A smiling amorphous cartoon blob gleefully riding a bicycle.
It has swept back handlebars and the back tire is kicking up a modest cloud of dust.

if you suspect i'm flirting with you, please know that i unequivocally think you're cute, but am almost certainly being open and effusive rather than amorous.

The 4K remasters of Aliens & True Lies are bafflingly bad, ruined by AI. “You could argue that it’s impressive the AI cleans up such old footage this well. You could also argue that it looks like creepy, uncanny, digital shit.” https://kottke.org/24/06/ai-can-ruin-movies-now-too

Still image. Restoration of Ecce Homo (García Martínez and Giménez), a largely unknown fresco of christ crowned with thorns. It is now notorious for the restoration attempt, shown side by side with the starting point. The restoration has turned the face into vast swathes of hot and cold browns, and very simple features, essentially unrecognizable.

    I upgraded infosec.exchange and infosec.space to the latest glitch. I don't think it has any new features, just a thundering herd of backend changes - let me know if you see anything odd. well, more odd than normal

    Making this compilation was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.

    The music is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.

    The danger is to the booty, and it can clap.

    Trump sleeping in the trial makes a lot of sense when you consider how unpleasant it is to hear things you just don't like, even if they are true... like the jury he might have been convinced to some degree of his own guilt if he paid too much attention. Some deep part of his mind that protects his ego over all things allowed him to simply fall unconscious so as not to hear or see things that might upset the fiction of his own self image.

    Mirrors are not always pleasant things for some of us.

    Still image. Light seaspray-color background. Picture of an extremely conventional looking person with coifed medium length hair, wide smile that doesn't reach their eyes, slightly shaggy short beard and moustache. “Hi! I'm a white dude who likes to play Devil's Advocate, because other people's struggles are theoretical to me. It's fun to debate their right to equality. While we're here, I would like to centre my voice and perspectives about a cause that means nothing to me! I'm here to take up all the oxygen in the room and exhaust people who are trying to fight against injustice so that we maintain the status quo, which serves me. I have no interest in learning; your frustration is my ultimate goal! Let's engage!"

    Still image. Three panel meme. The Terminator calling John Connor's home, impersonating their voice, speech bubble is a google search, 'cheese not sticking to pizza' John Connor's foster parent, played by Jenette Goldstein, holds a plastic cream colored phone, speech bubble is a reply, "mix in sauce: mixing cheese into the sauce helps add moisture to the cheese and dry out the sauce. [circled in red] You can also add about one eighth cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness. [circled in red] Let the pizza cool: The cheese will settle and bond" The Terminator hangs up and tells John Connor: "your foster parents are dead"

    Still image. Cover of Mark Fisher's "Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?". Michael Imperioli as Christopher Moltisanti and Tony Sirico as Paulie Gualtieri in the foreground in a scene from The Pine Barrens episode of The Sopranos (1999). One character shrugs, trying to keep warm, while another has their hand to their ear, holding a cellular telephone. Bottom text reads: Ay, Tone, we're trapped in a pervasive fuckin atmosphere that acts like some kinda fuckin invisible barrier constraining thought and action

    Still image. One panel watercolor or marker comic, originally by Will Laren of Slurricane fame, "The Ol' Spicy Keychain". It's been edited to make it about the demon core. Person in a button up shirt and jacket, hand smoking, red hot screwdriver falling, person yawping in pain, brow sweaty, in front of a pedestal with a glowing blue orb. Text reads: AAAAAUUUGGGHHH!!! THE CORE! THE CORE IS BLUE HOT! SCREWDRIVER YOU RAT! YOU WEREN'T STABILIZING THE BERYLLIUM SPHERE, YOU SLIPPED AND GAVE ME THE OL' SPICY BALL! HOW COULD YOU GIVE YOUR OWN SCIENTIST, SLOTIN, THE SPICY BALL!?!

    Still image. Screenshot from Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) illustrating conditional motivation. Eddie Valiant, a detective in shirtsleeves, hat, slacks, loosened tie, and suspenders, saws away at a pair of handcuffs. Roger, a cartoon rabbit, helpfully slips out of the cuffs to steady the box they're using as a workstand. Eddie: You mean you could've done it at any time?! Roger (labeled ADHD): Not at any time, only when it was INTERESTING or URGENT

    Video clip from The Simpsons. Principal Skinner asking "Am I so out of touch?" as Hall & Oates - Out of Touch plays over a background of Skinner and Armin Tamzarian scenes. Wheelie-ing a shafty down the streets of Capital City, dancing with magnetic shoes, climbing a sheer cliff face like some non-giving-up-school-guy, yawning after a luncheon, and dancing in the cafeteria of Springfield Elementary.

    Video clip. A medium-bedraggled stove and range with speakers instead of burners. An off-screen hand twists the knobs as the speakers vibrate more and more strongly. The stove door is eventually opened to show a subwoofer at full excursion. 'Gucci Mane - Cocaine Is My Girlfriend' is playing.

    Still image. Three panels, hands rolling together cacodemons from Doom, red, monstrous, cyclopean meatballs, smiling ear to ear, mouth full of razor sharp tusks and teeth, two enormous horns surrounded by four smaller ones on their heads. Second panel shows cacodemons being fried in a pan in various stages of distress. Third panel shows a plate full of pain elementals, which look like browned cacodemons, served with a light garnish.

    Still image. Screenshot of two social media posts. bumblebeebats 1h ago Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking. Loss.jpg. bumblebeebats 1h ago i must stress that he's never seen the original comic. My mother simply showed him the shorthand symbol and he memorized it. As far as he is aware this is just a fucking hieroglyph that deals instant psychic damage to everyone under the age of 30
