Bodycam attached to a motorcycle jacket.

It turns out that a normal human can obtain a police-grade bodycam.

Trashcan with weird art (fish person carrying an umbrella), Sharpie graffiti over the top with “T-Girl Mafia.”

"If we prosecute the rich white men redacted in the Epstein files, the entire system will collapse."

My dude. It seems like, at a minimum, the justice system has ALREADY collapsed.

If, in his service aboard The Enterprise, Jean-Luc makes a fatally-bad choice, would you say he was hoisted by his own Picard?

"A family of trees wanting to be haunted."

Small cloud-shaped piece of plastic with smiley face, abandoned on wet pavement.

At the UPS store today, I watched someone get increasingly adamant that their package is perfectly acceptable to ship. A slightly crumpled reused cardboard box with breathing holes and a yellow sticker saying "LIVE BIRD."

It took almost a week to mirror, process, and generate gallery thumbnails, but Epstein Data Sets 9–12 are now on the mirror. That is A LOT of data.

Can the ref just blow the starting whistle on this Civil War already? The anticipation and anxiety are killing me.

After threatening to shoot himself on live television, instead he launches into an angry televised rant, which turns out to be a huge ratings boost for the UBS network. This stunt allows ambitious producer Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) to develop even more outrageous programming, a concept that she takes to unsettling extremes. CREDITS: TM & © Warner Bros.

Remember that time when words had meaning?

Candy box with a lot of missing chocolates (and their paper cups).

When you eat a piece of chocolate from the assortment box, do you remove the paper cup or leave it be? Why?

Is a Gantt chart in a completely different format still a Gantt chart?

Yep, my first instinct would be a freshly imaged Raspberry Pi server (no X Windows), non-privileged account, with ethernet disconnected. But on my walk, it occurred to me there could be more specialized tools/setups out there.

Urban sidewalk, discarded flash drive and candy wrapper.

Mystery thumb drive. No, I didn't take it. But now I'm left wondering what the safest way is to inspect something that might be a Rubber Ducky.

I'm concerned that Trump is going to proclaim "learn to speak American!" and sign an executive order barring any government agency from offering their website, phone system, or forms in any language but English.

The silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload.

Trump, oil coming from his nose in a shape like a Hitler mustache

As described

New blazer. Secretly level 2 motorcycle armor.

Remember when the bot problem on Twitter was just spambots? Before "the bots are coming from inside the house" with Grok and non-consensual underage nudity?

I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby, come with me Friday, baby, don't say maybe.

Slide deck: You are free to interpret the nature of rice however you wish.

Rice.

The sense of accomplishment that arises from cracking a walnut into two perfect hemispheres.

Sliced up turnip on a cutting board.

I feel like the turnip is one of those mythical vegetables never seen outside of Depression-Era media and Super Mario 2.
