me trying to rub any media that will distract me from the state of the world through my scalp straight to my brain

A drawing of a bald man frantically rubbing liquid from a bowl on his pate. There are Icelandic and English captions, with the English reading: “BUTTERWORT - The extract of butterwort was used to strengthen the scalp to prevent baldness.”

if the pyramids of egypt were also wifi hotspots

Two signs posted on the supporting pillar of a lifeguard tower, with the beach and sea in the background. The top sign indicates that the tower is a Wifi hotspot. The one below is yellow and depicts a foot underwater moving from shallow sand to a deep pit. It warns in English and Chinese: “Uneven seabed, beware of sudden drop-off.”

the zenith of architectural design

A lifeguard tower on a sunny HK beach. The tower stands on a small cylindrical base, upon which is a round covered platform in which the lifeguard sits. A wide window in the platform area faces the water, as though the building itself is vigilant. It’s covered in small white tiles, and a spiral staircase winds around it.

earnestly believe that the 2036 working group trying to bring the olympics to hk should be treated as an organisation colluding with hostile foreign forces

The activists began at the Kowloon Mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui and marched along Nathan Road, one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, before arriving at the harbourfront, shouting slogans such as “Free, free Palestine” and “From Ukraine to Palestine, occupation is a crime.”

remember that time john ashbery roasted all our asses in 'Paradoxes and Oxymorons'?

It has been played once more. I think you exist only
To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there
Or have adopted a different attitude. And the joke
Has set me softly down beside you. The joke is you.

[Both instances of 'joke' have clearly been added using MS Paint.]
