never gets old
Twitter post from Tom Morello (@tmorello), guitarist and songwriter for the bands Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave (among others), dated October 20, 2019. The attached image shows a hand holding a challenge coin for the Rebel Legion (from Star Wars). The text of the tweet reads: Yesterday I went into the Cantina at the new Star Wars land at Disneyland and the bartender leans over, sneakily gives me this, and whispers, "It's not often we get a Resistance General in here. Thank you for your service." I almost cried.

Amended screenshot of a famous tweet from @NotABigJerk (lauren): "i'm not falling for that hot take. that's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. i refuse to participate in that kind of perversion" ... in which the words "yelled at" have been replaced by the words "honked at, squirted by a flower, covered in glitter, and crammed into a tiny car"

For another example of what happens when you try to please everyone, here is a screenshot I took a decade ago from one of the community forks of Second Life's desktop client.
Screenshot of the Settings/Preferences window from a community-forked version of the Second Life client. It shows a panel with 23 different options in it; the panel is one of six tabs in a (horizontal) tabset, which is in turn one of fifteen tabs within another (vertical) tabset. This tab is labeled "Chat". There is another tab labeled "Advanced". Under this, the text is written: "Instead of arguing over defaults, why don't we make it an option?" This is why.

a second republican has been rizzed up by livvy
the dude from the "Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or has he just been rizzed up by Livvy" TikTok and he's leaning in to whisper in George W. Bush's ear. I'm sorry, I realise this image description doesn't help anything make sense but this is kind of the joke I was trying to make

found one of my old business cards
A printed business card from Lotus Corp, for “Mitchell D. Kapor, Founder”. This has all been scribbled over in red pen; in the remaining space has been scrawled, “YOZ GRAHAME, yoz@yoz.com”

This is Koko right after my partner found her (aged… about 5 weeks, we think) being peered over by Scarlett (aged 4) who isn’t sure what this fluffy thing is but knows she needs to look after it
A small orange kitten sleeps in the corner of a blue couch. There is a small brown & white dog (chihuahua mix) sniffing at the kitten. The dog is in someone’s lap, and this person is petting the kitten.

A man with a beard, his face obscured by the hood of the onesie he is wearing, that makes him look somewhat like a seal. There are Guinness flags and a view of the street in the background.

A STRANGE AND MYSTERIOUS BEAST WITH AN UNCANNY POLITICAL SIXTH SENSE FOR THINGS THAT YOU AND I CAN ONLY GUESS AT ! Panel 2: The basselope continues sitting there. Panel 3: The basselope’s ears suddenly shoot outwards and upwards with a “ZING!” Panel 4: The basselope says to Milo Bloom, passing by: “Gary Hart has ended his celibacy.” Bloom responds: “Beg pardon?”

getting such a ridiculous rush of nostalgia right now
Screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article: "Einar Örn Benediktsson (born 29 October 1962), often billed as Einar Örn, is an Icelandic singer and trumpet player. He was a member of the Sugarcubes. He served as a member of the Reykjavík City Council between 2010 and 2014." Screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article: "He also worked in concert promotion (two Björk shows, The Prodigy, Fugees and Massive Attack) and co-founded Reykjavík's first cybercafe The Siberia Cafe: 'We were too early. Those who knew what it was all about preferred to do their Internet hacking at home." Einar worked for the Reykjavík Arts Festival before moving back to London in late 1997 to set up OLI's Web sites: "I saw this gap, which I could fill. It's always good to get a new perspective." Screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article: "In 2005 Ghostigital signed with the California-based label Ipecac Recordings co-founded by Faith No More singer Mike Patton. Their first Ipecac release, In Cod We Trust, was released in March 2006.[8] On this record Einar's son Kaktus (currently frontman of Fufanu) plays trumpet. It also features contributions from Mark E Smith, Sensational, Ásgerður Júníusdóttir and KatieJane Garside."

I love random game tips almost as much as game bugs
Screenshot of a Reddit comment in a thread, by user SpikeDawgill. Text reads: All I know for the car radio is to keep an eye on the last choice. Eventually it will show set to the correct time. Click that to get the yeast to build the slot receiver. The doorknob is found in aisle 37, but make sure to stop and drink at the oasis first. To get to Bo Jackson the quickest way is to dog paddle in the clothing pool. From there you can go the home world and get to one of the good endings to the game. You can also get to that ending if you fight the rock band with the Deku Stick and make Jon apologize for calling you a nimrod.

Joey Valence & Brae released a joyously silly & danceable album last year and this, honest to god, was the cover
The cover of Joey Valence & Brae’s 2024 album “No Hands”. They like a pair of nu-metal skater punks from, I dunno, the mid 90s? It is quite deliberately silly
