Astronomer, doing astronomy things. Rarely talk about astronomy.

A book cover: _Cloudy with a Chance of Starships_ by Seven Rasmussen. I thought the release date was sometime in August, but w/e.
One of the windows into the fish tank. Two big fish are clearly visible, and there are lots of little ones, too. This is at a lull between kids pointing and shouting about the sharks.
Tumblr user milkbreath crashing out back when tumblr allowed other people to edit posts. The sequence of posts is 1) "i was supposed to go to bed an hour ago dont tell my mom" with a gif of a dancing milk carton; 2) "my mom says i have to go to bed now which one of u meaners told" with a gif of a toppled milk carton spilling; 3) "who the fudge changed 'fudgers' to 'meaners'"; 4) "WHO CHANGED IT FROM FUDGERS TO FUDGERS I WILL KISS THE POPSICLE DONT TICKLE ME JAMBOREE". This, and some shenanigans with John Green led to tumblr updating the site to prevent posts being edited by other users.
Lying Cat from Saga, a cat that knows when someone is lying. Lying Cat is saying, "Lying," indicating that it has heard a lie. Lying Cat looks quite angry at this, suggesting that the lie in question is quite egregious.
Griffin McElroy "you know".gif
Lying Cat, from Saga, stating what we all know is true: the NYTimes is lying.
Hastily edited image turning Reba into The Joker (from Batman). She now has the iconic green hair and purple suit, as well as a bloody mouth. I tried to turn the corn dog into a stick of dynamite, but I don't think that comes through without this alt text. I couldn't remember what Joker Venom looks like, so I made it a disturbing yellow drink. Sorry, Reba.
The Simpsons scene where Dolph takes a memo on his Newton, "Beat up Martin" which then uses the Newton's advanced tech to turn it into the text string "Eat up Martha".
Five panels at the left, where Jennifer Walters (She-Hulk) explains the situation to Tony Stark, and tells him that although he has lawyers (partially robotic), he's going to do the right thing and write a check to her client to settle the case she's bringing against him. He agrees, after calling her magnificent. Which she is, of course, as shown in the one panel on the right that stretches the entire page height.
An emoji mashup of a smiley face and fireworks.
The "Tuesday again?" meme dog, panel two, indicating: "no problem.........."
Emoji mashup of an android emoji friend carrying an apple of comparable size. If you have an imagination, the curve of the apple by the stem looks like a mouth for the emoji friend.
Yet another snowflake, this one simple and geometric.
A badly made snowflake that has snakes on it. It says "snek".
Paper snowflake that kind of has a santa vibe.
Blank Principal Skinner (from The Simpsons) "Out of Touch" meme.
Tweet by @agraybee from twitter stating "Every lifelong Catholic I've ever met is like 'I think we're supposed to give this food to poor people' and every adult convert is like 'the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states women shouldn't have driver's licenses.'"
The 'weird-ass mystical shit" card, and the Giuseppe card, which looks like a pokemon card.
A snowy day.
