General reminder:
The domain name putty.org is NOT run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.
Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath… and it always has been.
You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.
Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

The image is a black and white political cartoon. On the left, a man in a suit stands behind a podium labeled "All-American Church of the Religious Right." He is smiling and gesturing towards a large framed portrait on the right. The portrait depicts a muscular figure with a halo, wearing a tank top with an American flag and a heart with "Tax Cuts" written on it. The figure holds a rifle and stands in front of a backdrop with the words "The Rich Get Richer" and "Tax Cuts" on banners. The background includes a small image of a child and the words "AM RADIO" and "WAL-MART." The man in the suit has a speech bubble saying, "We decided we needed a portrait of Jesus more in tune with our politics!" The cartoonist's signature, "Horsey," is in the top right corner.

Which is why all the highest-quality goods are produced in....Venezuela, I guess? And Cuba, of course. And let's not forget North Korea.

The "money machine," that is, the Federal Reserve, is a counterfeiter, a creation of the government, not of pure capitalism, whose money is gold.

The image is a political cartoon depicting a scene at "Camp Mystic." In the foreground, a young woman with long brown hair, wearing a purple shirt and blue shorts, is kneeling on the grass with her arms outstretched, asking "WHY?" in a large, bold speech bubble. She appears to be questioning someone off-panel to the right. To her right, a figure resembling a gray elephant, dressed in a pinstriped suit, stands behind a sign that reads "GOV OFFICIALS." The elephant character is holding a rolled-up document and has a speech bubble saying, "NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR SUCH POLITICALLY CHARGED QUESTIONS!" A blue teddy bear lies on the grass nearby, and a mattress is partially visible in the background. The setting suggests a campsite with a stream running through it. The cartoon is signed "Ruhlman's Wisconsin State Journal" and dated "2020."

The image is divided into two sections. On the left, there is a person wearing a white hooded robe with a pointed top and eye holes, resembling a Ku Klux Klan costume. The background is dark, and the person is standing against it. On the right, there is a person in a black tactical police uniform with a cap, sunglasses, and a black balaclava covering the face. The uniform has a vest with the text "POLICE ICE" in white letters. The background is a light-colored building. At the bottom of the image, there is bold white text on a black background that reads "NOW AVAILABLE IN TACTICAL BLACK!"

The image features a portrait of a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a black shirt and a white headband. He is seated with his arms crossed, resting on his knees, against a textured, earthy-toned background. The man's expression is calm and contemplative.

Overlaying the image is a block of text in white font, which reads:

"Rednecks, hippies, misfits β€” we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless. I don't like seeing anybody treated unfairly. It sticks in my craw. I hold on to the values from my childhood."

-Willie Nelson

The text is attributed to Willie Nelson, a well-known figure, and conveys a message of inclusivity and concern for others.

The image features a black and white photograph of a man in a suit and tie, set within a circular frame at the top. Below the photograph, there is a quote in white text on a black background. The quote reads: "I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools." The name "RAY BRADBURY" is displayed at the bottom of the image in white capital letters. The overall design is simple, with a focus on the text and the photograph.

The image features a black background with white text centered in the middle. The text is a quote that reads: "Why don't you read the books you already own before buying new books" why don't you eat all the food in the house before going shopping? That's what you sound like. That's how crazy you sound right now. The font is simple and easy to read, with no additional graphics or images present. The text is formatted in a block style, with each sentence on a separate line, creating a clear and concise message.

Below this, there is a reply from the same account, also timestamped "20h," which reads: "Your sober friends do not 'want a taste', they do not find it funny when you bring unlabeled food with alcohol in it, and they should be made aware when events will center around alcohol so they can make educated decisions about their wellbeing. Be kind." The post includes a "Follow" button in the top right corner, indicating that the account is not followed by the viewer. The post is presented in a clean, white background with black text, typical of social media platforms.

The image shows a tweet from a user named Marisa Bate, with the handle [@]marisajbate. The tweet is written in black text on a white background. The text reads: "describing women who clean and run a house, look after multiple children and source and prepare food for a spouse as 'not working' is surely one of the most successful conspiracies of the 20th century." The tweet is accompanied by a circular profile picture of a woman with long blonde hair. The profile picture is blurred, and the background is indistinct. The overall layout is simple, with the user's name and handle at the top, followed by the tweet content.

The image features a black background with white text. The text is arranged in two paragraphs, with the first paragraph discussing the actions of Christian nationalists, stating that they ignore the teachings of Jesus, equate his compassion with "socialist wokeness," and reinvent God to fit their image. The second paragraph concludes by stating that these individuals are not worshipping God but are instead worshipping themselves. The text is presented in a straightforward, unembellished manner, with no additional images or graphics.

But no such initiative has quite captured the public imagination as the €1 house scheme. β€œIt’s a PR campaign,” said Maurizio Berti, who runs 1eurohouses.com, a website dedicated to tracking and promoting various €1 house towns. And it’s a wildly successful one at that. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…






I do like Andy Grammar


He's got some fun stuff, while this isn't my favorite, it isn't terrible, and I feel like I should know who the weirdo in the elevator is.

This I think is a better one, and the video is so fun.
