That first cartoon is absolutely accurate, but I'm surprised there's actually water in the water bottle.
They probably charge a fee per sip.
That Martian night sky - It's spectacular, but apparently a fake. This tweet links an explanation including a screen shot where the poster marked Mars in the "Martian night sky."
Also - not a fake from NASA, he wants it made clear.

I heard about the Amazon devices doing that but have to wonder why they thought that was a good idea in the first place.
Thank you for sharing my sky pictures. :)
I think it's great that people in Japan have things in their homes because they think that's how we decorate our homes. I listen to some Kpop and really like some of the music. I tried getting my brother to listen to a couple of songs but he wasn't interested.
Martha had a good collection of memes. The one about taking the patient to the comments section was scary true.
MJ: Thanks -- I added a note to the link.
Mary K: Thanks for posting the pictures.
I assume Amazon does that so they can collect more information about people in some way -- that usually seems to be the goal.
Americans seem to think they understand Japan a lot better than they really do. Perhaps the same applies the other way around. I'm glad there is so much interest in each other's cultures, though.
Mike: Humor often brings the truth into focus.
I never really wanted to go to France before, but now I want to go just to sit in that restaurant and look at those tables!
Has anyone been Brexit-bashing recently?
Nonnie: It's pretty remarkable. I wonder how much it costs to do that. The place may be pricey.
Anon: Not recently here, but since it's one of my few zero-tolerance issues, I figured it's only fair to make new commenters aware of it.
