two panels from Achewood by Chris Onstad, the American Shakespeare. Ray & Beef are both dressed like Chris Isaak & holding sodas as musical notes drift through the air. “Man, listen to how nice all his guitar notes are,” says Ray, two which Beef replies: “These guitar notes are so good dude”
Screenshot of interactions on Bsky. The first shows that Tonberry liked my post which reads “oof damn RIP you, eventually”, a response to another person who had posted a screenshot of Tonberry following them. The second notification shows that Tonberry is now following me as well. I am so fucked lol

A screenshot of recent followers on Bsky. They all have usernames that are like [firstname][lastname][number] & abstract avatars, some with a single initial that doesn’t seem to correspond with anything.

screenshot of the tweet that launched a thousand memes. “guys only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting” - twitter user @ashcamm, 2017
A headshot of video game auteur slash idiot-savant hideo kojima against a black background in the speech bubble meme format so it looks like he is saying the quoted post. The joke is that when Kojima was first developing Death Stranding he talked a lot about ropes vs. guns & not using weapons idk. Maybe you had to be there back in like 2018. This post seemed like a pretty good one until I got this deep into the alt text.
Shot of a wooded area at night. A stout white man with short brown hair stands in the center, spot lit, holding a huge rusty sickle. The director is silhouetted at front right, back to the camera, framing the scene through a viewfinder.

Low angle shot looking up at the high ceiling of a loft apartment. Near the center of the image is an intersection where two walls meet, but neither of them are ceiling-height. An old gray rabbit cat sits on top of the lower wall above an open door.

a very cute doggo, maybe some kinda shepherd, cosplaying as Link from the Legend of Zelda
a person holding up a white credit card that just says NOT A CARD on it in black serif text
The Magic: The Gathering card “Time Spiral”, a blue Sorcery from the series Urza’s Saga. It costs four colorless & two blue mana to cast. The image is a painting by Michael Sutfin of a bunch of planetoids ina field of jagged energy bolts with a massive spiral diagram etched in stone behind them. The text on the card reads: “Remove Time Spiral from the game. Each player shuffles his or her graveyard and hand into his or her library, then draws seven cards. You untap up to six lands.” I’m pretty sure this card got banned for being too good? I remember people hating it. Also it was super rare so it was worth a lot of lucre.
bunch of questionable sketches of extruded shapes on dot grid paper
Screenshot from Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch. Three-quarter view of a room made to look like an urban street. All 11 residents of my island are hanging out on cardboard boxes & stuff.
a screenshot from the 1992 Disney animated feature film Aladdin. Genie, a barrel-chested djinn with blue skin and a lantern jaw; he has a thin goatee that ends in a pronounced curled tip, and a little wisp of hair tied in a little top tail; he wears only a pair of brass manacles. In this image, he is tugging on a red-and-blue striped tie which he has manifested for the purposes of a referential gag. He is pop-eyed, looking very Marty Robbins. The caption reads, “I CANT BELIEVE IT, I’M LOSING TO A RUG”, which in the film he delivers while doing an impression of comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who was still inexplicably relevant in the 90s. Have you guys ever heard “Rappin’ Rodney”? Holy shit you guys really need to hear “Rappin’ Rodney”. It’s a crime against humanity in song form.
Screenshot from Chrono Trigger of the game world as seen from orbit, partially obscured in shadow like classic pictures of Earth taken from the Moon, with embossed gold text underneath that reads “The End”
screenshot of a product on an e-commerce site. a small long-haired chihuahua sits against a studio backdrop, looking very cute, with one paw on the rope handle of a toy made to look like Cloud Strife’s iconic Buster Sword from the hit 1997 video game Final Fantasy VII, released by Squaresoft (now SquareEnix) for the PlayStation personal entertainment system. The product title below reads “ROPE TOY FOR DOG BUSTER SWORD GINAL FANTASY PETS”
Close photo of a pouch of Gutzy organic prebiotic gut health snack, apple/spinach/kiwi/kale edition. The italic logo blazes across a kelly green background with the aforementioned produce running vertically along the right side. It kind of looks like a Capri Sun pouch, but clearly for adults. It’s got an interesting white twist cap with two long horizontal prongs that almost look like airplane wings attached to a cylindrical center.
Interview excerpt. Nilay Patel: The environmental costs of big, stupid cars — you can tell people all day that trucks will ruin the environment, Americans will still buy trucks. That's what we're going to do. Al is only perceived as extractive. It's less beloved than ICE. That's crazy to me. Do you understand that the extractive nature of Al is causing a problem for the whole industry? Because you're sitting in the middle of one of these controversies right now. Shishir: I think you're drawing a pretty broad link for why people are afraid of Al.
Quote from Shishir Mehotra, CEO of Grammarly: What are LLMs really good at? They're really good at averaging what everybody says. So can they do something really unique like you do? No, probably not. Can they take some part of your suggestion and turn it into something useful enough that you can get 1,000 people to pay 100 bucks a month? I bet you can come up with something because the bar isn't high.
photo of me with messily styled hair in a bathroom. I look extremely tired which should also explain the extremely poor quality of this alt text
Album cover for Alvin Ford Jr. - Drums by Rhythm Paints Music Library. A minimalist grid photo collage with some light scribble overlays on a background styled to look like a vintage airmail cover.
Square graphic. A washed gray & beige background marred with pencil scribbles with a border of parallelograms in alternating purple, green & gold. In the top right corner is a set of three circles in the same colors; the one on the left says "N.O.", the one in the center has a stylized glyph of a jet plane, & the one on the right says "#1", all above the words "AIR MAIL" in wide capital letters.

Mr. Yam, a really poorly drawn anthropomorphized sweet potato styled like an old southern gentleman. He’s wearing a large white cowboy hat with a black hat band, a black dress jacket, a white shirt with an inexplicable collar & red bolo tie, & a blue vest. He’s got a cane in one hand & is raising the other in what is undoubtedly some kind of secret society high sign.
Claude from Animal Crossing. He’s’s a brown rabbit with a whorl of hair on his forehead, between his heavily lidded eyes. He is smirking knowingly. He is wearing a black shirt with multicolored polka dots.

Closeup photo of Kyle wearing an orange beanie & looking wide-eyed with surprise. The bottom half of his face is obscured by the enormous head of a weighted plush of the character Puppycat from the animated television program Bee & Puppycat. There is some pretty green framed artwork in the background.
Photo of an museum ornate hall with high arched ceilings, polished wood floors & dark wood columns supporting a wrap-around balcony. In the middle of the room, taking up most of the space, is a half-scale reproduction of a 19th century whaling bark.
Photo of Kyle at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. A white male sits in an antique wooden chair against a charcoal gray faux-wall backdrop with a fake tree at one side. He’s wearing a burnt orange beanie, glasses with translucent tan frames, a dusty lavender hoodie over a blue tee, & gray pants with the cuffs rolled. He has his legs crossed at the knee, one arm draped in his lap, the other bent at the elbow to rest an index finger on his chin as he looks up & to the right.
