Saturday picdump for Saturday, November 14

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date November 14, 2026

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 all the things that happened this week…

Revelations about a certain horndog CEO (and don’t forget, there’s a picdump about him from earlier this week)
Microsoft’s outage
The FAA grounding of all flights that’s likely due to a new system

…this picdump is an especially long one, with 300+ memes, images, and even videos. Share and enjoy!

About this list

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:

- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms

Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

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!

About this list

How do I put this list together?

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?

- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms

Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

About this list

How do I put this list together?

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?

- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms

Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky
