Pretty sure that's comedy duo Laurel and Hardy over the door on the back wall. Why? I don't dare ask.
A publicity still of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy holding their hats A zoomed, cropped view of the image in the quoted post of Epstein's weird room. It focuses on a set of French doors with two masks above. To me, the masks resemble the comedians Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel.

This man has resting "perv sweating under a bright light" face
A screenshot of a photo and headline linking to a CNN article. The headline reads "Larry Summers says he is 'deeply ashamed' after new Jeffrey Epstein emails and will pause public engageme..." [Headline cuts off in the original photo.] The included picture of Larry Summers looks bad in the way that the text of my joke would indicate.

A neon green dumpster on a city street. In the background there's a delivery box truck. There's graffiti over the top two-thirds of the dumpster. Running the entire width of the dumpster is a phrase written in black: "How to move forward after a bad break up"

I guess creating a machine that helps people masturbate until they get schizophrenia does technically meet the definition of "building something extraordinary" but I won't be missing out on my life to help with that project
A screenshot of a Yahoo Finance article in dark mode, that reads, "“This notion that somehow you can achieve greatness, you can build something extraordinary by working 38 hours a week and having work-life balance, that is mind-boggling to me,” Andrew Feldman, cofounder and CEO of $8.1 billion AI chip company Cerebras, stressed recently on the 20VC podcast. “It’s not true in any part of life.”

What the hell dude
A screenshot from Wes Scantlin's Wikipedia page. It reads, "On August 23, his neighbors called police after witnessing him rigging a fake bomb onto his vehicles in an attempt to deter thieves. The mock explosive, consisting of wires attached to the car motor and a gas tank, caused the bomb squad to be called and four surrounding buildings to be evacuated."

Doctor, holding up this chart: on a scale from NEMA 1-15P to IEC C20, please point to the one that corresponds to the amount of pain you're feeling
A chart of 18 different electrical plug and receptacles in various shapes, arranged into 3 rows of 6. Six of them, along the top row, are set by the NEMA standard, and twelve of them comprising the bottom two rows, are IEC standards. Starting from the left, row one includes: NEMA 1-15P, NEMA 1-15R, NEMA 5-15R, NEMA 5-20P, NEMA 5-20R. Row two includes: IEC C5, IEC C6, Non-polar IEC C7, Polar IEC C7, Non-polar IEC C8, Polar IEC C8. In row three, it includes: IEC C13, IEC C14, IEC C15, IEC C16, IEC C19, IEC C20. The NEMA standards are wall outlet receptacles and the plugs that fit them, and the IEC standards are the receptacles that are in devices, like computers, televisions, consoles, and various power bricks, and the plugs that fit them. Most power cables will have a NEMA end for joining to the wall and an IEC end for joining to the device.

Kalanick and Grok egging each other on to unlock the secrets of the universe
Screenshot of 2 paragraphs from a Gizmodo article: "Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews. “I’ll go down this thread with [Chat]GPT or Grok and I’ll start to get to the edge of what’s known in quantum physics and then I’m doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it’s vibe physics,” Kalanick explained. “And we’re approaching what’s known. And I’m trying to poke and see if there’s breakthroughs to be had. And I’ve gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that.”" Screenshot of a tweet by username @aerithfazbear displayname phia fair. It reads: "its always 2 dumb bitches telling each other "exactlyyy""

I'm not a stocks person, but I was IT at a very non-techy mid-sized business in 2021. My gut reaction to this was, "SaaS in the middle of the pandemic might not be the best example of 'not a bubble.'" Anyway, I finally had a free hour.

www.meritechcapital.com/blog/2021-re...
a screenshot from the link in the post. It includes a list of bullet points aggregating stats about SaaS companies that went public in 2021. It reads: In summary – these are the median metrics for the 2021 select cohort of SaaS IPOs. Founded 11 years ago. Raised almost $400M in venture funding and burned almost $200M. $225M of implied ARR (annualized revenue run-rate) and ~$185M of LTM revenue. Growing implied ARR by almost 55% year-over-year. Added $25M of net new implied ARR in the last quarter. 74% LTM non-GAAP gross margin. 46% LTM non-GAAP Sales and Marketing spend as a % of revenue. 22% LTM non-GAAP Research and Development spend as a % of revenue. 17% LTM non-GAAP General and Administrative spend as a % of revenue. Still losing money with a (9)% LTM non-GAAP operating margin. 119% net dollar retention rate. LTM magic number of 0.8 and implied payback period of 20 months (definitions later in post). $40B TAM (total addressable market). Implied ACV or revenue per customer of $52K. Almost 950 FTEs (full-time employees) with $220K of implied ARR per FTE and $212K of LTM revenue per FTE. Raised $450M in an IPO and are worth almost $6B in equity value at pricing. Sold 7% of the company to public investors. Closed with almost $500M of cash on the balance sheet. As a CEO, you’re 44 years old and priced the IPO with an almost $400M stake and your stock is up 13% from IPO price as of 31-Dec-2021. A screenshot of a spreadsheet I made of the companies listed in the link. It shows that the 20 companies mentioned in the link which are still publicly traded are currently at an average of 63% below their 2021 high stock price, and only one is above its 2021 price. The seven companies that were acquired were on average acquired at a share price about half of their 2021 high.

What the fuck are you talking about, you absolutely brain-rotted freak
Screenshot of an article about the 40th anniversary of the film Back to the Future. It reads: "Speaking with The Guardian to commemorate the film's historic 40th anniversary, screenwriter Bob Gale specifically cited the unusual friendship between Michael J. Fox's teenage Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd's elderly Dr. Emmett Brown as a particular area of concern for most studio executive todays. "Oh man, the film wouldn’t even be made today," said the 74-year-old Gale, who co-wrote each entry in the trilogy alongside director Robert Zemeckis. "We’d go into the studio and they’d say, what’s the deal with this relationship between Marty and Doc? They’d start interpreting pedophilia or something. There would be a lot of things they have problems with.”"

A screenshot of an Onion article dated August 21, 1996. Headline: Somebody Should Do Something About All The Problems." Body: "Why isn’t anyone doing anything about all the problems? We’re living in a time with super computers and underwater sea stations and million-dollar laboratories. And still, everyday when I watch the TV news shows I see all sorts of problems! What are the scientists doing with all that technology? Just sitting on their patoots? Just yesterday there was another plane crash. Isn’t that what we have radar for? Why isn’t someone taking care of that? "

Screenshot of my Bluesky compose window. A red -112 indicates that the post is significantly longer than the limit. The text reads: [I walk down a neon-lit street, pushing against the flow of the other pedestrians. "6 Underground" by the Sneaker Pimps is playing. I enter a nondescript storefront, pass the counter with a nearly imperceptible nod at the clerk and enter the back room. I throw a switch and an ancient computer clicks to life, humming with electricity. I remove my hood, open Outlook and type, "I hope this email finds you well,"

A meme about needing "one more metro rack to get organized." It consists of four distinct memes crammed into one image. In the top left there's a line drawing of a head with red scribbles filling in the interior and a word bubble says, "I just need one more metro rack to get organized." Moving clockwise, there's a stick figure in bed and a thought bubble reading, "I just need one more metro rack." Proceeding clockwise again to the bottom right corner, there's a stick figure entering a shadowy room through a door. The entering stick figure says "Are u okay bro?" and the figure in the shadows says, "Yes I just need one more metro rack." And finally, going clockwise up and to the left, is a little drawing of four arrows in a cycle. Every step between the arrows reads, one more metro rack."
