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.”

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.”

Post from CptMatt_theTrashCat "I'm going to see if I can explain it a different way: "Imagine a guy who hates disabled people builds a hotel, so he bans all disabled people, and builds it in such a way as to specifically make access difficult for them. Years later he sells the hotel to a new owner who has no problem with disabled people. So you have a hotel where the owner has no problem with the disabled, and neither do any of the staff... however due to the actions of the previous owner, th…

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,…

A black-and-white tuxedo cat, looking somewhat less than impressed and gazing directly at the viewer, sits in front of a landscape-aspected painting, perhaps half again wider than it is tall. Though its proportions are closer to those of a cow,—albeit exaggerated to use as much space as possible—the markings on the tuxedo cat that fills the rectangular canvas indicate that it’s a portrait of the otherwise normal cat that now sits before it. Caption: “I don’t know who did this. But I do have a …

A single-panel editorial cartoon, entitled “The next big Iran War announcement”. Standing near the White House press podium, a blonde woman in brown jacket and skirt peers back around a doorway to a roomful of hunched men in suits audibly clicking on their mobile phones. “What are we waiting for?” the woman asks. The closest man to the door looks over his shoulder at her and replies, “Everyone to get their trades in.”

A black and white image of the late, great drag queen Divine peering over her shoulder at young, smiling Donald and Ivana Trump. Divine wears an expression of utter contempt and disgust. [Edit: per @Ralph@hear-me.social, the image is actually a digital composite, created by artist Sugar Deluxe, from a 1989 image of the Trumps; Divine passed away in 1987.]

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-…

A single-panel comic by Pat Bagley, entitled “Puppet.” A big-screen television shows Donald Trump gesturing wildly, his arms pointing to one- and three-o’clock. Meanwhile, in front of the TV, Vladimir Putin wears a virtual reality headset and, controllers in hand, holds his arms in the same position as Trump’s. As he does so, Benjamin Netanyahu tries to grapple Putin to take the controllers from him. “My turn!” Netanyahu cries.

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 …
