A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".
2026 basically
I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.
No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor
Code is liability. AI allows us to create tremendous amounts of liability very quickly
Sign reads: Free Nobel Peace prize with an order of shrimp tacos.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue jumps in shock as Green floats idly by him. Green: I don't feel like doing today. Blue turns his head to follow where Green is going as Green floats further away. Blue: Doing what today? Green: Just the whole day. Any of it. As Green drifts out of sight, Blue raises his eyebrow, puzzled, watching where Green drifted off to. Blue: Also why are you floating? Green, out of frame: I got excommuned by gravity. Blue stares after Green, now in blank bafflement. Blue: ...What?
A grey laptop of early 90s design, with dozens of 'function' keys for each built in application - and a surprisingly nice mechanical keyboard - but the 'screen' is a tiny 4 line 20 character LCD surrounded by a faux Windows interface.
The VTech Precomputer Powerpad
A radio that combines the design language of old American muscle cars and the spacerace. The top is forest green with tailfins, the bottom is ivory white, and the front is shining silver, on a silver stand. Up top we find a single antenna, a red power/volume dial, and you turn the 'intake" of the rocket to change the stations (the tuning display is immediately behind the engine, incoporated into the body).

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.
I guess money is tight
Max Headroom, perhaps? It would probably be unclear to them why it was a big deal.
The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

An image for Hacker, from the October 1985 issue of Amstrad Action. Top left: "HACKER. You've stumbled into an unknown computer system. Now what?" Center, a man looks over his commodre 64 late at night and chews his pen, an unfamiliar interface on the screen. Bottom: "'Logon'. One word appears on your screen. What do you do now? You don't know the password. You don't even know what computer system you've hacked into. But you do know that you must find out more. There are no instructions. No rules. No clues. You're completely on your own. You've found your way in. But is there a way out?"

Bedmap3 reveals new insights into the topography of Antarctica. From Bedmap3 updated ice bed, surface and thickness gridded datasets for Antarctica by Pritchard, H., et al.
The third iteration of sub-ice map of Antarctica (Bedmap 3) from @bas.ac.uk is here. It is always fascinating seeing this continent as it might have looked before the glaciation. 🧪⚒️

A white dish towel hanging on a cabinet with the words “don’t worry dishes, nobody is doing me either.”
Found a dish towel that I need in my life.
i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.
worth it
No tail, no problem
I remember it being unpleasant & a lot less fudge-y.
Wonder what mpg the Enterprise gets
A screenshot of a news article about gas prices and it kind of looks like something from Star Trek also it's kind of old I found it on my Facebook memories
This is not Diana Troi from star trek.
In this William Geise illustrated ad, the title "Computer Graphics" appears up top, being cast from a giant Apple II monitor on an iceburg; the casts are a gradiant from purple to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple again, hewing towards neon tones. From the tan Amdek monitor flies a red biplane, a parachuting penguin, and a leaping unicorn; dolphins jump from the ice into the monitor. Around the iceberg, a sea otter peeks up, a penguin tap-dances, and a whale tale lifts a unicorn on a floe. The monitor is sitting on a giant Apple II. Down below, breathless text describes three different programming packages: "For the artist: Special Effects by David Lubar and Mark Pelezarski. Paint on your computer in over 100 colors with 96 different brushes!" "For the designer: The Complete Graphics System II by Mark Pelezarski. Everythign needed for computer-aided design." "For the programmer: The Graphics Magician by Mark Pelezarski, David Lubar, and Chris Joehumson. Add fast, smooth animation and hundreds of pictures to your programs." In the bottom left, the penguin software logo appears next to ordering information, with a sunfish floating to its left; at the very bottom it says, "All Penguin applications products are now on unprotected disks for your convenience."

Didn’t realize you were that rich
Top left, the phrase "Hot pursuit through space and the vortices of time!" Top right, a vampire with scarred cheeks looks over a painting of a nose-shaaped spaceship flying through space. Center, the title "Ramware Presents... Time Lord." Down below: "The fallen Time Lord, who presumptuously calls himself The Master, is at large. The elders of Waldrom have suppleid you with the hyperspace-worthy vessel TARDIS, and commissioned you to eliminate the evil 'Master'. Your resources include clones who will fight for you, the formidible CRASER weapons of the TARDIS, and magic weapons such as Fusion Grenades and Borelian Matrix Crystals. Travelling through hyperspac ein search of the evil one, you will encounter Time Eaters, Neutron Storms, and other alien creatures and phenomena. Entering real space to search planets, you will encounter still other dangers. You will enter native settlements to buy food nd supplies - or to fight for survival. And once you find The Master can you destroy him? Bassed on Dr. Who of PBS fame. Apple Integer Basic, Disk, 48K... $29.95." Bottom left, the cylindrical CRT and keyboard logo of TSE Hardside appears, allong with an order number (with Visa and Mastercard presented).
