Letterman. The greatest superhero. Voiced by a young Gene Wilder in the 70s! God I miss him.
Guardian headline about Congress passing 10-day extension of FISA. Meanwhile Mike Johnson is slipping quietly away with his hand tucked inside his suit jacket pocket, as if he's just received a bribe.
A "finish your look with" collage of stuff. The high-top beige shoes are fine. The bracelet (I think it's a bracelet) is maybe fine, whatever. But there's also some pretty awful clutch-type thing and then some kind of loafer that may be snakeskin, I don't know. It all just says "you have enough money to be stupid, why not be even stupider?"
The "What a stupid time to be alive" comic. It's nice. A woman standing by a window looking at a cityscape, arms crossed, lost in thought, saying "What a stupid time to be alive." What nobody talks about is that there are what appear to be faux shutters lining the window *on the inside.* It's distracting but only if you think about it.
Two side-by-side op-ed video links from the NYT, with these headlines: "Trump Says Opening the Strait of Hormuz 'Should Be Easy'. Will it?" and "Did Jesus Rise From the Dead?"

Spiderman pointing thing
Guardian text: “Michael Rappaport, an actor who in 2001 appeared in Dr Doolittle 2 and now hosts a podcast, has been a frequent critic of Mamdani.”
Book cover for Invisibilia, short story collection. Cover shows an invisible guy in a blazer with his hat falling off. Also a nice looking mug of coffee. All in all, looks like something you’ll want to read.
Sad abandoned swing set in the woods
The greatest toy of all-time, the Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.
Hideously bad macarons
Light fixture that looks like a very serious monkey holding a torch
Note which reads: Old guy story. From red notebook. Something about dogs. They weren’t allowed as kids. So they had an imaginary dog they took turns caring for. Then one day he told Roger the dog was dead."

Dog, looking at you and not giving any fucks, with a tennis ball in her mouth
Sweet dog walking on the beach at sunrise
