A screenshot from Firefox's news suggestion. A dark grey background is behind white text at the top reading "Thought-provoking stories". Under that is an image of a middle-aged white dude smiling like he's just having a grand ol' time. The picture is labeled with a grey box that says "Politics". Underneath the image is the text "CNN" and "What We Know About the Minnesota Shooting Suspect" An ooooooooold screenshot from Twitter. Back when it was Twitter. @zackfox, whose PFP appears to be a Dragonball Z character I don't recognize (don't roast me plz) posted an image of a white family (Mom, Dad, preteen daughter" who are all tan in swim gear with big smiles out on a lake in a blue jetski. You can tell it's a lake because there's an out-of-focus treeline behind them. Anyways it looks like a stock photo, they're throwing up a lot of water and generally having a blast. What was I ... oh, yeah! Sorry, lost my train of thought. Anyways, the caption reads "this how the photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family".

A screenshot of a headline, white text over black background in a serif font, that reads “Trump charts new territory in bypassing Newsom to deploy National Guard”

A patch design I made years ago!
A circular space mission patch is seen. In the center, the Moon is eclipsing the Sun, with the Sun’s corona radiating out in bright yellow circles. To the left of the moon is an Orion spacecraft, completely in shadow. To the right is a docking port, also in shadow. The two face each other as if Orion is about to dock. The sky in the background is a dark blue with a scattering of white stars, along with the red planet Mars and the tan ringed planet Saturn. Text surrounds the design in a circle – the top reads “Astralis 20” as the mission name, and the bottom reads “Stott McClain Young Lovell Glenn” as the crew names. The outer border of the patch is silver.

Wait, why are we drooling over Forrest? He was constantly getting cucked by the true Dom Daddy of Enterprise, Ambassador Soval.
Ambassador Soval from Star Trek Enterprise, seen from the shoulders up, doin a better half scowl half smolder than Forrest. He’s a white dude who’s still got some hair, styled in a bowl cut, unlike Admiral Male Pattern Baldness. No stupid rank pips or flightsuit-tie combo like his whipped boytoy Forrest, Soval wears comfortable yet stylish Vulcan garb, including a dark green tunic under a dark brown duster. Behind him are illustrations of various ships named Enterprise (we can see an aircraft carrier and a Space Shuttle) in floating frames hanging on the gray metal wall of Captain Archer’s Ready Room, a location where Soval gave many a dicking down, verbally and probably physically too. That round-eared can’t-make-warp-6 cuck Forrest could NEVER.

Like yessss, send me into the Delphic Expanse Daddy!
Admiral Forrest from Star Trek Enterprise, seen from the shoulders up, doin a half scowl half smolder. He’s a white dude with a hairline that’s gone pretty far back but it’s close cut and he’s rocking it honestly. His uniform is a very dark blue jacket with red and silver piping over the shoulders, and a dual rank pip consisting of three rectangles on each side. Hey, how come Archer gets 4 rectangles but he’s only a Captain? Anyways, Forrest also has on a collar shirt and tie, which I always thought looked a lil ridiculous. Behind him is a wood wall with two circular space windows showing the Golden Gate Bridge beyond. He is OOZING, positively DRIPPING sex that coagulates into a puddle at his feet probably.

Once my engineering degree is finished, I will attempt to work for NASA specifically so that I can create a very rare, 5th type of Car Guy: guy who’s DIYed a tricycle motorbike into the Fusion Flea from Fallout.
The Fusion Flea from Fallout. It’s shaped roughly like a teardrop lying on its side, with the blunt end towards the front and the pointed end rounded off at the back. It sits on three wheels (2 front, 1 back) and can house a single rider, with a clear dome windshield providing visibility. The entire design is very retro-futuristic. This particular model is mostly a bright, cherry red, with a white highlight around the dome and chrome silver accents on the headlights and elsewhere.

The clasped hands meme (a painting of two muscular arms, the hands clasped together in support/solidarity). One arm is captioned “brats”, the other is “anti-fascists”, and the hands in the middle are captioned as “don’t obey in advance”

A Tumblr post. User cordeliaflight says: “My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency” To which user caracalliope responds: “Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?”

What do we think, folks? Should I buy it?
A DVD box set that is titled "Star Trek III: Voyager" with several characters in what I believe is Mandarin. The title bisects the cover with two Photoshop images above and below it. The top Photoshop image appears to be a poster for one of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies, as it features that show's cast but with hallmarks of the movie (Geordi LaForge doesn't have a visor, the ship in the background is the Enterprise-E, etc). The image on the bottom shows some sort of blue star (?) with three ships racing away from it and towards us in a sort of formation. The leftmost ship is the Enterprise-D from Next Gen, aimed left and upwards. The middle ship is the Defiant from Deep Space 9, flying more or less straight towards us and up. The rightmost ship is Voyager from Voyager, flying right and up, and the only thing on the whole poster that seems to be from Voyager itself. Overall, the product is clearly bootlegged: the quality isn't awful, but the contrast is definitely off and lends it the look of a B-movie poster. The back cover of "Star Trek III: Voyager". No Mandarin on this one. As previously, the title is more or less in the vertical center of the cover with images above and below. Above is a three section image showing the cast of Deep Space 9 to left, the cast of Next Gen in center, and the cast of Voyager to the right, diagonal lines separating casts even as the colors behind them mix. It looks like it's taken from one of those okay-quality posters that show the extended cast of a franchise. The image below is actually a series of small images: the seven DVD covers for the seasons of Voyager. All the covers are pictured as small images, in order, 4 above and 3 below. They're accompanied by yellow text that is a bit too small to read and set against a blue background. At very bottom is the standard boilerplate DVD text you gotta have. I think they put it on there just to fill space? Idk.

Space Mountain is probably the closest thing I can think of!

Ooh, actually, there’s also Mission: Space at Epcot, which puts riders in a centrifuge pod to simulate a mission to Mars!
The ride sign for Mission: Space sits under an overcast sky. The sign uses a future spacey looking font and has images of both Earth and Mars behind the text, with the sign itself protruding from half of a white sphere, possibly to represent the Moon. A large circular metal arm comes out of the sign to circle the Moon piece. Similar arms in much larger scale make up the ride’s facade, visible behind the sign. They circle around three full globes: one blue and white to represent Earth, one dark red to represent Mars, and a third smaller orange one, which is like second Mars? A little miniature spaceship is leaving the Earth globe towards the Mars one on a blue arm. Trimmed bushes and plants surround both the sign and the facade. We’re inside one of the cabins for the ride, which looks like a futuristic yet realistic spaceship cockpit. In front of us are three crew stations, labeled in small letters as, from left to right, Pilot, Commander, and Engineer. Each crew station is festooned with glowing buttons and switches, primarily in green and yellow, with screens that glow blue at each and a joystick for each rider. Large window screens occupy much of the space on the wall, each showing a view of the horizon on planet Mars as if the ship is descending towards the surface. This is an alternative view of the ride’s cabin, showing the Navigator position, which is to the left of the Pilot spot, also visible in the photo. This position contains the same window screen, buttons, computer screen, and joystick as the others. We are looking at the outside of the ride pods for the attraction. Each is a white cabin connected by blue and black arms that extend behind and then above the pod to attach to a black central column. This column is the centrifuge motor that lets them spin for the ride. The floor is white, gray, and black with orange directional arrows.

Mine would be a space ride, probably themed after a moon landing! Either it would be a roller coaster, or a 4D sim-type ride.
A reference image of Mark Samuels, an anthropomorphized river otter. Mark has fur that is predominantly chocolate brown with tan accents on the underside of his tail, the front half of his neck, and spreading out over the lower half of his face. The tan stops before spreading over the top of his snout. It’s implied that it covers some or all of his chest and stomach, but this can’t be seen, as he wears a royal blue NASA flight suit emblazoned with various mission patches, which are pictured individually on the left side of the image. The shape of the flight suit over his body suggests a physique that is in shape and muscular. His hands are uncovered, and he wears black boots on his feet. His tail protrudes uncovered from the flight suit, and wrapped around it is a black bracelet colored like a starfield and bearing a piece of metal that reads “For Small Creatures Such as We”. Above his left shoulder is a floating stack of books about space (implying an interest in the subject) and to the left of his hips is a closeup of his eye, showing the colors within. To the far right of the image, a copy of his hands and feet can be seen; the image is cropped from a larger reference. The background color is a bright yellow in the lower left, with a gradient fade to a dark blue-purple in the upper right. The background is textured in a manner reminiscent of a starfield. Finally, the handle of the artist, @vogelarts, can be seen in the lower left corner. A hand is holding an iPhone case that is printed with a piece of artwork featuring the same otter character as the previous image. Here, he wears a space helmet, a look of wonder on his face, with an array of bright lights behind him that imply the setting to be a cockpit of some kind. The art style is different, a touch more realistic. The phone case brand, “Otterbox”, is visible embossed along the bottom of the case.

