A photo of a TV displaying an end of day screen from “Blue Prince”. The rooms in the house blueprint are almost all filled out and the house is labeled as “St. Holly: Your New Home”.
The light pollution of an airport is in the distance, making the whole sky bright. Ain’t no stars here! In the foreground, a winglet (yunno, the cute lil cunty fins planes have on the ends of their wings?) is silhouetted against the lights with its attached wing barely visible. But the pièce de résistance is a rectangular taxiway sign in center frame. The left side is a black square with a yellow letter “L”. The right side is a yellow rectangle with the letters “EG” in black and bracketed by black arrows that point to either side. It spells, quite simply, “L EG”.
A screenshot from Firefox's news suggestion. A dark grey background is behind white text at the top reading "Thought-provoking stories". Under that is an image of a middle-aged white dude smiling like he's just having a grand ol' time. The picture is labeled with a grey box that says "Politics". Underneath the image is the text "CNN" and "What We Know About the Minnesota Shooting Suspect"
A screenshot of a headline, white text over black background in a serif font, that reads “Trump charts new territory in bypassing Newsom to deploy National Guard”
A circular space mission patch is seen. In the center, the Moon is eclipsing the Sun, with the Sun’s corona radiating out in bright yellow circles. To the left of the moon is an Orion spacecraft, completely in shadow. To the right is a docking port, also in shadow. The two face each other as if Orion is about to dock. The sky in the background is a dark blue with a scattering of white stars, along with the red planet Mars and the tan ringed planet Saturn. Text surrounds the design in a circle – the top reads “Astralis 20” as the mission name, and the bottom reads “Stott McClain Young Lovell Glenn” as the crew names. The outer border of the patch is silver.
Ambassador Soval from Star Trek Enterprise, seen from the shoulders up, doin a better half scowl half smolder than Forrest. He’s a white dude who’s still got some hair, styled in a bowl cut, unlike Admiral Male Pattern Baldness. No stupid rank pips or flightsuit-tie combo like his whipped boytoy Forrest, Soval wears comfortable yet stylish Vulcan garb, including a dark green tunic under a dark brown duster. Behind him are illustrations of various ships named Enterprise (we can see an aircraft carrier and a Space Shuttle) in floating frames hanging on the gray metal wall of Captain Archer’s Ready Room, a location where Soval gave many a dicking down, verbally and probably physically too. That round-eared can’t-make-warp-6 cuck Forrest could NEVER.
Admiral Forrest from Star Trek Enterprise, seen from the shoulders up, doin a half scowl half smolder. He’s a white dude with a hairline that’s gone pretty far back but it’s close cut and he’s rocking it honestly. His uniform is a very dark blue jacket with red and silver piping over the shoulders, and a dual rank pip consisting of three rectangles on each side. Hey, how come Archer gets 4 rectangles but he’s only a Captain? Anyways, Forrest also has on a collar shirt and tie, which I always thought looked a lil ridiculous. Behind him is a wood wall with two circular space windows showing the Golden Gate Bridge beyond. He is OOZING, positively DRIPPING sex that coagulates into a puddle at his feet probably.
The Fusion Flea from Fallout. It’s shaped roughly like a teardrop lying on its side, with the blunt end towards the front and the pointed end rounded off at the back. It sits on three wheels (2 front, 1 back) and can house a single rider, with a clear dome windshield providing visibility. The entire design is very retro-futuristic. This particular model is mostly a bright, cherry red, with a white highlight around the dome and chrome silver accents on the headlights and elsewhere.
The clasped hands meme (a painting of two muscular arms, the hands clasped together in support/solidarity). One arm is captioned “brats”, the other is “anti-fascists”, and the hands in the middle are captioned as “don’t obey in advance”
A Tumblr post. User cordeliaflight says: “My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency” To which user caracalliope responds: “Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?”
