It's the Cadillac of minivans!
John Travolta and Danny DeVito standing in front of a black Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan. It is a still shot from the movie Get Shorty. John Travolta is offering the keys to Danny DeVito.

Screenshot of Alex from the Technology Connections YouTube channel. There is a box of dishwasher powder on his desk. He is holding a dishwasher pod. It is formatted as a meme. The text just says "DISHWASHERS".

It's the "finger up, finger down" meme, or the "speechless stick guy", or whatever you want to call it. Stick figure that wants to say something but stops because realization sets in or something

Screenshot of the top of the Wikipedia page for Time Cube. The top of the page shows the title - "Time Cube", below that some links, and then the disambiguation block - "Not to be confused with Times Square".

Two images, arranged vertically. The top one is a screenshot from the game Zenless Zone Zero. Present are Hoshimi Miyabi (a fox girl who is a special forces agent with a giant sword), Officer Zhu Yuan (a cop girl with guns), and Wise (the MC, a civilian secretly employed as a "proxy"). Miyabi is speaking: "What do you think, Proxy? Is Officer Mewmew (not shown, but very obviously a cat) a sea otter or a cat?". You, as the player, get to choose which one to respond with. The bottom image is Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons sitting in a school bus chuckling while saying "I'm in danger."

Goin to Winnipeg
Screenshot from an old commercial. There are 3 men in airplane seats side by side. The two on either end are all business with ties and very oversized laptops. The guy in the middle is wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a blazer, and is excited to go somewhere tropical, but the two men on the outside are about to rain on his parade. He is, in fact, going to Winnipeg.

Glad to see Windows laptops keeping it classy with rows of misaligned marketing stickers
Photo of a set of 4 factory applied stickers on an otherwise decent looking aluminum laptop. The stickers are for AMD, Nvidia, and Energy Star. Absolutely none of them are properly aligned with each other.

It is a meme post featuring Vizzini from the Princess Bridge movie. His face has a half-sneering, half-laughing expression. The top text of the meme reads "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders". The bottom text of the meme reads "Upgrading to a new version of Xcode".

Screenshot of a Twitter thread. The first post is a screenshot of Bortus and Klyden from The Orville, the episode where they get addicted to cigarettes. Bortus looks like, well, Bortus, while Klyden looks excited. The reply is a photo of a huge bag of loose cigarettes and a bottle of alcohol, with the text “Girl dinner”.

Don’t think it’s supposed to look like that.

Disk is fine tho
Sleeve from a 5.25” floppy disk. The sleeve is mostly white, except that there are like… water stains on the rim of where all the holes on the disk would be.

DINOSAUR.
Photograph of a 5.25” floppy disk. It is Kodak-branded in an orange sleeve. The write-protect notch has been covered. The label is hand-written in blue felt pen and says “DINOSAUR.” in all-caps.

Can you imagine showing this to someone in the early days of personal computing? Or the early days of computing in general? How could there be more than a million files _in the world_? What could they possibly contain? Ridiculous!

“Italian cuisine”
Screenshot of an iPhone notification from DoorDash. The title is “Taste Pizza Hut’s Italian cuisine”. The body text says “Hi Renee, order their popular 14” large pizza and breadsticks on DoorDash. It’s a treat 🍕”.

Ma'am, this is a Long John Silver's.

No.
Screenshot of an AliExpress product listing. The title of the listing is “Correction of Paronychia with Toe Nail Correction Bracket for Treatment of Toe and Toe Care with Toe Fixator”. The image appears to be some sort of medieval torture device attached to someone’s big toe. The device costs $1.79, which is the lowest price in 30 days.

I think this is just “cursed”
An Apple IIGS running Tass Times in Tonetown, with video being output simultaneously to a Commodore 2080 monitor over RGB, a 55” television over HDMI, and a smaller TV, perhaps 20”, over composite. Also pictured but not online are a 24” LCD and a monochrome Apple IIc monitor.

Turns out she actually has a tumor in her mouth. She just finished a 3 day course of radiation therapy and hopefully soon she can get chemo to keep it from coming back. Prognosis isn’t great but we’re hoping she beats the odds!
