A photo of a mostly-black leather fire helmet with a turned-down brim piece, captioned in green "THE BRONX BEND" Source: https://us.msasafety.com/cairnsfirehelmets
The interior of a cooler full of tall beer cans: the nearest ones, at left, are named “Central Jersey Does Exist!”
A monochrome photo of a watch on a wrist. The watch has a dark face with white markings and hands. The top half of the watch's face says "SMITHS", with a crown above and a broad arrow below that text. The bottom half of the watch's face is home to a small seconds subdial; below that we see the text "GREAT BRITAIN".
We see into an angle made by some exterior walls of high-rise buildings. The primary wall facing the camera is faced with light-colored brick, and has clock markers and illuminated clock hands affixed. Within the face area of the clock as defined by the hour markers, we see the text "DVORA" in three-dimensional letters. Other visible parts of this building are a soft grey; other buildings are visible behind this one in the background.
A black poodle looks directly at the viewer. Her head is slightly tilted, and her look may be challenging, or quizzical, or knowing.
The rectangular panes of a glass-curtain highrise building reflect cloud doings in dark and light. There are mostly blues and whites.
A metal door has two affixed signs (one warning of high voltage, another stating that there's NO PARKING ANY TIME). Surrounding and at times overwriting these signs, we see an assortment of graffiti tags, in multiple distinct hands and colors.
A brick, block, and cement wall is painted mostly red, but random-seeming approximately-rectangular sections are covered in different shades of paint. An inset metal fire department water hookup displays even more distinct shades, including a green not seen elsewhere.
A screenshot of a pop-up from Facebook showing the silly results of their attempt at image recognition: "The automatically generated alternative text for the photo is: May be an image of Stone Henge" below we see where I'm typing in correct alt-text: "A square-topped concrete outdoor table holds an arrangement of small stones and bark-less sticks."

screenshot of a Mastodon post from @StefanThinks@beige.party: lol, I was trying to figure out if RFK Jr goes by Bobby so I searched google for “what do people call RFK Jr?” and it said “microwaved mel gibson” ouch
A highrise building featuring blue-green windows set in an apparent latticework. The building narrows toward the top, consistent with the expected perspective of looking up at a tall building.
A high-rise building with bluish/greenish glass set in a matrix of silverish or greyish vertical and horizontal framing features. One facet of the lighter-colored framing is noticeably brighter than other parts of the building, and calls attention to itself visually. The angles, especially of that brighter area of vertical and horizontal lines, are impossibly rectilinear: the perspective isn't quite natural, which helps abstract the geometries pictured and make the photo more about these lines than about the building's literal existence. Behind the primary-subject building, we see a background of clouds and saturated blue sky; there's a glimpse of another building in darker blues and greens nestled in the lower right corner of the frame.
A public building in some sort of classical style. Beneath a statue of a bearded man, water flows from a fountain. There are pigeons; some of them fly. In the lower right of the frame, we see (from behind) a small person with braids wearing a parka.
"Please don't be prophetic, little graffitied dumpster.": We see the side of a metal dumpster (or skip) featuring peeling paint, partly peeled-off signage, and an assortment of graffiti. The most prominent and legible word in the graffiti is "Boom".
A screenshot of a New York Times article headline and subhead: No One at Waffle House Remembers FEMA Official Who Says He Teleported In -- Gregg Phillips, who is in charge of responding to fires and floods, says the hand of God suddenly and mysteriously moved him to a 24-hour breakfast spot in Rome, Ga.
"Transit Poodle": An improbably-long-nosed large black poodle appears to be sitting in a train seat and looking off into the distance.
"So, what are little old ladies up to these days?": A white-haired elder in a big puffy coat operates a mobile phone while holding a staff-mounted flag which features the Progress Pride flag design surrounded by white. Overlaid in the Pride flag's white triangle is the text "NO KINGS" in black. Occupying the white background stripe above the Pride-flag graphic is the word "FUCK" in large black capital letters. Occupying the similar white area below is "TRUMP" in the same large black lettering.
"aussie eyes": A brown, white, black, and grey dog, which may be some sort of Australian herding creature, looks toward the camera with freakish extraterrestrial-looking asymmetrical light-colored eyes.
"PROSECUTE": A sign reads "PROSECUTE the EPSTEIN $ CLASS $". The person holding the sign is almost entirely hidden behind it.
"That's America Fucked.": Someone holds aloft a sign reading: "Let's see..... / DOGE our Intelligence Apparatus / Fire Experienced Military Leaders / Suck up to Putin / Invade Iran without a Plan / That's Not America First / That's America Fucked. / A Reckoning Is Coming / Truth & Justice / Will Follow This Insanity / November 3rd". "A Reckoning is Coming" and "November 3rd" are underlined in blue, and "Fucked." is underlined with a heavy red line.
"Period." Two black-gloved hold up a fluorescent-pink sign. Written on that sign in large black letters: "HUMAN RIGHTS." In smaller black letters below: "(PERIOD. THAT'S IT)" In the background behind the sign we see the out-of-focus Empire State Building.
"Distress.": A US flag attached to a pole flies upside-down. The Downtown Manhattan skyline is behind the flag, out of focus. Below the flag we see jumbled the heads and shoulders of some people.
In a wide, panorama-formatted photo, we see many people outside arrayed around a raised area which is serving as a stage. In the background, we see the Manhattan skyline,
A Casio DW290 digital wristwatch on a wrist. The watch shows the day and date ("SA 3-21") and the time.
"Alan's Co-Host: WFMU Music Director Jessica": A woman with long hair, black headphones, and a visible hair clip sits before a microphone. To the right, out of focus, we see a desk lamp with a tilted shade.
