Mediocre photoshop of Bonnie Tyler performing in front of a man in a sketchy-looking turkey costume hatching from a giant egg, with text reading "he's gobbledy strong/ and he's gobbledy fast / and he's gobbledy fresh from the fight"

Jumpscared while reading about New England witch trials

A tweet by @sketchesbyboze reading "one of my favorite things in the Talmud is the intense debate about whether the plague of frogs in Exodus was a million tiny frogs or one *very large* frog", accompanied by an illustration of a human sized frog walking down a path.

... but *that's* not the Torment Nexus. The Torment Nexus is us not wanting to be friends with them because of it.
Image of two posts from Paul Frazee: "Looks in the box] it's the Torment Nexus" And "People who should be friends ripping at each other"

best Hidden Mickey I've found lately
An obscure alchemical diagram consisting of several adjacent circles, three of which resemble Mickey Mouse. The captions read: From Fludd's Philosophia Mosaica The universe created by the dual principle of light and darkness And then delves into occupy detail not worth transcribing

Velvet Generation
A book cover with text that reads: Velvet Generation - a roleplaying game of rock & revolution by Rich Ranallo and Sky Leaton. The cover illustration is of two rock stars, one on guitar and the other singing into a mic, against a multicolored (mostly purplish) background.

It's happening!
A section of a boardgame, depicting southwest Europe with a variety of shapes and primary colors representing cities, and a mix of cardboard tokens and miniatures representing armies and military leaders respectively. Two more are held in hand the foreground.

Stumbled across my first truly nonsensical "in the wild" AI hallucination
Two photos of segmented steel footwear, labeled "Sabatons Armor" and captioned "Sabatons are medieval steel armor shoes used for reenactments. The term "sabaton" comes from the German words Ritter ("knight") and Aschenputtel ("Cinderella"). History: German Gothic sabatons date back to the late 15th century (1570-1490)."

Watching a documentary about Gwen Shamblin, texting my spouse pictures of all her giant hairstyles.
A television showing an image of a woman with a large blonde hairstyle, wearing a black turtleneck, in front of a blown-up image of a Renaissance painting of two hands touching. A subtitle reads "where there isn't anything unholy".

I need to be better about this, so here's a school of chonky carp I saw in the Chicago River yesterday.
Overhead view of twenty or so brown fish, in the shallows of a brown river, along with a floating log with a pair of ducks on one end. The ripples in the river reflect some sunlight. A tree with green leaves is in the upper left corner, a series of cylindrical concrete pylons is on the right side, and a concrete rectangle with a black fence covers most of the bottom left area. A bit of red railing covers it at the extreme bottom left.

Sinners minis vignette for Juneteenth, hope yours is a good one!
Painted 28mm miniatures of two men in three piece suits with hanguns, a man in a suit jacket with a guitar, a man in overalls, and two women in dresses. In the foreground, out of focus, is a miniature of a man in shirtsleeves and suspenders, facing away from the viewer and towards the other minis.

I'm not the world's best painter or converter, but pretty pleased with how these turned out.
Two painted wargames miniatures, representing 1930s gangsters. Both wear three-piece suits. The one on the left has a grey pinstriped suit, a white shirt; his tie, pocket square and fedora are red, and he has a pistol. The one on the right has a checkered suit, a blue shirt with a white collar, and a blue flat cap. This one has a pistol in each hand.

Hi NYT, since you're probably as confused by the replies here as you are by the basic responsibilities of journalism, here's some help:
Screenshot knowyourmeme.com reading "About "We're All Trying To Find The Guy Who Did This" is a quote from the Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson. The quote originates from a sketch where an unnamed man in a hot dog costume tries to pretend he is not the one who has crashed a hot dog-shaped car. The image of the man in the costume was widely used as a reaction image on Twitter and other websites in 2020 and early 2021, typically in response to complaints about problems from the people responsible for those problems."

finally saw Inside Llewyn Davis, basically because Ryan Coogler cited it as a Sinners inspiration.
multiple images of an angry dark-haired man (Adam Driver as Kylo Ren) yelling, captioned "Outer... space! Outer... space! Outer... space! Uh oh!"
