Bryant would have had a plan. It would have been a *stupid* plan and it would have gotten them both killed, but he would at least have had *something*.
The above image, edited so that the blouse is black and the scarf is gold.
The text "ZOHRAN FOR New York City" made to look like the Burger King logo and slogan, with an orange bun around the red words "ZOHRAN FOR", and the brown words "New York City" below

A hardcover copy of "The Edge of Space-Time" by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, sitting on a pile of other books at the corner of my desk. You can also see the corner of my Hobonichi journal, a mermaid-themed composition book, and the ballot I have to complete and mail in. Also seen: a Micron pen and Statler mechanical pencil.

The cover of "Yukon Ho!", a Calvin and Hobbes collection by Bill Watterson, featuring the young boy Calvin (wearing a striped red shirt, black pants, white sneakers, a "space helmet" and a backpack, and looking happily at a globe) and the much taller bipedal tiger Hobbes (carrying an old-fashioned toboggan sled) walking through an autumn landscape
"Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks", by Ilya Repin. From Wikipedia: Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks depicts a supposedly historical tableau, set in 1676, and based on the legend of Cossacks sending an insulting reply to an ultimatum from the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed IV. According to the story, the Zaporozhian Cossacks (from "beyond the rapids", Ukrainian: za porohamy), inhabiting the lands around the lower Dnieper River in Ukraine, had defeated Ottoman Empire forces in battle. However, despite his army having suffered this loss to them, Mehmed demanded that the Cossacks submit to Ottoman rule. The Cossacks, led by Ivan Sirko, replied in a characteristic manner: they wrote a letter, replete with insults and profanities. The painting exhibits the Cossacks' pleasure at striving to come up with ever more base vulgarities.
Excerpt from a book, with the sentence starting "As a gift to myself" highlighted: "9:00--By this time I'm usually in bed, reading a library book or watching a movie on my phone. As a gift to myself, I open a subscription to the Hallmark Channel so I can stream unlimited romances for $5.99 a month, and they're the perfect way to unwind at the end of the night. As I turn out the light and rest my head on the pillow, I revel in the comfort of happily ever after -- of families reunited and scoundrels sent packing, of treasures recovered and honor restored."
The cover of Tamora Pierce's "The Woman Who Rides Like A Man" that I grew up with. A light-skinned woman with long red hair, wearing a white blouse, a billowing blue cape, loose blue trousers, and boots, with a sword at her hip and a black cat in her lap, riding a brown horse with brown-and-white mane and tail and white "socks". The horse is rearing slightly.
Your Delta E(OK) JND - which means "Just Noticeable Difference" for the Oklab color indexing scheme. 0.0052 Very nice. Comfortably below the 0.02 JND that the colour science people say is the limit. You'd make an excellent paint-chip inspector. Is that a job? It should be. A pair of buttons; one reads "Share result", the other "Again. I can do better." A link reading "Read the post about this", which goes to https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/too-much-color/ .
DOCFUTURE (the "O" is the full moon emoji), username @topherflorence, on Twitter, 7 October 2021: back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get to see him surf for 5 min in the finale

Your result: domestic fluff don't listen to them, you aren't boring!! two old men (they're thirty-five) doing laundry and taxes together is peak romance, actually
A four-panel cartoon by Matt Bors. Panel 1: A woman with medium-length brown hair in a red blouse looks at her phone and says "My GAWD these Trump people are racist. An angry man in a blue button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a red MAGA hat leans in and says "That attitude is what's pushing me to be racist!" Panel 2: The woman looks at the man and says "Say what?" The man gestures to her with both hands and says "Might as well! You say I'm a Nazi so, fine, I'll be a Nazi if that makes you happy." Panel 3: The woman looks dubious. "It... doesn't." The man is holding up a German military uniform coat. "I bought this Waffen SS uniform for Halloween. You'll cry 'offensive' so maybe I'll just wear it every day." Panel 4: The man is shaving his own head with an electric razor while a tattoo artist tattoos a swastika on his upper arm. "I just hate to do this. I feel bullied, really."

The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In England in the early nineteenth century fifteen hours was the ordinary day’s work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busy-bodies suggested that perhaps these hours were rather long, they were told that work kept adults from drink and children from mischief. When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say, “What do the poor want with holidays? they ought to work.” People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much economic confusion.

Text in the style of Zohran Mamdani's campaign signs, orange-yellow text in a slab font with small serifs, with a red drop shadow on a blue background, in all caps, with the word "FOR" in a smaller brush-style font and the word "THIS?" in a middle-height sans-serif font: I SHAVED MY BALLS for THIS?
An antique rectal insufflation device, consisting of a bellows made of wood, leather, and brass studs, along with various attachments and tubes, in a wooden case with green lining. Used in the 18th century at resuscitation stations along the Thames, among other places, to attempt to revive victims of drowning by blowing tobacco into their rectums.

