a variant cover of Wilco’s 1999 album Summerteeth: a blue duotone of Jack Moebes’s photograph of a young woman blowing a bubble, which looks like a full moon with a pair of lips
It’s a bullet. Big hunk of… well, some copper alloy, I guess? I’m not a gun person. It’s damaged, what with going through two panes of glass and some aluminum window hardware and all.
The Pik ’N Pay mart from _Repo Man_ (1984): every product is generic, in a white packaged labeled with its contents (e.g. “yellow cling sliced peaches,” “corn flakes,” “beer”) in navy blue lowercase Rockwell, with a solid horizontal light blue line underneath.
A bar chart of high temperatures in Kelvin, where 0 on the y-axis is absolute zero; all the temperatures are either 306.5K or 307.6K, and the bars are indistinguishable in height
A chart of childhood blood lead levels, showing how shockingly high they are among the Generation X cohort relative to other age groups
An emotion chart: a wheel of three concentric rings and dozens of different words to express subtle variations of feelings. It has been separated into three categories. The entire wedge of Angry emotions is labeled “I’M 100% RATIONAL HI-IQ~!!!1!” The single emotion Aroused is labeled “(brb, goonin’)”. The entire rest of the chart, comprising the vast majority of the human emotional range, is labeled “WTF, BRO, THIS IS SO CRINGE”

Top-down view of Parry, a gray tabby, asleep curled up in a rectangular cat bed. The carpeted edges of the bed can almost — but not quite — contain his chongage.

A magazine clipping with a photo of Andre the Giant: “I don’t like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.” (The original context may have been kayfabe, but it revealed a deeper truth.)
A photo of “Le Génie du Mal” by Guillaume Geefs (1848) in St. Paul’s Cathedral of Liège, a classic white marble statue of a smokin’ hot Lucifer; the hair has been recolored bright blue to match that of Luce, the chibi anime-style mascot the Vatican announced for Holy Year 2025
A cherry red Honda NQ50 49cc scooter, better known as the Spree, produced from 1984–87. It wasn’t as cool as the DEVO-endorsed Elite 150, but it was street legal without a motorcycle license.

Venus Xtravaganza was found murdered in a hotel room in December 1988. She was 23 years old.

A photo (not mine) of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s Even Worse… on cassette, of course. The album art is a parody of Michael Jackson’s Bad, and the cassette shows the track list for side 1: Fat, Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White, (This Song’s Just) Six Words Long, You Make Me, and I Think I’m a Clone Now.
Kamala Harris shows off her album purchase: _The Curtain Hits the Cast_, the 1996 early-era masterpiece of Duluth’s own Low
the opening scene of Skyrim, except instead of Ralof it’s cheerful Fenriz, and instead of “you’re finally awake” he’s saying “Hey, hey, it’s Fenriz. Are you having a great Friday?” This is hilarious if you enjoy both Skyrim memes and second-wave black metal memes, I promise
Text message: “— has the best edition of the Bros K I have ever seen” Photo: worn paperback copy of The Brothers Karamazov with cover art of a sullen bald man sitting and playing an acoustic guitar and a blonde woman assuming a bodice-ripper pose awkwardly positioned between between the man’s arm and the neck of his guitar
Sera (from Dragon Age: Inquisition) is excited — as if she has recently filled a glass jar with bees, and is anticipating throwing it at some powerful bastard.
