Michael Pena as "Luis" in the Ant-Man series. His monologues are the best part of the franchise.

A screenshot of this skeet. Mr. Moviefone Man has posted "If you see this post, please interact with it. Quote, reply, repost, whatever you see fit." The screenshot has been annotated with green checkmarks on "please interact with it", "reply", "like", and "whatever you see fit", because this post (which contains the checked screenshot) constitutes an interaction, a reply, and whatever I see fit. In addition, the author of this post liked the original skeet.

I'm sorry, but you have to eat this when it's hot

An apple dumpling sitting in a small cast-iron pan with a melty blob of ice cream nearby. The ice cream is melty because the delicious fruit is hot.

Do you have a moment to hear the gospel of our lord and savior, standardized square freezer containers? Standardize on 1-2 designs and you'll never worry about lid matching again. Plus square designs never leap off the shelf of the fridge at you when someone pushes another container onto the shelf.

Here's the palette. "12 bits" refers to expressing 16x less granularity than typical 24-bit color - simple clunky knobs for color, evenly spaced.

Kate's 12-bit rainbow palette, which uses colors evenly spaced in luminance, and reduces the color space from 24 bits (8 each of R, G, and B) to 12 bits (4 bits each of R,G,B) which means the color numbers are all single hex characters.

I would bring this shit with me on every road trip and *fill* it with contextually useful googling that I'd done in advance. "Best BBQ in Memphis", "scenic vista Galax", etc. -- I'd copy it into a dense scrawl on graph paper, alongside the maps, and I'd be R2D2 for the driver.

A metal map clipboard. It has storage for multiple sheets of graph paper, legal paper, and a clipboard on top for holding the current map sheet(s) that the driver wants the navigator to have in context.

How dare I stop the petting before the petting is done?? #wingnut #greyhound

A greyhound is snarling ferociously at a human who thinks it’s funny to pet the greyhound just a little bit, and then stop before the pets are complete. The ferocious snarl looks a little bit like cuddly laughter because the dog is a benevolent master.

The "say the line bart" meme, but he is dejectedly telling all tubes to fire for effect. He's tired. He's so, so tired. He can't even savor his victory.

A bald guy (right) wearing a purple necktie and charcoal suit has landed a total babe, his wife (left), whose hair is blonde-fading-to-blue, to match her blue lace dress, which she looks great in.

They're both smiling a lot, because they've got a pretty good thing going.

Simpsons-ass cloud formation making me hear strings & woodwinds

A layer of fluffy clouds against a perfectly blue June sky. Danny Elfman’s orchestra can be heard warming up as the choral voices sing the opening lyric.

The Doctor whispers to an aide, “don’t you think she looks tired?” which is sufficient to start a spiral of self doubt and end Harriet Jones’s political career. He doesn’t even critique her clothes… can you imagine?!

"Fish Racer" by Sweeneypen

A leather-clad rider clenches their knees around the midsection of an enormous fish. The rider is wearing goggles, leather armor, a backpack, and heavy boots; they and the riding tack are penned in navy ink. The fish and the rider's fish-shaped hood or helmet are both penned in a tomato orange.

The art is called "Fish Racer" by Sweeneypen. The artist's store is at https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/sweeneypen/ and prints are available.

Trinity, in a latex catsuit and black shades, stands on the rooftop of the building that she and Neo are invading. The image is heavily foreshortened from a fisheye effect and tinted pale green. She brandishes Garfield the Cat in her right hand, who in turn brandishes a Beretta 84F in his right paw. Just out of frame an Agent runs out of time to be surprised.

Absolutely. I understand the median voter has room in their head for two, maybe three, candidates. Name recognition, small budgets, niche policies, and other stupidity are going to make 45 of those 50 candidates irrelevant. But the 5% of voters with strong policy preferences will move the needle...

XKCD comic where two geochemists reassure themselves that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine, and one or two feldspars. And quartz, of course. The caption below points out that even when experts try to compensate for it, they still wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field.

I hope this email finds you [1st surfer], or failing that, at least [2nd surfer].

Three surfers are paddling over a large (~30-foot / 10m) wave. The surfer at the top of the wave appears to have cleared the crest already. The surfer in blue, below him, will likely be able to push the nose of his board down and go through the breaking crest. A third surfer at the bottom of the image is still mostly horizontal and is either going to successfully "duck dive" through the base of the wave, or he is taking a very short and exciting ride back to shore, the first portion of which will be done backwards.

Janet and Michael are in the Good Place front office. Michael is asking Janet to get him an audio device, and not a monitor.
JANET: A monitor? I don't understand.
MICHAEL: I want to play audio through my speakers. Is that what you have, or do you have a monitor?
JANET: I have audio for your existing working speakers, and not an HDMI monitor.
MICHAEL: Excellent. Please get me that audio device.
<JANET hands MICHAEL the Win10 Properties dialogue for "NVIDIA High Definition Audio", on the HDMI port>

"Ready", by Cosimo Galuzzi. A hovering red headless human torso, smooth and featureless, points its toes and reaches out with its hands, backlit by an enormous orange circle - a sunset? a moon? - while a paler orange pointed dodecahedron with 12 pyramidal spikes hangs in the air above its neck, centered in the orange glow. Fork-tailed terns fly across the scene from left to right.

Anyone who wants to be a hero can just order them right off the ol' onlines.

Amazon search results for "Trump I Did That sticker" show a dizzying variety of cheap weatherproof stickers so that you can post it on like, something a liberal likes, to make them angry, idk, definitely don't vandalize a gas pump or get the Discord subpoena'd.

DPRK's "Manbang" device is a set-top box that DPRK workers abroad are encouraged to carry with them, so they can watch their daily dose of propaganda. In the US, we're just going to push it straight to the mandatory app on all gov't phones.

Screenshot from the Wikipedia article about "Manbang" detailing how DPRK Mangbang users "may also find political information regarding the Supreme Leader and the Juche ideology". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manbang

Screenshot from an article describing the Trump White House's efforts to deploy a mandatory app to all government phones, which includes "a feed of social media posts from White House accounts and the president", and "videos and messaging that are overtly political or directly related to campaigns," which Federal workers are forbidden from engaging with on the clock.

Star Trek: TNG title card which reads,
"Nobody except the National Hurricane Center should be involved in tropical storm naming, especially for-profit companies who use those names for SEO and revenue generation and skew their naming criteria based on media markets."

Handles weird ASCII pretty well!

A Star Trek: TNG title card that reads "the fucking holodeck again?" except I've used ASCII text to redact the word "fucking". Since you are reading the Alt text and/or using a screen reader, I've saved you the pain of hearing the ASCII character name read out loud, and instead subjected you to a lengthy description of how I've courteously saved you from time-wasting nonsense about ASCII.

I love me an osprey! The diving and hauling back prey are just completely amazing; I could watch them circling & diving into the ocean all day.

An osprey hauling its catch up out of the water, holding the fish head-forward to minimize aerodynamic drag.

An osprey about to break the surface of the water. Wings are drawn back, perpendicular to the water's surface for a braking entry, talons forward ahead of the face so the osprey can see what it's grabbing and break the surface with something besides its face. Whatever fish is down there is going to have a very exciting next few minutes.

The prosecution rests, Your Honor. Mike Love continues to be a schmuck and post-Wilson "B▓▓ch B▓▓s" are pretenders to the throne, cheap knock-offs, trading on the good name that the original artists built over decades.

Screenshot from the Wikipedia article about Kokomo, which states that "when [Brian Wilson] first heard the song on the radio, he didn't even recognize it as a Beach Boys tune."
