Hiya. I’m a person. I like writing stories and applications, I suppose.

Looking at the apparent ledge you can see below the window in the video, I'm pretty sure it's from the Occidental. If you shot a video from the building's top floor and zoomed in, it looks like you'd get the same angle they have. It also makes sense with the noises in the background.
A screenshot showing the Occidental, opposite the Treasury Building and the White House, in Google Earth. A view in Google Earth from approximately the top floor of the building, looking out towards the East Wing of the White House.

What if Windows 95 was released 26 years later? A mockup merging Windows 95 and Windows 11's UI and visual styles.
Some concept art merging Windows 95's interface with Microsoft's newer Fluent Design standard. A desktop with a modernised version of Windows 95's setup background is visible, with icons pointing to This PC and Recycle Bin. A taskbar with a 95-style Start button and classic Windows flag is at the bottom, with a selected Welcome window and a clock reading 3:04pm. The only window open on the screen is the Welcome to Windows 11 logo, featuring a 'Did you know...' section telling the user how to open programs, and buttons for What's New, Microsoft Account, Ask Copilot and Close. A modernised version of the old Windows cursor is hovering over the window. In the corner, a build string reads 'Microsoft Windows Code Name "Chicago"', 'For testing purposes only. Build 22950.chicago_sv.250817-1147'.

No, macOS, I *don't* want to replace 'people' with 'peope'.
A screenshot taken on my Mac, showing the word 'people' underlined in blue by autocorrect and 'peope' suggested by macOS as a replacement.

My views on the Online Safety Act are probably banned by the government as harmful >18 content under the Online Safety Act
The stupid age verification screen to access DMs in Bluesky in the UK. “Age Assurance You must complete age assurance in order to access this screen. The laws in your location require you to verify you’re an adult before accessing certain features on Bluesky, like adult content and direct messaging. Go to account settings Don’t worry!

BREAKING: New endorsement could change the trajectory of NYC mayoral race
A fake CNN image, showing a graveyard with the CNN logo and text overlaid. The topic of the headline is the NYC Democratic primary, with the headline reading 'Epstein Back From Dead, Endorses Cuomo'. The ticker at the bottom is partly cut off, but reads 'controversial financier calls on Mamdani to triply condemn Hamas'. Next to it is text saying 'state of the race'.

In case anyone remains in any doubt about whether the BBC were being sincere in chucking out Gary Lineker over 'impartiality', here's your confirmation that it was actually just about him opposing genocide. An actual newsreader actually broke impartiality on an actual BBC programme and they love it.
A headline from The Times: "BBC bosses back Martine Croxall over 'pregnant people' correction". The subheading beneath reads "Managers are 'intensely relaxed' about the newsreader changing the scripted words to 'pregnant women'".

I built less! By hand! It took me hours!

(configure scripts don't work. there's no working make and no form of native compiler so you have to force it all to work with MSVC. you can't run -? for help because the linker can't find the help function)

A screenshot of the Fox News channel, except the headlines are edited to talk about the "biggest bank run in American history", telling viewers that "banks are out of money: withdraw now".

A Lumon terminal from Severance, with Helly quoted as saying 'They were scary. The numbers were scary.' However, instead of the standard numbers, the scary numbers are figures from the downturn in the stock market today, and the open file that Helly is completing is called Tariffs.

The world reading Jim Cramer's latest opinion
The common meme with soldiers reading headlines saying 'Hitler Dead', except in this version the headlines say 'Hitler Alive' and they're all frowning. Because that's obviously a very bad thing.

A quote from yours truly, telling you to "go to your bank at 9am tomorrow and withdraw all your money", attributed to my Bluesky handle. A picture of Warren Buffett looks on ominously in front of a red to black gradient. I do, however, have to stress for legal reasons that the picture is entirely unrelated to the contents of the quote.

bro just one more wave of welfare cuts bro, bro I swear just one more wave of welfare cuts and it'll fix the UK's finances bro

These ghouls infesting the labour movement are loathsome in every possible respect.
A screenshot from an article in The Times regarding Keir Starmer's intent to declare an end to globalisation. "Other developments: • Jaguar Land Rover is halting shipments of its British-made cars to America for a month from tomorrow while it works out how to mitigate the cost of the 25 per cent import tariff imposed on the industry. • Ministers could be forced to introduce a second wave of welfare cuts amid fears that the UK’s finances will deteriorate further. The Cabinet Office is also promising a new bonfire of the quangos to make efficiency savings."

I believe they call this the Robin Reliant vehicle model
A red Reliant Robin, a notoriously silly British three-wheeled car, flipping on its side, because it had a tendency to do that a lot.

I really think this graph tells you everything you need to know about how comprehensively terrible Labour have been in every regard since 2020. The system has gotten stricter and stricter but Labour fully buying and now advocating the scrounger narrative means people think it's more lax than ever
A graph of public opinion polling on the UK benefits system showing data since late 2019, with the general trend since 2020 being that the number of people believing the system is "not strict enough" increases over time and the number thinking the system is "too strict" decreases over time.

The 'this is fine' meme except the Democrats are sitting in a burning building now, and instead of saying 'this is fine', they're saying nothing. Because the Democrats are saying nothing about Trump and Musk's self-coup.

You, now
The "this is fine" meme, but it's Chuck Schumer sitting in a burning building, saying "trump should end the faa hiring freeze" instead of "this is fine".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa you can do both

Not that Labour will actually try particularly hard to win any political argument with Reform, anyhow. They haven't done it before so why start now
One source rejected the idea that ministers were poised to “rush through” rule changes in response to Musk’s interest. “We’ll beat Reform by defeating their arguments rather than changing the rules to stop them getting money from Elon Musk,” said a source. “You don’t successfully take on populists by changing the rules in bid to thwart them.”

Variety article with a big ol' picture of Bill Maher and the headline: "Bill Maher Says 'I May Quit' HBO's 'Real Time' Because 'I Don't Want to Do' More Donald Trump Coverage" Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka saying entirely earnestly and not at all sarcastically "Stop. Don't. Come back."

I love items like this on Wikipedia because by the existence of this alone you can tell the cowman hybrid didn't live to the fourth day (also wow 2008 really was wild)
Wikipedia screenshot: 2 April – An embryo that was a cross between a human and a cow survives a third straight day after being fertilised at Newcastle University. A director for embryonic stem cell laboratories at the Australian Stem Cell Centre says that the "99 per cent human" embryo could improve research within the field of human diseases. The Catholic Church of England and Wales however said that the creation was "monstrous" and that the later destruction of it was unethical.
