Déjà vu...
Pallets of Uralasbest asbestos wrapped in plastic with a large red seal-like stamp on the side depicting Trump with the russian words "Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States." This was due to Trump saying asbestos was "100% safe after application" and that "the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal."

Dr. Who monsters don't give me any issues but these three equally creep me out then and now.
Harold Green from The Red Green Show stroking his instrument. Mr. Bean. It's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane. Pee Wee Herman was creepy even before the arrest for masturbating in an adult theater.

Here are some Interesting potential relations that agree with the recent(ish) proton radius measurements (~0.84 fm) and confirmations that disagree with prior values (~0.8776 fm). Though, without more precision and certainty in the measurements, it's hard to tell if this is correct.
Equations showing the relationship between the reduced Planck constant, the fine structure constant and the masses and radii of the electron and proton with a prediction for the precise value of the proton radius. $$\hbar=\frac{m_er_0c}{\alpha}=\frac{m_pr_pc}{4}$$ $$\alpha=\frac{4m_er_0}{m_pr_p}$$ $$r_p=\frac{4}{\alpha}r_p^\text{classical}=\frac{e^2}{\pi\varepsilon_0m_pc^2\alpha}\approx0.84123564~\text{fm}$$

Anyone else worry that one day coconut crabs will get a taste for human brains? They could easily climb us like they climb coconut palms, crack our heads open and scoop out the meat inside just like they do with coconuts.
One red coconut crab in the process of climbing the left fork in the trunk of a a large coconut palm tree and a blue one seems to rest in the gusset of the fork as if it is considering heading up the right fork. It may, however, be considering the tasty brains of the photographer who has ventured too close, instead.

It would not be out of character.
Pallets of Uralasbest brand Russian asbestos labeled "Approved by Donald Trump, 45th President of the United States" with a red stamp that includes an image of Trump's face. Chyron reads "VERIFY: WAS ASBESTOS LABELED 'TRUMP APPROVED'?" from KHOU 11 with a big checkmark next to it because it was in fact a real image of a real product that really has Trump's face stamped on it.

I finally figured out where part of my obsession with computer science, technology and, especially, the idea of living in a warehouse came from, I think. I've been trying to figure out what this show for ages. It was a very short-lived series created by Isaac Asimov, apparently. Probe (1988)
Title graphic of the 1988 TV Series "Probe" with the name in the middle over a glass of water on a table with the star (Parker Stevenson) on the left and co-star (Ashley Crow) on the right leaning toward each other with their arms folded, elbows on the table, looking into each others eyes over the top of the glass.

Why not bring back the baby cage?
Baby in a baby cage hanging outside a window with mother looking on from inside. These were all the rage for giving your baby fresh air while living in a multistory apartment building in the 1930s and 40s.

Here's a Cookie.
Roy Rogers (himself), Caroline Bullfincher (Jane Frazee) and Cookie Bullfincher (Andy Devine) in a still from the movie Under California Stars (1948). Roy is sitting legs out in front of him on the ground holding an apparently unconscious Caroline on his lap while Cookie kneels in front of them, hat in hand.

Just a little reminder that the idea at the core of LLMs isn't all that new.
An illustration of The Engine from Jonathan Swift's 1726 book Gulliver's Travels showing a grid of moveable words on a table with iron handles for each row and column. Beside it is a quote from the book: The Engine "Every one knew how laborious the usual method is of attaining to arts and sciences; whereas, by his contrivance, the most ignorant person, at a reasonable charge, and with a little bodily labour, might write books in philosophy, poetry, politics, laws, mathematics, and theology, without the least assistance from genius or study." — Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels, 1726 Not included in the image, the book further describes The Engine and its operation in some detail: He then led me to the frame, about the sides, whereof all his pupils stood in ranks. It was twenty feet square, placed in the middle of the room. The superfices was composed of several bits of wood, about the bigness of a die, but some larger than others. They were all linked together by slender wires. These bits of wood were covered, on every square, with paper pasted on them; and on these papers were written all the words of their language, in their several moods, tenses, and declensions; but without any order. The professor then desired me “to observe; for he was going to set his engine at work.” The pupils, at his command, took each of them hold of an iron handle, whereof there were forty fixed round the edges of the frame; and giving them a sudden turn, the whole disposition of the words was entirely changed. He then commanded six-and-thirty of the lads, to read the several lines softly, as they appeared upon the frame; and where they found three or four words together that might make part of a sentence, they dictated to the four remaining boys, who were scribes. This work was repeated three or four times, and at every turn, the engine was so contrived, that the words shifted into new places, as the square bits of wood moved upside down.

Testing BlueSky's rendering of MathML-in-SVG as an image.
Let me know if the equation doesn't render correctly for you.

A complicated equation rendered from LaTeX Math to MathML and embedded in an SVG file as a foreign object then uploaded as an image to test if BlueSky would render it.

I wonder if I did this right... And does anyone else wish BlueSky could render math so you don't need to make it into an image? #MathSky
LaTeX math equations for polar form of hyperbolic and regular quaternions. Basically, the 4D Euler formula and the hyperbolic equivalent. LaTeX math code follows: $$\begin{aligned} e^{j(\theta+i\phi)}=&~\thinspace\cosh(\theta)\cosh(\phi)-i\sinh(\theta)\sinh(\phi)~+\\ &j\cosh(\phi)\sinh(\theta)-k\cosh(\theta)\sinh(\phi) \end{aligned}$$ $$\text{for}~i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk={\color{yellow}1},~ij=k,~jk=i, ~ki=j$$ $$\begin{aligned} e^{j(\theta+i\phi)}=&~\thinspace\cos(\theta)\cosh(\phi)-i\sin(\theta)\sinh(\phi)~+\\ &j\cosh(\phi)\sin(\theta)-k\cos(\theta)\sinh(\phi) \end{aligned}$$ $$\text{for}~i^2=j^2=k^2=ijk={\color{yellow}-1},~ij=k,~jk=i, ~ki=j$$
