He/him. Fighting stereotypes against mustache twirling. YES it indicates scheming, but NO, not all scheming is evil. I mostly just post pictures of my dogs, but they are excellent dogs. 🌩️👀 8uzcoya9Qios #corgi #corgisky

A screenshot of the classic 1930s Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs covers Elmers eyes like he is preparing him for a surprise, and says, "What do you get when you mix PMS with..."
A black-and-white photo of a dapper-looking dandy of the late 19th century holding an ivory-handled cane. He looks very pleased with himself, as if no one is accusing him of succumbing to "social contagion"
The tweet you know by heart by mike ginn that reads: My "Not involved in human trafficking" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt. Posted 3:11 AM · Nov 21, 2013
The Proclaimers looking very Scottish singing "But I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more"
Poster for the Hammer Film Production “Dracula Has Risen From the Grave” starring Christopher Lee and Rupert Davies
A screen shot of the Career section of Darline Graham Norton's Wikipedia page, reading: "By 2002, Graham Nordone had appeared in a television advertisement for Lindsey's campaign in that year's U.S. Senate election in South Carolina.[7] She continued to assist in her brother's subsequent campaigns, discussing her childhood in 2014[5] and 2026.[8] Graham Nordone additionally supported her brother's campaign for President of the United States in the 2016 election.[9]"

*NSYNC Year in Review magazine - “We’ve got the *nside scoop!”
Dr. Pretorius looks over his collection of homunculi in glass jars in Bride of Frankenstein. One of them is presumably a young 3-inch high Peter Lorre
Conner Corgi looking straight at the camera with his jowls pulled back to reveal his teeth in a way that conveys more derp than threat. He likes to get set in this manner in case the opportunity should come along to grab a tug toy, even if such a toy is currently out of his reach. It pays to be prepared
A World War One Era poster of a Belgian soldier wearing a shako over a bandaged head with his arm in a sling carrying the Belgian flag, with the caption: “Bravo Belgium! The Belgians have won for themselves the immortal glory which belongs to a people who prefer freedom to ease, and security even to life itself. We are all proud of their alliance and their friendship. We salute them with respect and honor.”
The picture of Trump doing the Smooth Criminal Lean in front of Air Force One, rotated to make Trump vertical. Everyone else looks like they are about to slide off of the face of the earth.
Poster for the TV Show "The Wizard", starring David Rappaport, Douglas Barr, Fran Ryan.
1999 Stanley Cup Playoffs Opening Night, Round 1 - Game A, Sec. 101, Row RR, Seat 13. Price: $23.00
Lazlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry) of What We Do in the Shadows, wearing a cursed hat with a wide, thick brim, which appears to be made out of leather, but is actually made out of witch's skin
A framed picture wrapped in a dish towel embroidered with a picture of a rooster is unwrapped to reveal that the framed image is a second dish towel with the exact same picture of a rooster.
Conner Corgi, seen from above, snuggled up against me and offering kisses to try to make me feel better about whatever it is on the computer that is so upsetting. His ears are back and he has classic puppy-dog eyes. He recovered much more quickly than I did, because frisbee is the only sport he actually cares about
A rendering of an entrance to the new Penn Station, which should complete construction by the year 2525. It shows a wall near a bank of escalators with the Presidential Seal and name of the man every New Yorker loves so much, Donald J. Trump. The rendering does not show it covered by graffiti yet, but the intent is clear. The rendering also does not show drain holes along the bottom of the wall for its intended use as a urinal, but certainly those would be added during construction
A Saturn SL series, which was pretty cool for an economy car
Caine from the Amazing Digital Circus, a figure dressed like a circus ring master in a red tailcoat and black top hat, but his head is a set of dentures with eyeballs inside the mouth. If someone told you the Which Wich Teeth Sandwich was meant to be a Digital Circus Caine-themed promotion, you would believe it.
A poster for Beau Travail, Directed by Claire Denis. A muscular, shirtless soldier, his face in shadow, stands against an intensely blue sky. There is no Bugs Bunny element to this poster, because I couldn't think of a gag that was worth the effort.
Jackie Daytona, a Regular Human Bartender
The six genders are: Lady Jaye, Spirit, Scarlet, Roadblock, Duke and Cobra Commander. GI JOE!!!
Conner Corgi with his tongue lolling out regally, with a drawing of a crown sloppily pasted on top of his head. In the background are some azaleas in royal purple, because only the best will do for such a king
Conner Corgi smiling in front of some flowering purple azaleas. He is glad to see you
A two-page spread from Ottoline and the Yellow Cat by Chris Riddell. Ottoline is a little girl whose vibe would fit in well at the Met Gala. Mr. Munroe is a small furry creature from a bog in Norway. The text reads 'Then Ottoline brushed Mr. Munroe's hair ... very thoroughly … and tied a ribbon in it.'
A Star Wars trading card that says "Snap Wexley and the Force". Snap Wexley is Greg Grunberg in an X-Wing pilot uniform. The Force is a big worm thing with spikes coming off its head. The Force looks like it has problems with digestion, and while the meds help, they don't really fix anything.
