Roy Kent from Ted Lasso in a black suit with a black shirt and tie sitting in a fancy sports commentator's studio replying, "And I hope he dies of the incurable condition of being a little bitch."
An AI image of a white man on a brown horse. The man is dressed in revolutionary era clothing, including a blue coat and a tricorn hat. He is holding a flag that says "Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Registration is Expiring!" as his horse gallops down a cobblestone street. Brick buildings rise up on either side of him, along with what LOOK to be electric streetlamps. The whole picture looks oddly...plastic? Like it's a picture someone took of a cheesy diorama.
Two borderless alt-art Planeswalker cards by Qistina Khalidah. One is of Ral Zarek, Guest Lecturer and the other is Professor Dellian Fel.
A plastic keychain that had a modified Liliana, Dreadhorde General card from Magic the Gathering. There is also some kind of liquid inside the plastic that is filled with purple and gold glitter. With the way the card has been modified, the foreground of the card (Liliana Vess, her Planeswalker abilities text, the card titles and creature type bar) are attached to the front, with the card's background attached to the back of it, and the glitter flows between. This 10 second video shows the movement of the glitter.

Timoclea, a Renaissance painting of a woman in a dark gown shoving a man in a long red cloak into a well, with the text "sometimes you gotta throw the whole man away" above Timoclea's head.
A Discord comment that says, "Also, they really hammered home that the Echoverse is Jace's perfect and idealized world; he wanted Chandra to be a little more cool-headed (and didn't have Kiran die to the Consulate) and, presumably Liliana to be... idk, nice I guess... But then there's Echo!Vrask where it's like, 'Hey babe, meet the you of my dreams!' Anyway, I audibly hiss every time I pass a Jace poster."
A friendship bracelet on the back of a light brown hand. The words "shut up snake" are spelled out in letter beads and surrounded by orange beads
An x-ray of my right foot in 2015. A bunion is deforming the big toe. Colors have helpfully been applied to show the different bones of the foot. Yellow shows the metatarsals, blue is over the tarsals, purple is the navicular bone, and red shows the talus and calcaneus bones. Please note how present and accounted for all these bones are!
A picture of a woman with light brown skin sitting on a beige sofa that is...well, let's be honest, not that far off from her skin tone. Rough to be high yella sometimes, okay? She's dimpling at the camera like she's trying NOT to smile (and failing MISERABLY). She's got brown eyes behind rectangular glasses and her hair falls is deep brown with a few streaks of silver, pulled in a loose ponytail over one shoulder. She's wearing an ornate gold necklace with a large red "gemstone" in the middle, and the bodice of her black dress has a deep-V in it, covered by see-through black fabric. Below that are several straps that come together in the front. Her arms are bare and one is resting on the bare skin of her thigh because that rest of that dress (unshown in the photo) has a very high slit and she is, as per usual, sitting bisexually on a chair with little sense of decorum or propriety. In the background there's a table covered in bottles, another of the skintone-sofas and the lower halves of several people who are chatting with one another.
A wonderfully drawn picture of a woman with light brown skin lounging bisexually on a throne. She's in a black gown with a red lining and high slits; one leg is visible up to mid-thigh. The bodice has a deep V that is covered with black see-through fabric with straps underneath. This is paired with an ornate necklace around her throat and a pair of red heels. Her dark brown hair is wavy and falls to her shoulders, she's wearing glasses with square frames, and she's resting her head against the back of one hand. Her expression is amused and entertained, eyes trained on on the book floating in front of her. The book has a skeletal hand on the back cover, her other hand is raised and surrounded by golden light, she's obviously using magic to turn the pages. The vibe is very "dark queen on her 15 minute break." The throne she's sitting on has fanged skulls on the arm rests, and a bright yellow eye that is also looking at the book, quite literally reading over her shoulder. Fabric from a black cloak spills over the arms to the stone floor, which has a thin red carpet directly beneath the throne and descending down the stairs that lead to the presumed dais upon which the throne sits. The legs of the throne end in skeletal feet up on their tiptoes, insinuating at a) the throne skitters around, and b) it goes tappy-tappy-tap as it does. Her right foot has the golden swirl and sparkles of magic around it, too. There is a random bone lying off to the side on the first stair; there is quite literally magic--DEEP SIGH--afoot.