A DVD box set that is titled "Star Trek III: Voyager" with several characters in what I believe is Mandarin. The title bisects the cover with two Photoshop images above and below it. The top Photoshop image appears to be a poster for one of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies, as it features that show's cast but with hallmarks of the movie (Geordi LaForge doesn't have a visor, the ship in the background is the Enterprise-E, etc). The image on the bottom shows some sort of blue star (?) with three ships racing away from it and towards us in a sort of formation. The leftmost ship is the Enterprise-D from Next Gen, aimed left and upwards. The middle ship is the Defiant from Deep Space 9, flying more or less straight towards us and up. The rightmost ship is Voyager from Voyager, flying right and up, and the only thing on the whole poster that seems to be from Voyager itself. Overall, the product is clearly bootlegged: the quality isn't awful, but the contrast is definitely off and lends it the look of a B-movie poster.
The ride sign for Mission: Space sits under an overcast sky. The sign uses a future spacey looking font and has images of both Earth and Mars behind the text, with the sign itself protruding from half of a white sphere, possibly to represent the Moon. A large circular metal arm comes out of the sign to circle the Moon piece. Similar arms in much larger scale make up the ride’s facade, visible behind the sign. They circle around three full globes: one blue and white to represent Earth, one dark red to represent Mars, and a third smaller orange one, which is like second Mars? A little miniature spaceship is leaving the Earth globe towards the Mars one on a blue arm. Trimmed bushes and plants surround both the sign and the facade.
A reference image of Mark Samuels, an anthropomorphized river otter. Mark has fur that is predominantly chocolate brown with tan accents on the underside of his tail, the front half of his neck, and spreading out over the lower half of his face. The tan stops before spreading over the top of his snout. It’s implied that it covers some or all of his chest and stomach, but this can’t be seen, as he wears a royal blue NASA flight suit emblazoned with various mission patches, which are pictured individually on the left side of the image. The shape of the flight suit over his body suggests a physique that is in shape and muscular. His hands are uncovered, and he wears black boots on his feet. His tail protrudes uncovered from the flight suit, and wrapped around it is a black bracelet colored like a starfield and bearing a piece of metal that reads “For Small Creatures Such as We”. Above his left shoulder is a floating stack of books about space (implying an interest in the subject) and to the left of his hips is a closeup of his eye, showing the colors within. To the far right of the image, a copy of his hands and feet can be seen; the image is cropped from a larger reference. The background color is a bright yellow in the lower left, with a gradient fade to a dark blue-purple in the upper right. The background is textured in a manner reminiscent of a starfield. Finally, the handle of the artist, @vogelarts, can be seen in the lower left corner.

Under a sunny blue sky, a red pickup is driving along a highway. We’re looking at it from the back, through the windshield of the car behind it, which we can tell because of a visible glare the dash is making on the glass. The ground is in shades of white, the road light asphalt and areas beside the road covered with patchy snow. The license plate of the truck reads “RES Q”
A popular meme format as a four-panel comic in which a person is drowning, only their hand above water, before another hand enters the frame in the second panel as if to save them, before high-fiving them in the third panel and leaving them to drown in the fourth. Your friends may love you, but do they love you enough to let you drown? The text reads “Thom” in the first panel, “Me” in the second panel, “Supporting your art” in the third panel, and then a small label of “Frozen lake” over the water in the final panel.
A grey tabby is sitting on top of a bare mattress while viewed by the camera from below. Only her head, a bit of her back, and one paw are visible. She peers at the viewer with one eye open and one eye lidded partly shut. She looks judgy as FUCK. Behind her are bookshelves with a spread of titles, mostly ones about space.
An image of a DVD case for “A Boyfights Cookout”, a fictional straight-to-home-video series made by patriarch George Bluth and starring his sons in the series “Arrested Development”. The DVD case shows a backyard with a tipped-over grill. One boy is on the ground, while another is behind him and looks poised to tackle. The case also lists the film as including “Baby Buster: A Fifth Grader Wets His Bed”, a short about the youngest Bluth boy. Buster is pictured in pajamas in a small corner frame; he looks strangely pleased with himself even though he’s apparently just wet the bed.
Famous meme from American Horror Story: a woman in her 60s or 70s with blond styled hair is addressing somebody off-camera with a scornful look, saying “There’s not going to be a swimming pool, you stupid slut.” In this meme “a swimming pool” has been replaced so the caption now reads “There’s not going to be an Apollo 18, you stupid slut.”