Rudy Guiliani with melting hair
The 1994-version of me looking like the 1916 version of me, in costume as an aviator in the Lafayette Escadrille, standing in front of a replica Nieuport 17 biplane. They didn't let me climb in the plane. The photo is in grainy black and white, making it look fairly convincing as an actual documentary photograph, although a member of the crew in 90s clothing is slightly visible to the right of the plane's cockpit
Australian journalist Adam Hegarty impregnates Clavicular's future girlfriend with sheer charisma
That guy who made his own suit of bear armor, being delivered on a forklift by two guys who look like they are affiliated with the forklift and not with the bear-armor guy. The armor is red, white and silver, and looks like it was made by the sort of guy who would think he could make his own bear armor. It has a single eye and looks like a cyclops from an MST3K movie of the week
Wildcat from Talespin, a Disney-looking cat, or lion, or I’m not actually sure what, in overalls and with a ponytail I never really noticed before. He has a huge jaw that makes it look like he would talk funny, and he does! 90s cartoons knew how to deliver. He is holding a wrench so he can fix Bluesky
A bunch of critters from Jabba's Palace, Special Edition-edition, including the three-eyed guy, the swirly-headed guy, the squid-head dude, and presumably, Tanguy Destable
Conner Corgi sitting and posing nicely in front of some blooming purple azaleas
Nine dogs of wildly varying sizes all sitting evenly spread out on a staircase, nicely spaced so that everyone's face is visible. Conner Corgi is right up front, because of course he is.
The deeply disturbing Grok avatar that Elon created, in the much the same way that dogs create diarrhea. I'm not going to describe what it looks like, because if you can't see it, you are one of the lucky ones and I don't want to screw that up for you. Trump has appointed it as the 88th Attorney General of the United States of America.
A cheap county-fair-type blue ribbon with "Nobel Peace Prize" sloppily written in the middle
The Dune Meme with Tim Chalmers and Meechee in front of a big dusty sun, and Tim is holding up something pointy. The text says "Cool Stick" in the Dune font, and the subtitle says "Looks like a knife but Mom says it is only for outside"
Now Mrs. Peel is wearing the hat. It looks even better on her
John Steed in his black bowler hat, with his umbrella slung over one arm, making a champagne toast with Mrs. Peel in the opening of the Avengers TV show. Mrs. Peel could also rock a hat, but had no need to
A large pack of “Hell”o Kitty Soft Toilet Tissue, which is a strange yet gentle hell
Tony Curtis in the famous scene from the movie Spartacus where he shouts “I WAS NOT DOING HEROIN IN A RALEIGH GUTHERIE'S BATHROOM ON A TUESDAY EVENING !!!!!!!!!!”
Conner Corgi at a few weeks old in March, 2023. He is significantly shorter than the flowers, which are miniature daffodils, only a few inches high. He looks quite regal, thanks to miraculous timing on the photo. In truth, he was just looking up from rooting up the leaves looking for rabbit poop.
Google search screen shot with the text "How can I change who I rooted for at the O..." with the suggestions: "office, open, odds, outlet store, outlet mall, opera crossword, obgyn, olympics"
Sitting on the couch with my legs stretched out - my legs are all that is visible of me. An ad during the Olympics is on the TV. Conner Corgi is sitting next to me, looking away from the TV, watching the popcorn with intense interest
A road sign for the village of Chaos in Portugal, seen through the lashing wipers of a rain-covered windshield. I was only in Chaos for a moment, and yet in Chaos I remain.
A screenshot of a Reddit post showing a single ticket sold for the premiere of Melania. This has been happening all over the place, most famously at the London premiere, because this is a movie for people who hate people
Tim Tebow in the Oval Office, making Baby Shark hands for some dumbass reason, looking like he is about to catch a grimacing goblin-faced Donald Trump with his bare hands
Alec Guinness sketches a secret Cuban super weapon so he can sell the plans to MI6, but at left we can see that his drawing is actually just a scaled-up version of a vacuum cleaner. Someone clearly watched this movie and is now making bank off of it.
That same picture everyone is posting of the Pope looking like he is being all cool as hell singing into a microphone
The abominable original Snuffleupagus, with terrifying yellow eyes that point in wild directions, and huge evil eyebrows. He is about to eat Big Bird, I am sure of it. This version of Big Bird is also kind of scary, so maybe they are teaming up to eat all of the children watching at home...
A corgi in closeup, his face and ears filling the frame, with golden autumn leaves covering the ground behind him
Conner Corgi looks alerted at the camera, his leash held by a young man in a style blue double-breasted suit with the sleeves rolled, with a yellow shirt and a skinny black tie. He is dressed as Spike Spiegel from the Cowboy Bebop, and a cut-out of the anime character's head has been photoshopped over his real head. The cartoon head things is kind of unsettling, since I should probably have been sloppier about it to keep it out of uncanny valley territory, but Halloween is supposed to be scary, y'all...
OCTOBER - 2025. World Series Game 3 Has Gone to 18 Innings. BASEBALL IS NOW CRICKET
The Normal Rockwell meme of the literally blue-collar man standing up to speak at a civic assembly, looking just like Toby Huss
A stuffed animal in the shape of an orange cat that is just realistic enough to have some creepy uncanny valley effect going on. It has big sad eyes that make it feel like you have failed it personally. It is just as sentient as a large language model, so should it have more rights than people? The Guardian wonders...
A purple bus with the roof chopped off at The Can Opener food truck park, just past the famous 11 foot 8 bridge in Durham, NC
A much younger version of me, in front of a Nieuport 17 biplane of the Layette Escadrille, the volunteer squadron of Americans who flew for the French in the early days of WW1. Since I am old but not THAT old, this is not actually from that era, but is instead from the set of "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Attack of the Hawkmen" from 1994
Conner Corgi gazes out to sea on a sandy beach just beyond the edge of gentle waves, showing off his preposterously fluffy posterior
The cover of the album “50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong,” sloppily updated to say “7 CEOs can’t be wrong”
