Wrote a huge thing about reality TV one time. Feed SFW visually but definitely not mentally.

Front covers of (clockwise from top left) "Pucking Around" by Emily Rath, "The Deal" by Elle Kennedy, "The Pairing" by Casey McQuiston, and "Boyfriend Material" by Alexis Hall.
Small pile of books.
Simpsons clip of the Australian Prime Minister, floating nekkid in a lake, being yelled at by two locals who call him Andy.
Cover of Winging It with You by Chip Pons. In front of a backdrop that appears to be an airport runway being illuminated by aurora borealis for some reason, a nerdy white dude with glasses and a pilot (who is Latino in the book but honestly the image kind of doesn't give that impression?) do the awkward leaning-kiss thing like it's that one sailor photo from the end of World War II, only not as impressive.
Heated Rivalry screenshot pair. Part 1: "Do you want that problem to go away?" Part 2: "I don't ever want that problem to ever go away."
Sunset, taken from inside a train carriage. The ground is dark enough that the reflection from inside the brightly-lit carriage is bright as day where the ground should be visible.
Simpsons meme showing Hans Moleman in a phone booth being attacked by birds, captioned "no, that's too blunt a metaphor".
Fridge/freezer door covered in magnets from various holidays around Australia.
Instagram screenshot of a bearish man celebrating his 50th birthday.
Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Man saying "You're on the wrong continent."
Man saying "You're on the wrong continent."
Local theatre, sunny day.
City between water and mountains.
Graphic design is America's passion.
Cover of See You at the Finish Line by Zac Hammett. Two young men - one a buff blonde dude in a singlet and short shorts holding an oar so you know he's a rower, the other a much shorter brunette with books and a backpack so you know he's a nerd - stand near each other on a riverbank as two boats row along it between them. Quite why they're not on boats given the theme of the story, or why the boats appear coxless when "the small dude is the coxswain of the cocky bigger dude's boat" is the entire setup, is unclear.
Go-Jo standing with a lady watching a kid busk. (I don't want to stereotype but based on ethnicity I would guess the lady is the kid's mother?)
Lisa Simpson, friendless nerd, dressed in what she thinks cool people wear.
Sign on apartment building entrance reading "Doors not woking (sic) come around the back door entrance near the sushi entrance".
Shop window Labubu mannequin, with a bunch of plastic flowers on a vine connected to its body.
Ornamental rock that looks like an ornamental cock.
Shot of the Sydney skyline with the Chinese Gardens of Friendship in the foreground and the creatively-named Sydney Tower towering in the background.
Pins being sold in the Sydney Opera House gift shop, with a white silhouette of the Opera House's sails overlaid on the colourful Progress Pride flag.
Shop window showing an ugly AI slop T-shirt of a koala with a beer waving an Australian flag, captioned "KOALAFIED TO PARTY". The flag on the koala's shirt is the wrong colour.
Ferry docked beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Theme park attraction sign spelled - and I am not doing this for comic effect, people using screen readers to understand this - "DDDDODGEMMMCCCITYYY".
Theme park signage pointing to a dodgem car attraction. The arrow leads directly beneath a second sign saying "Chill Zone".
Theme park billboard advertising "fresh burgers only at Helter Skelter". In the background, a food truck labelled Ek'sentrik Cafe that also has burgers on its menu.
Luna Park (Sydney) entrance, a giant open-mouthed face betwixt two minarets.
Allegedly.
Museum info plaque reading, in part, "Did you know beats can stand and even walk on two legs for short distances? Standing allows the bear to sniff the air or listen to sounds. Beats also stand up when fighting or 'showing off'."
Banner with just the word "Bloodsuckers" in bold lettering.
Hotel room that feels like it should have been posted by that Liminal Spaces account. Faux wooden floors. The dinkiest little lightweight IKEA box table you ever did see. A TV randomly sitting not quite in the corner but not prominent enough to draw your attention, like it's an Olympic cauldron trying to hide in plain sight as you watch Kyrgyzstan or whoever march into the stadium.
Central Station, Sydney.
Shot of a NSW train sitting in the platform of Roma Street station in Brisbane.
Entry sign for the exhibition "Make a Scene: Fashioning Queer Identity and Club Culture in the 90s" at Queensland Museum.
T-shirt reading "I Need My Space". It's got an astronaut on it because museum, but also it's a museum so probably a little o' the 'tism too.
Solero (before).
Wayfinding sign on the outside of the Gabba stadium, marked "Gate 6-7".
Sunset over Brisbane.
Yonic peach.
...thing?
Two ceramic dogs painted in weird colours. Who's a good gargoyle? You are!
The Big Pelican, Noosaville, Queensland.
Plate of poffertjes covered with strawberries, icing sugar, a scoop of ice cream, and hot caramel syrup. LEKKER.
Night market entrance, sun receding in the sky.
Sandwichboard stating lawn renovations are in progress and that while underway, "functions and events", "organised group activities", "exercise", and "sports" are all forbidden. Please make your public orgies impromptu accordingly.
Shot of the Peanuts joke with Lucy promising to hold the football steady for Charlie Brown to kick but she never does. A photo of Orange Julius Caesar is over Lucy's face, a silhouette of Iran is placed over the football, and the stripe on Charlie's shirt is replaced with a generic stock market line graph.
Empty beach, calmish waters, cloudy blue sky.
Two screens showing train departures - the one on the left a blinding mix of coloured bars showing the next six trains, the one on the right an even uglier screen showing a list of stations in white on a burnt yellow background. On both screens, all of the writing is presented in Arial typeface like it's 1997.
Sign advertising The Friends Experience (or possibly Friends The Experience?) in Brisbane.
Screencap showing they ran out of paint.
Promo banner for the NZ sitcom "New Zealand Spy".
Cover of You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian. Still the same as it was a couple of posts in this thread ago.
Former football player covered in tattoos and a walrus moustache, wearing a big gold watch, a big gold necklace, and the fanciest green and white Hawaiian shirt you ever did see, presumably to distract from his Ken doll hair and enormous blindingly white teeth.
Country Cob Bakery, Kyneton.
Exterior shot of Country Cob Bakery & Cafe, taken from across the road.
Disembodied hand holding Cat Sebastian's "You Should Be So Lucky" on a Melbourne suburban train.
Decent chips, decent salad, Parma fucked up so badly it looks more like an okonomiyaki.
