This seems like an unfortunate design choice

A row of windows taken from a roughly straight on angle. A text decal reads "UBC Life". The f is in a recessed window.

The same windows, photographed from an angle. The f is now invisible due to being set back, leaving the text "UBC Lie"

Ok so that's actually complicated

Matthew Garrett@mjg59· 6d

The more I think about it, the more surprised I am that nobody has actually done this yet

Portion of an Achewood comic.

Nice Pete: [[thought]] I see those fancy California boys think I am of low mind. Oh if they knew the house I have spent with my van and my IEEE member directory.

[[Nice Pete cocks his head to one side.]] Nice Pete: [[thought]] FOOLS! I have invented a USB device which can collect votes from the Internet and drive a knife through your heart!

[[Nice Pete raises his hands.]] Nice Pete: I AM THE FATHER OF MODERN DEATH! I HAVE OPENED A NEW CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF MURDER! THEY CALL ME CRAZY, BUT THEY CAN'T CALL ME GUILTY! NOTE WITH MILLIONS OF HANDS ON THE BLADE!

Sounds like that's going to be an extremely long first speech

Fucking incredible

A three panel tapestry in the style of the bayeux tapestry, but referencing the Softbank goose value slides. First panel is a goose with three golden eggs in front of it titled "Goose was not valued". 2nd panel is a basket titled "Eggs do not lay eggs". Third panel is a goose filled with medieval looking little guys titled "The true source of value: inside the goose".

The first two panels included small pictures beneath of a goose holding a knife. The third panel contains a small picture of a spider.

Eerily prescient Achewood (from achewood.com/2007/10/12/t...)

Screenshot of text reading:

"Kevin Spacey is probably a good guy, but it makes me nervous that he might have secrets"

Someone please explain this to me is this just "Anything that isn't obviously coded right wing must be left wing"? (from www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...)

Screenshot of text reading:

"Investigators are considering whether leftwing, anarchist and single-issue terrorism (LASIT) played a role on the suspect's alleged motivation, but are keeping an open mind as new material emerges"

We have strayed so far from God's light

A Buzzball spherical ring pull cocktail with cover art resembling a football and "ENG" printed on it. The ball is white and the text red, representing England's flag colours. The flavour is described as "Pip pip punch" and descriptive text describes it as a lemon tea cocktail.

Goodnight all

This is the good stuff (please ignore the weird internal reflection artifacts)

Rainbow lasers illuminating a cloudy sky over San Francisco, above local city buildings. The lower right of the picture contains weird purple reflections from inside the room.

This feels weirdly judgemental

A captcha titled "Click on every object built to produce music". The pictures include two violins, a cymbal, a desert, what looks like a fucked up dog lying on grass, and four helicopters

Matthew Garrett@mjg59· May 25

What the fuck did I just read

Screenshot of text reading:

"Directions are according to traditional Montreal map where downtown (example, rue Sherbrooke) is east-west, with Mont-Royal to the north and the river to the south. "North" on the Victoria bridge is actually south-west."

Thanks to @aanand.style for providing the correct title

Deep Space 9 title slide, with the episode title "Big Shoes"

A title screen for a Deep Space 9 episode. The title is "O'Brien's shoes are too big"

These geese give absolutely zero fucks about loud fast cars passing by, which makes me desperately want an Untitled Goose Game expansion in which it's a lovely morning in the pitlane, and you are a horrible goose.

The inside of the first turn at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. The grassy area contains multiple geese who appear entirely unconcerned by the two bright yellow Formula Two cars passing them at high speed.

It's been years, but finally got around to hanging this

No, this is totally normal

Screenshot of text reading:

"Speaking to journalists as he arrived at the count, Goodwin blamed his loss on “a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives” he said had “come together to dominate the constituency”.

He accused the Green party of “playing sectarian politics,” in part by writing to constituents in Urdu: “This kind of campaign, in different languages appealing to specific groups based on their characteristics, is unacceptable in modern Britain”.

Asked whether he was claiming the result was illegitimate, he did not respond as he was whisked away."

Matthew Garrett@mjg59· Feb 15

I'm not the only one who finds this unsettling, right?

A hearse. In the window is a plastic gravestone with the text "See you soon"*

Matthew Garrett@mjg59· Jan 31

The fucking state of this

Matthew Garrett@mjg59· Jan 29

This graph is incredible. By which I mean it is not credible. Thanks Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi (from singulargrit.substack.com/p/the-archit...)
