Luke. Librarian. Nerd. Good at words. Terrible at Bluesky. He/him. Bi/pan/whatever.

Part of the AI comic. A clipboard with a paper that says "prompt list (sample)" and then follows with generic words like "epic" and "landscape" sits next to a coffee mug that says "fueled by cafe [sic] & curiosity". The intent of the piece is to show that AI "artwork" is not lazy.
Two consecutive Bluesky posts from my timeline. The first is a panel of Galactus "eating" which reads (the uppercase words are bolded in the panel) "And now, placing his great HANDS to each of two NODULES--he ABSORBS it into himself, with an orgy of SELF-GRATIFICATION!" The second post is a Gundam stabbing itself through the eyes with beam sabers.
A screenshot of a notification that I've been added to a list of people who hate people who use "VR, AI, crypto, smart glasses, NFTs, and Bitcoin".
A catalog page showing the Mega Force toys in a Kenner toy catalog from 1990. It's a mix of small diecast vehicles and larger diecast and plastic vehicles that can interact with the small ones. The line is entirely unrelated to the 1982 movie Megaforce.
Mark Ruffalo in the Avengers, at the moment he tells Captain America that he controls the Hulk by being angry all the time. The caption edits the line and reads (top) "That's my secret, Cap" (bottom) "I feel old all the time".
Puffy sticker of an orc from Dungeons & Dragons. The relevant thing here is that the stickers identify the person/creature on the sticker; here "ORC" is written on his crotch as though it's the name of his genitals.
Vintage promotional poster for Child's Play comic book. Chucky is surrounded by objects related to various horror icons (Jason's mask, a ball from Phantasm, Freddy's glove, etc. The implication is that Chucky killed them all.
Screencap from Star Trek: Lower Decks. Mariner is telling an overwhelmed Rutherford "Bridge officers are always coming back from the dead."
A section of pegboard at Walmart. Roughly ten pegs are completely empty, save for a single 2-pack of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, two popular wrestlers who have made billions for WWE, but were released from WWE last week after refusing to take a pay cut.
An open and half-empty 20oz bottle of "Dirty Mountain Dew". Text under the logo calls it "Cream Soda Dew", helpfully clarifying what "dirty" means in this context.
Wolverine in a speedo, standing in front of a grill with hot dogs spread out before him. He appears to be using the claws on his left hand as grilling utensils. There is a hot dog speared on a claw on his right hand, and he's bringing it up to his mouth to have a bite. The hot dog is positively dripping with juices. This is not suggestive at all, no sir, not even a little bit. (Narrator: It was EXTREMELY suggestive, true believers!)
The Google search results for "invisible man griffin". Four pictures of the titular Invisible Man as portrayed on screen by Claude Rains, followed by an AI summary that thinks "griffin" primarily indicates a search for Family Guy characters. At no point before the cutoff is any mention made of the Invisible Man, despite being the first two words in the search and generally indicative of a searcher's priority.
The image of the cat from the "woman yelling at a cat" meme. A white cat is apparently seated at a table in front of a plate of vegetables.
A diagram of Vile Stinkhorn, some sort of alien octopus creature, engaging an action feature in which "stench" is extruded through a hole in his bottom. It gives the impression that Stinkhorn has clogged every toilet he has every used.
Artemis and Moon from Beast Wars II.
A bag of KFC-themed "Colonel's Favorite Jellybeans". It purports to contain a mix of jelly beans flavored like fried chicken, sweet corn, and gravy. In actuality they taste like depression, despair, and death.
Cropped screenshot of a notification that I've been added to an "Attie Haters" list.
A Facebook news story about special showings of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in IMAX theaters. The image is of people in a theater looking at an IMAX screen. On the screen is an AI image of Ricardo Montalban as Khan, standing on the nonsensical bridge of a Star Trek ship that has never existed. Khan's flowing mane of hair has been replaced with a cut that would be conservative on his Fantasy Island character Mr. Roarke. Rather than Khan's famous bare chest, the AI has committed the unconscionable sacrilege of putting him in a turtleneck. In effect, all visual personality has been stolen from the characters, and he just looks like Bland Generic Star Trek Extra #2.
A photo of part of page 34 of This Book Is All Elite. A quote by MJF is highlighted in red: "That was my job... to go out there and make the people hate me."
A Transformers Botbots figure that turns from a pixelated Autobot symbol into a robot.
Carded Cyber-Grip figure from the Terminator 2 line by Kenner, circa mid-90s. The figure is dressed in a black bodysuit with gold "cyborg" patches all over him. His head is exposed and has some weird cyborg doodad over the right ear with hoses that go into to his forehead, his right eye socket, and his mouth. The left arm is also completely exposed and appears to be organic. The right arm is an oversized golden claw arm.
Bobby from Kpop Demon Hunters, looking at HUNTR/X with adoration and saying "I love my girls".
The comic book Legacy #1 by Majestic Press. Some very 90s 2nd-class Image artwork of a guy who resembles but is not Superman standing behind an ankle-height hill. Behind him are some clouds and in those clouds is the spectral face of a bearded not-Superman.
Three AEW wrestlers: Timeless Toni Storm, Orange Cassidy, and Mina Shirakawa. Toni and Mina are (kayfabe?) lovers, but also Orange and Toni have been showing incredible chemistry and Mina hasn't been pleased. Orange came to their rescue as they were outnumbered and jumped, he has an arm around each of them. Toni is basically passed out, Orange is looking at her inscrutably... and Mina is rolling her eyes as she nods.
An AEW wrestling ring. MJF is on a microphone talking to Bandido. In the crowd directly behind MJF, a fan holds a sign that says "MJF blows goats. I have proof."
AEW tag team JetSpeed, composed of "The Jet" Kevin Knight" and "Speedball" Mike Bailey, during a photo shoot. Bailey is wearing some of Knight's gear due to losing his luggage, and they're posing in a crude Dragon Ball Z fusion dance pose to lampshade it.
Leo curled up in loaf mode.
Luna, an all-black domestic shorthair cat. She's laying down, looking vaguely in the direction of the camera.
Movie screen showing the title "Attack of THE the Eye Creatures". The silhouettes of the MST3K hosts are in the foreground.
A rectangular mirror in a wooden frame, lying on the floorboards of an attic. There is a significant layer of dust on the mirror. There are no visible ghosts or demons in the mirror... yet.
A pumpkin painted pink, with the face of Batcat. Ears and wings have been added to complete the look.
A comic book panel showing Dr Bad Vibes from Marvel. A balding man with a mustache and glasses who looks quite panicked. He's holding a cardboard box labeled "Earthquake Machine" with a big red "button" painted on. He greatly resembles Peter David, who wrote the Hulk vs. Venom comic this panel comes from.
