My central casting boy, who left us in July.
The most generic tuxedo cat ever, Riker, reclines on my generic white guy arm.

Riker was my big friendly friend. He left us in July.
Riker, the most handsome male tuxedo cat ever, is sitting on the board of Lord of the Rings: War of the Rings, because the fate of Middle-Earth is less important than his need for pets.

She is beauty, she is grace, she has something on her face
Pixel, a tortoiseshell cat, who is beautiful and whose brain doesn't work, stares at the camera with a piece of tinfoil stuck to her nose. She is perfect and I would die for her.

Correspondingly, I've encountered a lot of landlords over the last couple of days who moved with truly frightening speed from 'the bill is coming, get used to it' to 'the bill is NOT coming, and I will NOT get used to it under any circumstances, parasites'.

"And ambling, ambling, exhaustedly ambling towards freedom!"
Former President Bill Clinton, drawn in the style of the Simpsons, standing at a podium. In the episode, he is actually an alien called Kodos (or maybe Kang, I can't tell them apart) and is delivering an incoherent speech involving the phrase 'Twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!'

A tweet by Jenny Nicholson posted n September 8, 2025 at 7:09 p.m. which 1M views which reads: 'How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor'

It is shockingly hard to find a picture of Robin where he's decidedly NOT Kermit.

A picture of Elías García Martínez’s Ecce Homo fresco next to the phrase 'just make it exist first'. Below it is the horribly modified so-called Monkey Christ painted over the fresco by Cecilia Giménez next to the phrase 'you can make it good later'.

The world is cruel; you don't have to be.

A gay, aspiring superhero is torn between two mentors as he pursues a mysterious supervillain who can control minds, while the world teeters on the brink of war.

Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder/Batwoman, a Black female superhero/detective with no powers but an insatiable sense of justice. Amadeus Cho/Totally Awesome Hulk by InHyuk Lee. Because sometimes superheroes are green. Jackson A. Dunn as Brandon Breyer/Brightburn, a young man with super power he is unprepared to deal with. He standing in the rain, staring directly at the camera, and the irises of his eyes are glowing ominously. A picture of a digital dystopia taken from this Vice article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-metaverse-has-always-been-a-dystopia/ A foggy cityscape lit with cheerful neon signs reading 'Good News Everyone', 'Happy Monday' with a smiley face, 'Love Yourself', and 'Subscribe'. Four people are milling about in the center of the image on a rubble-strewn street while a fifth figure, a woman with a face obscured by Matrix-like lines of data, walks from right to left across the image.

A picture of Grovernor the Sound Gnome from King's Quest VI. He is a gnome in a floppy, conical teal hat fall over a small face and covering both eyes, wearing a yellow shirt, teal suspenders, and red pants with a bit of rope for a belt even though he is wearing suspenders. He has two enormous ears, each about three times the size of his head, with big tufts of white hair poking out of them that I never noticed until I tracked down this large version. In his left ear he also has a comically large golden hoop earring.

We had to say goodbye to our boy Riker today. He was my biggest, friendliest friend, and I wish he weren't gone.
The earliest picture I have of Riker, a tiny tiny tuxedo kitten sitting on a carpeted floor with an extremely pink nose. He did not stay this size for long. Riker, a large tuxedo cat, wrapped up in a red blanket. I literally have no idea how he got himself in there. Riker, a large tuxedo cat whose ancestors were once worshipped by the ancient Egyptians as exemplars of beauty and grace, with his huge stupid head shoved halfway down a water glass.

Two FB messenger messages which read: 'You know how when you're teaching a board game to people and they want you to know all the rules but every time they don't LIKE the rules they argue with you and ask you to double and triple check and then try to negotiate with you as if you wrote the rules BUT YOU DIDN'T? Anyway Pierre's dead'

My parents are doomed
A picture of my folks' enormous, cowardly, perfect, loving remembered harlequin Great Dane, Finn, who was as big as a house. He is lying on a bed with his gigantic dumb nose showed right in the camera.

A screenshot from King's Quest I by Sierra On-Line. King Graham is standing in front of a castle with a moat filled with alligators and/or crocodiles. In response to an unseen command entered into the parser, there is a text box onscreen saying "I don't understand 'time'."

I cannot stress to you what an absolutely normal corner of the Internet r/Snydercut is
A post from r/SnyderCut featuring a post by user FuckGunn. It reads: 'Funny picture but it's true. It does feel like Gunn has turned Superman into his bitch and if the new Superman movie doesn't succeed he will castrate him. I'm afraid that when Superman flops Gunn will make sure Man of Steel 2 will never happen, he'll blame the failure on the character of Superman and not the fact that nobody wanted a shitty reboot by a meme director. I just have to hope the people in charge are smart enough to realize that audiences want the Snyderverse and the new movie flopped because of Gunn.' Underneath is an anime image of a woman in a bathrobe teasing a man with enormous nipples wearing only a tie. The woman's face has been replaced by Gunn's and the man's face has been replaced by David Corenswet's, who is playing Superman in the upcoming film. The woman is telling the man "If you say no to me once more, I will rip your penis off next time.'
