(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

i hope if you’re older than say your early 20s you’ve found a good reason to live besides spiting your enemies. if you’re like 22 you’re fine though. maybe just start thinking about it

A four panel comic strip. Panel one: text reads β€œI love drawing my scrungly guys at the computer.” A coyote is shown looking at the viewer over his shoulder whilst typing at a computer. Panel two: text reads β€œBut what are they computing?” A close of view of a badge on the computer reading β€œCBM- Coyote Business Machines.” Panel three: text reads β€œMaking a game? Drawing up a budget? Home automation?” The coyote says, β€œI use the computer to communicate!” Panel four: a close view of the computer screen, showing a simple program written in Basic: β€œ10 print β€œyip” 20 goto 10” Run Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip

The screenshot of the release notes reads:

A new version of TeX Live Utility is available!
TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now?
Release Notes:
Changes Since 1.54
β€’ Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book.
β€’ First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software.
β€’ Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date.
β€’ Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date.
β€’ Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database.
Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144.
β€’ Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models.
β€’ Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

Heathcliff sits on a small cat bed underneath a giant poster with the word "ME" in huge text and an arrow, point down to the spot where he's sitting. Grandpa Nutmeg stands off to the side with a guest and says "That's his favorite spot."
