Embarrassing stuff for an Australian company, but then, what isn't embarrassing about Ticketek?

Checking on the progress of an insurance claim online and this photo stares out at me in the background of the webpage... Incredible choice; the longer your look, the more manic it becomes. (my sympathies to the actor/model/whoever who was probably smiling-with-teeth for the 5th hour straight)
Photo of a white guy in a white shirt looking dead in the camera and smiling the most forced, about-to-snap-and-kill-everyone mile you've ever seen.

ok so I finished Ed1th F1nch and I feel like I'm having a stroke I thought it was...really bad...and the plot was laughable. LAUGHABLE
Wikipedia screenshot: "What Remains of Edith Finch received critical acclaim, receiving praise for its immersive storytelling, characters, and presentation; and is considered an example of video games as an art form. Among other awards and nominations, it won the British Academy Games Award for Best Game 2017 and the Best Narrative category at both The Game Awards 2017 and the 2018 Game Developers Choice Awards.

Then there's the brother with "substance abuse problems" requiring serious treatment, which seems to just be... weed?

I think it's fair to say that What Remains of Ed1th F1nch is just not Working For Me (I know I'm late to the party!!!), but also just laughed out loud at this bold decision to memorialise a 1 year old baby who drowned in the bath with a bottle of bubble bath. Incredible stuff.
Screenshot from game: a baby's crib turned into a memorial, with memoranda, candles, and photos scattered around. Positioned prominently is a bottle of bubble bath.

And last but not least, the grab-bag category: Mount Miscellaneous.
A collage of 8 profile pictures of psychologists. Overlay text reads "Mount Miscellaneous". From left to right, top to bottom, the images and overlays are: woman smouldering from the shadows – impressively sultry; black & white photo – unnecessary monochrome 1; black & white photo – unnecessary monochrome 2; a woman whose head seems way too large for her jacket grins at the camera – enlarged head??; a vertical photo with the edges visibly cut off – vertical; black & white photo – unnecessary monochrome 3; a blurry looking-up-beneath-fridge photo – blurry MySpace classic; and a photo of a woman in large black sunglasses and an oversized headset with mic – flying instructor??

Which brings us to... the chasm of bad Photoshop!!! This had a lot of overlap with other categories, but these were the strongest contenders IMO.

Next...the considerably smaller lake of grumpy women. Some of these women, I concede, are merely looking mysterious~ or intense~, which unfortunately is also not a great first-impression as a psychologist.

I was meant to be emailing potential shrinks this morning, but instead of doing that, I created a Powerpoint presentation of the best psychologist profile pictures I found. First up, we have... the sea of grumpy men. No surprises there, really.

So I really should be getting ready for work, but I have to quickly yell about The Ringer, in this dumb article of the top 100 TV episodes in the past century, vindicating what I've been saying since forever: 'The Constant', from Lost, is one of the best fuckin episodes of anything I've ever seen

A screenshot of text talking about Waugh's extreme hard-on for a lost age, and his curious and persistent location of that lost age purely in upper-class snobs.

Really gotta read more Waugh.
A screencapped passage of text. The highlighted section reads: 'Waugh is very good at being fed up and always evokes the wretchedness and exasperation of travel with relish – one of his reviewers singled out for praise his ‘disgusto’. He is bracingly disabused of the clichés of the seasoned traveller: it is nonsense to say ‘that one eats with a gay appetite and sleeps with the imperturbable ease of infancy’ when in fact you can’t get a good night’s sleep and the food is heinous.'
