This is from a marketing installation for the new Alien series. I am not linking to the original article because the author kept using the word "activation" to mean "advertising campaign" and I threw up in my mouth a little.

Also, that is not Semiotic Standard. It looks like someone hand-drew it from memory.

Charles Johnson:

Hey, USA, here's the leader of Health and Human Services, allowing parasitic lampreys to bite his arms, presumably to let the bad humours out and make him healthier than a normal human.

We'll all soon be issued personal lampreys instead of health care.

Trump's health chief let it latch onto both his arms. He then upped the ante further, allowing two of the parasitic sea dwellers to chomp at his wrists. He also held a lamprey as it sucked onto another visitor's arm.

The eyebrow-raising photo shoot with the parasitic fish is all the more jaw-dropping given that RFK Jr. has actually suffered from a parasitic infection in the past. "A worm... got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died," Kennedy admitted in 2012. [...]

This is not Bobby Jr's first weird encounter with the animal kingdom. Perhaps his most famous run-in with Mother Nature came in 2014, when he found a dead six-month-old bear cub on a rural road. He admitted to the story last year, saying that he intended to skin it for meat, then backed out and dumped the animal in Central Park -- placing a bicycle on it to create the illusion that a cyclist had hit it.

Kennedy's daughter, Kick, revealed in a 2012 interview that her dad once beheaded a dead whale and tied its head to the roof of their family minivan before embarking on a five-hour drive. "Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car and it was the rankest thing on the planet," she told Town and Country.

Kennedy also may have dined on a barbecued dog in 2010 while in Korea, according to Vanity Fair. That was the same year that he received his dead brain worm diagnosis.

RFK Jr., a falconer who trains ravens, also "enjoyed showing off how he put baby chickens and mice in a blender to feed to his hawks," according to his cousin Caroline Kennedy. "It was often a perverse scene of despair and violence," she said in a letter to senators on the eve of his confirmation hearings to become the country's next health secretary.

Owing to his perverse relationship with animals, Lawrence O'Donnell last year crowned Kennedy Jr. the "Jeffrey Dahmer of the animal kingdom."

San Francisco's Vaillancourt Fountain may soon meet its end, despite public outcry:

Despite considerable public support for its preservation, San Francisco's 1971 Vaillancourt Fountain is not being included in plans for a new city park where it currently stands.

Although city officials insist no final decision has been made regarding the fate of the sculptor Armand Vaillancourt's Brutalist masterpiece in Embarcadero Plaza, the fountain was not a part of any of the planning activities prepared for a public consultation that took place on 8 July. [...]

Moreover, some of the city's justifications for redeveloping the site -- such as the apparent need to attract more visitors -- were undermined by the results of its own surveys. Most respondents indicated that they came to the park and plaza often (once a week or more) and walked or took public transit to get there. If the aim is to redevelop the site to better suit the needs of San Franciscans, the public consultation made it seem like many of those needs were already being met and that the public's primary concern, preservation of the Vaillancourt Fountain, was not being considered at all.

BOSTON -- Viral footage from GWAR's popular Analingus Cam supposedly shows a tech CEO engaged in a lewd sexual act with his mistress, multiple people in desperate need of a fun distraction confirmed.

"We had just sprayed the crowd with gallons of alien cum and everyone was whipped into a frenzy. We cut to the Analingus Cam and a few couples were going at it, having a fun time slurping a butt, and having their butt slurped. Then we cut to this one couple and the entire mood changed," said Blöthar the Berserker. "There he was, tongue so deep inside her that I'm pretty sure he was licking the back of her eyeballs. That's when he realized the camera was on him. He dove off screen and I said something like 'Nobody licks their wife's asshole that clean, he's either having an affair or he's a scumdog whose appetite for ass knows no bounds.' The clip really took off, my grandmother High Priestess Ejaculah even shared it on Facebook." [...]

"I want to apologize to my wife, my children, my entire family, and the employees at Golaxiar who trust me. I had a major lapse in judgement. I was trying to enjoy a private moment with a work colleague, and things went too far," said Baines. "But what does this say about our society? Where two consenting adults cannot even enjoy mutual anal satisfaction without it being broadcast across a Jumbotron and plastered on social media. We should all be ashamed. This is a societal problem, GWAR shows should be a safe space for ass eating, and this is making a mockery of a beautiful sexual act."

At press time,Tech CEOs began forwarding a new memo with best practices on how to properly cheat on your wife without ever getting caught.

"Meet The INCOMM Scientology Keyboard made by Cherry. Quite possibly the most insane keyboard of all time."

The Xenu-Speak in these ads is amazing:

"The datum here is that power is proportional to the speed of particle flow. This is the real secret behind the prosperity which can arise in connection with a computer operation." -- HCO PL 16 FEB 1984 WHAT IS A COMPUTER?

"The point here is that this planet's current popular concept of how to use a computer would make a baby laugh. It's a bit like using a nuclear reactor to boil water, which is also being done on this planet at this time."

"Real computers will be applied to Scientology management. They are being programmed based on OEC Policy and HCOBs and will have something to operate on which is very sane, logical and pro-survival. The potentials of the whole track computer will be harnessed to the tremendously powerful administrative policy of Scientology to help get that policy IN an increase production."

"An OT look at the org is from above it and outside it. The observer is not being hit by the noise. So he gets a broader view. Further he is viewing over a longer time span, often years. There's no place in the org itself where all its history is available in minute detail."

(Not to be confused with ENCOM.)

Welp, I got crickets in answer to my question, "How do I find the wl_surface backing an Xwayland X11 Window?" and that does not bode well for XScreenSaver ever being able to lock your screen on Wayland.

The only existing mechanism for third-party screen locking is the "ext-session-lock-v1" protocol and that API requires you to provide it with a set of wl_surfaces to display while locked.

So either I need to find the wl_surface of an existing X11 window, or I need a way to create an X11 window that is a child of a new wl_surface. Without that, we're dead in the water. I don't think there's another way.

(The "ext-session-lock-v1" model is a terrible idea and also doesn't work on Gnome or KDE, but it is the only game in town.)
