A crudely drawn image of a man eating a sandwich. The following words are written around it: "I WISH MY WIFE WOULD LET ME HAVE A MAN CAVE! THE CLOSEST THING I'VE GOT IS THIS HOAGIE DUNGEON, AND THAT'S JUST A CLOSET SHE MAKES ME EAT HOAGIES IN BECAUSE THE SOUNDS I MAKE WHEN I'M EATING DISGUST HER... ...SHE SAY'S IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M TRYING TO SPEAK IN THE PREDATOR'S LANGUAGE."
Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven. He stands in the rain, black hat and duster, face slightly bloodied. He is snearing out an order to the town to bury his friend and a threat to return and kill their families if they do not comply. A gun is in his waistband, still hot from killing a dozen men including the sheriff and the unarmed bar keep. Torrential rain falls from the sky. The frame is split between light and darkness with the darkness winning by an inch. Eastwood is split almost 50/50. The American flag is burry in the background, on the side of the light but hovers only over left side of his body, where a gun is holstered but not the hand he would use to reach it.
Image of a large, bald, bearded man with extensive body hair looking somehow both tired and intimidating with the text "Some wrestlers are just fuckin stupid I don't know what to tell you" - Big Damo @DamoMackle

Openly gay singer Ghaal of Gorgoroth, Wardruna, and Godseed. He has fixed a 1000 yard stare on the camera, ice blue eyes blinking slowly. His face and beard covered in white corpse paint with black lipstick and dark black shapes around his eyes. Long, wet brown hair frames his face. There is blood on his forehead and dripping from his mouth as his lips move in a whisper. The background behind him is red smoke.
Thekla, a woman with bleach blonde hair in a pink jacket, stands behind Skye Blue, a woman with dark hair and striking black and silver eye make up. Thekla is grinning, Skye Blue looks piteous. Thekla is saying "I'd love to stop calling people dumb bitches! But there are just too many dumb bitches."
A wet, wild eyed, disheveled Joe Spinell attempting to reason with someone while holding a broken bottle of Moet menacingly.
Graph of overdose deaths in the US going back a decade with a clear spike starting in 2019, peaking in 2023 then beginning to fall.
Toni Storm dressed as Carmen San Diego.
A ridiculous gold Nambu Type 14 pistol that is, somehow, also a katana.
Gif of a person in a jumpsuit walking through a mirrored hallway, bathed in orange light from the film Beyond the Black Rainbow.
Jessica Harper as Suzy Bannion in Suspiria, drenched both by the rain and the stark colors of Argento's lighting as she's in the back of a German cab, isolated, not speaking the language, completely alone, and aware that something is wrong.
Cover for White Zombie's La Sexorcisto, Devil Music, Volume One. The band members are dressed somewhere between grunge and heavy metal. The color scheme is purple, neon green, yellow, and orange. Theres a psychedelic and early exploitation film style aesthetic overall.
Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom of Speech” in which a man stands at a town hall to bravely tell everyone in attendance to eat his entire ass.
Joe Spinell dressed in a leisure suit in Maniac during a rare scene in which he is interacting with a woman he is not yet planning to scalp.
Posters for the last four movies I’ve watched with ratings. Death Walks On High Heels (2.5 stars), Summer of Sam (4 stars, rewatch), The Nude Vampire (3.5 stars), and Crazy Desires of a Murderer (2 stars).
René Magritte’s The Treachery of Images. A realistically rendered image of a pipe above the text “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” In English this would be translated “this is not a pipe.”
Joe Spinell. He's in a densely patterned shirt with a bow tie, greasy as the day is long, his hair is wild and matted, a thin mustache frames his lips mid sentence, his wild eyes are deeply set in a deeply lined face, he's trying to convince you of something, talking with one hand, wielding the jagged remains of a Moet bottle in the other.
Ernest Borgnine, a with several gaps in his smile, a broad nose, a square face, a square jaw, and massive eyebrows. He looks like a cartoon gangster and he is incredible.

Norman Rockwell’s painting “Freedom of Speech” in which a man has earnestly stood up to voice an opinion during a crowded town hall.
Joe Spinell with a thin mustache, grinning, standing next to a 35mm camera. He's wearing a white suit, black shirt, white tie, black pocket square, thin red scarf, and fedora. He's smoking a cigarette in a cigarette holder thats easily 8 inches long.
Gustave Klimt's painting Judith I. A hammered and embossed yellow metal frame says "JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES" with embossed curly cues. The painting itself is ephemeral, with Judith essentially topless, adorned in sheer gauzy blue. Her gown, necklace, and belt are painted in gold leaf, as is much of the background. She has a look thats a mix of serenity, relief, and ecstasy on her smirking, heavy lidded face, lips just slightly parted suggesting both sexuality and threat. Less than halfway in the frame she holds the severed head of Holofernes, though it is something you might miss if you were only glancing. His eyes are closed, his mouth perhaps slack though it is shrouded in shadow. He is an afterthought.
A poster for Narrow Margin with Gene Hackman and Anne Archer.
Poster for Park Chan Wook's Stoker. Nicole Kidman stands dourly. Mia Wasikowska stands with a key around her neck, a pencil in her hand, and an inscrutable expression on her face. Matthew Goode looks vague unsettling. The tagline "DO NOT DISTURB THE FAMILY" IS OVER THEIR IMAGES.
Four still from Jess Franco's The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein. The first is a close up on a silver, wide eyed Frankenstein's monster. The second is the same silver monster on a table being worked on by an elderly man. The third is a screaming Cagliostro dressed inexplicably in Roman attire. The fourth is a bloody mouthed Melissa the Bird Woman staring at the sky in ecstasy after eating a man. There is nothing to suggest she is a bird.
Joe Spinell as Frank Zito with shoulder length hair coming to a widow's peak in front, smiling and oily, a thin mustache over his smirk, wearing a cream tweed jacket and a maroon dress shirt unbuttoned down at least 3 buttons with a wide 70s collar.
A 1 liter bottle of Original Green River Pop. The label advertises that the bright green beverage is caffeine free and has been produced since 1919. Next to it is a large cup containing a Gree River Float which is vanilla custard floating amongst neon green pop.
Norman Rockwell painting "Freedom of Speech" in which a man is standing in the center of a room saying something while other people are looking up at him. It is unclear if his opinion is appreciated.
A poster for Split Second. It features Rutger Hauer walking against a black background in black leather pants and a black leather trench coat, holding some kind of fuck huge gun slung over his shoulder. Behind him a giant, jet black monster with long claws and xeon-morph teeth looms menacingly. The poster says "he's seen the future...now he has to kill it. He'll need bigger guns."
A non monogamy compass result with a red dot that falls in the "#tradlife" quadrant. The axes are listed "limits other to doesn't limit other" and "interested in many to interested in one." The quadrants are labeled (left to right, top to bottom) "biblical patriarch" "#tradlife" "polycule slutcloud" and "practical progressive". The result suggests that this person is about a quarter of the way into the "limits other" category and about as far into the "interested in one" category.
An image of two muscular arms shaking hands. One is labeled "ugly on the inside" the other is labeled "just plain ugly." Where the hands meet it says "this fucking guy."
A daguerreotype of John Brown, aged and clean shaven, arms crossed, face creased, jaw set, eyes both cold and one fire. His expression suggests resignation, although its difficult to read.