"Suzy Hotrod and Mona outside the station": Two women outdoors, wearing cool-weather outerwear, tilt their heads toward each other for a photo and smile. One holds a dog leash.
"Marina": An apparently small and concerned-looking dog gazes a bit to the left (her right) of the camera. The dog is nestled in a comfy-looking pet bed. A dangling bit of sneaker-wearing human foot provides scale, and one of the dog's feet dangles over the side of the bed.
"kitchen table talk": A woman (partially occluded by a large bowl) makes an expressive hand gesture while speaking to someone off right (represented by just a hand and a wrist bearing three strands of beads)
"Dave Mandl at the mic, trying to fend off the army of floating lamps": A monochrome image in which we see a man (Dave Mandl) behind a microphone, wearing headphones. He gesticulates, and may be speaking. Because he was photographed through a reflective glass window, multiple reflected images of objects in the room with the camera float intrusively about Dave, with lamps seeming to menace him as they float in the air.
"Look, it's Blumin & Nutt! Remember them from the vaudeville circuit?": Two standing men actively smiling look off-frame to the viewer's left; a seated woman with a computer on her lap also smiles.
"Back through the glass the other way: Handy is framed, Jesse is once again animated.": This photo looks through a pane of glass, which supplies interesting floating out-of-focus reflections. A bearded man with rectangular black-metal-framed eyeglasses and a cap is framed by rectangular reflected elements; another bearded man, wearing headphones, looks toward the camera while apparently in mid-speech.
"Handy takes a pledge.": A bearded man with black metal-framed glasses, wearing a flat cap, holds a traditional landline telephone receiver to his head and apparently speaks into it. His hand which is not holding the phone holds a ballpoint pen, poised to write. In the background, out of focus, a bearded man holds some sheets of paper and speaks into a paper-towel-wrapped microphone.
"Jesse is animated": A bearded man before a paper-towel-wrapped microphone has his hands (one of which holds a sheaf of papers) raised as he looks and apparently speaks with animation toward someone not seen off to the viewer's right.
"Fabio-Behind-The-Glass peeks back": A man with a tiny mustache, wearing headphones, tilts his head to the side and peers at the camera through a pane of glass.
A bearded man wearing headphones smiles at the camera whole holding up two fingers.
A man behind a microphone, wearing headphones, smiles as he operates faders on a broadcast console.

A man is visible in a radio studio, photographed through a pane of glass whose out-of-focus decorations feature in the image.
A man in a radio studio points up and looks at the camera.
A man appears to be gnawing upon some bubble wrap as another man leans in with a piece of paper.
A bearded man at a table speaks into a telephone and holds a pen.
A very busy monochromatic scene: an arrow-shaped sign on window glass reads "Please write this SHIFT NUMBER on each pledge card", and a square pull-off note reads "1 / Clay Pigeon / Wake & Bake". Behind the glass we see a ghostly figure with salt-and-pepper beard and black glasses apparently on the move.
A monochrome photograph, in which we see inset in a sidewalk a round brass frame with compass points and text reading "WILLIAM BARTHMAN" / "SINCE", with anything else occluded by the foot of a person standing on the object. Inside the brass circle is a mud-smeared round glass port; no detail is visible through the glass, although the space the glass covers appears to be lit from within.
Two play-motivated dogs on snow strain toward each other on taut leashes. In the background, someone pushes a snowblower.
A man wearing headphones looks into the camera.
Small text at the top reading: "EPISODE 601" Large text in the body of the image: "Multitasking Doesn't Work. So Why Do We Keep Trying?"
Logo of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
A bearded man with eyeglasses wearing a lounge suit stands and speaks with his hands raised and eyes closed while a colorful projection plays to his right (the viewer's left).
Two bearded men with eyeglasses and bald heads share a contemplative moment.
A protester holds aloft the flag of the Alliance to Restore the Republic (from Star Wars). Protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.
A group of protesters. The closest, most prominent sign (held by someone wearing a red hat and yellow jacket) reads "LOVE WILL WIN" in silver block letters on a black background. The text is surrounded by bright brush or fingerpainting strokes in many colors.
A line of people standing along a sidewalk. One holds a large sign reading "THE ONLY GOOD ICE IS CRUSHED". Most people's faces are obscured with black discs.
Protesters seen from behind. One, off to the side, wears a bedazzled red white and blue top hat and carries a small US flag. Closer, and filling much of the frame, someone holds hand-lettered signs on fluorescent card stock (one orange, one yellowish). One reads "It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it –George Orwell" and the other "If you see injustice and say nothing, you have taken the side of the oppressor. –Desmond Tutu".
We see a crowd of protesters with two signs especially prominant above them. One reads "Down With the Moronarchy" (all in black type except for "Moron" in red). A larger one reads "UPHOLD the RULE of LAW no kings 10/18/25". Protesters' faces are obscured with black discs.
In a crowd of people holding protest signs, we see one which reads: "My favorite season is the Fall of Fascism"
A dog wearing a sign which reads "I BITE FASCISTS" looks straight into the camera.
A screenshot from Bandcamp, showing a "collection" numbering exactly 666 musics. A bit of a Billy Bragg album cover is visible at the bottom of the image.
a scan of text from the 1974 Sinclair Scientific Calculator manual, reading: "Actually the calculation has used only the first 3 digits of 1250000-namely, 125. The strings of O's are confusing, irrelevant and dangerous (since omitting one will throw out the whole calculation)."
An image (likely a rendering rather than an actual photo) of the Sinclair Scientific calculator from 1974. The image shows a calculator with a display at the top, "sinclair Scientific" and some reminders of handy mathematical constants written on an otherwise blank space below the display, then an array of blue and gray keys below.
