The 'insult deflection' meme where a stick person (marked 'You') aims a gun at a second stick person (marked 'Nintendo'). The red line describing the bullet's arc is marked 'Remake Hate'. The bullet bounces off Nintendo and hits a third stick person (marked 'The Skull Kids Who Are Having Kind Of A Hard Time, Man').

A friend reminded me of this banger from the old bad site tonight. Luckily managed to find it.

Angled shot of the railroad from the platform of Limerick Junction, a small rural station in the west of Ireland. In the foreground, the edge of the platform with its yellow line to warn passengers of the drop. Getting further away the light is provided by tall lampposts. A squat square building of old stone bricks is somewhat visible in the dark night.
Overlaid on the middle of the photo is the text "Limerick Junction" in the style of Elden Ring's 'new area found' screens.

made a little (big) sculpture yesterday for a friend who was having an 'exhibition birthday party', it's all one piece of chicken wire about 3-4x? life size. it's called Incomplete Self-Portrait, or, Take My Hand. pretty pleased with it! you've got to make things, man.

James, a white man with greying hair and glasses, is standing in front of a textured wallpaper wall. Along the top of the wall is a string of small lights. Just below these hangs a sculpture of a hand, about 50cm tall by 30cm wide, made of compressed and folded chicken wire. James is wearing a duckbill respirator mask and a light blue shirt.

happy birthday, here's Chester 😌

Chester, a grey cat with darker stripes and white areas on his face and chest and 'socks', is lying stretched out on a felted wool blanket. His face is screwed up in blissful sleep.

Chester, a grey tabby cat with white 'socks', is lying on a dark red/purple bedsheet, curled up into a shrimp-like pose. His eyes are closed blissfully. Many of his toe beans are visible, some black and others pink, because his feet are raised towards his chin.

okay but the sticker sheet is giving me a certain Vibe

plamo sticker sheet showing two eye stickers and a third sticker space below them (possibly a mouth?) with the sticker removed. the combination of eyes and this third sticker space, along with the overspray of the eyes onto the sticker sheet, looks a bit like a suspicious face

there you go, now don't say I never do anything for you!

perhaps a nice cat selfie for today

James, a white guy with glasses and greying hair, sits back on a couch smiling at the camera. In front of him (on his lap), Ollie the cat's face fills far more of the photograph. He is a grey cat with white accents around his eyes and mouth, and green eyes. He looks away past the camera like he's sick of it all.

Ollie (grey and white cat) fills the frame with his head, looking off into the distance. His eyes and ears are alert

you will LOVE how that showed up for me at first

a severely glitched/sliced-up image, mostly in red and yellow, with the very top of Emi's hat visible at the top in regular colour, next to some kind of bone-shaped ornament. almost all the rest is illegible or grey, but you can just see a horizontal slice of Emi's face with nose ring and part of the glasses in one of these glitched slices.

A photograph of Limerick Junction train station taken from the platform looking across the tracks. It's night time, and at the edge of the light cast by the electric lampposts a squat square building can be seen, old and apparently disused. Overlaid on the image are the words "Limerick Junction" using the typeface and layout of the 'new location' announcements in the videogame Elden Ring.

coming to you live from a bathroom in the hills of Ireland

The photo shows James reflected in a mirror in a tiled bathroom. He is wearing bright green shorts and a dark navy linen shirt with several buttons open.

a friend's wonderful cat passed away today so I'm naturally thinking about my own wonderful cat. he's very good and I love him. his name is Ollie. I'm blessed every day he keeps living.

Ollie the grey cat lies on a blanket (grey with white polka dots) with a background of purple sheet. he's curled up around a green knitted mouse toy

I have to ask what Hayley did to deserve this

screenshot of the video thumbnail for Paramore's Decode. the thumbnail is mostly a photo of Hayley Williams' face, but a play button is overlaid by YouTube and its position makes it look like a clown nose
