The image is a two-panel meme featuring a character with blue hair and raccoon-like features. In the first panel, the character appears cheerful and excited, with wide eyes and a big smile. The text reads, "Murderhobo PCs after slaughtering an innocent Tavern Keeper." In the second panel, the character looks shocked and terrified, with wide eyes and hands pressed against their face. The text reads, "Murderhobo PCs when his severed head sprouts spider legs and darts off, across a wall and through the window." The character's expression changes from happy to scared, emphasizing the humorous contrast between the two scenarios.

Some red states actually shut down their childhood immunisation programs, along with Covid vaccinations as a 'so there, π ' to Biden. Very adult, I'm sure. But there is no doubt that having a brain-worm-killing, anti-science, anti-vax numpty in charge of *health* the US is going to suffer, and children will die in the millions.

Hello fellow humans! I'm considering starting out all of my electronic communications with "Hey fuckers" so you all know it's not an AI.
(Eh, eventually they'll teach the AI to swear and even that won't work anymore.)
Anyway, I was looking up how to add composite video to a Raspberry Pi Zero, and I found an article (which I will not link) that claimed to show me how to do it.
A few paragraphs in, this obviously AI generated line art shows up and I realized I was taken for a fool.

Supermarkets are going to accidentally reinvent the staffed checkout by making the self-checkouts such a nightmare to use the customer always ends up needing intervention from staff anyway.
(Personally I use the scan as you go around and put stuff straight in the bag. Then just pay and get out of there. Much less hassle.)

The image depicts a figure in elaborate medieval-style armor, standing upright with a confident posture. The armor is predominantly silver with gold accents, featuring intricate designs and a large floral emblem on the chest plate. The figure holds a sword in their right hand and a large, ornate shield in their left, both adorned with detailed engravings. A blue cape with gold patterns flows from the shoulders, adding to the regal appearance. The figure's red hair is styled in braids, and a halo-like glow is visible behind their head, suggesting a divine or heroic aura. The background is a plain gray, emphasizing the figure's detailed attire. The image is credited to "Β©2025 PAIZO INC. DORIANADREAM.ART" in the bottom right corner.
