if your government software looks like this, it will never break, never need replacement, and will work on every computer since we landed on the moon

This is not a joke. This is a screenshot of the actual case management software used by Massachusetts' 11 District Attorneys. Must-read work here by @nasser.wiki nasser.blog/dial-up-just...

I am not joking: this is AOL era software. It's got clip art. IDK how it even works on modern computers

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Here's the end of the 1953 EC Comics adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains," first published in Weird Fantasy #17.

Two comics panels of a burned-down futuristic house, with a recorded voice repeating "Today is August 5, 2026!" over and over.

Sarah Andersen @sarahseeandersen.bsky.social · 12h ago

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows a giraffe tripping on a rock. The giraffe says “woop” as it stumbles.
Panel two zooms in on the giraffe’s face. The giraffe is sweating in embarrassment. We see a thought bubble above the giraffe. The text within the thought bubble reads, “that was embarrassing.”
The third panel shows the giraffe closing its eyes and munching on leaves reassuringly. The thought bubble above the giraffe reads, “but no one will remember.”
The fourth and final panel pans to an elephant staring at the giraffe from behind some bushes.

what happens when you barely step on your pets tail?

four panel cartoon comic. in panel one, a person is throwing their cat i the air, they're both smiling. the caption reads "my cat when we're playing". the second panel shows the cat hitting the wall, going flat, and popping up yelling "again!". in panel 3, the cat sits normally and is watching as its owners foot gets near her tail. the caption reads "my cat when my foot gets near her tail". the last panel shows the cat in a hospital bed covered in casts.

Lanky Kong on his Twitter account saying he would not eat green bananas. Of course he wouldn't. Chunky Kong eats those. Tiny Kong is there for moral support.

Spoken like a man who has never had to shop for himself.

Tweet from former US Representative David M. McIntosh, writing about a photo of a Mandani press conference where Mamdani is speaking in a grocery store, holding a bunch of green bananas: "I, for one, do not want to eat the suspiciously green bananas from the government store."

I always think of Dr. George Tiller when Kansans protect abortion rights. 17 years later and our state is somehow still a site of refuge, even in the wake of Dobbs

Enzo is Tired @enzo-is-tired.bsky.social · 2d ago

I love that the reasoning for this was that when dudes at HB rewatched the OG series. They remembered it being so much cooler and then just decided to make it real.

Rob Renzetti (Creator of My Life as Teenage Robot) Talking about working on the show. "The 2 Stupid Dogs crew all had very fond memories of Secret Squirrel and worked hard to "do justice" to the original. It was only after we had done a bunch of new episodes that we paused to look back at the old show and let's just say that it did not live up to our memories. The "idea" we had of Secret Squirrel was so much more awesome than the actual show. The reboot was based on the show we all had in our heads."

Slurms MacKenzie @slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · 19h ago

Just a reminder that: - this isn't for workplaces and if your work is trying to implement it scare them over discrimination claims - the onus is on the service provider, not the service user to comply - the code *itself* says enforcement of toilet facilities is unworkable and low priority

Slurms MacKenzie@slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · 22h ago

EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
