Writer/composer inordinaire. Quixotically attempting to make art while the earth dies screaming. Neuroatypical mopey mf. Wife once called me “Weird Al Jourgenson” and I am unable to refute it in good faith. https://linktr.ee/DeadWeirdo

Dim lighting and dark colors make up a functionally insignificant background. Dave Foley, as Hecubus, is slightly down stage in some sort of evil trance. Meanwhile Kevin McDonald, as Simon, is in the foreground, shouting evilly. Rest assured it is very goth.
The scientist chimpanzee Dr. Zira stands next to the priestly orangutan Dr. Zaius on the outskirts of the Forbidden Zone.
Robert Blake smiling sinisterly as Lost Highway’s creepy little mystery man.
A still of Director Gordon Cole from Twin Peaks The Return, played by David Lynch
Marley and Marley from Muppets Christmas Carol played by Statler and Waldorf. Statler looks at Waldorf while he speaks. The implication here is that Jason is slowly aging into a portentous spirit, not unlike Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol.

Trump as a garbage pail kid sits on a gold toilet pulling shreds of the constitution as toilet paper. the card reads “tumultuous trump”
A penguin whacks the shit out of a young Bill Gates with a baseball bat in the dynamic soviet propaganda adjacent style of a KMFDM album cover. This is because it was made by BRUTE! who does those album covers.

2 of the bearded men of Space Station 11, here played by David Wain and Robert Ben Garant, sit at a table with coffee and doughnuts. If memory serves, their commander (played off screen by Michael Showalther) has just claimed that beards cannot be grown in space and the bearded men of Space Station 11 must therefor be aliens. Ben Garant appears to be rebutting his point, possibly with the information that Space Station 11 has an artificial atmosphere and therefor doesn’t count as space, disconfirming their commander’s belief that their beards are a biological impossibility.
jesus how do i describe this? there’s a straight laced and extremely aw shucks Canadian mountie and a knucklehead loud mouth Chicago cop and, due to some sort of exchange program i think, they are partners on the streets of Chicago. starring Paul Gross and David Marciano. This was how CBS was competing with Must See TV Thursdays at 8. Once Mad About You gave way to Friends they mercifully moved it to Friday, opposite Unsolved Mysteries. Tagline: What happens when men from different sides of the border work on the same side of the law? A new direction in justice.
A package of Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies, a real thing that really exists. These are gummy Shaq heads in peach, berry punch, and orange flavors. currently $1.79 at Ollie’s Discount Store.
Direct and stark evidence of media illiteracy in the form of a Monopoly Avatar Edition board game. I suppose Minecraft would have been a worse tie-in, but Monopoly is certainly the second worst I can think of.
this isn’t my copy (lord knows where that went); i just found the photo online. it’s a black box with a lil guy at the mouth of a cave in the foreground and a big ass red dragon coming out of the background. The box reads “The NEW easy to master Dungeons and Dragons” up top and “Epic Adventures with Wizards, Dragons and Magic” on the bottom. It bears the TSR logo and the old ampersand D&D logo.
Dick Miller sits uneasy upon a throne, paper crown upon his head, plunger in his hand, in a still frame from A Bucket of Blood, a movie about an exceptionally fraudulent buffoon in a fraudulent art scene.
Donald Trump, in the Cabbage Patch parody style associated with the Garbage Pail Kids, prepares to literally wipe his ass with The US Constitution, which has been shredded in such a way to fit it on a toilet paper roll. The placard reads “Tumultuous Trump”
David Attenborough sits on a log in a field, presumably describing the dangerously over abundant centrist.
Nigel Tufnel and Marty Di Bergi stand in Nigel’s guitar and amp room admiring his collection. Nigel has just explained his customer Marshall amps go to 11 instead of 10 making them “1 louder”. Marty asks why they wouldn’t just make 10 louder to which Nigel stands silently for a beat and proudly repeats “these go to 11!”
Left to right: Joey Arias, David Bowie, Klaus Nomi David Bowie’s 1979 SNL performance. They are all wearing strange suits and heavy clownish makeup.
Matthew Lesko (the free money infomercial guy) sits calmly in a chair wearing a cream colored suit covered in orange question marks. His shirt is orange and his bowtie, while mostly orange and green, has like 8 colors in it.
the comically over the top head explosion from the opening of the film Scanners
George Berger, portrayed by Treat Williams, from the terrible Miloš Foreman adaptation of Hair sings with other hippies backing him. Speaking of Treat Williams, have you had a chance to check out the horror action flick Deep Rising? Much better Treat Williams vehicle. Not as good as Dead Heat, a supernatural buddy cop film that pairs him Joe Piscapo of all people, but better than Hair for sure.
Claude Hooper Bukowski from Miloš Foreman’s insufficient yet somehow simultaneously bloated adaptation of the musical Hair.
