Designers! It’s very important that you crop your image or video thumbnails properly.
A screenshot from a Mythbusters episode titled “Will A Speeding Train Suck You Off The Platform?” It has been cropped to say “Will A Speeding Train Suck You Off”. The long-suffering Mythbusters crash test dummy is dressed in overalls and a red shirt, on a train platform alongside a locomotive.

Sad we never got to see this remake.
A Photoshopped collage of the Wizard of Oz film, with Dorothy Gale, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, all played by Gary Busey. His teeth could play their own character, honestly. In the background is the yellow brick road, leading to the Emerald City surrounded by a rainbow,

It was a little blustery in Banff today.

Hey Apple News, how hard can it be to hide content I don’t want to see? Social media sites seem to be able to do it with ease. You already have my money. I don’t want to see this stuff.

Seeing some negative press about iPhone batteries. This is my iPhone 16 Pro Max after a year. It’s still at 99% after 258 recharge cycles. I only charge it to 90%, and I keep it permanently on low power mode. Based on averages you can figure it doesn’t need recharging every day. I use my phone a lot

Yes, that’s PowerPoint on a MacBook Pro.
A photo taken offstage from stage left, showing the seats where up to 85 audience members can sit to watch Calgary Fringe Festival shows, of which mine is one. Two speakers flank the stage, and a table holding a laptop, a microphone, and a water bottle are visible. There’s is a projector centre stage.

Equal partners
Four flags flying alongside each other. From right to left, the Union flag, the Canadian flag, the United States flag, and the modified Pride flag. Note: this photo was reversed to show the flags flying from “the front”.

Timeline cleanse
The protagonist in front of a store window in Victoria, British Columbia. The sign reads SPANK. Our protagonist is wearing a blue sun hat, glasses, a pink shirt, short colourful shorts, black socks with pineapple pattern, and black Vessi shoes. Hints of queerness abound.

I threw an axe. I am the campest competitor they’ve had in the last fifteen minutes.
The protagonist, wearing glasses and a proud smile, in a pink shirt and jeans, holding on to an axe just barely on the bullseye.

They’re going to give me a weapon. I had to sign a waver. That’s because you throw in the form of a wave.

My face when I hear two different stores next to each other playing jazz
A stuffed polar bear looking bleakly into the distance. His eyes betray a dislike for jazz standards.

For those of you wondering… it’s chilly here from time to time.

Sunset.
Sunset over the Pacific Ocean off the Alaskan coast. Airstreams coax a cloud formation streaking off to the right.

In Alaska. Saw a waterfall.
Mendenhall glacier has a waterfall nearby. It was previously covered by the glacier, but when the glacier receded the water changed where it exits.

The Maps app seems to agree
