Two Slack channels: “pets rock” and “pet rocks”
The poster for the Netflix series Big Mistakes, featuring Dan Levy and Taylor Ortega.
A screenshot of the Kindle listing for books 1-9 of the Wheel of Time series. All but Book 2 are variations on the same theme, with a landscape or castle-y background overlaid identically with the title and series-standard “serpent and wheel” symbol. Book 2 instead features a shot of two characters from the live action TV series, looking nothing like the other books.
A 9-by-14 grid of blue spirograph patterns, each consisting of two lines forming star- or flower-shaped loops with varying numbers of "petals". Many are visually very different from one another, while some have only subtle distinctions from other near-identical patterns in the grid, but each is technically unique.

A four-legged wireframe sodaconstructor "creature" constructed of interconnected static and flexing struts, walking back and forth, alternating direction each time it hits a wall.
A screenshot of an active call on my phone, with the timer at 01:43:47. It’s currently 6:31pm.
A copy of “I Want That Twink Obliterated!” alongside a couple bookmarks and a card for the Proud Geek bookstore, all sitting atop just-opened cardboard packaging.
Two holes in a stone wall, each featuring a pigeon sitting near the front. A third pigeon is peeking out from the back of one of the holes.
A screenshot with Unison code on the left and the Safari devtools open on the right. The Unison code includes a demo function that handles and uses the `Ask` ability, and then bundles that function up into a WebAssembly module to serve. The devtools window has loaded the resulting page, and shows the results of calling the demo function from the browser console. Full text of the code and console follows. Code: demo.incrementOnAsk : Nat -> Nat demo.incrementOnAsk start = go n body = handle body() with cases { result } -> result { ask -> resume } -> Debug.trace "providing n:" n go (n + 1) do resume n go start do ask + ask + ask demo.run : '{IO, Exception} URI demo.run = do module = warp do expose "incrementOnAsk" [VNat] (Some VNat) demo.incrementOnAsk run.local.serve do files = Map.fromList [ ("/demo.wasm", WasmModule.toBytes true module) , ("/loader.js", Text.toUtf8 jsLoader) ] service = serveFiles files do HttpResponse.ok (Body (Text.toUtf8 defaultPageHTML)) ServiceName.assign (named "wasm") service Console session: > demo.exports.incrementOnAsk(1n) trace: providing n: 1n trace: providing n: 2n trace: providing n: 3n < 6

A still from Adventure Time. Finn is pressing a goose and a fox together with the caption "Now kiiiiiiss". The animals each have the face of a Baldur's Gate 3 character overlaid: one is Astarion, the other is Gale. Dan is all about bringing that gay shit to Faerûn.

Outer Wilds title artwork depicting the silhouettes of the protagonist and their spaceship in the light of a campfire on a tiny wooded planet, smoke drifting up into a field of stars.
Wallpaper from a pub in Scotland featuring a thistle motif. The thistles themselves are a deep purple over lighter green-grey leaves, but the warm light washes out most of the color.
