RE: #AltText (assuming my Masto app hasn’t eaten it again).

A tweet by Murray Rothbard (@MurraySuggests): “The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn't a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. “The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can't build the nuclear bomb they weren't building,…

Tantrum!
#AltText #NonSequitur

This is a screenshot from the TV show How I Met Your Mother. This shot shows a screen from an advertisement for the fictional soda called “Tantrum”, which has the selling tagline of “highest caffeine level available over the counter”. The soda and label are colored green. The shot features icons of a person skateboarding and another person riding an off-road motorcycle. I think the advertisement visuals are a nod to Mountain Dew, even though standard Mountain Dew does not extremely high caffe…

RE: #AltText.

A post by din-and-standard, dated Aug 18, 2022: “Due to various scheduling issues of living across the country and being adults none of my friends except one could make it to my birthday so we decided to buy a cake and serve it to the people at a bar to just create a birthday party. Which worked pretty well until my friend excitedly went ‘Do you know what happened on this very important day?’ to announce my birthday only for one girl to interrupt them even more excitedly with ‘The day Germany …

Stolen to add #AltText.
NB: the article shown in the last panel is at theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a

A four-panel comic, showing a young woman sitting alone on a bus, or perhaps a train. In the first panel, she stares into her mobile phone, illuminated by its light. “I love seeing people smile at their phones in public,” the caption reads. In the second panel, this time showing her a little closer, she smiles, tears brimming in her eyes as she gazes into her phone. “Have they received happy news?” the caption asks. “Is it a text from a loved one perhaps?” The next panel shows her in a head-…

Bluesky post by “Nice Old Geezer Opposes Fascist Dictators” (@bhamilton001.bsky.social): “The day after Colbert’s final show, CBS Radio News signs off as well. The news program that became famous as Edward R. Morrow reported live from London rooftops during the Blitz, now silenced. “Good night, and good luck. “And fuck you CBS.”

Stolen to add #AltText. mastodon.social/@VeroniqueB99/

Two images: the first, a glass stein full of beer, and the second, two police officers gathering empty beer steins. Caption: “Germans bought an entire town's beer supply before a white supremacist music festival”
The hundreds of neo-Nazis who flocked to the "Shield and Sword Festival" in Ostritz found themselves uncomfortably dry when a court imposed a liquor ban. The ban's aim was to prevent any violence that might erupt, and the police confiscated more than a thousand gallons of alcohol from those attending the weekend-long event. They even posted pictures on Twitter of the alcohol they'd removed from participants. But that's only half the story. Residents of the town of Ostritz, who've had to deal …

By now I have ~thousand pictures worthy of sharing (from travel and living in USA, Europe, India), but I won't get to sharing most of them because I don't have the energy or time to write alt text, and I'm unwilling to post pics without alt text.
*C'est a la vie*.

X/Twitter post from Shaz (@shazcodes): “Our CEO fired the entire 12 person QA team last month and replaced them with an AI automated testing pipeline to save $1.2 million. “Today, we lost $6 million in orders because a bot hallucinated a discount code that made everything in the store zero. “The best part? He asked the lead dev to hop on a call with the fired QA lead to see if he'd consult for free to fix it. “Corporate greed is a mental illness.”

A post by h4ckedreality on Threads: “Trump attacked the Pope. Iran defended him. Let that land.” Beneath is a screenshot of a post from X/Twitter by Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran: “His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.”

Too good not to steal for #AltText. mstdn.social/@faraiwe/11640312

Monospaced text, from an imaginary transcript of Dune: “[…] scene “Paul Atreides just made it, through a mad dash to rocks, after crossing drum sand. A sandworm is in his heels. “Paul stands at the edge of the rock, as the sand wormrises from the sand, thrumming, scales clicking and chittering. Paul is dead meat, as the couple hundred meter long sausage of doom towers over him. “The sand worm stops, opens his round mouth, and starts thumping at Paul. “A thumper nearby goes off. Sand worm t…

A Twitter post from Rushi (@rushicrypto): “If capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists. “If it rewarded talent, it would be artists, writers, and creators “If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers. “But it’s none of them.”
