The cover to Naki no Ryuu: Mahjong Hishou-den for the Super Famicom, based off of the manga. A serious man in a purple top with a severe side part has his arm across his face, holding a mahjong tile in anticipating of a devastating play. He looks rad as hell.
A screenshot of my review of the 1984 animated short There Will Come Soft Rains, based off of the Ray Bradbury short story (poem?). It is four stars and hearted and reads: "Absolutely giving 'its the middle of the night and im too young to see something like this on the UHF station' energy"
A screenshot from the game Nonsensory showing a drawing based on the prompt "Where does this drawing belong between TURTLE and CYCLIST?" Players are to look at the drawing and guess on a ten point scale between those two extremes where the drawing lands. It shows a large, slightly anthropomorphised turtle riding an adult bicycle, two lines behind it showing that it's moving very fast.
A box of frozen Baked Ziti from the brand “Michael Angelo’s”. It looks fine on the box, but probably looks terrible in real life.
A Bluesky post from James Beckett that reads: The U.S. didn't "hate" anime in the 90s. People these days tend to conflate (or confuse) "broad teasing of foreign cultures and nerd hobbies" for "hatred." As for the nerds and bullies that may have gotten weird or douchey about it...l mean, what do you expect? That's what nerds and bullies do.

The jailbreak segment from Another World/Out of This World, where the player meets his partner as they escape from jail.

An edited version of a poster for Wonka (2023) showing a closeup of Timothee Chalamet's face from the nose up, with most of the poster being his hat. "Before he was Wonk he was... Willy" is the text

Screenshot of a thread in Resetera's EtcetEra forum asking "is nirvana overrated or underrated". It has a poll with the same options, plus a third option "smashing pumpkins is better". If Kurt Cobain had lived, would he also have gone on Alex Jones podcast? Would he also have rebranded his livejournal transphobic screed as "an encounter with a shapeshifter" on Howard Stern's show? Probably not. So, no, Smashing Pumpkins is not better

FBI Agent Dale Cooper's introductory dialogue from Twin Peaks scrolls horizontally along a black screen, moving up and down in a sine wave pattern. It moves all as one instead of individually by the letter, so it looks lame, not leet.
