An image of the Flintstone and Rubble families from classic cartoon The Flintstones. Two additional unknown caveperson characters drawn roughly in the style of Total Drama Island and Dexter's Laboratory stand with the families. Text on the image says "The Flintstones Fandom is dying. Retoot if you're a true stoner."

Ten years ago two crack trouble consultants were sent to prison by interstellar court for a crime they may have committed.

These ladies promptly escaped from maximum military stockade to the Eleanor City underground.

Today, still wanted by United Galactica […]

The "Zohran for New York City" logo, but edited to be AM's speech from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream: "HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE."

TIL there was a dating sim where you could date the ship from Galaga.
A character select screen labeled "Students" with a variety of cartoony character options. The chosen character is Galaga, which is an enlarged but still pixel-styled version of the ship from the 1981 with the text "THE GALAGA SHIP IS THE MOST ALLURING, CAPTIVATING, AND ENCHANTING THING IN THE UNIVERSE."

A graph of the popularity of the name "Earl" that goes from basically 0 in 1862, rises exponentially through the 1890s, bounces around at a high level and hits a peak in the late 1910s, then drops off sharply in the late 1930s to a highly variable but lower value through the rest of the 20th century.

Conspiracy theorists are out there trying to reverse-engineer RTGs in the most convoluted way possible.
A post to subreddit r/Tartaria titled "Has Anyone Actually Tried to Build or Reverse-Engineer a 'Radium Fireplace' or Other Alleged Tartarian Tech?" by user Listless AU. It reads : Everywhere | look online it's the same recycled videos and diagrams talking about “radium” or "fuelless” fireplaces, but | can't find a single post where someone's actually tested the idea scientifically. Has anyone here tried to properly reverse-engineer one of these supposed radiant fireplaces — like taking an antique cast-iron stove, mapping the materials, testing conductivity, magnetism, or radiation levels, and seeing if there's any measurable anomaly? If this tech was real, surely someone in our community would've at least experimented bymnow instead of just theorising. Would love to see data, experiments, or even failed attempts — anything hands-on.

The moment in Tron: Legacy when Sam Flynn finds himself in the computer world and a Recognizer is hovering over him and he's getting blown around by the wind off of it, I was like, "Oh, they don't get it at all."
A Bluesky post from user DIO (@danielirizarri.bsky.social) which states, "I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm." with a series of iconic shots from Tron (1982) showing the abstract geometry and color of the computer world.

I love this kind of "I guess a guy is there too" character design.
The two leads of A Silent Voice, Shōya Ishida and Shōko Nishimiya. The camera is looking down on them standing on a balcony over a Koi pond, framed by cherry blossoms. Shōko is a cute schoolgirl with long detailed shiny auburn hair, big amber eyes, a blue blazer, and light blue skirt. She's posing with her hands clasped and a pleading look directed to the viewer. Shōya is a tall schoolboy in a rumpled brown suit with spiky matte hair. He looks like he just crawled out of a dumpster and desperately wants to crawl back in.

@jsstaedtler Hm. I guess I'll try Grav instead then
A section of the Pico website that reads "END OF LIFE NOTICE" Development of Pico has stopped a very long time ago. We strongly advise against using Pico for new websites. You can keep using Pico for existing websites though, it has no known security issues. However, please note that you will ultimately run into issues, because Pico wasn’t designed for modern PHP versions. You can try the last v3.0.0-alpha.2 release, or use the pico-3.0 branch. They are as stable as the last “stable” releases, but just didn’t make it through the release process before development was abandoned. If you’re about to create a new website and want to use a flat file CMS, check out some of Pico’s amazing alternatives, like Grav CMS, HTMLy, Automad, or Typemill. If you’re interested in taking over Pico’s development, please don’t hesitate to contact us by creating a new Issue on GitHub. Please provide some brief information about the extent of your commitment, your motivation, and your experience with Pico, PHP programming, and Open Source Software development in general. We’re happy to help you take over the baton, but unfortunately are no longer able to maintain this project.

Frank Lantz is putting out a game that has all the trappings and dark patterns of a slick live service game, with cool characters and battlepasses and skill trees and whatnot, but the core gameplay is a totally arbitrary coin flip.

Key art for the game Q-Up, which features a diverse cast of characters leaping across a blue sky. The characters include a guy with a colorful gun, A paramedic lady wielding defibrillator paddles, a green goblin person, someone floating serenely with some kind of microwave-shaped mask, a cowboy, an eastern style dragon, and a blinged out blue whale ship captain.

Why didn't anyone tell me René Magritte drew the first fanart of the Demon Core
A painting titled "L'automate" (The automaton) created in 1929 by René Magritte. It depicts a bisected metallic sphere floating menacingly in front of a wood paneled wall and hardwood floor.
