A digital cartoon-style illustration shows a close-up view of several red baseball caps with the phrase “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” written in bold yellow letters. The caps are arranged on wooden shelves, and each one has a visible rectangular tag that says “MADE IN CHINA.” A large price sign is placed in front of the central cap. The sign shows the original price “$50.00” crossed out and a new price “$103.00” written in large black text. The image uses warm tones like red, orange, and brown, and has bold outlines and shading.

A chimpanzee with a thoughtful expression, hands touching its face, against a dark background. Bold white text on the left reads: “If you say ‘fuck off’ backwards it still says ‘fuck off’ except it’s in a Scottish accent.”

Settled once and for all
The image is a two-panel meme using characters from the animated show “Invincible.” In the top panel, a yellow fist labeled “It’s Jif!” is punching towards a stern-looking man. In the bottom panel, the man remains unfazed and responds with text that reads, “It’s ‘Graphics Interchange Format’ not ‘Jraphics Interchange Format.’”

The image is a cartoon featuring a sign that reads “Bauhaus Retirement Home.” Below the sign, an elderly person with glasses and a sweater is using a minimalist walker designed in a geometric, Bauhaus style.

Working remotely in a world of avatars, filters, and turned-off cameras — recognizing your coworkers in the wild feels like meeting a celebrity
A simple ink drawing of two characters pointing at each other with excited faces, like they are surprised and happy to see each other.

Common-sense is so uncommon these days, it’s become a misnomer.

Entropy has reached a critical mass. It’s time to perform an exorcism on the junk drawer.
An abstract ink drawing of a jagged mess of a bunch of jumbled objects.

Bluesky isn’t about escaping Musk or MAGA, it’s about reclaiming control. Control over your own feed algorithms, your own information diet. To let you block trolls, bigots, and bad-faith actors on your own terms. It’s here to let you curate your own online experience, and I’m here for it! ✊

Cats have the unique ability to make you feel loved and deeply inadequate at the same time.

I normally don’t post AI art here.

But I just saw this, and it was so eerie and absolutely stunning (in a dreamy way) that I had to share it

At the end of day, don’t we all just want a house filled with plants that we somehow remember to water?

life’s too short not to pretend your coffee is a potion that gives you +10 charisma every morning
A pixel art illustration of a retro-style coffee cup placed on a grassy terrain in a colorful 8-bit gaming environment. The cup is simple yet vibrant, with steam rising from it, against a pixelated blue sky background. The design is minimalistic, with no badges, text, or scoring indicators, focusing solely on the coffee cup and its surroundings.

The best kind of friendships are built on a foundation of “I brought you a little snack.”

A while back, I was messing around with giving animated gifs some depth. I clipped the top edge to create a pop out illusion, and then threw in some blurring to simulate fast focus to make the effect stronger.

Does it feel like he’s poppin’ out his face for a boop?

A zoomed in image displaying the mac mouse arrow cursor with a red grid lines overlayed over it, so that it line up with the arrows end. But this makes it very clear that the cursor is completely asymmetrical to a point or extreme discomfort.

This was my last post on X:
A screenshot showing my post on X. The text says: “X’s brain-drain is intensifying. People are sick of being algorithmically force-fed with hate-filled anger, looney conspiracies, and toddler whines from self-pitying bullies. They are leaving in droves to a more peaceful and fun experience:” Below the text is a screen-grab of the AppStore page showing the Bluesky is the number 1 downloaded app.

when your manager’s in your figma file 👀
The image shows a figure of a little boy dressed in a formal suit standing in a well-lit window. The perspective is from outside the building, looking up at the window. The boy’s expression and the setting give the image an eerie vibe, as the figure appears to stare directly at the viewer.

People who name layers. Do you use that information after naming them? …or does it just help feed your OCD goblin?
