS Paint showing Amy Rose on Godzilla's Shoulder. Amy says, "It looks like we're gonna have to kill this guy, Godzilla." Godzilla roars, and in parenthesis it says, "Damn."

A three part meme poorly cut together in MS Paint. First panel says, "How I think I look" and has a picture of a black wolf in a green field. Second panel says, "How everyone else thinks I look" and has a picture of a black bunny in a bunch of ferns. Third panel says, "How I actually look" and is a picture of a black bunny harvestman, Metagryne bicolumnata, a type of arachnid often called Daddy Longlegs. It is on a leaf and about the size of an adult human thumbnail.

The Uncomfortable Truth
The company that sells AI coding tools cannot build a quality product with its own AI coding tools. The percentages were always the pitch, not the product. 80. 90. 95. 100. Nobody asked what 100% actually produces until the source code answered for them.

Reminds me of an old favorite. Pure and simple.

Text reading, "By: Nael, Grade 1
The tiger
He destroyed his cage
Yes
YES
The tiger is out"
Against a white background with blue lines to simulate ruled paper used in classrooms.

Any member of congress that fails to fund the post office is derelict in their constitutional duty and deserves not only legal penalties, but also Civil liability for the damages they will cause to each household in the US.

Your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist. Now, you may be unsurprised to learn that I don't save a lot of pictures of celebrities. It was either this or a picture of Weird Al I took in person in 2016. Probably Al would be a better therapist, but I think Alfred could do it if he tried.

I found this, frankly, shocking.

A screenshot of the @merriam-webster.com post which says to, "Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026." The word in the screenshot is "galvanic." Which the Cambridge dictionary defines as an adjective synonymous with, "Powerful," very sudden or noticeable, or causing shock, action, or excitement. It goes on to say that it has more specialized use in electronics, meaning, "Relating to or involving electric current." The Cambridge Dictionary fails to mention most scientifically accurate uses of "Galvanic" or "Galvanism," but I still found it funnier to use.

Most important part of the article.

A screenshot from the article. "Zion Oil and gas, a penny stock that as of September had no revenue from drilling, said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing last week that it would require shareholders to resolve disputes through arbitration rather than court," is the text displayed. A red underline has been added under, "no revenue from drilling."

Comic Books were very formative to my early reading, but I'll skip them here. Red Planet was an early one. I picked it up because I couldn't wait for the next episode of the cartoon special. Also "Have Space Suit, Will Travel," was an early favorite. Plus the "My Teacher is an Alien" series.

The front cover on Robert A Heinlein's novel Red Planet. This version was unabridged and has a bubble that says, "The entire, uncut novel!" The image shows a brownish tan desert backdrop behind a huge plantlike formation made of overlain purple and green striped leaves. Atop the formation a young man in a strange space suit holds a fuzzy green alien alien aloft with one of its eyestalks facing the viewer.

You've just reminded me of my favorite ever protective product case. I had this in green for my DS Lite.

A Nerf branded protective case for a Nintendo DS handheld gaming system. This one is purple, and looks old and well loved.

Finally took a moment to hang up my headphone stand. It looks great and it's right in arms' reach, and I'm range of the charging cable.

A headphone stand that looks like a crow from the webcomic "Crow Time" is mounted on the wall. Please ignore the audio interface for my guitar balanced precariously on my network switch. There is a tiny plastic figurine of a tiger and a carving of a turtle made from a piece of a geode.

I forget which film it was specifically, I remember the plot was that they wanted to make a, uh, "film."

A still image from an old Cheech and Chong film. Cheech Marin is wearing an oversized green tank top that hangs down almost to his knees. On the shirt in red, possibly in spray paint, E. T. has been written on his shirt, and a crude drawing of three testicles hangs just low enough to fully hide his crotch. He wears a black beanie with spring-mounted antenna or "dealie boppers" on top and holds his hands half extended as if to indicate he is not a man but a creature to be shocked by or frightened of, perhaps even intrigued by.

If you had to pay the actual cost of the tool you were using instead of the current advertising/loss leader cost, you wouldn't be able to afford it. The dataset it was made out of wasn't clean, it's an unacceptable resource hog, and they aren't turning a profit on it.

A graphic listing ethical problems of LLM models advertised as "AI." The list includes "Biases and Hallucinations," "Homogeneity and Misrepresentation of language/culture," "Harmful and violent content," "Private information," "Copyright Infringement," "Exploitation of underpaid workers," "Erosion of rich human practices," "Tons of carbon emissions," "Huge quantities of energy and water consumption," "Rare metals for manufacturing hardware," among others.

Quote with a title screen that's iconic to you

$A frame from the title screen of Super Mario World. A small Mario is riding Yoshi. The pair are descending on a green Koopa's back while Yoshi's tongue lashes at the open air. Ahead of them, a red koopa plots revenge and a blue koopa is unaware of the impending fracas.$
