"Clanker balls" sound like a Butlerian Jihad trophy.

I love it.

From https://virtual.uagro.mx/museovirtual.php.

It says on the page:

"El gato victorioso"

Autor: José Emir Juárez Muñúzuri

Institución: Centro de Arte Universitario Acapulco

La obra enfoca la grandesa del gato como animal, representandolo en una posición de victoria en medio de un campo de batalla, imponiendo su dominio sobre otras especies de animales.

A raffle by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society for the restoration of Robert E. Howard (the Conan author)'s historical house (which is currently a museum dedicated for his life and work).

From time to time, the HPLHS conducts a raffle to raise funds for a great cause. It came to our attention that the home of Robert E. Howard in Cross Plains, Texas is in serious need of restoration and needs funds to do it. So we've reached out to some friends in the community and assembled our biggest prize package yet.

Who was Robert E. Howard? He was a friend and correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft. He was a fellow author of pulp fiction. And where Lovecraft created Cthulhu, Howard created Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Solomon Kane and other great characters in his all-too-short writing career. The Robert E. Howard Foundation maintains his home as a museum in Texas. Time has taken its toll on the house, and together we can raise some money to help with its restoration.

The Robert E. Howard (the guy who wrote Conan and co.) Foundation is raising money for the historical restoration of Robert E. Howard house and (nowadays) the museum dedicated to his life and work.

The house is registered as an historical building, not any REH fan with renovation know-how can volunteer to get the work done - they need to hire a professional historical restoration crew.

They are now at about 26k USD out of 100k USD needed by this donation drive.

The leaning tower of ALL MODERN DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

"Whatever microsoft is doing" is somewhere in its own unrelated island.

Beneath the towers is AI - a jack crank handle pushing the tower into a larger and larger leaning angle to the left.

AWS and Cloudflare hold the left side immediately under AI while the right side immediately under AI is "Unpaid Open Source Developer".

"DNS" is two thin blocks holding the whole tower a few levels under the previous one.

Linux Foundation holds the penultimate level.

The last level, zooming in, we can see it is an underwater cable being gnawed by a shark.
