snippet from a Mother Jones article. at one point the word “term” shows that just the letter “m” is a link.
still from Parks & Recreation S4E12, Leslie Knope's campaign ad. this still has Leslie and some kid jumping for joy in front of a streetside hot dog cart, with red text that reads "YAY PAWNEE!" over the bottom.

sandhill crane head. it's a long bird with a long neck and a very long beak. its forehead is vibrant read and, if you look close, that red is just bright red skin

the back of a green shed. two chickens are pecking away at something just in front of it. more interestingly, a chicken is wedged between two bits of roof of the shed, with its wing and head dangling.

text: "On the other hand, it is also true, as human experience again and again shows, that the usual matters of human debate and difference of opinion are not so vitally important, or so easily classified; that in most cases there is much of right and wrong on both sides and, so usual is it to find this true, that men tend to argue it always so. Their life morality becomes always a wavering path of expediency, not necessarily the best or the worst path, as they freely even smilingly admit, but a good path, a safe path, a path of little resistance and one that leads to the good if not to the theoretical (but usually impracticable) best. Such philosophy of the world’s ways is common, and probably it is well that thus it is. And yet we all feel its temporary, tentative character; we instinctively distrust its comfortable tone, and listen almost fearfully for the greater voice; its better is often so far below that which we feel is a possible best, that its present temporizing seems evil to us, and ever and again after the world has complacently dodged and compromised with, and skilfully evaded a great evil, there shines, suddenly, a great white light—an unwavering, unflickering brightness, blinding by its all-seeing brilliance, making the whole world simply a light and a darkness—a right and a wrong. Then men tremble and writhe and waver. They whisper, “But—but—of course;” “the thing is plain, but it is too plain to be true—it is true but truth is not the only thing in the world.” Thus they hide from the light, they burrow and grovel, and yet ever in, and through, and on them blazes that mighty light with its horror of darkness and behind it peals the voice—the Riddle of the Sphinx, that must be answered. "Such a light was the soul of John Brown."

post from Larry Mizell, Jr. on the KEXP playlist for the song “(I Want To Live In) America” which reads: “Where the Beat Meets the Street is the second and final studio album by Bobby & the Midnites, an American rock band formed as a side project by Grateful Dead rhythm guitarist and vocalist Bob Weir. RIP” he then goes on to share the Grokipedia page for the album. the Wikipedia page for that album is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Beat_Meets_the_Street

Screenshot of the page linked in the prior reply. It contains a list titled "Links!" which sure looks like the intent is that each item in the list is a hyperlink, but no actual links are present whatsoever.

snippet from the quoted article, a quote from Melissa Rakestraw, which reads: “So the plan is a bad deal for customers and for workers. It’s not going to be good for the American public or the postal worker, either one. It’s going to create an environment, if the privatization is able to move forward the way they’ve planned it, where [I highlighted the temainder] they could sell off access to your mailbox to private companies.”

the board for the game Goose Tooth which this company makes. it's three nested squares, each of which has eight spots on the corners and midpoints of each line. the corresponding spots on the squares are connected. the spots seem to be places to put little goose tokens, some of which are present in this photo. those tokens are cute little wooden depictions of geese standing and in flight.

The meme that comes from that still in Predator where the two very buff men Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers do a cool handshake. Weathers' arm is labeled "'old world' cuisines". Schwarzenegger's arm is labeled "'new world' cuisines". In the middle, depicting the thing the two are in agreement on, is the word "fabaceae".
