A green Eurorack module on a messy bench.
A screenshot from the movie "Hackers" (1995) showing actor Matthew Lillard as the character Cereal standing in front of a marked up chalkboard. His hair is pulled back into a short braid and he is wearing tiny blue wireframe glasses, a necklace with gold charms and a ripped t-shirt printed with a girl holding the hand of Jesus and the text "What happened to your hand?"
A 3D rendering of a printed circuit board tilted at an angle so both the front and back sides are visible. The board is dark green with gold flash exposed metal where the soldermask uncovers it. Dark gray integrated circuits and other SMD parts are visible on the left/front side while pots and jacks in green and gray are seen on the right/back side. The whole assembly is floating against a dark gray gradient background and colorful XYZ axis arrows are visible in the lower left.
@emilymbender His position on subjects is distorted by his personal position in society. It's a common side-effect of successful critics of society. He speaks, now, to the only people he thinks matter, but they are a narrow group of exceptionals, culled from the privileged, who he interacts most with. Success has its isolations, and he hasn't confronted this yet . . .
An animated GIF of someone holding a chicken, moving it about to demonstrate the auto-kinetic reflex which keeps the head stable as the body moves.
A photograph looking down on a cat inside an upright trashcan. The cat is a brown tabby with white on his face, neck and paws and a distinctive blaze under his left eye. He is curled up next to an empty envelope with red lettering and an address window and his fluffy dark gray tail is draped over it. He is looking directly at the camera with an alert expression. The trash can is black plastic and standing on a dark carpet.
A still image from the television program "Married with Children" showing a cluttered middle-class living room with four people. A woman with big hair is sitting on an ugly yellow sofa with a TV remote aimed off-frame while a man, girl and boy stand behind her with their arms waving about them.
A color photograph of a light-skinned man wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt with random ten-petaled flower prints. He has a floppy hat, dark-rimmed glasses and a dark strap running from shoulder to hip. His mouth is open in an expression of excitement and he's pointing at his right palm with his left forefinger. The background is a neutral gray.
A color photograph of Marvin the Paranoid Android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy showing a very rectangular, vaguely human-shaped silver robot standing in front of an eroded tan-colored landscape. The head has a prominent brow and nose with two downward-angled triangular red eyes. The thorax has a panel of indicators at chest-level and deep horizontal grooves. The arms are jointed and square-ish in cross-section with simple lobster-claw grippers for hands. The image cuts off below the waist.
A scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Eric Idle, John Cleese and Terry Gilliam (among others) dressed in dirty peasant's garb with dirt smeared on their faces and the caption "Well, she turned me into a newt!"
A still from The Blues Brothers (1980) showing the nun Sister Mary Stigmata sitting at a desk surrounded by various Catholic icons and holding a switch in her hands. She has a concerned look on her face.
A black and white cartoon drawn by Toro depicting a man in a ragged suit sitting near a fire talking to three small children. He says "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
Two photos side-by-side looking strangely similar. On the left, Keanu Reeves from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" with a blank look and a mop of dark hair. On the right, the gelfling Jen from "The Dark Crystal" with a blank look and a mop of dark hair... and mouse ears sticking through the hair.

Color photograph of a balding middle-aged man sitting at a messy desk with several computer monitors. In the background are wooden shelves loaded with books, CDs and test equipment.
A panorama photograph of a desert scene. A gnarly dead tree on the left side, snow-capped mountains on the horizon and dry, grassy scrub in the near area. Saguaro cactus in the near distance and blue sky with little fluffy clouds above.
Beaker the muppet. A long cylindrical head with a shocking red mop of hair, bug eyes and mouth open in horror. Wearing a greenish lab coat over a green and white checked shirt. His left hand is held up to his face and right hand is lower down.
Satellite view of the western coast of the northern island of Aotearoa showing the distinctive border of the newly named Te Papa-Kura-o-Taranaki. The park boundary of forest (dark green) vs grazing land (light green) is defined as a set distance from the highest peak and so is mostly circular. There is a an uneven protrusion of the park to the northwest due to a lower peak and lava flows and the western coastline of the island seems to follow a further circular pattern to the left of the park. Roads and geographical names are seen around the park in a mixture of Māori and English language.
A still from the TV series Battlestar Galactica showing Edward James Olmos as Adama in uniform against a backdrop of ceremonial banners with the caption "So say we all"
A grayscale rendering of a Eurorack synthesizer module faceplate with two columns of three knobs above, two rows of four jacks below and a three position switch in the center. There are mounting holes in the four corners, a name "E340 Cloud Generator" across the top edge and a manufacturers logo for Synthesis Technology that looks like an old circular oscilloscope screen showing a sinewave near the bottom edge.

Looking out over the wing of an airliner at a lone mountain framed by the wing below and clouds above. The mountain stands alone illuminated by the setting sun with a small cap of clouds on its peak and surrounded by lower topography and blue sky in the far background.
