Map of how above or below normal the temps in the US will be over the next 6-10 days. Most areas are above or well above. Except New Mexico.

Will Ferrell and Chad Smith (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers) are sitting side by side on the set of a late night show, wearing matching outfits. Because they look so much a like, it makes them look like clones. "2001 Iraq War propaganda" is superimposed over Ferrell. "2025 Iran War propaganda" is superimposed over Chad Smith.

Yuuuuup. My layoff notification isn't far away. Not because these work as promised, but because they'll sacrifice everything and everything to maintain the artifice that they do.
A cut from an email notification from Microsoft says: "Try Researcher and Analyst today ‌ ‌We’re excited to introduce our latest Copilot gamechangers—Researcher and Analyst! These are first-of-their-kind reasoning agents giving you highly skilled expertise on demand. "

This is just desparate, Microsoft. You've shoved Copilot into every corner of every product imaginable, almost no one's using it, so now you're making it follow my fucking cursor? It's the same they-can't-keep-saying-no-forever strategy most of these loser engineers use to get dates.

A superimposed comment from a previous video asks "You do know that Anne Frank is a fictional character?" as the video creator, a middle-aged woman with short brown hair wearing a sweater and a scarf, looks into the camera and holds her head in disbelief.

A screenshot from Stardew Valley. It shows 5 of the single female characters - Emily, Haley, Leah, Penny, and Abigail - with 8 out of 10 hearts, the most you can get without initiating a relationship.

Poster for the TV Show Pushing Daisies. The background is a bright blue, slightly cloudy sky. A large cloud is at the top and serves as a background for the title of the show, written in large, green, block letters and arranged a little helter-skelter. A bee is flying in front of the letters. Below, in the center of the image, the characters in the show sit on oversized daises. The two man characters in the middle - a man in a suit and a woman in a red dress - look at each other longingly.

Superimposed is a Freddy Kreuger glove that has kitchen knives in place of claws.

Day 16 / 20
Poster for the British police procedural series Unforgotten. A middle-aged white woman with shoulder-length brown hair and wearing a brown coat is on the right side of the image, standing close enough to the camera that anything below her waist is below frame. A middle-aged Indian man stands slightly behind her and to her left, wearing a shit and tie and a blue coat. Both are staring into the camera. A dark, cloudy sky is behind them. The names of the two leads - Sanjeev Bhaskar and Nicola Walker - are in small, white, block letters at the top of the poster. The show's title - "Unforgotten" - is in larger white, block letters in the middle, with the right end of the word gradually getting more and more translucent.

I bought a 2018 Volt about 6 months ago. It's a #PHEV with a promised range of 53 mi per charge when brand new. This morning, it estimated 60! 13% more than rated! (And I can verify that I actually get pretty close to what it estimates.)
Picture of the dash of a 2nd gen Chevrolet Volt. It shows all the typical stuff you'd expect in a plug-in hybrid, including range, which is currently showing 60 mi with a full battery.

Day 15 / 20
Poster for the TV anthology Black Mirror. A still-mostly-intact piece of smashed glass dominates the image. In the center is a hole in the glass, with small pieces of the smashed glass being oriented in a surprised or shocked face. Around the edges of the hole in the glass are very faint images of characters fro the show. The name of the show - "Black Mirror" - is at the bottom in white block letters with slashes between part of the words that map to the cracks in the glass.

Poster for the TV Show "The Expanse." The background is space. There is a bullseye design in front of it taking up most of the image. Each ring is a cutaway into a different picture, showing the various characters and environments in a melange of blacks, blues, oranges, and faces. The show's title - "The Expanse" is in the center in slender all-caps lettering.

Day 13 / 20
Poster for The Red Green Show. The background is made of up strips of crinkled duct tape. The upper 2/3s is a patch for the International Possum Brotherhood, the lodge organization characters in the show belong to. It features a possum playing possum (lying on its back) in a green circle, a circle of Latin gibberish in black text on white around that, and then a red starburst around that. A folded white banner with "International Possum Brotherhood" is written in red and black at the bottom of the patch. The show's title is written at the bottom, with "Red" in block letters colored in green and "Green" in block letters colored in red.

Poster for the show The Leftovers. The entire photo is in black and white. A shirtless man with short hair and a large, partially-visible back tattoo faces away from the camera. He is in obvious grief, leaning against a concrete wall. He is punching it with his left hand, leaving a crater in the wall, with a crack extending up from it. The show title "the leftovers" is written in white font in all lowercase across very bottom of the image.

Day 11 / 20
Poster for the show Mr. Robot. The main character, Elliott, takes up the majority of the frame. He is staring, expressionless at a spot just below the camera. He wears a black hoodie and a dark gray work jacket on top of that. He stands against a dark gray background. The show's title, "Mr. Robot," is written largely in red, all-caps, futuristic font near the bottom of the image. The show's tagline - "Control is an illusion" is at the top above Elliott's head in faint, all capital letters