A picture of the world's most famous shithead and failed poster, Elon Musk, in black and white. Musk is wearing a suit and looking off to the side while steepling his fingers together in a manner most sinister. An offset caption in the upper left of the frame reads "This Man Wants Children to Have Cancer"
A screenshot of an “ask me anything” exchange. An anonymous user says “Daddy im so horny. PLease help me.” (which, brother, ain’t that the mood?) Anyways, OP, username “get-you-wet”, replies “bitch im tryna survive a category 5 hurricane”
Saul Goodman (a very skeezy looking lawyer) from Breaking Bad (the meth show) is holding up his hands mid-statement like he’s convincing you of something. Top text: Objection; Bottom Text: Men With an Unwashed Asshole Can’t Have Valid Opinions.
The Netflix homescreen touts a “Featured Collection: Black Brilliance” selection. Alongside “Terror” and “American Primeval” (neither of which have posters with black people) is the documentary “American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson”. The preview loaded on the TV shows him famously putting on a glove. And during Black History Month!
The cover of “After Apollo?” by John Logsdon, showing a distant rocket lifting off above the clouds, its plume reflected in the cloudtops below. The moon is barely visible between plume and reflection, our satellite sad (or possibly happy?) that we’d be stopping visiting during the era the book chronicles.
A multicolored gray tabby cat is photographed from above, sitting on my lap outside and held in place with one hand while I was dressed in black.
Tim Robinson from “I Think You Should Leave” yells at the camera while wearing a plaid and khakis. He’s dressed like a dad, but nothing is wrong with that! He stands inside by the front door of his house, which has a fancy electronic door that he’s advertising.
Eight 24oz soda bottles lined up, all Faygo flavors from left to right Orange! (orange colored), Cream Soda! (transparent), Grape! (dark purple), Redpop! (?, medium red), Cotton Candy! (light blue, this one looks like it’ll fuck you up ngl), Peach! (red-orange), Root Beer! (brown), and Moon Mist, with a real kick! (green and for SURE not Mt Dew).

A Tumblr post from account personsonable which reads: “me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I'M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU” User miaislying replies: “Hey OP? What the FUCK does this mean?” To which OP answers: “decay exists as an extant form of life” And miaislying responds: “That’s a terrifying answer, have a nice day”
A painting by Jon McNaughton depicts a frowning Obama in black suit and red tie bearing a frightening glare as he points with his left hand to the object he holds in his right: the US Constitution, flames consuming its lower half.
GIF of Biff Tannen from Back to the Future looking down into frame as he says “Well looky what we have here!” His words are captioned at the bottom of the GIF in the Back to the Future typeface.
A hand holds up the book “Cosmonaut” by Laika L. Gagarin. On its glossy black cover stands a Cosmonaut wearing a Berkut spacesuit of the same type worn during the world’s first spacewalk. Behind the book, out of focus, stands a white spacesuit of the same type inside the glass of a museum exhibit, the far wall a bright red. A silver spacecraft is barely visible on the right edge of the frame.
Under orange lighting, a hand holds a copy of the novel “Cosmonaut” by Laika L. Gagarin. The glossy cover shows a Soviet Union Cosmonaut in a white spacesuit resembling the Berkut EVA suit, set against a black background.

The Wichita State University Shockers mascot, who appears to be … a bundle of wheat? Who’s also chewing on some wheat? It’s unclear.
The round NASA “meatball” emblem with the word “CUM” in place of the organization’s acronym.
A partial map of the US in which every visible state is labeled except for Kansas, which has instead been labeled as "United States of America".
An aerial view of a large sun-bathed parking lot. A central causeway moves horizontally across the image with limbs of slanted parking spaces springing vertically from it. The presence of cars is sporadic but not totally random; the cars seem to still cluster in some loose semblance of groups. A complex system of white arrows and “EXIT” notations point in mostly predictable directions — towards the main spur — but some veer of from this comforting assuredness of direction. They apparently prefer to chart their own path.
Atop a red and black plaid tablecloth over a circular table, a white and sand colored cat luxuriates beside a Physics textbook bearing a partially-completed page of homework and graphing calculator. Other homework implements (notes, pencil and eraser, a pencil sharpener) lay nearby.
LeVar Burton meme, refusing coffee to start the day but eagerly accepting a minor existential crisis to start the day.
