Happy Saturday, everyone! Here on Global Nerdy, Saturday means that it’s time for another “picdump”, which is the weekly assortment of amusing or interesting pictures, comics, and memes I found over the past week.
Thanks to revelations about a certain CEO this week, this picdump is an especially long one, with 200+ memes, images, and even videos. Share and enjoy!

How do I put this list together?
It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrapes Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgment calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.
In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.
What goes into this list?
I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:
…but on the bright side, I have a lot of material for Saturday’s picdump.
When someone has an affair that threatens his family, company, my portfolio, the stock market, and global security, there’s only one rational way to respond: with a special edition picdump!
