Cover for "Fighters in the Shadows" "A new history of the French resistance" by Robert Gildea
I've cleverly replaced the caption of a family circus cartoon so the precocious child in front of a computer is saying, "‬Can I just buy a computer without memory? My memory's pretty good, I can just use that."
It's one of those inspirational quote cards with a well known Vonnegut quote crudely edited to read, "We are what we militarily defeat so we must be careful what we militarily defeat"

Old timey black and white photo of three women wearing dazzle camouflage swimsuits
A product for sale, it's label says, "Never Kink" "with kink-resistant technology"
An advertisement for a conference, "Explore New Frontiers in Equine Practice." It features a cartoon horse wearing virtual reality goggles, and behind the horse, evoking what it's seeing, is a twilight landscape with a road leading to a mountain range. The sky has a grid like it's in the holodeck.
Johnson, boasting about his ability to read men, said, in Rowan's recollection, "that he could look into the eyes of the Soviet leaders and see what was in their hearts"

A graph. The Y axis is labeled "hours per week of strength." The X axis is labelled "Strength recipient." The first "strength recipient" bar on the graph is "Some place I volunteer" and it receives about 4 hours per week. The second bar is labeled "my employer" which receives 40 hours per week.

An image of Newman from the show Seinfeld saying "Hello, Jerry." He is wearing a Borg prosthesis with a Borg ship in the background. Below that image is Jerry Seinfeld wearing a Starfleet commander's uniform, saying, "Hello, Newman-ocutus."
The top of the image shows a child eating food at school. The bottom shows an older person playfully eating food that another person is holding out for them. In the middle it says, "Why stop at free lunch for kids??"
An illustration of Hobbes' Leviathan next to a picture of a Zord toy from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It's captioned "with our forces combined we can yet prevail"
Screenshot of a website. The header says "Jill Of All Trades" followed by a line that says "Providing exceptional service since 1998". The background graphics look like a computer generated image of a table covered in leaves, and two of the leaves say "Success" and "Business"
Screenshot of a tweet: In this system absolutely no man is secure, and you instinctively know it... You strain every nerve to educate your son and give him advantages. Over whom? Over the son of your neighbor. You are told everlastingly there is room on top. On top of whom? On top of your fellow man.
An oversized bingo cage is in a dark sky. Two enclosed slides lead down from the cage to a green field. The field is divided by a dotted line, on the one side a person emerges from the slide with a smiling emoji and a mansion in the background. On the other side a person comes out of the slide with a frowning emoji and a shack in the background. The sky is labeled "Void of nothingness". The slides are labeled "Astral being-born chute". The one side of the field is labeled "Place people want to be" and the other side is labeled "Place where people aren't allowed in the other place"
A Plinko board with the top area where players drop the chip labeled "Void of Nothingness." The middle area with pegs is labeled "Get born" and the bottom receiving slots are split, with the majority labeled "Get house" and a smaller group labeled "Pay rent / be homeless"
