A digital cartoon-style illustration shows a close-up view of several red baseball caps with the phrase “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” written in bold yellow letters. The caps are arranged on wooden shelves, and each one has a visible rectangular tag that says “MADE IN CHINA.” A large price sign is placed in front of the central cap. The sign shows the original price “$50.00” crossed out and a new price “$103.00” written in large black text. The image uses warm tones like red, orange, and brown, and has bold outlines and shading.

A chimpanzee with a thoughtful expression, hands touching its face, against a dark background. Bold white text on the left reads: “If you say ‘fuck off’ backwards it still says ‘fuck off’ except it’s in a Scottish accent.”

The image is a two-panel meme using characters from the animated show “Invincible.” In the top panel, a yellow fist labeled “It’s Jif!” is punching towards a stern-looking man. In the bottom panel, the man remains unfazed and responds with text that reads, “It’s ‘Graphics Interchange Format’ not ‘Jraphics Interchange Format.’”

The image is a cartoon featuring a sign that reads “Bauhaus Retirement Home.” Below the sign, an elderly person with glasses and a sweater is using a minimalist walker designed in a geometric, Bauhaus style.

Common-sense is so uncommon these days, it’s become a misnomer.

What’s wrong with following many accounts? I love getting a large variety of content from many interesting people. Bluesky starter packs make it easy to find people worth following within my many interests.

What made you think I mass-unfollow. I’ve done no such thing 🤔

Bluesky isn’t about escaping Musk or MAGA, it’s about reclaiming control. Control over your own feed algorithms, your own information diet. To let you block trolls, bigots, and bad-faith actors on your own terms. It’s here to let you curate your own online experience, and I’m here for it! ✊

Yes, 2-4 times a year. They go from Monday to Friday (first and lasts day being travel days)

I find them very useful. We are fully remote, so it’s a very good way to build stronger relationships within the team, and to get alignment around vision snd path forward.

I normally don’t post AI art here.

But I just saw this, and it was so eerie and absolutely stunning (in a dreamy way) that I had to share it

At the end of day, don’t we all just want a house filled with plants that we somehow remember to water?

Fill your life with people who:
- stop to pick up random litter
- tip generously
- frequent farmers’ markets
- return their shopping carts
- support their library
- are kind and patient with kids
- let others merge
- find joy in the little things

Elon’s positioned himself to take over Trump’s cult when Trump is dropped. MAGAts and Trump were simply useful-idiots who were used to help a small group of tech billionaires take power. Thiel’s groomed plant: JD Vance will become president. Elon will take the cult. Mark my word 😅

A pixel art illustration of a retro-style coffee cup placed on a grassy terrain in a colorful 8-bit gaming environment. The cup is simple yet vibrant, with steam rising from it, against a pixelated blue sky background. The design is minimalistic, with no badges, text, or scoring indicators, focusing solely on the coffee cup and its surroundings.

They did. It’s called forgettucine.

It makes you forget what you were trying to remember… which helps you remember that you forget stuff a lot… something that you had completely forgotten about.

A while back, I was messing around with giving animated gifs some depth. I clipped the top edge to create a pop out illusion, and then threw in some blurring to simulate fast focus to make the effect stronger.

A zoomed in image displaying the mac mouse arrow cursor with a red grid lines overlayed over it, so that it line up with the arrows end. But this makes it very clear that the cursor is completely asymmetrical to a point or extreme discomfort.