Under a sunny blue sky, a red pickup is driving along a highway. We’re looking at it from the back, through the windshield of the car behind it, which we can tell because of a visible glare the dash is making on the glass. The ground is in shades of white, the road light asphalt and areas beside the road covered with patchy snow. The license plate of the truck reads “RES Q”

A popular meme format as a four-panel comic in which a person is drowning, only their hand above water, before another hand enters the frame in the second panel as if to save them, before high-fiving them in the third panel and leaving them to drown in the fourth. Your friends may love you, but do they love you enough to let you drown? The text reads “Thom” in the first panel, “Me” in the second panel, “Supporting your art” in the third panel, and then a small label of “Frozen lake” over the water in the final panel.

A grey tabby is sitting on top of a bare mattress while viewed by the camera from below. Only her head, a bit of her back, and one paw are visible. She peers at the viewer with one eye open and one eye lidded partly shut. She looks judgy as FUCK. Behind her are bookshelves with a spread of titles, mostly ones about space.

The only Bluth films I’m interested in
An image of a DVD case for “A Boyfights Cookout”, a fictional straight-to-home-video series made by patriarch George Bluth and starring his sons in the series “Arrested Development”. The DVD case shows a backyard with a tipped-over grill. One boy is on the ground, while another is behind him and looks poised to tackle. The case also lists the film as including “Baby Buster: A Fifth Grader Wets His Bed”, a short about the youngest Bluth boy. Buster is pictured in pajamas in a small corner frame; he looks strangely pleased with himself even though he’s apparently just wet the bed.

Richard Nixon in 1971
Famous meme from American Horror Story: a woman in her 60s or 70s with blond styled hair is addressing somebody off-camera with a scornful look, saying “There’s not going to be a swimming pool, you stupid slut.” In this meme “a swimming pool” has been replaced so the caption now reads “There’s not going to be an Apollo 18, you stupid slut.”

Featured Collection: Black Brilliance
The Netflix homescreen touts a “Featured Collection: Black Brilliance” selection. Alongside “Terror” and “American Primeval” (neither of which have posters with black people) is the documentary “American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson”. The preview loaded on the TV shows him famously putting on a glove. And during Black History Month!

Current reads are “After Apollo?”, a fascinating history of every decision that lead from Apollo to Shuttle; and “We Could Not Fail”, a collection of little-known stories about black folks who found work as space scientists and engineers in the 60s.
The cover of “After Apollo?” by John Logsdon, showing a distant rocket lifting off above the clouds, its plume reflected in the cloudtops below. The moon is barely visible between plume and reflection, our satellite sad (or possibly happy?) that we’d be stopping visiting during the era the book chronicles. The cover of “We Could Not Fail: The First African Americans in the Space Program” by Richard Paul and Steven Moss. Next to a gargantuan (like, two times the size of a person) model of the Saturn 1-B rocket and its launch tower, a black engineer wearing suit and tie stands on a ladder, holding some kind of device up to the rocket model. The background of the cover is teal, which fades to a starfield at the top.

So I may have a cat now
A multicolored gray tabby cat is photographed from above, sitting on my lap outside and held in place with one hand while I was dressed in black. Same setup as the previous picture, but now the camera is photographing the cat from the side. The cat’s eyes are lidded, half closed. The same cat sitting on my lap, now inside, with my legs up on a table as I pet the back of her head.

“HE MUST HAVE FLIPPED MY WIFE EIGHT TIMES!!!”
Tim Robinson from “I Think You Should Leave” yells at the camera while wearing a plaid and khakis. He’s dressed like a dad, but nothing is wrong with that! He stands inside by the front door of his house, which has a fancy electronic door that he’s advertising.
