One year closer to my goal of living forever.

Vizzini from The Princess Bride talking in circles about which cup contained poison
Reject Modernity/Embrace Tradition meme inspired by ESPN’s latest round of layoffs & the general dumbing down of American culture. Sleeveless shouting Pat McAfee is the modernity to be rejected, while the long ago cancelled civil discussions of The Sports Reporters is the tradition to be embraced.
Sleepytime Tea bear, who looks content, but would probably be more comfy with his feet up
Timeline screencap of the phallic deep sea creature immediately followed by an inverse color photo of JJ McCarthy
Picture contrasting the two types of lint filters I’ve encountered in my life. The first: long & narrow, extracts with a satisfying sound and tactile sensation. Rewardingly can be cleaned with one swoop of the hand, creating a single magnificent lint ball. Part of my formative memories. The second: short & wide with a support bar in the middle. Just kinda lifts out unceremoniously. Often seems to have a thinner layer of lint, which is more difficult to remove without picking or digging from corners. Less joyous experience that feels more like the chore that it is.
Person in a crudely-constructed cardboard box robot costume, holding a sign that reads, “Free Robot Sex”
Rubio sitting there and saying nothing
Robot from Beastie Boys’ ‘Intergalactic’ video wearing a pope hat
Men’s room door with a warning sign that reads: “The restroom floor will always be a little wet for some reason. PLEASE walk carefully and pay attention please.”
“Jesus, I see what you’ve done for others” meme, stating “I see what you’ve done for Nelson Rockefeller”, a much less fashy affluent Republican from NY who reportedly died during sexual relations with his secretary.
Nissan Frontier with an “In Musk We Trust” decal
Clickbait headline that reads: “These Simple Tricks Make Sandwiches Taste Better, According to Chefs”
“Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers” written below a Burger King logo in which the words “Burger King” have been replaced in the bun by the word “Square” - because Wendy’s burgers are famously square.
News headline about Raleigh’s hottest club in a grocery store, accompanied by Bill Hader’s Stefon character from SNL, who famously loves hot new clubs in curious locations.
Koko the gorilla holding a kitty
Dodge Charger with pickup bed
Bag from Tropical Smoothie Cafe featuring a QR code and the words “Scan to keep the sun shining”
Image from the first Apple iMac ads, which had a color wheel motif similar to the Volvo brochure and featured the Rolling Stones song, “She’s a Rainbow.” These commercials played A LOT in my formative years.
Illustration of the Aesop fable about the dog and his reflection.
Two bags of gas station beef jerky, one branded as Bronco Billy’s, the other as Wild Bill’s. Both have old-timey prospector/cowboy characters. Billy’s tastes like straight-up soy sauce with a hint of smoke. Haven’t tried Bill’s yet.
Canal Insurance sign with the first letter burned out (?).
El Guapo from The Three Amigos film having a ride
Thin blue line flag with the words, “these colors do run.”
Printer with a caricature of Hulk Hogan and a speech bubble around the printer’s “brother” branding
David Lee Roth performing a jump split, presumably off a stage riser & not a tall building
Orson Welles expressing fear of Jimmy Fallon, for there is something missing in him. “At the heart of his ingratiating flailing there is a void so total I fear it longs to hunt, like the ultimate emptiness which stalks us all.”
Spider & web backlit by a floodlight, which also illuminated a blurred patch of green grass.
McDonald’s packaging for the McDLT, which some elders will recall was promoted as keeping the hot side hot and the cold side cold. Here, the cold crispy lettuce & tomato represent Church, and the hot greasy beef patty represents State.
Cracker Barrel man displaying beta posture
Family Guy racial profiling meme, using color chart to determine which players get a pronunciation guide on the online roster
Before & after remodel renderings of southern quick-serve breakfast/lunch chain, Biscuitville- which freshened its look fifteen years ago. Rebrand was not universally lauded, but culture war brain rot had not yet inspired disingenuous dipshits and general morons to decry it as “woke.”
“You guys are getting paid?” meme, but about sack tapping.
Autocorrect suggesting that when typing the brand name “NexGard” what I REALLY meant to say was “Me hard”, which wasn’t quite the case.
Albino deer
Juxtaposition of a recent ad for eyeglasses, and a screenshot of the video for The Verve’s 1997 song, Bittersweet Symphony, in which the man pictured looks nearly identical.
AI slop depicting deceased wrestlers in heaven, with typo-laden dialogue, and Hulk Hogan asking “Andre is that you?” to what is supposed to be Andre The Giant but more closely resembles the love child of Fred Savage & Sean Astin.
Surprisingly well-maintained purple PT Cruiser with a license plate depicting the logo of punk band, the Misfits. Spotted at a Whole Foods in Greensboro, North Carolina, making it unlikely to have been Glenn Danzig’s personal vehicle.
Close-up of the drunk uncle fabric that looks less like Bobby Moynihan than it does a Golden Girls era Rue McClanahan sticking out her tongue in a licky-licky-lick gesture. Please tell me I’m not the only one who sees it.
Scene from the film MIB in which it’s explained that while an individual person may be smart, groups of people collectively tend to be reactionary, dumb, panicky, and dangerous.
Weathered chair with blue muppet fur.
Screencap of a post containing the Signal group chat detailing bombing plans punctuated by Vance stating he’ll say a prayer for victory, immediately followed by Ygrene’s post of what such a prayer may sound like.
The arm wrestling meme, used in this instance to draw parallel between low-info voters and non-basketball fans who fill out brackets.
Fightin’ Christian, former mascot of then Elon College (now Elon University, home of the Phoenix), on stage with the emotionally-stunted billionaire that’s dismantling the federal government (the cringy tech bro billionaire, not the crimy demagogue one who’s out of frame).
Yard sign encoring people to get off their ass and tell fascists to get bent.
Child’s coloring book illustration of Catholic confession in which the priest is holding his hand to his head.
Scene from Lego movie when it’s revealed Mr.Business controls everything.