A tweet/skeet/whatever from @foreignpolicy that says "It is precisely China's lack of military presence in the greater Middle East that has lured the United States into war, writes Ho Inge Bekkevold." Included is a picture of three members of the military wading through ankle-deep water towards the left side of the screen. One of them has their assault rifle raised, the other two have theirs angled downwards. In the background is a beautiful picture of the sky, with the sun making the bottom of a few clouds glow gold in what is almost certainly peak unintentional irony.

Owlin Shieldmage is a Magic the Gathering card that costs three generic mana, 1 white mana, and 1 black mana. The background of the image is of the campus of Strixhaven in the setting sun, and in the foreground is an owlin in the black and white robes of Silverquill, creating a shield out of concentric circles of what appears to be smoke. It is a Bird Warlock creature with 3 power and 3 toughness and the rules text states "Flying. Ward--Pay 3 life. (Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, counter it under that player pays 3 life.)" It's card 210/275 and the artist is Raoul Vitale. The flavor text reads: Aim higher next time
A green Magic Card called Professor of Zoomancy. The picture is a bear wearing robes with all sorts of pouches and decoration on it, with a lizard in one paw and another small creature on the back of the other. She has a multi-lensed monocle and multiple little creatures climbing on him and in his pack. The card costs three generic and one green mana to cast and 4 power and 3 toughness. Her rules text reads, "When Professor of Zoomancy enters the battlefield, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with 'When this creature dies, you gain 1 life.'" The flavor text reads, "She's brilliant, if a bit overbearing." The card is 140/275 and the artist is Rudy Siswanto
A still from the Secrets of Strixhaven Debut video. It is the same clean-cut young white man from the previous skeet, except now he's talking ( "The biggest event was the Phyrexian invasion in--") and onscreen next to him is the text "Reggie Valk: Senior Game Designer"
A young, clean-cut white man in a gray t-shirt, sitting at a table. He's holding a few Magic Cards, and smiling brightly at something to the side of him, out of view. In all, he just looks very happy to be there.
The incomparable Anjali Bhimani is smiling with me in a Gisa cosplay.
A mixed-race woman doing a Gisa Cecani cosplay wearing a black gown, a silver headdress with a black veil and carrying a shovel with a skull in the center of it, decorated to look bloody. In this picture, she's waving to the camera with crazy eyes, mimicking the Magic card, Gisa, Hellraiser.
Two long poles wrapped in tape meant to mimic wood grain. One of those poles is actually a cane, you can see the bottom and the top peeking out from either side of one of the poles. They are leaning against a brown couch, with a bright red blanket and throw pillow on it and next to a wooden tray table covered in random stuff.
A front porch with two welcome mats and a piece of cardboard. The cardboard is nearly covered with black Flex-Seal and there are dark patches where it sprayed beyond the edge cardboard and onto the mats instead.
Two skulls are lying on cardboard. One is cut out from paper, directly behind. It is one that is cut out from black EVC foam. The creator behind this is far more proud of the results than she really should be.
A wooden urn with a bas relief of a football player on it rests on cardboard, holding down two pieces of foam being glued together (foam not visible). The plaque of the urn says, "George Howland. Loving father, partner, friend. Go Raiders"
A wicker basket rests on a burgundy carpet with gold swirls. Two dismembered (vinyl) hands peek out from either side of the basket.
A copy of Blood on the Clocktower, still in its plastic wrapping, resting on a maroon rug with yellow-gold accents.
James Franco, on the gallows next to an older man with white hair and beard, both of them wearing nooses, looking at someone off-camera, and asks with a smirk, "First time?"
