He/Him No matter where you are tonight, or who you are; you might not know it, but somebody loves you - Peter Simon

A screenshot of the BBC scorebar for Paraguay v France, promoting the Round of 16 match of Mexico v England as starting coverage "Sunday Midnight" on "One" and "iPlayer", during the hydration break at 23:44 in the match
A screenshot of James O'Malley (@jamesomalley.co.uk) from 12 hours ago (from this post) that reads "Nobody wants to say it but Wes is probably the best option."
A cropped screenshot of one of my e-mail accounts with an Inbox heading with an unread count of 73990
A Google News screenshot of a Radio Times story from 19 hours ago that reads "Taskmaster legend Greg Davies confirmed to take over from Alan Cum…", underneath a picture of a funereally dressed Greg Davies (black suit, black tie, white shirt) smiling through the pain whilst presumably hosting an award behind a pair of microphones. The ellipsis at the end of the headline presumably reveals what Alan Cum used to do.
A hulking great full size Cherry G81-8000 beige mechanical keyboard, complete with magstripe slot at the top for all your card swiping needs
A black and white scribbled line drawing of a dog, in the vague style of the OP, with big black flappy ears, wearing extremely thick glasses that look like radiation goggles
Conservative columnist Sebastian Payne with thinning grey hair, wearing a pair of glasses that would suit an octogenarian, an awful black and white diagonal chequerboard tie. He looks a few decades older than his real age.

A 3-pack of Integral 32GB USB 2 flash drives, one coloured a light blue, the second yellow, and the third pink, like an upside-down pansexual pride flag. As you'd expect at Tesco, they're in a plastic security box
An exploded Rubik's-style cube sprinkled all over a grass verge and the two concrete slab footpaths it sits between. Pieces are scattered at a distance of about a metre and a half.
A large Morrisons pricing label that reads "Morrisons Supermarket Trolley £7", attached to a Morrisons Café barrier
A post from The Mirror on Facebook from 12 hours ago. The post reads "A deceptive brainteaser is leaving people utterly stumped - but once you've cracked it, it'll seem glaring obvious". A gravure-style image of a goat earing a plant is then captioned "Only those with a high IQ can spot goat's owner hiding in plain sight"
An orange-discount-labelled Deluxe Woodfired Sourdough Pizza Base that is apparently "ready to top", with a worryingly thin-looking layer of tomato sauce on it. It's also apparently made from "00 style flour", which seems meaningless
A screenshot from the boiler install email, which reads "Introducing your installer, Thom Thom will arrive between 7:00am and 10:00am and it could" At which point the screenshot cuts off
An annotated screenshot of the pre-chorus by Anita Doth, in the style of Lionel Hutz, which reads "No no? No, no "no no"! No, no "no no"! No "no", there's no limit" - quotation marks, commas, and exclamation marks liberally added in red.
Barry Urch, Area Sales Manager for Vaillant, wearing all black, shaking hands with the cardboard cutout of the Vaillant Hare, in his trademark green check shirt, white T-shirt, grey working trousers, and white and green trainers. They're both next to some sort of heating solution with pipes and things.
Melvin Odoom dressed as Carol Vorderman almost 20 years ago on Dick and Dom In Da Bungalow, with long brown hair and a flowing pink and yellow dress. He is holding up tiles spelling "CLEKUG" as they won't stick properly.
A copy of the "Our Ladbaby Journey" book, £11 at Asda, sitting amongst undoubtedly better books on the shelf. The book is subtitled "Success, Sacrifice & Sausage Rolls", and adorned with the rictus faces of the sausage-roll-holding duo themselves.
Some bright green spinach soup in the lid of a Thermos food flask, with the handle of a spoon sticking out of it. It tastes far better than it looks, as it looks like gloop.
Two sprites from the "The Simpsons" arcade game, the first showing a pixel art Marge accidentally vacuuming her hair and revealing the bottom of large bunny ears, and the second showing a classic cartoon X-ray-style skeleton during an electric shock, showing the ears as part of her skeleton.
A shot of some tree branches with a single leaf hanging from them. Stormy grey clouds are gathered in the sky behind. The leaf is shadowy too. The tree was entirely bare otherwise.
A William Hill bookmaker's shop window with a digital advertising screen, which reads "Win up to £500 on our new slot, Play our new game today", next to a "Cops 'n' Robbers Big Money T Or T" logo, which thanks to all caps looks like Tort. I would say I'm sorry for that joke, but I'm not.
A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #608,317, Joe Spivey ‪@joetrev.bsky.social‬, joined on Aug 18, 2023"
An Amazon mobile notification, which reads: "Thank you for purchasing with Amazon. We think you'd like Breakfast Cereal based on your recent purchase."
A BP petrol totem sign, with petrol displaying 0.0 pence, and diesel showing 159.9 pence, in green LEDs. It's also rainy, and the attached shop is a Londis. That must be the reason why...!
A cropped photo of Keir Starmer, looking directly towards the camera, with his left hand open, pointing in the direction of an (unseen) new MP, and his other hand off the edge on the MP's shoulder. He is smiling with teeth showing, but not grinning. The pose is uncannily similar to Ian / Irwin Helford from the front of old Viking Direct catalogues. Sir Keir is wearing a dark navy shirt and a slightly less dark navy suit jacket, and is flanked by supporters holding up signs saying "Let's get Britain's Future Back".
A product listing on the Morrisons app with an image of two pieces of ox tail, with the text: "Market Street Scottish Ox Tail 0.5KG Typically (£7.50 per kilo) £3.75 Typically" With an Add button below to add it to my basket (I will not be doing so)
A screenshot from twexit.nl, which reads: 1, by: @alex.sorlie.io Carbrains and NIMBYs Listed 160 People who are either NIMBYs, anti-pedestrian, anti-cyclist, anti-public transport, blaming victims of traffic violence, self-driving car stans, supporting minimum parking requirements, concern-trolling/sealioning
A dark grey pen with rose gold / copper trim on the pen clip and on the end, just before a phone stylus rubber bulb, sitting on a beech-coloured desk. The printed sample logo has been deftly turned away.
A Morrisons square web ad, which reads "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", a placeholder for some other message. The logo and slogan for Morrisons appears at the bottom right ("More reasons to shop at Morrisons".
Beanus, the Digitiser YouTube channel character with orange curly hair, and a full head mask with fried egg eyes, a tomato nose, a sausage mouth, and a baked beans face, wears an orange jacket with white gloves, and orange trousers with white spots on. He is making a crossed-arms chilly motion, standing in the resplendent set of The Christmas Golden Bean, with orange lamettas and a Christmas tree, and a cow cutout in the background
A celeriac sliced in half with the top chopped off, with the offending knife next to it. I took the image from the Wikipedia page, which helpfully mentions knob celery.
A thumbs up emoji symbol, except all the fingers are peanuts in their shells, and the rest of the hand is made from peanut shell, in a normal hand shape. It is not pretty.
