A scared woman with a bear trap attached to her head. It's from the first Saw movie. If she doesn't unlock the trap, it will open and rip her jaw open.

Heathcliff one panel comic, 2/27/2023. An orange cat drives down a street in a ham with wheels like a little car. A man and a woman stand in the background. The man says, "That's the new electric ham."

based on a true story. please don't comment on a pregnant person's body! i'm sweaty and easily annoyed.

happy #makeaterriblecomicday2025 !
Sticky note doodles stuck on dot notebook pages are organized into a 5-panel comic. 1: A skinny figure asks a round pregnant person, "When are you due?" The pregnant person replies, "About 3 weeks!" Both figures smile politely. 2: Close up on the shocked face of the skinny person. They say, "But you're so TINY!" 3: Close up of the annoyed, squinty-eyed face of the pregnant person. The curve of their belly is visible. 4: The pregnant person now has sharp teeth and is angrily eating the other person, whose legs protrude from their gaping mouth. 5: The round, pregnant person looks content and rests their doodle hands on their tummy. They say, "This kid has a BIG appetite!"

we saw you from across the Green Dragon and liked your vibe
reposting Ralph Bakshi's image with alt text. Animation frame from Ralph Bakshi's film The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf, an old wizard with a bushy white beard wearing grey robes and a blue hat, sits beside Frodo, a small fellow with brown hair and simple clothes. Gandalf leans forward and holds a wooden staff with a smirking expression. Frodo is squinting and with his mouth agape while lazily holding a bitten apple (he's probably talking in the scene, but out of context he looks a little stoned).

he's a hateful man with badly tailored pants
smug asshole JD Vance sits on a yellow chair in the White House. his suit pants are way too skinny for his legs so they are riding halfway up his calf. he looks like he dried his pants on a super heat setting like some dipshit undergrad frat boy at his first interview.

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.
Black and white screenshot from The Lighthouses. A nude Willem Dafoe strides forward and grabs the shoulder of a kneeling Robert Pattinson. They are in torrential rain. Light beams from the nude man's eyes into the young man's face. As homoerotic as you can imagine.

The Chronicle of Higher Education always has their finger on the pulse
marketing email from The Chronicle of Higher Education. Chronfest Save the Date: Featuring a Conversation on Viewpoint Diversity in Higher Ed With Steven Pinker In an era of increasingly polarized discourse, more university leaders, politicians, and academics are calling for greater viewpoint diversity in higher education — not only to foster more inclusive dialogue, but to better prepare students for a world of often conflicting ideas. But what does viewpoint diversity actually mean? Is there a shared understanding of how it should be defined and measured? And how should institutions realistically be held accountable for promoting it? Register Now! Captain America as old man says, "No, I don't think I will."

dril tweet: turning a big dal that says "Racism" on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right

Lilith from Neon Genesis Evangelion. A giant, naked, pure white humanoid with a dark mask is crucified on a red cross. Its legs are sprouting round little shapes that may have proto eyes and limbs. Two shadows of people stand before the creature, barely reaching its knees.

I appreciate how Ralph Bakshi et al interpreted this from a similar line in the books. I come back to this image a lot these days.
Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings animated film. Aragorn, a dark haired and russet skinned man, kneels before a reddish haired hobbit. Aragorn says, "Then we must do without hope. There is always vengeance."

Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter in Nosferatu (2024). A woman throws her head back, screaming, veins popping from her neck. She rips open her dress bodice with her bare hands.

I would be the librarian who receives the error report that the Jedi archives are missing records of a mysterious planet. I'd have to contact the database vendor and deal with the Jedi giving me the runaround about it.
Obi Wan in Star Wars Attack of the Clones. A Jesus-look-alike guy is in a space library with blue lights behind him. He says, "Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete."

A calico cat stares nose-first into the camera. She has a pink nose, white fuzzy lips, and hints of tan and grey above here wide eyes. One ear is visible.
