the 18yo bought me the Blackwing Audition Pack and I am 🥹 iykyk

An elegant display box showcasing four high-quality pencils by Blackwing; black, white, grey, brown from top to bottom (respectively the Matte, Pearl, 602, and Natural by name, in order of increasing graphite hardness).

On the left side of the box is the infamous one-step long point Blackwing sharpener (in matte black aluminum), and on the right is a tip guard (ibid.)

Cars in the foreground are in water up to their axles and cars in the distance are in water up to their windows.

There is a car in water up to its windows, and a van up to the top of its door.

Firefighters are conducting a rescue from an overpass with two long ladders that trapped people are climbing to get out.

graphic design is my passion

a photo of a bottle of Aperol with the word "Aperol" blacked out poorly by hand and overwritten with "Adderall". The overwritten word is in the wrong font and not aligned with the label on the bottle.

screenshot of google search result for the question "how long did it take to pay off montreal's olympic stadium"

the answer reads:
"It took exactly 30 years to pay off the debt for Montreal's Olympic Stadium. The final payment was made in November 2006, leaving taxpayers with a staggering final bill of approximately $1.47 billion to $1.61 billion.
The runaway costs earned the venue the infamous nickname the "Big Owe". Originally projected to cost around $134 million, the spiraling expenses were [...]"

The "Sickos" meme:

A black and white cartoon depiction of a man seen from the waist up through a 6-pane window (3 rows, 2 columns).

He is outside, looking in with his hands against the window (the night sky and a crescent moon are visible behind him).

He is wearing a long-sleeved black shirt with the word "SICKOS" on the front, has stubble, and a somewhat maniacal look on his face.

A speech bubble shows that he is saying "YES...HA HA HA...YES!" (the second "yes" is underlined) Somehow the speech bubble is on the inside of the window.

whoa rip to a real one; my first real job was on the data science team at Ask

Screenshot of Ask.com home page, taken May 2, 2026, with a farewell message from Ask, which closed operations on May 1. The message reads:

"""

"I genuinely believe that literacy will become like children in the developed, English speaking world learning CURSIVE. It won't happen.

Humans have been speaking, sharing information, and coordinating verbally, for hundreds of millenia. Literacy is a temporary, flash-in-the-pan phenomenon.

cogsci spotted Ob outdex (h/t rawski)

An image parodying a Facebook post from The Onion. There is an image of a man and woman sitting at a bar with drinks. Above the image is a quote meant to be attributed to one of the people in the image (probably the man).

The quote reads:

"So Marr defines this distinction between three levels of analysis of any cognitive information-processing system. At the computational level..."

And below the image is a "fake" (in the sense of parody) Onion headline.

The headline reads:

A young mixed-sex couple. The woman has her right arm around the man's neck and appears to be talking loudly near his ear. She is pointing or gesticulating with her left arm. His face makes it look like he wishes he were somewhere else.

It's the Girl Explaining (aka Bro Girl) meme.
