scary scary Minneapolis lake park
a lakeside scene: the top third of the photo is puffy gray-white clouds against a blue sky, the middle third is green trees of varying shapes on an island in the lake, and the bottom third is the lake itself, reflecting the trees and clouds and with some dead tree branches sticking out of the water. there are turtles on one of the branches

The average American has three friends
A TV screen, split three ways: in the top left corner is Agent Dana Scully with her hair up, hand to cheek and looking off to the side, holding a phone, in a bubble bath. In the top right corner is Agent Fox Mulder, holding a phone and smiling, also in a bubble bath. In the bottom is Assistant Director Skinner, scowling slightly, holding a phone, also in a bubble bath.

The ghost of David Bowie set up a fan page at Bluesky, how nice of his spectral self!
A screencap of the header of a Bluesky profile named davidbowiefanpage.bsky.social. It has a rising sun emoji to indicate that it is newly created. It has 3 followers and is followed by 93 people. The banner is part of an image of young David Bowie holding a guitar and you can see the phrase 'N' ROLL STAR! in the upper left corner. The profile picture is a headshot of young David Bowie: he has short reddish-brown hair and is staring down with his head tilted to the right. The text of the profile says "I created this private page just to reach out to all my fans and well wishers," followed by a string of treble clef emoji, smiling face with hearts emoji, and a prayer hands emoji. There are no posts or replies from the account.

Went with the one my husband found at an antique shop years ago
An older-looking tarnished silver menorah with scrollwork on the base and arching below the candles. It holds 9 white candles that are burning. It rests in a square baking dish lined with foil, sitting on a dark brown wooden table.

the car was long gone by the time I started driving (sad) 😍
a neighborhood street in the Detroit area around 1976, with three people standing outside a house. there's a 1970s white Corvette Stingray facing front-end toward the camera, with a Michigan bicentennial license plate on it

Quote tweet with the last baseball related photo on your phone (no cheat).
photo of the Jumbotron at Target Field showing the photo of Cincinnati Reds player Noelvi Marte with the following text: "His name is an anagram for VIOLENT MARE, which is so random that we apologize we made you read this." The score is 1-1 in the top of the 6th inning

you sure were pretty tonight, Minneapolis
Sunset over a lake. The trees are in shadows in the distance, there are ripples on the water, and some wispy clouds in the sky, which shades from orange to gold to lighter to darker blue

me with the unamused spouse 🎃
selfie of two people in the stands at a football game: a man on the left in a gray knit hat and a navy rain shell layered over a gray jacket, staring at the camera and sticking his tongue out, and a smiling woman on the right with green tortoiseshell glasses, a blue baseball hat with a maize block M logo, a maize and blue scarf, and a navy blue hoodie

You’re not allowed to go on with your day without showing off your lock screen
A black and white photo from the 1970s, showing two girls ages 5 and 3. The 5-year-old on the left is wearing a light colored turtleneck and dark pants, and is scowling at the camera. The 3-year-old on the right is wearing a white t-shirt and plaid pants and is wailing, looking off to her right just a little bit.

see a tort, leave a tort
A tortie named Chelsea sitting on a couch: her fur has patches of black, tan, and cream with cinnamon stripes, she has a pink freckled nose, and she has green eyes. She is frowning because she is not getting the Cheerios she wants. Alias is on the TV in the background.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Well, this could go lots of ways, I guess...
