A letter from Nanni on your birthday.
The “Are You In The Weights” website, asking after “Manny Bothans” who did not escape…
A man and a woman wearing bathrobes. They are holding a toaster-oven containing a large black rock. The rock is evil. They shouldn’t touch it. But they do.
A very fuzzy grey and white cat screaming into the void
A chocolate lab in a small stream in a wooded area near a paved trail. The location is an amazing dog park just outside Park City, Utah.

A line from a gmail inbox. The sender is "ChatGPT". The subject is "A faster way to shop".
A Secret Service agent protecting Trump, looking off the way Vance went. Clearly thinking to himself, “Why am I stuck with this guy?”
A grey fluffy cat, in the middle of an enorrrrrrrrrrrmous yawn.
Inset from OP cover art saying “Introducing Inferno!” (but in a much cooler typeface than the alt text supports)
An image of an incoming text from an unknown number saying “Hey! What was the happiest thing that happened to you this week?”. Beneath that is a warning how this might be spam, and a Report Spam button. Below that, an unsent reply saying “I didn’t receive any spam texts at all! … oh… wait. Damnit!”
A red tailed hawk, perched on a railing, contemplating a strip of wetland between a bay-side public path and an office building.
At the top of the frame, a picture of the US secretary of labor’s husband over a NYT article title “Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports. Below that, an image of an album cover “mogwai: come on die young” consisting of a black background with the title in white text, and in the lower left corner an image of a pasty, corpulent man’s face, over exposed, red rimmed eyes, and a horrified look on his face.
Italian Olympic “Finish Line Dog” once again providing evidence that at a full gallop, all four hooves… err… paws are off the ground at the same time.
The New York Times "Spelling Bee" puzzle for February 16, 2026, containing the letters b, o, c, m, r, k, all surrounding "a". The proposed word is "barackobama". Not pictured is the "Not in word list" message when attempting to submit this entry.
A cropped screenshot of the original post as rendered on the timeline, leaving off “Pacino” on the next line, so reads as “… a role as a coked out Al”, where “AL” looks like “AI”
A red plate. On the plate in the upper right is a pair of metal tongs with blue silicone tops. Centered is an irregular disk of white, with browned and crispy looking edges. It could be a fried egg white but is actually a puddle of fried mozzarella.
A picture of RFK Jr. scooching in the carpet in the White House press room. A partial url is above the picture: theonion.com/rfk-jr-demon… where “demonstrates” from the headline has been shortened to “demon…”. That’s the joke. That RFK Jr. is a demon.
An image of a car’s odometer showing the vehicle has travelled a total of 51881 miles.
An illustration of Olivia (who later Saves the Circus) doing a handstand on the handlebar of a scooter. Olivia is an anthropomorphic pig wearing red and white striped tights, a plaid skirt, and a red beret. On her ears there are red bows. The caption reads “Gracefully, Olivia heads home.”

A green hillside from Rancho San Antonio Park near Cupertino, with a cityscape shrouded by low scudding clouds.

A screen capture of the Disney+ cancellation survey website. In the “Other” box, the text “Your spineless capitulation to illegal pressure from the FCC when you suspended/cancelled Jimmy Kimmel” appears.
A screenshot of a USPS email showing images of the mail pieces we should expect in today's delivery. At the top it shows today's date of September 18. The first mail piece image is a promotional postcard from the USPS advising that they are currently hiring Postal Inspectors, and that there are positions available nationwide. It also shows that the application window is between September 8 and 17th. Maybe these flyers were delayed because of inspections?
An image of the “Large boulder the size of a small boulder” meme.
An outline of the state of Alaska with the words "Moose" and "Fireweed" inscribed in the interior. Not going to spoil the whole comic here.
An image of the title character from "Fantastic Mr. Fox", voiced by George Clooney. The character in question is a rather dapper looking fox in 3/4 profile, wearing a corduroy jacket, holding a stem of grass while chewing on the end, and wearing a digital watch.
The guardian from Big Trouble in Little China.
A picture of Dr. Evil in his grey Nehru jacket. On reflection, looking remarkably like the groom, except for the missing sunglasses.
A picture of Camina Drummer from The Expanse.
Bongino and Patel, bug-eyed and grinning while being interviewed on Fox News about the Trump assassination attempt.
The logo of the Chesapeake Oyster Catchers minor league baseball team. An aqua background with the team name in a cursive font at the top. In the middle, an image of a baseball glove. In the glove, an oyster shell. In the shell, a baseball represents a pearl. The outline of the shell and the location of the pearl are suggestive… of a… um… thing that O’Keefe was known to paint. Often. In great detail.
A closer view via Google maps of the Almeria region. A grid of gray roads and whiter greenhouse rooftops showing rows of plants inside.
An extreme closeup of the parent post’s picture, which shows embossed in the metal the word “CANT”

