Not rude things, a thread:

3 mojos for a penny

From NY Times article on newly-reopened Goya Museum in Spain: If I already had plenty of reason to dislike "immersive" art experiences, looks like for this projected image they inexplicably tweaked the colors in Goya's famed "Third of May" painting.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet.

Hey Microsoft Copilot, make my charts beautiful! Microsoft Copilot probably:

Is it that I don’t get paid to look like this nor have access to hugely expensive fitness trainers and dieticians like he does? Or is it that he doesn’t always look like this and likely hadn’t touched a glass of water for three days before this photo (which was likely photoshopped heavily)?

Comics we're once so big you could get 22 panels per page. Comics as big as a bedsheet!

This whole line of enquiry is just ‘curtains for zoosha’ to me

Oh-Oh-Spaghettioh!
