Valve, what were you thinking?
A single panel showing the bland, black slab front face of the upcoming Valve Steam Machine game console beside the iconic white and gray "Weighted Companion Cube" with its pink hearts on each face from Valve's video game Portal. The text above reads, "Valve only had to do one thing to make the Steam Machine a hit and they failed"

I want the sandwich to testify...
An edited press photo of the heavily armed police escort that brought accused murderer Luigi Mangione to his hearing. The accused has been replaced with a large mixed meat submarine sandwich.

A photograph of a snarling leopard looking upward while perched on a thick gray tree branch. White meme text reads, "Due to unusually high volume all of our leopards are currently busy. Please stand by and the next available leopard will be with you shortly." Photograph is marked copyright Peter Geraedtz.

Uniting Markup and Clojurescript!
A extracted corner of the Kelty cartoon where a evil looking man labeled "Sickos" is peering through a window at night saying, "Yes... Ha Ha Ha... YES!"

#nextdoor never stops giving. Today's target of derision is the person who hates wind chimes.
I wonder what the thinking is about the proliferation of windchimes? my home is surrounded by them from every direction, and i find it unfair that i cannot enjoy the beauty of silence in nature/in my garden because it's compromised by the incessant (unless it's a perfectly still day) loud and cacophonous objects. The fact is, unless a windchime is tuned, if it's a cheapo version, it's actually more disturbing to the nervous system. Now that it's spring, i'd like to open my windows but i am literally jumping out of my skin from the noise, especially if it's really windy. AND i can hear it from INSIDE my house with windows closed so i really feel trappd. I approached one neighbor asking for help, even hanging at the back of her house would help, and i was infuriated at the arrogance of her response - something like -oh they were a gift and have sentimental value so... no - essentially F&%@* you very much. i'm thinking of offering an individual cash reward for their removal - or going thru the city to see about some kind of regulation. thoughts?

#uspol #warthunder #signal #meme
A reworking of the War Thunder forum meme. It reads "In honor of War Thunder" followed by "Days since classified military documents have been leaked in Signal". The counter reads "0000". The character has a grim smile and a single tear as it claps.

Light reading, apropos of nothing.
Alexander L. Hinton's book, _It Can Happen Here_ resting on a bar. Behind it is a martini.

Cool story 😆 Pics or it didn't happen.

In 2016 I was still grinding camos on sniper rifles in COD:AW and ended up in a pug with the 5th ranked player on XBox. I didn't get a screencap but I did get kills on him and complete my last set that day. Haven't played since...
