Watched the movie "The Crowded Day" (1954) for the 1st time & was completely oblivious to the fact that staff hostels for unmarried female workers were an actual thing. The film itself veers wildly from light comedy to a nightmarish noir chase scene, but it was highly educational, albeit indirectly.
A scene from 1954's "The Crowded Day" (AKA: Tomorrow is Sunday) showing a black and white interior shot of a department store sales assistant dressed in black advising a mother and daughter in sensible winter clothing about wedding dresses.

Star Trek The Original Series, 100-piece Jigsaw by King, 1993.
This lovely 100-piece jigsaw depicts the original U.S.S. Enterprise and a shuttlecraft leaving a deep space station on a voyage of discovery. Maybe...

Elton John's Christmas collaboration with John Lewis was the UK's No. 1 trending topic on Twitter, on this day in 2018. It didn't last long.
A two panel image. The top panel shows an image from that year's John Lewis Christmas advert - Elton John, wearing a sparkly Stars and Stripes jacket, stands on a piano with his back to us as he looks out across a rammed Dodger Stadium. On the left hand side of the image is a list of Twitter's United Kingdom trends: #EltonJohnLewis, Rocketman, Elton John, #TheBoyAndThePiano, Your Song, #StepIntoXmas, Reg Dwight, #JohnLewisChristmas and Elton IS Christmas. The time stamp at the top of the image reads 8.59AM. The bottom panel shows the exact same image of Elton John, but Dodger Stadium is now all but deserted. On the left hand side of the image is a list of Twitter's United Kingdom trends: #BrexitChaos, Dominic Raab, Brexit, #BrexitAgreement, Esther McVey, #BrexitShambles, Brexit Secretary, Commons and They Don't Even Sell Pianos (Elton Gone). The time stamp at the top of the image reads 9.02AM.

Been playing around with an idea for a thing. Is this a thing?
Flat costume illustrations of various Doctors from Doctor Who. Underneath it says ELEVEN, FIVE and SIX – which is obviously which Doctor they are.

So, happy 43rd birthday, Murun Buchstansangur, one of the oddest cartoon characters ever to grace a screen, who made his debut on Channel 4 #OTD in 1982
Murun Buchstansangur sits on the ground in his messy home, looking confused, facing his neighbour, on whom he has a crush. We see her back view, and she looks recognisably human, if small with a big head, and is wearing a red dress and has blonde hair. Murun is a small blue/grey creature – essentially a head with arms sticking out of the side, and feet coming directly out of his neck. He has a mop of brown hair

What a pisser!
The Distracted Girlfriend meme, but the girlfriend is now Elaine Dickinson from "Airplane!" (1980), the boyfriend is Ted Striker, (pulling his "what a pisser!" face as he looks right at us), and the object of Elaine's attention is Otto Pilot, the handsy inflatable autopilot. If Elaine's eyes look weird, it's because they are. I had to reset them because they were looking the wrong way and now they look weird due to the fact I was too lazy to make them appear like actual eyes and not something I'd just drawn on her eyelids.

David Attenborough’s Cryptozoology show “Fabulous Animals” started on this day in 1975, so that’s one good thing that definitely happened back then. Delighted to note the whole series seems to be up on YouTube. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

"They all agree wives aren't invited."

Deliciously unglamorous portrait of life at a London advertising agency in 1970, centred around the annual Christmas party. Includes some spectacular hairdos and some rather outmoded attitudes to, well, everything.

An image of IKEA man with some paperwork in his hands and a question mark thought bubble next to his head. There is an unopened box at his feet. The word "SCHRÖDINGER" is in bold at the top of the image.

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

From this day in 2016.
The album cover for "Arrival" by ABBA which shows the band sitting in the front of a clear-domed, stationary helicopter in a field. They are all dressed in the orange hazmat/environmental suits from the movie "Arrival" (2016). In the background, hovering above the field, is one of the immense, monolithic alien spacecraft. Here is where the story ends, (but also starts), this is goodbye, (but also hello).

Hugh Gray took the 1st known photograph of the Loch Ness Monster on this day in 1933. It clearly shows the Scottish cryptid that modern science has repeatedly failed to provide any concrete evidence for, and is definitely not a blurry photo of a dog swimming towards us with a stick in its mouth.

From this day in 2019.
A photo of Alexander de Pfeffel and his 13th bride Carrie, sitting at a table in an overgrown country pub beer garden while gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. I think the original photo was posted to fend off claims that Carrie and Johnson were going through a rough patch, but they now have a selection of friends joining them at their not-at-all staged love-in. Dominic Cummings is giving the pair the side eye as he strolls behind them with a phone in his hand. Vladimir Putin sits at the opposite end of the table with a warming cup of polonium in his hand as a half-smile plays across his lips. Walking towards us in the foreground is a post-plane crash Nigel Farage with the supportive arm of Donald Trump around his shoulder. Between the two men is the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein, whose shade is doomed to spend all of eternity haunting his beloved pal Donald, ensuring he never knows a day of peace for the remainder of his wretched life.