A wordlebot comparison of my three step solution compared to the bot's four step solution. My "luck" was 81 compared to the bot's luck of 45.
Vector graphic of Vault Boy, from the video game Fallout.
Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka
A magic the gathering arena game board. I’m delivering 656 points of damage after my opponent gracefully gave up and let me attack instead of serially blocking the 3 200+ lions on the left. My side is a bunch of cats, generators of cats, and +1 on gaining health lions, along with three enchantments that cause opposing creatures to enter tapped and give me +1 health. My opponent had ornithopter and zombie generators, causing my lions to rack up ridiculous +1s. My ending health was 2055 because my lions getting blocked had been granted lifelink.
Creeper from Minecraft. They explode.
A 1981 photograph of Debra Harry at a knife makers’ convention followed by a comment saying “It is so nice outside.”
A pair of Yoda slippers, with feet in them.
a Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus), perched on the tippy-top of a pine tree.
A close up view of the doubling back route along with the caption saying “not too busy”. This is funny because the caption is actually referring to the nearby business and not to the level of road traffic. This is funny because of the limited context presented. Or it’s actually not funny at all, or only funny inside my head. Like my wife says. All the time.
An image of the Jan 13 Spelling Bee puzzle from the NYT Games page. The letters pictured are: J A C K B O (O) T If only there were a way to spell "BROWNSHIRT" with those letters...
A leopard near the Kruger National Park in South Africa, lounging among grasses and shrubs.
At Mala Mala Camp in South Africa, on the Sand River, grasses and sand along with a wading birb I can’t remember the name of and a big elephant and a baby elephant drinking water.
Three sibling adult male lions, two lying down and one walking between them. Seen at Mala Mala Camp in South Africa.
Rocket Raccoon holding Bucky’s arm.
A graph showing a sharp reversal over the last several days, where now Trump is at 58 and Harris at 42.
Not sure if the bridge is actually in here? An image of lyrics from the Beatles song _Elanor Rigby_. Actually, one site said the bridge is: Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people So I guess the bridge isn’t in the image after all.
The newly revealed Orb from Worldcoin... err... World... um... Sam Altman's latest torment-nexus side-hustle.
shaved beef, red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, tomatoes, herbs and spices.
An image of San Francisco, the western leg of the Bay Bridge, and Treasure Island. The lighting is from behind the camera, low and to the right so that the faces of the office towers are brightly lit, and some directly reflect the sun. The bottom half of the frame is the water of The Bay, ruffled lightly by an offshore breeze.
A screen capture of The New York Times "The Morning" newsletter for Sept 26, 2024. The introduction by David Leonhardt reads: "Good morning. We're covering a poll of undecided voters -- as well as Eric Adams's indictment, a cease-fire proposal [sic - no Oxford comma, wtf?] and Moo Deng the hippo." Below are pictures of Harris and Trump, facing each other. Harris' photo is very darkly backlit. She is presented as looming over Trump and staring intently at Trump from that darkness. Trump is brightly lit, looking away from Harris and looks like he's saying "yeesh", pulling back the corners of his mouth in disgust.
An image of Inigo Montoya saying ”you keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.”
