This one on page 2 is the best.

Small detail: is that a trump statue at the top centre?

Fony.

The USB consortium has gone too far.

I wouldn’t attack via USB, that path has already been too well thought out. I’d go for an interface with some sort of way to get DMA, such as:

• PCIE slots including M.2 and external thunderbolt. Some systems might support hotplug and there will surely be some autoloading device drivers that can be abused for DMA (such as a PCIE firewire card?)
• Laptop docking connectors (I can’t find a public pinout for the one on my Thinkpad, but I assume it’ll have something vulnerable/trusted like PCIE)
• Firewire (if you’re lucky, way too old to be found now)
• If you have enough funding: possibly even ones no-one has thought about like displayport + GPU + driver stack. I believe there have been some ethernet interface vulnerabilities previously (or were those just crash/DOS bugs?)

Inspired by the ABC Article “North Korea was floundering under sanctions. Now it’s making billions from stolen cryptocurrency” I thought it would be nice to cast Santa and Kim Jong Un as friends. My biggest worry about this picture is that it portrays crypto in a positive light, that’s probably not as light hearted as I intended.

Bing Dall-E. Prompt: “Santa Claus has a manic smile as he helps the Supreme Leader of North Korea count their bitcoin.” Bing blacklists the words “Jim Jong Un” but this synonym seems to work.

Glad you enjoyed it. I put this together because I had a crappy day off work sick.

I’m often more interested in the world of a fictional work than its actual plot or characters. Is it a place, regardless of how horrible or how nice, that I’d genuinely want to visit and experience? I probably cheated a bit on this one (directly bribing the reader with chocolate) but it still counts.

… so if I remove the kids, I get all of it to myself?

I wish I could remember the name of the show :( I tried doing some searching, but came up empty.

The feetsies!

I once saw a TV show about candy & sweet food manufacturers in the US. One episode showed a factory with a dedicated underground railway line just for receiving several loads of sugar each day. They talked about how many times you could travel to the moon and back if you lined up their yearly production.

I was hoping someone would spot that :) Maybe that’s what the aspiring railway engineer in blue is trying to point out?

Bonus: “The Cleftshear parenting association warns that the biggest risk of letting your kids ‘Choctrack’ unsupervised isn’t the trains, but instead what they might find under the rails.”

Reports indicate parents discovering their children in possession of dangerous knoweldge. One Cleftshear parent was quoted as saying “My child started asking about other countries at dinner last night”. Another reported their child to be suddenly able to perform 4 digit multiplication.

Teleporting last supper clowns. You turn your head and they’re there. “We have come here to help you. Is whom you plan to betray truly deserving of their fate?”

The room setting is disturbing. How do they get to the other side of the table, jump it? Where are the table legs? Is this table hovering?

I was going to argue that he’s a sophisticated dino that wears shoes and is just salivating over the orange kid’s kitkats, but wow that orange kid does look like food now that I think about it. Sorry kid.

Thankyou, I prefer that version of events much more.

We need more modern-reinterpretation religious material.

“It was a SETUP!” – Jesus, probably

Bonus: in this once they’re a bit blase, but one of the kids is levitating chocolate (proper reality breaking!) and I think they summoned the monsters to defeat a train, which is always cool in my books. Bonus seamonsters too. I’m just a bit uncomfortable with the kid running into the path of the train :|

I’m secretly hoping both drivers are swaying to this whilst in the traffic.
