Frinkiac screenshot from S8·E14 (13:53), "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" Adults and kids gathered around the TV. Nelson, Lisa, Milhouse, and Bart are sitting on the floor. An increasingly agitated Milhouse balls his hand into a fist and demands to know "When are they going to start pulling down letters??" (I edited the caption, which of course originally referred to Itchy and Scratchy's arrival at the fireworks factory.)
Photo of my friend's mortar board decorated to say: WISDOM CHECK 26! In Washington Husky purple and gold, of course
Photo of a mirror in a Sasquatch emporium. It's the classic "Patty" silhouette and it's basically life-size. Me with my phone plus a bunch of Sadquatch and other Olympic peninsula merch are visible in the mirror. The plush banana slugs are particularly adorable

Reddit screenshot, from the KnowledgeFight subreddit: cedarkz • 1h ago What has caused this? Infowars is ending only in name due to Alex simply rebranding. Is KF ending for an unrelated reason? mattr1198 • 40m ago It seems like there may have been a bit of a falling out over the Onion opinions. Jordan appears, from his rant and the final episode, that he explicitly finds what the Onion has done to be entirely immoral and a disservice to the victims. Dan doesn’t think so and thinks, if you’re going to parody or take down InfoWars, Tim Onion and the Onion are the best people to do it, especially given had the Onion not bid on it, it would’ve ended up in Roger Stone’s hands and right back to Alex for pennies on the dollar. Both are right in some ways, but this seems to be a moral difference between the two that makes the show unable to continue.

Close-up photo of my now nearly empty can of Celsius Live Fit Retro Vibe Sparkling Sherbet Slush Edition It also boasts: ESSENTIAL ENERGY ACCELERATES METABOLISM BURNS BODY FAT
Screenshot of part of the ebay.com homepage as seen from my desktop browser. For National Coin Week 2026, there are a bunch of thumbnail images with really icky generative AI/YouTube Shorts/general slop vibes. Deeply unpleasant. There seem to be gambling angles as well. I find it hateful to behold, so sorry for inflicting it on the world.

Photo of a pair of hoop earrings fashioned from guitar strings and strung with grayish-blue apatite crystal chips. Apparently this stone is associated with the throat chakra ("I communicate effectively & with ease") but I will have to take Hart Strings Art's word for it as I am not a chakra girlie.

Photograph of a bottle of Töst Rosé held aloft in front of a decorated Christmas tree. (Töst is a nonalcoholic beverage that does a pretty good job of communicating the concept of "festive beverage for adults." This particular bottle is "sparkling white tea, ginger & elderberry." It's a pleasing shade of pink.)
Simpsons screenshot of Homer buying a hotdog at a cemetery while Marge looks concerned and the vendor smiles and says "Lady, he's putting my kids through college"
Photo of three plastic skulls arranged on concrete steps. The skulls are wearing Pilgrim hats fashioned from black plastic plates, black Solo cups, and yellow electrical tape (for the buckles.)

Photo. A fresh forearm tattoo under Saniderm. Tattoo depicts a male goldfinch perched on a dogwood branch against a bright blue background.
Photo of an unlit jack o' lantern. It is carved to resemble the spiral-eyes emoji.
Photo of a dog. He's a brindle hound mix, seated on a loveseat and looking out a window on a rainy day. There are some burlap "autumn leaves" strung across the window for decoration. The hound is viewed from behind, and his beautiful velvety ears are not symmetrical on his precious head. It's like they're set at a jaunty angle.
Photo taken at a No Kings protest on a dreary October afternoon. The photo focuses on a sign that is itself a photograph of David Lynch with the text: FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE
Weird chimerical emoji, smiling with flames in its eyes
Screenshot of a two-star review of George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia from a public library catalogue: "Boring as hell. Barely made it through half before I gave it up. If you want a historical snoozefest, this is the book for you!" It has one like.
Screenshot of a Signal message from my father, which reads: Welp, had to bid farewell to Star Trek because it's owned by Paramount; same now for Star Wars because it's owned by Disney, which owns ABC, which canceled Kimmel, which means... back to library books for our sole source of entertainment, I guess.
Chimera emoji of an open-mouth smiling face with flames pouring forth from its eyes
Screenshot of a Mastodon post from Matthew Haughey that itself includes a screenshot of a post of his from November 6, 2024 in which he said: "I hate to say it but our canary is now Jimmy Kimmel. If anything happens to him in the next four years, we've hit full blown fascism and need to leave to mine immediately." @mathowie's commentary from today is just "welp"
Photo of a section of the program from today's service: A Prayer for Workers Loving, Working God, On this Sunday we ask your special blessing on all people who labor, Either for pay or as volunteers, in jobs or at school. We especially pray your blessings on workers who do not have jobs amd for those whose inadequate pay does not allow them to live the full life you intend for each of us. Creator God, help us to build a new world in the midst of the old. A world where all workers are valued. A world where those who clean houses are also able to buy houses to live in. A world where those who grow food can also afford to eat their fill. A world where those who serve and care for others are, themselves, also served and cared for. We pray for the coming of a world where all workers everywhere share in the abundance that you have given us. We ask these things knowing that you give us the courage and strength to live out our faith in the workplace and the marketplace, as well as in the sanctuary. Amen.
