never forget
A tweet from The Oregonian (@oregonian). "Tonya Harding and the exploding whale were both born on this day in Oregon and both left behind a trail of debris that would captivate people for decades to come bit.ly/2DAr4C3" The photo is a diptyque; on the left, Tonya Harding, posing for a GMA like shot in her pink rhinestones skating costume; on the right, an photo of a distant explosion on a beach, some sand is red.

Gotta be my favorite flugelhorn artist. By a mile
A wooden vinyl record player stand. On top sits a turntable from audio-technical. The shelf below is quite short and contains several CD jewel cases, a CD player, and a CD folio. If you zoom in you can see the CDs are: - O from Cirque du Soleil - Romanza by Andrea Bocceli - A Winter's Solstice VI by the Windham Hill Players - Summer by George Winston - Shepherd Moons by Enya - The Bodyguard Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Classics by Request Vol 3 brought to you by Victoria's Secret - Anam by Clannad - Quidam from Cirque du Soleil - The Visit by Loreena McKennitt - Seal's self-titled album. - Röyskopp's Night Out Live EP - The Makin' Magic Album by DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ - Heroes Symphony/The Light by Philip Glass - The Outernational Sound by The Thievery Corporation. The shelf below is tall enough to hold vinyl records vertically and is packed full of albums whose spines are mostly unreadable at this distance. A single vinyl cover is set facing out and is the main focal point of the photo: Chuck Mangione's Children of Sanchez. It is a white cover with a photo of Mangione playing his flugelhorn in an arid landscape. He is dressed in black. Both his hair and red scarf are suspended by the breeze.

Christine is good but I'm really enjoying this performance on this particular rewatch
Robert Prosky in Christine. He looks angry. He is wearing a white collared shirt, top button unbuttoned, and a dark tie. He is wearing a dark olive vest.

A crudely drawn message reads: "HOW ARE PPL MAKING THESE". The background is blue and the text is overlapping layers of deep red and gold, mimicking the Mamdani Serif font used in Mamdani's mayoral campaign.

Wally is 36 in My Dinner With André
The first page of My Dinner With André: Wally is trudging through the streets of New York. WALLY (voice-over): The life of a playwright is tough. It's not easy, as some people seem to think. You work hard writing plays, and nobody puts them on. You take up other lines of work to try to make a living-acting, in my case- and people don't hire you. So you spend your days crossing the city back and forth doing the errands of your trade. Today wasn't any easier than any other day. I'd had to be up by ten to make some important phone calls, then I'd gone to the stationery store to buy envelopes, and then to the xerox shop. There were dozens of things to do. By five o'clock I'd finally made it to the post office and mailed off several copies of my plays, meanwhile checking constantly with my answering service to see if my agent had called with any acting work. In the morning, the mailbox had been stuffed with bills. What was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to pay them? After all, I was doing my best. (He keeps trudging.) I've lived in this city all my life. I grew up on the Upper East Side, and when I was ten years old I was rich, I was an aristocrat, riding around in taxis, surrounded by comfort, and all I thought about was art and music. Now I'm thirty-six, and all I think about is money. (He goes into the subway.) It was now seven o'clock, and I would have liked nothing better than to go home and have my girlfriend, Debby, cook me a nice delicious dinner. But for the last several years our financial circumstances have forced her to work three nights a week as a waitress-after all, playwriting doesn't pay for the salt, much less the bread on the table, and we had to have some money coming in-so I was on my own. But the worst thing of all was that I had been trapped by an odd Wallace Shawn and André Gregory in My Dinner With André

Chick Deany
Dean Pelton from Community wearing a red, possibly Moulin Rouge-inspired dress and a red wig. Actors on either side are looking back at him with their faces turned away from the camera. They're in the library or wherever it is they are during most of Community.

they're erasing my culture
A slightly blurry still of Betty Crocker's String Thing fruit snack. It is a gummy confection on a cardboard sleeve. The red candy is in string form and is applied to the sleeve in the shape of a bicycle. It is meant to be peeled off as a string and eaten. A grainy still from a commercial for Fruit Gushers. In the foreground, a yellow box for the watermelon flavor, and four more boxes are assembled behind it in various indistinguishable flavors. A Squeezit variety pack. It is a fruit drink that comes in plastic bottles with distinct twist-tops. This variety pack has two flavors: Chucklin' Cherry, which is a deep red; Berry B. wild, which is light blue. Four Baby Bottle Pop candy bottle arranged in a professional looking way on a blue background. They are arranged loosely in a 2x2 formation, the right-front most bottle tipped on its side. From left to right, front to back: a pink bottle that is strawberry; the tipped bottle appears to be cherry and is bright red; a green bottle of watermelon flavor; a dark blue bottle whose flavor is obscured by the cherry bottle in front of it.

there is a sow option too
An image of The Condiment Sow, a truly terrifying effigy of a pig with condiment dispensers emerging from the underside of the pig. It looks surprised and scared as it stands on grass, in front of a white picket fence and a blue sky with clouds.

they had a really good thing going
A very wide shot of the set and cast of the 90s television show Dinosaurs. The interior scene sits in the shell of a volcano and the family sits at the dining room table happily eating dinner. Along the back wall are various doors and the kitchen of the house. The photo quality is not great. The refrigerator seems to be covered fully in papers, but whether they're drawings, bills, letters cannot be determined. The floor is a square, brick like pattern. Generally earth tones with greige appliances and accents.
