Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems.

A cartoon with customs agents strip-searching a white businessman, while foreign terrorists with guns and bombs pass through unimpeded. Is this cartoon: (A) Racist; (B) Satirical; (C) Not Funny; (D) Weirdly anticipatory of the TSA, which did not exist at the time of the cartoon’s making; (E) All of the above?

Okay bear with me. My amazing friend Robyn (@haykebyr.bsky.social) did this amazing image based on my stupid ass joke. It's Miss Piggy photoshopped into some Sister of Battle armour, with the white bob haircut and a fleur de lys tattoo on her cheek and everything. Except she's got pink satin gloves on. The caption is "In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future there is Only Moi" because that's the whole joke. Thank you.

Inside you there are two wolves. One is active, the other one is on hot standby and becomes active if the first one fails or is taken down for maintenance. Add more wolves as necessary for increased redundancy load balancing. A quorum badger can be added for environments with multiple active wolves.

Postcard with illustration recreating famous seated portrait of Emily Dickinson but it’s Nancy. Her arm rests on a book of Sluggo Comics

Postcard with illustration recreating famous seated portrait of Emily Dickinson but it’s Nancy. Her arm rests on a book of Sluggo Comics

Back text: Beloved poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), drawn in the style of cartoonist Ernie Bushmiller (1905-1982). The transformation of Emily Dickinson to Bushmiller's fictional "Nancy" character perhaps demonstrates for some reductionism to the ridiculous, yet both creators have attracted deeply immersive examinations of their respective work, sometimes even cultish in nature. And an unresolved question for literary scholars remains: Who was the "Sluggo" in Emily's life?

Still from David Lynch's 1984 Dune film showing three characters in desert stillsuits. From left to right: Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan), Stilgar (Everett McGill), and Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart). Stilgar is speaking with intensity while Paul looks on and Gurney stands to the right. White subtitles at the bottom read: "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen."
