This image was taken by one of Curiosity's navigation cameras during the mission's 4,718th Martian day, or sol, (November 13, 2025)
The NavCam image captures the rover's workspace and features the latest drilled hole on Mars, which has a diameter of about 0.6 inch (1.6 centimeters). We can see the small cone of pulverized tailings around the hole in the center of this image.
The drilled hole is on a ridge in the boxwork terrain on Mt Sharp. The rover recently drilled a sample hole in one of the many depressions in the boxwork terrain. Hopefully any dissimilar mineralogy between that sample and this one from the ridge could help to identify the different amount of weathering that appears to be responsible for forming this really interesting terrain.

Not the most impressive hole, as determined by "can I fuck it?"
Speak for yourself.
You gotta lower your standards because you don't stand a chance of fucking any hole on Mars.
