Screenshot of a Bluesky feed. A Double Fine post about their new lighthouse game, “Keeper,” appears just below a repost of a TikTok video entitled “Fun facts from a lighthouse.” The video features a weathered man with a big white beard who resembles Tim Schafer, but who is allegedly an unrelated lighthouse keeper from Norway named Paal.
A file size indicator reading one point twenty-one gigabytes.
An Atari 2600 Combat cartridge.
A cartoon depicting an orange with Donald Trump’s hairstyle, bloodshot eyes, and a huge mouth, messily devouring an American flag.
A small stack of automobile tires, complete with rims, and a hand-lettered sign reading, "free." There are three tires.
A crude drawing shows The Angriest Dog in the World, from the classic David Lynch comic strip of the same name. (Lynch died today at 78 and will be much missed.)
A flyer for a book launch party. The book is called Monday, the author is called Andy Hartzell, and the event is Tuesday, January 14th, from 7-9 p.m. The venue is Silver Sprocket in San Francisco. No address is given, but you can probably Google that. It's somewhere in the Mission district.
An album cover showing five young men dressed in black, posing in the middle of a road and looking dangerous. Very metal.
X, the band, not the social media app. On stage at the Mystic Theater.
A large pumpkin with its stem cut in half, posed with a rather wicked-looking saw tool meant for cutting limbs off of trees.
A crossword puzzle, clearly on paper in a physical book. The answer in the lower left corner of the grid is “corpses.”
A yellow and black hospital band reading “fall risk” dangles from the crossbar of a kitchen stool.
A “Siri Suggestion” phone notification reads, “Corpse in the chimney”
Bright yellow wrist band reads, “FALL RISK” in bold capital letters.
Election Live Updates: Trump Calls for Efficiency Commission Pitched by Elon Musk Donald J. Trump proposed the commission and said Mr. Musk would lead it, conducting a sweeping audit of the federal government and recommending "drastic reforms" for cutting waste.
Promo image for the game "Total Annihilation."
A typewriter, augmented and half covered by various engine parts, tubes, lenses, canisters, and machinery, which appears to be writing a poem by itself.
A number of delicious golden brown homemade onion rings, frying in a Dutch oven.
A hand holding a boxed copy of "The Morrison Game Factory," still in it's shiny shrink wrap.
Coffee mug featuring the logo of the game “The Big Big Castle”
Demo screen of a video game featuring two birds talking to each other. Each bird has a word balloon filled with pictures rather than with words. Both balloons clearly indicate that what is being said is that the bird has enjoyed talking with the other bird.
A boxed copy of Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space.
A bag of “soy sauce flavored candy.”
Text describing Matt Gaetz, with the common parenthetical afterwards indicating the party and state the person represents, and this one reads R-HELL.
Heads of two cartoon bakers, cheek to cheek, with a doughnut superimposed over them in the center, giving the overall impression that their heads are fused and they share an enormous, unblinking, doughnut-shaped eye.
A recipe card for tuna cheese macaroni loaf. There is a picture of the loaf, which looks like a large sponge that has been used for a long time without cleaning it.
A recipe card for Tomato Aspic. The photograph shows an opaque red molded gelatin, resting on salad greens, and decorated with sliced cucumbers and olives that make it look like a video game alien.
Status display from a game, reading "100.02% of miles of street named," and, "2340 streets found."
Photo from a recipe for homemade lollipops. The lollipops are translucent, so it is easy to see that the ends of the sticks inside the pops are extremely sharp.
A recipe for “egg salad and bologna rolls.”
Two plastic boxes of recipes from 1973.
The letters are now in proper order, and they spell out "Return to Monkey Island."
The letters now spell out "inkey land."
Several letters are arranged on the floor to spell out "lank mod."
One of the packages is unwrapped. It is a stylized letter M.
A bunch of packages in odd shapes, wrapped up in tape and packing material so you can't tell what they are. They are arranged in a vague rectangle but clearly they don't really fit together like that.
An off-white fleshy cylinder sits partially submerged in a pot of pale brown liquid with capers. Atop the cylinder are reddish fleshy strips arranged to look like crude stitches, interspersed with what appear to be the eyeballs of two hapless creatures. It definitely looks like a prop from a horror movie where some of the castle guests are missing at dinner.
Our Rich Heritage. American cooking has a long and colorful tradition. When the Pilgrims first landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620, they found the Indians cooking with such foods as cranberries and pumpkins, corn and maple syrup - foods unknown to Europeans at the time, but now known and cherished throughout the world. At the first Thanksgiving, Pilgrims and Indians joined together to feast on wild turkey and venison. Over the centuries, as the frontier expanded and the United States grew to be the greatest nation in the world, and I’m not kidding, this is what it says, and I just don’t think I can go on typing this out. You’ve heard the fun part already anyhow.
A card titled “our rich heritage,” featuring a picture of several food items. There is a tomato aspic, a pot of stew filled dangerously to the brim, a cake or cheesecake with strawberries and mint leaves on top, a cruet of what might be vinegar or maple syrup, and a somber black teapot. These are presented in front of a needlepoint sampler in shades of brown, depicting something that might be alien plant life or a spilled box of electronics components. In the top right corner is an icon of the Liberty Bell.
A recipe card for “baked corn pudding”. This side is just a picture of the pudding, which is a congealed mass of yellowish substance, peppered with mysterious red chunks and kernels of canned corn. It is served in an amazing red mid-century American casserole dish with spirals on the sides.
Jar of small ceramic skulls with a safety seal labeled “sealed for your protection.”
Bluesky profile for Satan, including the text “follows you.”
