Book cover with a red and purple title "What not to wear for every occasion". Below the title is a photo of the authors, Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine, sitting on a white floor with white background, Susannah has one arm draped loosely around Trinny's shoulder, and they're smirking with snug superiority at the camera through straightened blonde hair like two overgrown private all-girls school bullies. They are both wearing awful 2000s outfits in colours resembling the shirt Andrew Tate wore when arrested.
Image of a ballerina, wearing a tutu and doing up her pointe shoes next to the slogan "Fatima's next job could be in cyber. (she just doesn't know it yet)" This was a billboard ad from a UK Government ad campaign for vocational training from a few years ago. It was thoroughly mocked for its ridiculous slogan, and criticised for being patronising and racist (the ballerina is a brown skinned young woman).
Screenshot from the final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer showing Buffy, Willow and Xander walking away down a school corridor in the background. In the foreground we see Anthony Stewart Head as Rupert Giles, in a grey shirt and dark jacket, facing forwards but looking off to the side, saying "The Earth is definitely doomed".
Airbus Beluga plane coming in to land on a runway at an Airbus factory. It's a cargo plane with a bulbous fuselage designed to hold aircraft parts that need to be transported between Airbus factories during the construction process. The shape of the fuselage resembles a beluga whale, and the livery is kept mostly white (like the whale) with a big smiling face painted on the front, like it's a character in a children's picture books. It's the dorkiest, most adorable plane in the world.
The character Derek from the tv show The Good Place. Derek is seated, his upper body visible in the image. He is in formal evening attire, holding up a martini glass as if in mid-toast. The martini glass is filled to the brim with green olives that are stuffed with what looks like red peppers. Derek has a full dark beard that is slightly greying, and a full head of dark hair. He looks extraordinarily pleased with himself and his martini glass of olives. The background of the image shows 1990s salmon pink living room décor that isn't great, but isn't horrible either. It's just very very mid.
simple, old-school pour over coffee filter holder of the kind that you stand on top of your mug or coffee pot, put a filter and ground coffee in, and then manually pour hot water over The one in the image is a cheap and simple one made out of dark brown plastic, but nice ones made from ceramic are also very affordable and don't shed microplastics I have one that cost me under ten Euros, It's quick and easy to use, it takes up no counter space, and there's no mess or laborious clean up required Also, Palantir will never be able to use it to spy on you.
grainy image of the most boring looking middle aged white man in the world, in a boring grey suit, seated at a microphone during a news conference, looking a bit confused in his reading glasses as he looks down at a handwritten note he is reading from
German high speed train running on tracks through a green early summertime landscape. The train is white with a red stripe running along its length, and the locomotive bears the letters ICE (which stand for Inter-City Express).
Youth climate activist Greta Thunberg holding a placard that says "Stand with Gaza". She is sitting on a chair. On the back of the chair, above her left shoulder, she has placed a popular children's toy - a cute little blue octopus plushie with a reversible happy/ sad face. She has placed it so the octopus is showing its sad face.
Image of a Westmark jar opener - a red metal triangular contraption that slots onto jars and grips the lid, giving you leverage to easily twist the lid off. The one depicted here is in its packaging.
