The five Simpsons lines I've uttered most: 5) Me fail English? That's unpossible! 4) My cat's breath smells like cat food. 3) Sleep! There's where I'm a Viking! 2) All work and no play make Homer something something. AND

Is there a definition for “the Canadian Encyclopedia” that I don’t know that would be accurate here?

Screenshot of a Google AI “answer” to a search for “bagged milk” that says, in part, “It is popular in parts of The Canadian Encyclopedia like Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes”

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

From Superman/Shazam: First Thunder. Four panels. In the first, a young boy is seen standing in the wisps of smoke from a bolt of lightning. He says “My name’s Billy Batson”. In panel two, in closeup, he says “But maybe it’s too dangerous to be Billy Batson anymore”. Panel 3 shows Billy’s POV of Superman, standing over him and looking down. In the last panel, the big Blue Boy Scout asks, “Who did this to you?”

Classic, possibly over-used screenshot of Facebook's reporting interface asking "What's going on?", with a radio button selector on "I'm in this photo and I don't like it"

The enshittification of Google continues. I threw in the text of an SMS I got from a random, unknown number to see if anyone else had posted anything about the wording and... well....

Screenshot of a Google response. Text entry box reads, in quotes, "can i take up a little of your time tomorrow" and Google's AI responded:

I'm entirely at your disposal! Since I'm an AI, I don't have a schedule to manage—you can drop your questions, tasks, or projects on me whenever you're ready.

Just let me know what you'd like to work on!

Little excessive there, San Jose. Dial it back just a smidge?

Four-panel cartoon. In the first panel, a woman is emptying a cat's litter box. In the second panel, the cat is looking at the woman suspiciously. In the third panel, the harried-looking woman asks "WHAT". In the fourth panel, eyes narrowed, the cat asks "WHY DO YOU NEED ALL THIS POO"

Or when it’s just shit-ass snarky?

I do find it just a little creepy when Duolingo uses my actual name in its buttons.

* Lwaxana Troi has entered the chat *

From an early episode of Star Trek: TNG, we see Lwaxana Troi on the ship's main view screen. She's introducing herself as "Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed".

They're trolling us by calling it "Star Wars Themed", aren't they?

Fictional band that is not Spinal Tap.

The Folksmen, a folk music band from the mockumentary "A Mighty Wind". L to R, we have Mark Shubb (Harry Shearer) on stand-up bass, Jerry Palter (Michael McKean) on guitar, and Alan Barrows (Christopher Guest) on banjo.

I have reminded me how alone I am in my enjoyment of Jerry Bruckheimer’s 2004 “King Arthur” *sigh*

Clive Owen and Kiera Knightley in a scene from “King Arthur”. Owen, as Arthur, stands in Roman-style armor, pointing a sword at someone off-screen to the left. Knightley, as the Pictish princess Guinevere, stands beside him.

Sometimes, it's almost amusing.

QT with a ship that’s not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

From the movie “Silent Running” (1972), the Valley Forge and one of her sister ships float in space, carrying the forests of Earth under protective domes.

This is how I access Bluesky

In a scene from the movie "WarGames", David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) sits at a terminal with Jennifer Mack (Ally Sheedy) looking over his shoulder. To his left, you can see two 8" IMSAI disk drives sitting underneath an IMSAI 8080 computer.

You can almost *hear* the sigh.

Screenshot of a footnote from a ruling on a preliminary injunction issued in CAIR v DeSantis reading, in part, "It also pains this Court to have to point out that not all Muslims are terrorists."

Screenshot of the Facebook "report abuse" page. The question is "What's going on?", and the options are "It's annoying or not interesting", "I think it shouldn't be on Facebook", "It's spam", and "I'm in this photo and I don't like it", which has been selected via radio button.

Post the first game you completed. I definitely eliminated all the Zylons on Cadet and Pilot difficulties.
