I was worried Disney would put Rocky Horror in the vaults, but it has continued to allow midnight showings!
Close-up of Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, wearing dramatic makeup with dark eyeliner, eye shadow, and red lipstick, smiling slightly. Overlaid white text in all caps reads: “DISNEY NOW OWNS THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. CONGRATS TO TIM CURRY ON BECOMING A DISNEY QUEEN.” The image humorously celebrates Disney’s ownership of the cult classic film.

You could celebrate with a Redbridge - a sorghum beer! But regular Budweiser is a rice beer and is also gluten free, it just isn't on the label. 🍻
Six-pack of Redbridge Gluten-Free Sorghum Beer in brown glass bottles with red and gold labels, packaged in a cardboard carrier featuring a rustic illustration of a red covered bridge, trees, and a wooden fence. Text highlights that the beer is made without wheat or barley and brewed by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, Missouri.

Big burger spooning Mini burger
Two cartoon-style hamburgers sit on a white plate, hugging each other with peaceful, blushing expressions. The larger burger has a sesame seed bun, beef patty, cheddar cheese, and tomato; the smaller has a plain bun, beef patty, tomato, and lettuce. Their simple curved arms and legs add charm to this affectionate, whimsical scene.

What really happened in room 237?
Two people sit on the floor of a dimly lit room. One wears a bear costume with a surprised expression; the other, dressed formally, looks toward the camera. Their faces are digitally altered, to suggest humorous and satirical intent. A lamp on a wooden dresser casts warm light in the background.

This poster is so old, they don't even let kids play on these metal death traps over the hot top pavement like we did.
Poster with a yellow background showing dark blue silhouettes of children climbing and playing on a dome-shaped jungle gym, set against tree silhouettes. On the right side, stylized text reads: “It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber,” highlighting a political message about education and military funding priorities.

I brought my Antifa flag and some yellow ribbons
Protester holding a handmade sign that reads: 'TRUMP IS THE WORST PRESIDENT SINCE... WELL........ TRUMP' with the word 'TRUMP' highlighted in yellow. The sign uses bold, capital letters and humorous repetition to express a strong political opinion. "Political cartoon showing Donald Trump in a red 'MAGA' shirt with a crown falling off his head, crying and clutching a smartphone. He is chained to the Statue of Liberty, who holds the chain and a torch, saying 'Someone please separate me from my child.' The background features a blue sky and city buildings. A person with long gray hair and tattooed arms holds a white protest sign outdoors on green grass. The sign features bold, handwritten text in bright pink and blue ink that reads: “TRUMP DRINKS HIS OWN BATH WATER.” To the right of the word “OWN,” smaller blue text says “DJT + JEE = BFF.” The image conveys a satirical and provocative political message. Protest sign on a wooden floor made from white poster board. Bold black and red text reads: “HEY DONALD… It’s a combover – NOT – a Crown.” Two yellow crown illustrations are crossed out with red Xs. The sign uses humor and visual emphasis to critique Donald Trump’s hairstyle and reject its symbolic authority.

It's the spooky season!
A fluffy gray kitten peers out from inside a black circular Halloween-themed container with star-shaped cutouts and a red accent. The kitten’s wide eyes and curious expression contrast with the eerie text above: “They All Float Down Here,” referencing Stephen King’s It. The juxtaposition of innocence and horror creates a playful, surreal tension.

a declaration of emotional flight or surreal detachment - a sonic lift-off
A pair of red, textured human lips gently kiss a cratered crescent moon, from which violet smoke billows upward in swirling tendrils. The smoke morphs into ethereal shapes—sigils, feathers, and scrolls—against a parchment-toned background, blending emotional weariness with surreal transcendence.

"A metallic wall hook mounted on a beige wall, shaped like a two-armed creature with screw 'eyes.' The hook resembles a belligerent octopus or a face with raised fists. Above it, the caption reads 'DRUNK OCTOPUS,' and below, 'WANTS TO FIGHT,' humorously personifying the hook as a combative sea creature.
