You expecting a Ukrainian drone strike, bruh?
A Cybertruck in an outdoor parking lot, looking extra dumpstery with noticeably oxidized doors and something like a cope cage attached to the top.

I continue to be powerless in the face of Tim’s merch.
A large brown mug with a bemused bear’s face, and he’s holding a Tim’s takeout cup.

Breakfast of Champions.
A while speckled coffee mug with an M on it, and a snack-sized Coffee Crisp.

Even fictional movie killers have embraced the remote working lifestyle.
A plump Michael Myers in a fuzzy red housecoat and blue Croc, holding a black cat coffee mug, standing beside a possessed doll and a cauldron with a red spotlight, in front of a 12-foot Inferno pumpkin monster named Burnt Reynolds, as Halloween kicks off.

Puppet Angel from the episode Smile Time. He is frowning deeply and is a bit dishevelled, and has scrapes diagonally down his face from his forehead through his left eyebrow, onto his cheek.

Post an AI from the past that was better than the ones we have today.

These come from the same place.

I will not be taking questions.
Tom Holland mid-dance in his Rihanna homage Umbrella lip sync performance, in a black bob wig, black halter corset, black patent leather short shorts trimmed in lack, lace wrist cups, black stockings with large weave black fishnets over top, black boots, and brandishing a furled black umbrella. Alexander Skarsgaard at the Pillion premiere in a white halter top with black leather tie, lace-up black leather pants, and black patent leather boots, standing in front of a shiny clack and silver motorcycle and giving the camera a bit of a smoulder.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

(What a twist!)
Very Rococo portrait of Marie Antoinette with elaborate pearl-entwined powdered hairstyle sporting feathers and other baubles, lace-trimmed gown and deep blue velvet cloak with gold fleurs de lys.

I was not prepared for this gin to be this good. Made in Ontario! Could easily drink on the rocks or neat.
A delicious bottle of Valley of Mother of God gin sitting on a barbecue.

Good light. Good tree. 🍁
A classic Canadian mid-October photo of a residential urban side street. The top of a red brick and blue siding house is visible on far right, as are flower bed with varying amounts of green and brown vegetation. But catching the attention is a lovely 200+-year-old maple tree as golden hour approaching, glowing bright orange against and blue sky with light, fluffy clouds.

Statler had that same look. Then I told her we had to go home and get back to work, and it changed to this. 🤷‍♀️
A brown brindle and white dog is shown from the shoulders up. She is standing on grass scattered with crunchy orange and brown oak leaves. She is wearing a red/black Buffalo plaid harness. Her face is a bit grizzled, her eyebrows are drawn, her lower lids are drooping, and she looks like you just broke up with her.

My weakness for Tim's merch continues. In my defence, though, I will be using this with my Halloween costume. (And I have never gotten over missing out on the adorable ghost last year.)
A 20oz mug in the shape of a black cat with green eyes who's smizing. It has tiny pointy ears that probably won't stab me in the eyes. Appears to be holding a Tim Hortons beverage with a straw between its front paws. That apparently changes colour when there's a hot beverage in the mug.

Don't you hate it when the algorithm scores a direct hit?
Vintage look dark grey t-shirt with graphics of Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets. The text says: "Law offices of Statler and Waldorf, Est. 1975, We're not half bad, we're all bad"

I think I’ve found this year’s costume. My fuzzy robe is red, and I’ll pair it with a monster mug and bunny slippers or similar.

Stick with the Michael Myers mask, or someone else? My brother has just about everyone. Pennywise might go well with a red robe… 🎈
An adult person in an orange fuzzy robe, standing outside a house and wearing a Michael Myers mask while holding a black coffee mug. There are Halloween decorations on the porch, including black and white vertical trick and treat signs.

So the greatest champion against authoritarianism is going to be corporate monopoly-driven capitalism, then?
Youthful, beefy Russell Crowe in the first gladiator movie, in linen and leather and metal-studded armour and wrist guards. He holds a gladius and is gesturing while hollering. (Probably the "Are you not entertained?" moment.

Screenshot of a post by the Irish Literary Times saying they don't know who to credit for this one, and there's a photo of a white wall, on which someone has written in black marker, "The spelling of Irish names is my Pet Piamh."

You’re going to have to be more specific.

#InternationalDogDay. Mine obediently agreeing to leave my parents’ place to walk home.
A large brown brindle and white bully mix dog is mid-roll in the grass and leaves. The upturned belly is white, the harness is red and black Buffalo plaid, the legs are flailing, and the grin is ungovernable.

Ooh, An Impossible Imposter is on sale for $1.99 on both Apple and the 'Zon.

That's Veronica Speedwell #7 if you're keeping track, and if you're not, you really should get started and rip through 1-6 so you can embrace this one. 🦋
Charmingly purple cover with white swirling details and gold accents, of Deanna Raybourn's An Impossible Imposter, #7 in the Veronica Speedwell series. There is the rose gold-y silhouette of a woman in a gown, shown from the back, and she's holding a butterly net. Above her there's a balcony, lit in gold from within, and a shadowy man's silhouette. He appears to be in a frock coat and top hat.