The title screen for BATTLEZONE, a 1980 wireframe tank-combat arcade game by Atari. The screen is entirely phosphor green and red on black, and shows a mountain landscape with buildings in the closer ground and a crescent moon over the mountains, with the foreshortened text BATTLE ZONE (in two lines). At the top are a red clock and score indicator, and at the bottom is the copyright text (Atari 1980).

When did America get this cruel? The Coldplay public humiliation is a cautionary tale of atrophied American privacy. It’s also an indictment of the tech-induced loss of human discretion and the warping of common decency by the thirst for an attention-getting and sometimes monetizable post.
A series of Tumblr posts. broadacre posts: Snoop Dogg watching the Skateboarding finals with an unidentified man (a photo of Snoop and Tony Hawk at the Olympic Skateboarding finals. Snoop is clapping and Tony is cheering with his fist in the air.) ofgoodstars posts: (a screenshot of lew-basnight's tags: "it's too bad Tony Hawk wasn't there he'd have loved that") The joke is that Tony Hawk, famous for being a professional (and virtuoso) skateboarder, very often posts about encounters with people who know his name but don't recognize his face.

A fairly blurry phone photo of two skunks in a yard, in front of a chain-link fence. Behind the fence the undergrowth is overgrown. In the foreground, to the left is a bird feeder bereft of birds; to the right is part of an evergreen tree.
Kimiko followed me! Did "she" change "her" username emoji from a yellow heart to a star, or is this yet another identical pornbot?
Two Pike posts in sequence: "[does a gay little pose to piss you off]" and "Hmm" at follow notifications from two porn bots with identical-but-mirrored avatars
A patient care poster from Sparrow Hospital illustrating the colors associated with departments: royal blue for patient care technicians/assistants, hunter green for registered nurses, grape for licensed practical nurses, light blue for surgery, navy blue for support operations services technicians, wine red for respiratory, radiation, and imaging, pewter for EMTs, paramedics, inpatient lab techs, lift team, laboratory, and phlebotomists, caribbean blue for safety sitters, black and white for food and nutrition, black polo shirt for patient representatives and unit coordinators, and dark green polo shirt for ... other patient representatives and unit coordinators.
A selection from Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style", supposedly illustrating a shift from passive to active voice: "There were a great number of dead leaves lying on the ground." vs. "Dead leaves covered the ground." "The sound of a guitar somewhere in the house could be heard." vs. "Somewhere in the house a guitar hummed sleepily." "The reason that he left college was that his health became impaired." vs. "Failing health compelled him to leave college." "It was not long before he was very sorry that he had said what he had." vs. "He soon repented his words."

Another major concern for any future human settlement of the ocean involves the aquatic animals that already call it home. Our species has already done a pretty bang-up job of preserving these wild spaces, and tossing down massive chunks of metal as living quarters—even with the goal of studying 90 percent of the sea life that lives in the sunlight zone—could disrupt a habitat that’s already struggling to survive in an increasingly warming world.
A black cat only barely awake, curled up and looking at the camera. He's lying on a teal blanket on a brown-and-grey plaid couch, with pillows behind him and a gym bag on one arm of the couch. Behind the couch is a shelf with books to one side.

The caption reads "I don't know. I've never understood it."
A bunch of people - mostly young women - at a party, holding red Solo cups, looking at the camera as if the viewer has done something awkward and shameful
Two GIFs from the 1992 movie "Sneakers". Robert Redford as Martin Bishop is talking to River Phoenix as Carl: Carl, unfurling a building blueprint: It's fascinating what $50 bucks can get you at the county recorders office. Martin: Where'd you get the $50 dollars?
A smiling woman with red-orange glasses, green skin, purple eyes and lips, and thick, gleaming snakes in place of hair, all with red eyes and looking attentively in various directions.
The poster for "Forbidden Planet", with an "AMAZING!" stamp to the side, showing a 1950s sci-fi robot, Robby, carrying Altaira, an unconscious pale woman with long blonde hair and a form-fitting gold dress, in his arms, in front of a sci-fi background: an alien planet with ghostly mist in the sky, a round "moon base" facility with a spire in the distance, and a ringed moon in orbit.
A red-haired, pale-skinned woman in her early 40s, with red hair in an indeterminate updo and wearing a brown/maroon jacket and a blue button-up shirt, addresses the camera in front of a museum backdrop: "Millions of young men died during the war, but fortunately humankind had discovered a new kind of man, the woman."
Patrick Stewart, a white man in his 40s with dark eyebrows and no other hair on his head, as the character Jean-Luc Picard. He is wearing a blue Starfleet uniform from "The Next Generation" with a black stripe across the shoulders, and a communicator pin shaped like a white asymmetrical arrowhead over a bronze oval. He has a neutral expression on his face. The rank pips on his collar, a full circle and an empty circle, indicate that he is a lieutenant, junior grade.
