Living room scene - black leather couch with two baskets full of folded laundry, as well as two stacks of five blue folded towels. In front of the couch is a coffee table with three stacks of clothing, each item on a hanger. There's one more stack of hanger clothing on a rolling tray in the foreground.

Video of two seals in the river, popping their heads up and down, playing as they swim pad the docks

Two large black shelving units full of assorted board games; they're the KALLAX style from IKEA, a 5x5 on the left, and a 2x4 upright on the right. They're in the corner of a room with cream-colored walls, a light brown carpet, and a window with white blinds and trim. Next to the shelves on the right, the corner of a brown tartan couch can be seen, as well as a few green leaves, the tips of a branch of fake plant.

Creamed brussel sprouts: a stainless steel pot on a white stovetop, with a chrome spoon. Inside the pot are shredded, sauteed brussel sprouts, with yellow, orange, and red bell peppers, avocado, tomato, chives, and chopped vegetarian chicken patties. Don't knock it, they taste just like the real thing.

Black textured 3D Printer bed - it's an AnkerMake M5 - with a finished print on it: Dark blue scales laid out in an overlapping pattern. You can see black tulle mesh sticking out the bottom of the scales.

Photo of my Switch 2 screen: black background, with the app icons along the bottoms and thumbnails for several games at the top - from right to left: Mariokart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and, FINALLY, Hollow Knight Silksong, mid-download.

Cancellation feedback form from Microsoft. A white dialog box with the title, "Feedback to Microsoft," and the question, "Why did you turn off recurring billing?" There are several options, but "Other" is selected, and the text in the "Can you tell us more?" reads "I'm canceling my XBOX Game Pass subscription because I cannot in good conscience contribute to Microsoft's continued support and extreme complicity of Israel's genocide against Palestine." "Submit" and "Cancel" buttons on the bottom.

A copy of Bob's new book, sitting face-up on my dark brown wooden coffee table: the front cover is mostly yellow, and designed to look like the Super Mario a Bros. 3 title screen, including pixelated red curtain along the top, black and white checkerboard floor, a green warp pipe, metallic floating blocks, and pastel platforms. The text reads:
SMB3
BRICK BY BRICK
THE LEVELS
THE ENEMIES
THE HISTORY
THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE
BOB CHIPMAN

A marketplace page called Capillus: Red Light Solutions. The item on display is a black plastic, full-face mask, with curious for the eyes, nose, and mouth. There's a power button about where the right temple would be, and the inside is glowing red. It looks like a high-tech gimp mask. It's called the Capilus Face Mask, with the tag line "Light Your Way to Radiant Skin," a "New Product" sticker, and a $795 price tag. The description text is cut off, but what is visible reads, "Cutting-Edge solution with 210 LEDs designed to..."

A blue plate on a tray in the extreme foreground. On the plate are four baked jalapeño halves, covered with cream cheese and smoked cheddar, and wrapped in bacon. Behind the poppers is a steak cut in half - the top has dark grill lines with shrimp and bacon, the interior of the steak is a deep pink, perfect medium rare. Next to the plate on the tray is a wine glass filled to 3/4 with white wine (it's a 2020 Argyle Blanc de Blancs if you're curious). I'm the background is an entertainment center and television, with the BACK TO THE FUTURE title on screen.

"He wants to feel like she can be buried," a publicist working with the studio and Mr. Baldoni wrote in and Aug. 2 message to the crisis management expert, Melissa Nathan.
"You know we can bury anyone," Ms. Nathan wrote.
In the following weeks, Ms. Nathan, WHOSE CLIENTS HAVE INCLUDED JOHNNY DEPP [emphasis mine] and the rappers Drake and Travis Scott, went hard at the press, pushing to prevent stories about Mr. Baldoni's behavior and reinforce negative ones about Ms. Lively, the text messages show. Jed Wallace, a self-described "hired gun," led a digital strategy that included boosting social media posts that could help their cause.

-- excerpt from a NEW YORK TIMES article about the Lively/Baldoni situation

A gray and white cat, laying on our bed, twisting over his back in an upside-down "C" shape, front paws stretched down toward the camera. It's ridiculously cute.

A zoom-in of the "likes" on the above post, right after I Liked it. It reads "69."

Screenshot from the GHOST OF YOTEI trailer, depicting an asian woman (portrayed by Erika Ishii) in a yellow, fur-lined robe and tattered straw hat, holding a sword at the ready, with a shamisen (I think?) on her back. She's looking past the camera tentatively, as if unsure of what an opponent is going to do.

My new cookbook! It's called ANYTHING'S PASTABLE, by Dan Pashman. Blue background, with white text in front of a fork full of pasta in red sauce. Above the title reads, "81 inventive pasta recipes for saucy people."

A receipt from FIVE GUYS, listing the order number as "66"

Me (bald white man with a beard), in a very sharp-looking black tuxedo. It's got a scarf-style collar, with shiny black shoes, a dark green vest. black dress shirt, and a black satin tie, tied in an Eldridge knot. My hands are in my pockets, and I'm smiling slightly at the camera. Behind me, a gray and white cat is seated, tail curled around his body, looking at the camera with disdain.

My free COVID test order confirmation: Thank You! Your order #: [REDACTED] has been placed. Orders will ship free starting the week of October 2, 2023.

A screenshot from the movie SPEED, depicting Keanu reeves standing at the front of a bus next to Sandra Bullock, who's seated and driving. Both look worried. The caption above the screenshot reads, "Speed (1994) incorrectly credits Jan de Bont as director. Speed did not have a director, because if Speed had any direction it would have been called Velocity."

A hand pointing it's index finger directly at the camera, against a white background. There are words printed over the hand, but they've all been scribbled over in black, except the very first letter: F

My cat, Raavi - gray back, tail, and head with a white stomach and limbs, lying on his back, forelegs splayed out above his head. He's on our bed, blue flower-print comforter, with several bookshelves and a blue curtain in the background.

A screenshot of my Bluesky timeline: first, a tweet from Thot's of a Croc, reading: "Fifa back in town soon and I feel like a golden retriever jumping at the door negate somebody said the word 'park'"; Directly below that is a reply by Nathalie - to a different tweet - reading "Hopefully you smell better than a golden retriever." and a reply to that by John Scalzi: "Nope, their noses are much more sensitive."

A flight of four beers, left to right: a nice golden ale, a dark stout with a thick head of foam, and two lighter beers, probably IPAs. Portland is one of the biggest microbrew hubs in the country.

Poster for MR. RIGHT: Sam Rockwell in a gray suit and red clown nose, loading a snub-nosed revolver and looking at the camera. Anna Kendrick next to him, wearing an art-deco flowery skirt, red t-shirt with a unicorn print on the front, and cat ears, hands on her hips, also looking at the camera. Yellow background with a series of outlines drawn around the two, meant to evoke a shooting target. Title across the middle of the poster, and the tagline "THEY MAKE A KILLER COUPLE."

A picture of me: White man, early forties, with a shaved head. blue eyes behind grey glasses. Goatee is a medley of black, brown, red, blonde, and white hairs. Purple t-shirt, with a cluttered background.

A screen from Selena Gomez's instagram page. It's a picture of her (a beautiful latina woman), wearing what looks like a fur coat or blanket, sitting in the back seat of a car or limo, with very moody pink and green lighting, looking at the camera with satisfaction. The caption along the bottom of the image reads "SELENA GOMEZ SINGLE SOON"

My wife at dinner: a dark-haired Italian woman in sunglasses, a wallet chain necklace, and a black tank top, seated at a small black table outside, smirking at the camera whole she shuffles a deck of cards.
