A large multicoloured neon sign showing a woman talking into a telephone. Beneath, a speech bubble says 'Sorry I can't come to work any more... I've just realised I'm a lazy bitch!'
A street sign that says 'Hoe Street'.
The EA Sports logo only 'Sports' has been replaced with 'Nasir', a reference to famous Babylonian purveyor of low quality copper Ea-Nasir. Yes I should be working.
Literally every gayboy over 20. Not really. It's actually a shoulders-up shot of the Chuckle Brothers, in blue shirts, mullets and moustaches resplendent, looking to the left with worried expressions.
Screencap of Wikipedia page as follows: Pope John numbering Contentious reginal numbers of popes named John The numbering of popes named John does not occur in strict numerical order. Although there have been twenty-one legitimate popes named John, the numbering has reached XXIII because of two clerical errors that were introduced in the Middle Ages: first, antipope John XVI was kept in the numbering sequence instead of being removed; then, the number XX was skipped because Pope John XXI counted John XIV twice.
A poster for Bay Area Death fest. It's black and covered in the usual scrawly illegible metal band logos, apart from Party Cannon which is in brightly coloured bubble writing.
It's the 'Why can't you just be normal?' meme. In the top panel, a distressed mother shouts 'Why can't you just me normal?' In the bottom, a writhing, manic child screams with mouth agog. Only I put the logo for Affinity Designer over their face. In Paint.
The famous Elvis rock on the A44 in Powys, a Welsh landmark. It's the name 'Elvis' crudely painted on a rocky outcrop, at the side of a road.
It's a black post for a pedestrian crossing button. It's badly bent in two places and has been wrapped in white tape that looks amusingly like a bandage.
A view looking over Newport town to the shore and sea, with a wide blue, cloud-spattered sky above and hedgerow in the immediate foreground.
A tube of squirty cheese that claims, implausibly, to be brie.
A message from my bank. It says 'We've estimated that you could get a first time buyer's mortgage of £0k. This is based on what we think your income is. To see your actual lending amount, complete a Mortgage in Principle.'
A 1980s black and white photograph of a young woman with her head in her hands and an exasperated expression. A speech bubble says 'This isn't happening. It's a nightmare. I've got to get out of here.'
A screencap from Return of the Obra Dinn. It shows a page from the in-game journal which reads 'VII: The Doom'.
An imitation of the 'SS' insignia with the letters 'ICE' substituted. White rune-like text on a black circle. Over the top, in red, the words 'Murdering people in the street is what fascists do.'
A facetious imitation of a recent controversial post on Bluesky. There are two versions of the Bluesky logo, a blue butterfly symbol. One, labelled 'original', and another, labeled 'modded version', with boobs and a curvy ass added.
A piece of embroidery. A splotch of loosely geometric shapes in tortoiseshell colours. In negative space, the words 'goodbye forever' split across two lines. After the 'goodbye', the embroidery threads have been cut to make a hole, revealing a red embroidered comma underneath.
A picture of a grey cat lying on all fours with a peeved expression and some serious airplane ears. This is just what she's like.
A 'flasher', back turned, opens their trenchcoat to accost an unimpressed woman in the street.
A vaguely cube-shaped supercomputer that also looks like a robot with its head in its hands. Deep Thought, from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film.
A 'lollipop stick' style placard in a cluttered cupboard. The placard says 'sissy femboy' and has a graphic of a dick being jerked off.
A photo of Xi Jinping shaking hands with Vladimir Putin
A screencap from the Guardian website. It says: 'Jeremy Vine looks back: 'What will I do after Radio 2? I don't know. Die?''
A sheep's shoulder blade, on which is inscribed 'How could I resist?' in black sans serif letters.
A graphic with the words 'Learn how to resist while you still can' on a blue-to-red gradient background.
A WhatsApp conversation with Meta AI. I ask it how to disable it. It gives me some instructions. None of them work. I insult it, and it grovels.
A very rough sketch of a book cover. A spaceship emerges at an angle from a water 'sky' leaving ripples behind it. The title is Sky to Sea and the author is Septimus Brown - these are on a bright orange background.
The housing of a destroyed CRT television, lying on its back on the ground, with plants growing through it.
The cover of Oryx and Crake, a dystopian sci-fi novel by Margaret Atwood.
Black text on yellow in the style of a hazard sign. The text reads 'Silence will never speak for you'.
A cuboid four-compartment waste bin made of slightly battered sheets of aluminium, sat on a pallet on the grass.
Three pieces of dirty and knackered irregular aluminium sheets from the external walls of a long-dead caravan. The sheets are lying on the grass.
A sample sentence in a new script for the English language.
A range of logos for an imaginary company called 'Hell's Heart', based around the idea of two interlocking abstracted letter Hs.
The title page of a dissertation. It says: MAINTAINING PROFITABILITY UNDER FASCIST OLIGARCHY by F.U. Chursenator A Dissertation Submitted to Harvard Business School Harvard University As partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Business Administration February 2025
Box art for Secret Files: Tunguska, a 2006 point and click adventure game.
A Grenfell memorial design, modelled in SketchUp. It's the size and shape of the tower, but hollow - a roof supported by 12 columns that fade from grey to blue as they ascend. It's like a wireframe or ghost of the original.
A screencap of many boxes with tiny, illegible text in. The plan for my next game thing.
A screencap of some comments on the itch page for my recent bitsy game.
A screencap from a Spotify playlist called 'Songs about cake in places it shouldn't be'. The only two songs are 'Cake by the Ocean' and 'MacArthur Park'.
A picture of Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute, where his arm takes the place of a needle on a gauge. It is pointing to the lowest, worst part of the gauge, which is also on fire.
An absurd AI spam advert for an exercise routine, in which shirtless men who with more muscles than physically exist tenderly (slightly too tenderly) hug lions, tigers and bears. Oh my!
