The image is a text-based scenario set in a cafe during a morning shift. It begins with a description of the scene: "I am working a morning shift at a cafe. We are serving breakfast. A little boy and his mother enter the cafe." The text then presents a dialogue: "Me: 'So, what will it be?'" followed by the child's response, "Child: 'I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN.'" This statement causes a sudden silence, and the mother looks embarrassed. The mother then says, "Mother: 'Eggs... he would like some eggs...'" The text is formatted in a conversational style, with the child's statement in all capital letters to emphasize its absurdity.

Perhaps it's just me, but I do find it amusing that the GNU Readline 8.3 announcement, in July 2025, gives two FTP URLs as the primary way to obtain the software. I don't remember when I last fired up an FTP client, and my web browser has long since forgotten how to do it too.
my web host won't let me ssh in unless I pay lots more money, which is how I re-learned that both sides have to agree on BINARY mode and all clients default to ASCII
I recall a text adventure puzzle where an in-game terminal with an ftp client let you teleport objects. If left in ASCII mode, a transporter-accident "worthless pile of protoplasm" resulted.

The video features a small, cream-colored kitten lying on its back on a gray surface, appearing relaxed with its eyes closed. A person's hands enter the frame, holding a piece of seaweed. The hands carefully place the seaweed around the kitten's body, wrapping it snugly. The kitten remains still and undisturbed throughout the process. The hands then use two chopsticks to gently lift the seaweed, creating the illusion that the kitten is being served as sushi. The kitten continues to lie peacefully, seemingly unaware of the playful setup. The video concludes with the kitten still wrapped in the seaweed, with the chopsticks positioned above it, enhancing the whimsical sushi presentation.

Bloomberg: The Texas Floods Were Made Worse by Climate Denialism
Elected officials must be held accountable, now and in the future, for the lives lost in disasters brought on by increasingly extreme weather.
By Michael R. Bloomberg
"...The tragic news out of central Texas has been heartbreaking, but it’s also been maddening — because so many lives could have been saved if elected officials had done their jobs. They owe the families who lost loved ones — the death toll from the Fourth of July floods is now at more than 100 — more than thoughts and prayers. They owe them a sincere commitment to righting their deadly wrong, by tackling the problem they’ve turned their backs on for too long: climate change...."

The image features a woman holding a glass of beer against a blue background. She is wearing a black dress with thin straps and a bracelet on her wrist. The text on the image reads "Alcohol! Because Sometimes the Truth Needs a Laxative." The woman is depicted in a vintage style, with her hair styled in an updo and wearing dangling earrings. The glass of beer is held in her right hand, and the beer appears to be a light-colored lager with a frothy head. The overall tone of the image is humorous, with the text suggesting a playful connection between alcohol and the idea of revealing the truth.

The image is a meme with two parts. The top part contains text that reads, "Ordered this badge for my girlfriend, which was made from my proposal photo to her. Didn't quite go as expected..." The bottom part of the image is divided into two sections. On the left, there is a photograph of a man kneeling on one knee, proposing to a woman who is standing and holding a jacket. The man is wearing a gray shirt, and the woman is wearing a pink and white striped shirt and blue jeans. On the right, there is a badge with a silhouette of the same proposal scene. The badge shows a man kneeling and a woman standing, but the woman's silhouette is incomplete, with a noticeable gap where her head should be. The badge is gold-colored with a black background.

A US appeals court blocks FTC's "click-to-cancel" rule, which was set to take effect on July 14, saying it failed to conduct a preliminary cost-benefit analysis (Jody Godoy/Reuters)
The image is a meme with two parts. The top part contains text that reads, "Ordered this badge for my girlfriend, which was made from my proposal photo to her. Didn't quite go as expected..." Below the text, there are two images side by side. The left image shows a man kneeling on one knee, holding a woman's hand, proposing to her. The woman is standing, wearing a pink and white striped shirt and blue jeans, holding a jacket. The background appears to be an outdoor setting with a building and some greenery. The right image shows a badge with a silhouette of the proposal scene. The badge has a gold-colored figure of the man and woman, with the man kneeling and the woman standing. The silhouette is somewhat abstract and lacks detail, which is the source of the humor in the meme.

The image features a woman with shoulder-length, reddish-brown hair, standing outdoors with a backdrop of green foliage. She is wearing a historical-style dress with a light-colored blouse and a brown corset-like bodice with a lace-up front. The blouse has a green trim around the neckline and sleeves, and the corset has a quilted pattern with metal eyelets and black laces. The woman's expression is neutral, and she is looking directly at the camera. The lighting suggests it is daytime, and the overall color palette includes earthy tones.

The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring a fish with a castle in a fishbowl. In the first panel, the fish says, "It's getting cloudy in here." The second panel shows the fish outside the fishbowl, looking worried and saying, "Which means, soon I'll be abducted by that thing from above." The third panel depicts the fish in a new fishbowl with a slightly different castle, saying, "Eventually, it puts me in another tank. It will look like my tank, but it won't be my tank. Things will be off... plants moved... rocks disheveled... castle slightly askew..." The final panel shows the fish in the new tank, looking surprised and saying, "I've lost count of how many times I've traveled the multiverse." The background is a simple green, and the fishbowl is transparent, allowing the viewer to see the fish and the castle inside.

A U.S.- and Israeli-backed aid distribution organization that's been widely condemned by the international community resumed its operations today after again suspending its work Sunday. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation claimed without evidence that two U.S. contractors were hurt in an attack by Hamas at one of its sites on Saturday. The claim came as GHF security guards continued near-daily attacks on starving Palestinians queuing for aid at overcrowded distribution sites - with at least 750 Palestinians killed and nearly 5,000 others wounded in such assaults since May. This comes as a former GHF security guard and whistleblower has described how he witnessed American co-workers using machine guns to open fire on Palestinians who posed no threat. The former guard asked to remain anonymous as he spoke to the BBC.
Former GHF security guard: "When this guy was shooting into this group, this man dropped to the ground and was motionless. Then the other contractor who was standing there was like, 'Damn, I think you got one,' and then they laughed about it."
U.S. contractor: "I think you hit one."
Former GHF security guard: "I brought this to the attention of the leadership directly. I was like, 'I don't' - and then the leadership said to me, 'Well, you have no way of knowing that that person was hit with a bullet. Maybe - maybe they tripped. Maybe they - maybe they were tired, and they passed out.'"
The contractor said guards were told to open fire if they felt uncomfortable, with instructions to "shoot and ask questions later." The guards reportedly described starving Palestinians in line for food as "the zombie horde."

President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House Monday, where the two leaders promoted a plan to expel thousands of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Over dinner with Trump, his Mideast envoy and top Cabinet members, Netanyahu presented Trump with a letter nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Netanyahu also said he was working with the U.S. to find countries willing to receive Palestinians, claiming they would be free to leave Gaza voluntarily.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "I think President Trump had a brilliant vision. It's called free choice. You know, if people want to stay, they can stay. But if they want to leave, they should be able to leave. It shouldn't be a, you know, prison."
Netanyahu's White House visit came as Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had instructed his forces to establish what he called a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of Rafah in southern Gaza, where Israel would forcibly relocate some 600,000 Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Trump has expressed confidence that Hamas would soon agree to a proposed 60-day ceasefire with Israel, even though indirect talks in Qatar on Monday once again failed to reach a breakthrough.