Austin Powers (and friend) drive a steamroller toward Michael McDonald who has adopted a posture of terrified resignation in spite of the slow moving steamroller being nearly 50 feet away.
it’s the meme of that struggling kid with the veiny forehead. i don’t know its proper name.
“you wouldn’t drink a changeling” in the style of the old “you wouldn’t download a car” anti piracy ad which ironically stole The Prodigy’s No Man Army for the music.
Pictured is a Garbage Pail Kids card from early 2016 titled “Tumultuous Trump” which shows Donald Trump sitting on a gold toilet preparing to use the constitution as toilet paper. it’s a terrible photo because i took it in total darkness. because my power’s out. because our infrastructure is doing great.
Jay Johnston, Mr Show alum who worked with Patton on multiple projects over the last few decades. Today he is known for losing his role as Jimmy Pesto on Bob’s Burgers for having attended the 1/6 insurrection. Here he is dressed as the Qanon Shaman at a party. Strangely he appears to have been attending quite a few functions within LA comedy circles without issue. Or at least that’s the impression we are left with because most of his known collaborators have been ostensibly silent on the issue. Couple this with Patton’s most recent statements on Dave Chapelle, and his continued work with known union busters Disney and Stoopid Monkey and you’ve got a real unflattering picture of hypocrisy building, huh? Damn shame, that.
An extremely young David Bowie posing as a sad mime. A real thing that happened. Only the space around his right eye and the right side of his mouth are painted, specifically like that of a sad clown. Le clown triste, if you will.
Bêla Lugosi, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff all holding weapons and looking suspicious.
TikTok is not available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the US. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. (highlighted) We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned! In the meantime you can still log in to download your data.

The Lionel Hutz advertisement meme but it says “Capitalism; Breeds Innovation; No Content Slop” but it’s been marked with red pen to read “Capitalism; Breeds Innovation?; No, Content Slop!”
A pile of ttrpg zines lay in a loose and disorganized pile on a fake wood table. the zines are as follows from left to right; Mörk Borg Cult Feretory, Pirate Borg, Swamp Troll Witch(es), and both volumes of the Mörk Borg compatible Books of Misery. My apologies for not being more descriptive with the text here but not only are the covers mostly obscured but what is visible is a mixture of overwhelmingly busy (as an aesthetic choice) and too detailed for me to do justice.
The cover of a book entitled “The Dreams in the Workhouse: A Short Scenario in Federal Prison” by Dead Weirdo Studios. The title is up top, accompanied by the Miskatonic Repository logo, the authorship is at the bottom. A grate in a dark stone room with blue and purplish highlights is positioned more or less in the center of the cover. Daylight of yellow and green pours in from the outside.
An altered screen cap of Mickey Mouse from the NES game “Adventures in the Magic Kingdom” of Mickey standing in the middle of a blue screen over a dialog box that reads “IT ACTUALLY MAKES PERFECT SENSE THAT ONCE IT BECAME SOCIALLY UNTENABLE TO WEAR OTHER CULTURES AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PERSONALITY GWEN STEFANI JUST GAVE UP ON THE WHOLE HAVING A PERSONALITY THING ENTIRELY”
Beetlejuice from the NES game saying “I don’t care who did it, I’m just glad the piece of shit is dead.”
A dialog box from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ninja Turtles NES game that has Splinter saying “3 of the 4 Red Hot Chili Peppers are sex offenders”
A shot from some pokémon game. idk which one. not a fan. the pokémon doctor trainer guy(?) is saying “The old world is dead and the new one is yet to be born. Now is the time of pocket monsters”
A black and white still of Jim Varney as Auntie Nelda. It is unclear whether he is in character as Ernest P. Worrell as Auntie Nelda, or if Auntie Nelda is her own entity, as was sometimes the case. Technically she is Ernest’s great aunt, but sometimes he pretends to be her as a disguise, most famously in the classic art house masterpiece Ernest Goes to Jail. Whatever the case may be, Auntie Nelda is an old woman in a shawl, cloche hat, pearls, and a neck brace. She takes no shit. Although canonically she was killed by Metallica.
4 cd cases lying on a closed laptop. They are, from top left, David Bowie’s Earthling (saw him live on this tour), Fantômas’ Amenaza al Mundo, Pigface’s A New High in Low, and Primus’ Brown Album. The cover for Earthling depicts Bowie in a long jacket made to look like a battle worn Union Jack, standing with his back to camera in the middle of a green and pleasant field. The cover for Fantômas depicts drawings and a still from an old serial of the French proto super villain Fantômas, meant to look like an old theater card. He wears a deliberately vaguely featured mask and a retro-futuristic jump suit. A Tyrone Power type fires an automatic weapon in the bottom left and a lady lies in a bikini on the bottom right. Pigface cover is a bluish tinted drawing of an eye in the background with the word Pig displayed in the center of a triangle drawn around the iris, the letters f, a, and c displayed in the corners of the triangle, and the letter e displayed on a star below the triangle. all are lower case but the P and G for some reason. And the Brown Album is basically what it says on the tin. Primus is written in all caps in front of a brownish gold oval topped with a sun design with a P in the middle. Under it in all caps with the same tone background plaque (but rectangular) is the words Brown Album. This is all on a brown vertically stripped slipcase which slides over a brownish gold opaque jewel case.
