Seasonal Godzilla Violence

Fascism is here and many of the country's biggest politicians, corporations, news orgs, and institutions have embraced it. But it's still weak and people hate it. Our greatest strength is each other. Find your people in your local communities, stick up for everyone, and learn to say no.

the secret is revealed in the alt text if anyone's truly dying but I understand the gamesmanship and wish you every happiness

While I go look for this post, if you didn't know I made these and want to see more, here's the ones from East: bsky.app/profile/stri...

A spooky looking man whose hair is shaved all around the front and middle of his skull, but has left plenty of brown hair, including a long rat-tail, around the back of his head, stares out from behind a pillar. "PLEASE STEAL THIS SIGN. Nothing will happen as a direct result." Further down: "Nothing at all." At the bottom: "Go on, try it."

A man who looks a little stressed watering a lawn. He's smiling but his eyes don't match the smile. Script text reads: "Are you tired of your family *not* being pleased?"

A heavily filtered image of an asphalt road stretching into the far distance, cumulus clouds hanging low over the horizon. Title: "On What to Do With the Time That is Given Us: Our greatest strength is each other. Find your people in your local community. Stick up for everyone. Use the power you have to make the difference you can. Learn to say no. Talk to people IRL about the things that matter to you. It's OK to be late as long as you show up. Whatever the "right" choice is, making one is always better than doing nothing."

(2/2) This third one ("What to Do") is heavily lifted from a post by @gregpak.net which I will go find and link below. I had a much more angry / maudlin idea before I saw his post and realized it's better to give people something to DO rather than a thing to be mad at.

Banner advertising "Divorced Vacations by Joan." Blue to purple gradient background, bright orange / salmon / mauve / teal accents. Very 90s. Images of people on vacation, and being alone or weirdly near each other, if not together. "Come wed or come alone, it doesn't matter: You'll wish you'd spent your entire life with our handsome waiters!" At the bottom is a man holding a tray with two glasses and a wine bottle. He looks very 90s, but not especially heartbreaking. He seems nice!

Banner that appears to just be two horses grazing in midsummer beige-brown grass. In the finest possible contrast (barely visible) near the top, the words "hey buddy, did you eat lunch yet"

White banner with black text and barely any graphics; there is one image with someone apparently wearing a motorcycle helmet and a dental apparatus keeping their mouth open. "MOUTHFEEL, from the creators of 3D ASMR. A new way to experience virtual reality. Have you ever seen but want taste? and but it's in computer? Well, that's what we do. Mouths were made for fillin and we've got all the fixins. Introducing Mouthfeel: "I gotta know." A huge arrow points to a QR that links to the wikipedia page for Michael Jordan's "stop it, get some help" meme.

A Rider Alert banner for PAX Metro Transit, in blue, black, and white. "For the next two stops, this train will be a bus. It will then briefly be a T-Rex, a robot, and a cat. Regular service will resume at 7th Avenue."

PAX West 2025 Goof Banners (1/2) - I took forever posting these because I already posted them on the Club PA Patreon as well as a whole behind-the-scenes podcast about each of the designs.

If you ever wanted to get yourself drawn morphing into an obscure cartoon character, it's your lucky day

nearly a century later, the famous Odessa Steps sequence from Battleship Potemkin is still being referenced by clumsy mothers everywhere

I love how Seattle normalizes leaving a truly insulting amount of distance between vehicles in parallel parking. It's like everyone wants to be sure you can fit a Vespa lengthwise twixt each car

Is it time to get lightly toasted as a means to counteract overcaffeination? Yeah! Yeah that'll do it! Yeah!!!

We got it mostly finished in the last 10 seconds or so. Happy Halloween!!!

Meet your friend in the park in your WORMFEST SWEATER

Wormfest 1993 is back online!

there is just so much wasted money in this industry that is supposedly trying to fight a funding crisis

Brooklyn, 1980. A kind young man from Japan offers Mario to adapt his life's story into video games. The old man's only request is that his wife gets to be a Princess, as she should be.

Uncle Joey from Full House

This man? Not actually related to the Tanners at all, yet they call him "Uncle Joey"

i hope the economy doesn't collapse before these shirts are done

Did you know that street trees can reduce ambient temperatures by as much as 15°F (~8°C) and save up to 60% in street resurfacing costs?

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Waymo in talks to start testing self-driving taxis in Australia A Transport NSW spokesperson confirmed Waymo has been in contact, with the Google-linked autonomous taxi company having appointed local lobbyists.

sydney friends: it is your solemn duty to put a traffic cone on the bonnet of every single one of these things

Inktober Day 27 - Onion

The official home of the Python Programming Language

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...
🧵

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.
