Prolly not real, but...

The image is a black and white photograph featuring two individuals, a woman on the left and a man on the right. The woman is wearing a dark-colored dress with a brooch and a necklace, and she has short, light-colored hair. The man is dressed in a suit with a tie. The background is dark, suggesting an indoor setting with other people present, though they are not clearly visible. Below the photograph, there is a caption in quotation marks that reads: "Yes, he's an idiot with zero common sense, and no social skills, but he IS my son. I just hope he never gets into politics. He'd be a disaster." The caption is attributed to Mary Anne Trump.

Best purchase yet?

So, I've been casually looking for a compact bookshelf stereo for my desk, something that could replace my computer speakers while at the same time giving me the option to listen to CDs or the radio, and yesterday I got this:

Image/photoThe image shows a silver JVC audio system with a digital display and various buttons and knobs. The display is illuminated with a blue light, showing the number "101." The system includes a radio tuner, CD player, and DVD player, as indicated by the labels on the front panel. The device is placed on a desk, with a red flexible tripod and a colorful LED light display in the background. The desk also has a small figurine on top of the audio system. The overall setting appears to be a workspace or a home entertainment area.

That's a big bigger than it looked in the pictures, or rather really deep. It is however great, and very much over kill. Why? Because it doesn't just do radio and CD, it also does DVDs, as in its a DVD player. No HDMI, but does have composite and I think S-video, so very nice piece, music and video in one small unit.

I might actually go back to the computer speakers, while this works fine, that'd allow me to hear things on the computer and play music at the same time, which is very appealing. Also since I've retired my engraver, I can replace my other computer with a small TV and watch DVDs at my desk if'n I want to.

Dunno if they still make units like this, but highly recommended, it's nice how it saves space while giving you so many options, imagine living in a tiny home or RV (caravan), all your media in one small box. I scored this one for just $20 on Marketplace, which seems about fair considering these were sold back around 2005, so really old.

The image features a quote on a dark textured background. The quote is in white text and reads: "No society wants you to become wise, it is against the investment of all societies. If people are wise they cannot be exploited. If they are intelligent they cannot be subjugated, they cannot be forced in a mechanical life, to live like robots... They will have the fragrance of rebellion around them. In fact, a wise man is afire, alive, aflame. He would like rather to die than to be enslaved." - Osho. The text is centered and occupies most of the image, with a small watermark in the bottom right corner that reads "Scholars of the Galaxy."

The image is a meme with a black background and white text at the top. The text reads: "It's ridiculous to compare ICE to the SS. The SS had Hugo Boss designing their outfits and ICE has the laundry basket from a homeless shelter designing their outfits." Below the text, there are two images side by side. On the left, there are three illustrated figures in historical SS uniforms, including a soldier, a high-ranking officer, and another officer. The uniforms are detailed, with the central figure wearing a long black coat with a red armband and a peaked cap. On the right, there are three individuals in modern clothing, including hoodies and plaid shirts, with their faces covered by black masks. They are standing in front of a black vehicle, with a traffic cone visible in the foreground. The individuals appear to be in a line, with one holding a tool.

The image features a quote attributed to Frank Zappa, presented in black text on a white background. The quote reads: "The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." Below the quote, the name "Frank Zappa" is written in red text. The background of the image is plain, with a black and white photograph of a man with curly hair and a mustache, wearing a plaid shirt, positioned in the lower right corner. The man is looking to the side, with his arm resting on a surface.

Break the cycle
The image is a four-panel comic strip featuring two green dinosaur characters. In the first panel, a smaller dinosaur character, wearing glasses, trips and drops a box of eggs on the ground. The larger dinosaur character, presumably the father, is holding a bag and looks concerned. The second panel shows the smaller dinosaur character apologizing, saying, "I'm sorry." The third panel depicts the father character, with a stern expression, saying, "What did you do!? I-I'm so-so-so-sor-" while the smaller dinosaur character responds, "Sorry doesn't fix it! Clean it up!" The fourth panel shows the father character kneeling down to clean up the mess, saying, "It's okay. It was an accident. Are you hurt?" The smaller dinosaur character responds, "I'm fine. That's good. Let's clean this." The comic strip humorously portrays a common parenting scenario where the father character prioritizes the situation over the child's feelings

The image is a three-panel infographic titled "HOW RUBBER BULLETS ARE MEANT TO BE USED" and "HOW POLICE ARE USING THEM." The top panel shows a stick figure aiming a rubber bullet gun at another stick figure from 36 to 72 yards away, with a red line indicating the intended trajectory. The text explains that rubber bullets are meant to be fired at the ground at an angle to reduce velocity and risk of grievous bodily harm or death. The middle panel depicts a stick figure aiming a rubber bullet gun at another stick figure from less than 30 yards away, with a red line showing the actual trajectory. The text states that police have repeatedly been recorded firing at protesters' and journalists' faces from distances of less than 30 yards. The bottom panel features a detailed illustration of a human skull with a rubber bullet entering the eye socket, causing fragments to break into the brain, leading to cranial bleeding. The text explains that rubber bullets have enough force to fracture the skull, sending bone fragments into the brain, and that bullets striking the orbital socket can completely destroy the eye and penetrate the brain, causing death. It also mentions that since their adoption by police forces around the US and the world, rubber bullets have killed 3% of those they injure and hundreds have been permanently blinded.

Since 2019, tracker Mukwa Bear has brought closure to grieving families across Canada."

The post is divided into two sections, each with a timestamp of "2d" (2 days ago). The first section of the post discusses the disappearance of books from Libby, a digital library service. The user mentions that books that were previously accessible in multiple libraries have started disappearing. The user attributes this to Amazon gaining exclusive rights to these books, making them available only through Amazon. The post also highlights Audible's exclusive audiobooks and the sudden disappearance of entire series and collections. The second section of the post references an article from The Verge, stating that this issue has been ongoing since at least 2021. The user speculates that Amazon has intensified its actions in response to boycotts, particularly targeting books available only digitally. The post concludes by urging support for local libraries, authors, and used bookstores.

The text is divided into several paragraphs, each discussing different aspects of the topic. The first paragraph states: "You don’t distrust universal healthcare because it’s bad. You distrust it because Reagan and then his billionaire buddies spent 40 years brainwashing you to worship corporations, letting them hijack the gov't to make it dysfunctional and fearing & loathing your own fellow Americans while calling it patriotism." The second paragraph reads: "Europe gets healthcare, college, childcare, and transit. You get GoFundMes and student debt." The third paragraph concludes with: "It’s not ‘freedom.’ It’s economic abuse wrapped in an American flag."