The rules I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. A total bloodbath. The referee would have stepped in by now but they had knocked him out with a steel chair. The only others watching were either fascists themselves or people trying to fight fascism with the power of love and kindness and they weren't having a great go of it either. I kept trying to explain in between haymakers that we were better than this and on top of that it wasn't likely to be ruled on favorably as far as the courts. None of it helped. I was on my knees now bleeding profusely from the mouth and nose. It spilled out of me onto the snow and a pattern that if you sort of squinted at it from the right bandage looked like a cartoon heart. See that I pointed. Look at how beautiful the world can be I tried to say through my broken teeth. Alright well now he was pulling out a gun. I didn't think we were allowed to do that.
A message from Donald Trump that says, "...the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing, and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense. Based on the attacked clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital." The words "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer" and "but is now recovering in the hospital" are highlighted in yellow. Below that message are three photos from the clip. The first shows two ICE agents who are standing outside of a maroon SUV. One of those ICE agents has his gun out and is pointing it at the driver side window. The caption "shoots woman" is in the bottom left. The middle picture is of the ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good. He is a white man but his lower face is covered by a mask to protect his identity. He appears to be in perfect health; there are no injuries and he is standing up. The lower left caption says, "Walks away from woman as she bleeds out." The last picture is a picture of a light-colored SUV on the road, driving past two houses. Below the pictures is the quote, "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. --George Orwell, 1984"
A CNN breaking news story headline that says "Update after ICE officer kills woman in Minneapolis."
The image from Oath of Liliana, only she is dressed in white instead of purple. And in shards throughout the picture are images from Jaime Jones' version of Liliana, The Last Hope. The card is meant to be a stand-in, so the name is "Test Cardname" that costs 2 generic and 2 white mana. It continues to say "Creature - Subtype First Ability (This is placeholder text that explains what this ability word does on the battlefield.) Example of another line of ability text goes here. The card has 3 power and 3 toughness.
A slide featuring Magic The Gathering character Saheeli Rai. The picture used is from Saheeli, Sublime Artificer, a brown-skinned woman with wavy, black hair up in a ponytail. She's wearing a colorful outfit with many gold accents and her arm is extended, in the middle of magically creating some new artifact. The joking caption under the picture says "Thank you for subscribing to ServoFacts" The text says of the slide is as follows: Saheeli Rai makes cool stuff. Goddamn there are like 5 different planeswalkers that have "artificer" as their gimmick Anyway, she's surprisingly well-adjusted for a Planeswalker. But doesn't have a lot of impact on plot Almost as if WotC pays lip service to diversity but very rarely lets diverse characters take center stage, instead relegating them to supporting roles in favor of their extremely white central cast in the TED talk I will...

A screenshot of a conversation on Discord. Anoriand says: "It's inspired by the blockchain" is such a great sentence Because it proves you can just say things "This is my pudding that I made for the family gathering. It's inspired by dogs." What does that mean? I don't know! Does it work? Not remotely! But we're REVOLUTIONIZING PUDDING And booksomewench replies: See? We're also revolutionizing language! It used to be that words were beholden to meanings! Now nothing means anything. You can say what you want and have it mean literally anything in the world! Finally, we are freed from the chains of old fashioned communication and a new dawn has risen
Three panels of a bald white man in a blue winter vest and a flannel shirt saying "He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."
A mixed race woman with (very) messy long brown braids is wearing a gray KN-95 mask and a purple Huntrix sweatshirt. Out the window of the plane, there are pictures of trucks and various vehicles on an airplane tarmac.
A picture of a plane wing takes up most of the view. Some white clouds scud overhead and vague colors can be seen around the wing. Probably water? But maybe land? Hard to tell.
A Japanese man in a suit looks thoughtful as he suggests, "It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help."
A white man in a pink KN-95 mask and a blue button down shirt, open, over a black tee shirt sitting next to a mixed race woman, her hair in a loose braid over her shoulder wearing a light blue mask and a light blue sweatshirt with the 90s Sailor Moon logo and the 90s Inner Senshi.