On May 26, 1947, the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a memo stating, "With regard to the picture It's a Wonderful Life, [redacted] stated in substance that the film represented rather obvious attempts to discredit bankers by casting Lionel Barrymore as a 'scrooge-type' so that he would be the most hated man in the picture. This, according to these sources, is a common trick used by Communists. [In] addition, [redacted] stated that, in his opinion, this picture deliberately maligned the upper class, attempting to show the people who had money were mean and despicable characters." Film historian Andrew Sarris observed as "curious" that "the censors never noticed that the villainous Mr. Potter gets away with robbery without being caught or punished in any way".
A car tire stands alone in the road, a corvid in front of it, a police car behind it, a motel in the background. Above is the word “Rubber” in red all caps, a tire tread mark across it. This is the post for the film about an inexplicably sentient killer tire.
This photo depicts the cover of one of the Call of Cthulhu scenarios I’ve been working on. It’s a black and white (I’m too poor for color copies) photo of light pouring through a barred grate into a dark room. At the top of the page is the title “The Dreams in the Workhouse” with the Miskatonic Repository logo next to it (which is not yet official obviously) and at the bottom are the words “Dead Weirdo Studios”. That’s me. I’m Dead Weirdo Studios.
This is a chart showing the various characters of Twin Peaks and their relationships, at least by the end of the pilot. I’m sorry but I wouldn’t know where to begin to meaningfully depict such a chart in text. There’s a much more useful text version on the Wikipedia page “List of Twin Peaks Characters” though it likely contains even more spoilers.
What appears to be a bottomless pit in the ground.
A copy of John Gardner’s Grendel from the 1970s. It’s a novel that is told from the perspective of the monster from Beowulf.
A rueful grinch looks down on Whoville with confusion and disdain.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
Homer Simpson, emerging from a swamp, covered in mud. If memory serves, in this episode Homer got stung in the mouth by a bunch of bees so he couldn’t speak, lost all his clothes somehow, then got covered in mud thereby, obviously, was immediately mistaken for Bigfoot.
Anthony Cumia, 65, (formerly of The Opie & Anthony Show) interviews literal nazi Nick Fuentes. If you haven’t been keeping up with him post O&A, a few years ago he caught a DV charge for beating the absolute hell out of his partner (a woman less than half his age for the record) and allegedly attempting to choke her to death. He was recently spotted at the bizarre & pathetic gathering adjacent to Fuentes’ canceled AFPAC rally in Detroit, alongside Sneako and Fuentes, neither of whom appeared to present clear signs of knowing or caring who he was.
The Great & Holy Reverend Franklin Graham just broke his silence on the arrest of President Trump. "The left is scared to death of Donald Trump. We need to pray for this nation, because we're about to lose it. God is the only one who can fix these problems." The sad truth is Democrats want President Trump arrested & behind bars because he stood up for Christianity & the unborn more than any other President in American history. They can't stand that President Trump defended Christianity against the Woke Mob
A screen capture of the PS1 game Twisted Metal. Sweet Truck’s ice cream truck collides with an untrailered semi truck.
Stewart Stevenson from Beavis & Butt-head, in his trademark Winger shirt looking like the unbearable fucking dweeb he is. AKA a young Ted Cruz.
A volley is a number of bullets up to or equal to the firer’s Submachine Gun (SMG) or Machine Gun (MG) skill divided by 10 and rounded down: simply read the tens digit of the skill value. Regardless of skill, a full auto volley is never fewer than 3 bullets. For example: a character with Firearms (SMG) 47% would fire four bullets in a volley. A character can fire full auto (multiple volleys) in a single round until their ammunition runs out, although the chances of hitting reduce after the first volley has been fired. For burst fire: one pull of the trigger fires 2 or 3 bullets, this being considered the best combination of accuracy and conservation of ammunition. This is simply treated as a volley of 2 or 3 shots (depending on the firearm; the user’s skill plays no role in determining the number of bullets). When firing semi-auto (ie. multi single shots): apply a penalty die to each shot, making a skill roll for each bullet fired, just as when firing multiple rounds from a handgun
Lisa Simpson, stirring in bed due to a dream in which she is pleading with George Washington to “Let me help you, George Washington!”
The goofy gremlin from Gremlins 2 covered in idk pasta or something? Anyway, the comparison I’m trying to draw is between this ludicrous buffoon and Elon Musk.
