Data, a science-fiction robot from Star Trek: The Next Generation, holds an empty glass exclaiming with delight, "It is revolting!".
A NFPA 704 hazard diamond. It says no water, deadly health hazard, non-flammable, and the reactivity quadrant bears the Kool-Aim man, a boisterous fellow known for bursting through walls while yelling "OH YEAH"
Scutum Fidei, the classic diagram describing the orthodox nature of the Christian trinity, altered to describe an admiralty Boiler, with two water drums and a steam drum standing in for various god bits
80's video still of a graying man in a headset in front of a festive sign saying "Jeopardy". The scene has an air of satire.
A panel from Achewood: Ray's monitor shows someone dragging a picture of a motorcycle across a backgrounded picture of a mountain, in lieu of any real thrill or accomplishment. It is perhaps the saddest thing.
Benjamin Sisko from Deep Space nice clutching a baseball while he explains. The gif is captioned "It's like friction." The poster has been too lazy to remove the watermark.
A red pan being used to make mirepoix. Jesus, that's a lot of mirepoix.
We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese
Star Trek's D'Deridex warbird, a large green spaceship defined by graceful curves around an ellipsoid negative space.
Rutger Hauer as Roy Battey in Blade Runner, bloody and wet. Subtitle reads his iconic line, "All these glizzies will be lost in time"
A log entry: "8/2 12:45 p.m. Someone was worried about a deer and fawns that were close to the railroad tracks near Iron Mountain Boulevard and Mulligan Lane."
A gaudy, gilt plate on a set table. The plate holds a rubbery, neat vulcanized lozenge of arthropod meat that supports a pink flap of some animal. The flap drapes like a clock in Dali's Persistence of Memory. A nugget of greenery sits alongside a crude arc of sauced peas and marigolds leaves, as if it were plated by a small child.
An Iranian man being interviewed in the 1990s or 2000s, captioned "Alexis de Tocqueville... which I am sure most Americans have read." The man is neither laughing nor crying.
Phil Hartman sits on a chair in business attire, agog at the pyramid of high fiber cereal thrusting him skyward. The background is a amorphous gray, as if Phil and the cereal that makes you poop good are all that exists.
A speech bubble coming from a young Randy Newman.
Brad Pitt, wearing a hat and several layers, smiles in front of a car and a trailer home. The image is from the movie Snatch.
Two joined frames from an ancient Simpsons episode. On the left, Martin hangs a poster reading "A vote for Bart is a vote for ANARCHY." On the right, Bart hangs a crudely made poster reading "A vote for Bart is a vote for ANARCHY."
A cordless drill chucked into a wooden pepper grinder, set before a wooden door in an artless composition
