A picture of an orange suicide cord with the following text:

You heard there was a secret cord
That you could use to meet the Lord
(Cause you don't care bout power safety, do yah?)

Code as if your children will have to maintain it...

An exchange from the bad place:
Anna Bass (@venite): "A friend learned COBOL and received a codebase where the last change was done in the 90s... by. his. mum.
nobody (@imaguid): "that's not how inheritance is supposed to work in programming"

Sisyphus is rolling a boulder towards the Grand Hilbert Hotel. The hotel has an infinite number of rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accommodate him or his boulder.

If you choose to divert him, his boulder will destroy the Ship of Theseus. But the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship.

Is Sisyphus happy?

The dude from the Good Place has never been more stressed out in his life.

The only pic I can find is of the kitchen... which in addition to the issues already noted, it very oddly laid out.

The wrecked kitchen of a very strange house. Part of the ceiling is caved in. Trash litters the floor and counters. There is what appears to be an oven in a central pedestal facing away from the counters.

Apparently you can buy a lament configuration on FB...

A FB ad for what is transparently a Lament Configuration from an outfit calling itself the Higher Balance Institute. Text is as follows:

The 20th Anniversary Cube from Higher Balance commemorates two decades of extraordinary teachings, knowledge, and awakening experiences. At the base level it is the most affordable Cube ever produced without compromising a trace of quality.

What things we have to show you... (note: not actual text, just the clearest interpretation)

Coming soon from Bad Dragon

A picture of a proposed skyscraper in Dubai, posted on the Bad Place by @FalconryFinance. The text of the tweet says "Thanks to the maker." and the text on the image says "Dubai unveils plans for $9 billion gold-plated diamond-encrusted skyscraper".

The rendered skyscraper is gold colored, tapered at the tip, has a visible vein, and is ribbed for God's pleasure.

I think this one truly deserves the name skeet.

A map of the Gulf of Mexico relabeled the Gulf of C.U.M., labeled with arrows to make it clear that's an acronym for the three countries that border the Gulf (Cuba, United States, and Mexico).

She is such an ignorant twit and a shame to her family... Prior to the US giving up the Panama Canal zone, it was a more or less continuous geopolitical flashpoint. Since the US gave it up in 1979... it's been a low drama piece of major international infrastructure, as it should be.
