Watching the 1999 House on Haunted Hill and in this very unimportant scene it looks like they inserted blockbuster boxes into the scene in post

Dalida in yellow, photo cropped close to her face. She has either a large yellow fur coat or huge boa around her neck. Her impeccably manicured hands are holding enormous yellow sunglasses down so her heavily eyelinered-eyes can lock on to some unseen delight. Her smile can only mean one thing: "I'd like some of THAT!"

Burgermeister Meisterburger from Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. He is wearing lederhosen and both of his fists are balled up, his face twisted with rage at the thought of children playing with toys.

Jessica I'm sorry but this look is not it

Angela Lansbury on Murder She Wrote. She is wearing a long, mock cowl neck smock in a vague blue/gray color. A stiff shirt collar is visible inside the cowl. The smock has pockets at the hips, and her wide long sleeves are thrust firmly into them. A female figure to her left is touching her arm, reassuringly, while Lansbury gives her an incredulous look. The Mendocino headlands, passed off as Cabot Cove, Maine, are in the background.

Well I've got good news and bad news

A poster on an LA storefront. It is black with white, sans-serif text, each word takes one line. It reads "NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL JAZZ IS DEAD"

I have been trying watercolor and it's been a really nice creative outlet. I have a station set up on my table and I just play around when I have time I did this painting exercise from @andrea-nelson-art.bsky.social and love how it turned out, but only from far away. Please don't zoom in

A watercolor sketchbook propped open on a sheepskin throw on a bertoia diamond chair (borrowed, not that you could tell by looking at it). The book is opened to a page with a little orange sailboat with red sails on a blue ocean scene with a nice cloudy blue sky in the background. The clouds look really good! The ocean is maybe a bit messy but, and this is important, as long as you don't zoom in it kind of looks like maybe there is shallow water and sand in the foreground and the suggestion of waves. The shadows on the sails and boat are probably impossible so again please trust me when I say it's a believable image of a boat.

Happy Pride everyone. Remembering the best email I got in 2018

A 2018 graphic from Toto advertising their pride party. Rainbow sans-serif font at the top says CONCEPT 190: A Washlet Studio.

In the middle of the image is the TOTO word mark in dark grey serif font. Underneath is more rainbow text, this time in a bolder font with black outline, that says "Pride Party!".

The background of the image seems to be a faded photo of the Toto Concept 190 showroom. A Toto toilet on the right is proudly expelling a rainbow over the entire scene.

Would appreciate some help with this post. A former colleague is battling blood cancer and is in urgent need of a stem cell transplant. Are you, someone you know, or your followers: - 18-35 - in good health - of Asian descent? Please register to be a donor, you could save a life! Thank you

I am writing to you today as a mother, humbly asking for help to save her child. My 29-year-old son, Warren, has been diagnosed with high-risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), an aggressive form of blood cancer. After undergoing chemotherapy, he now urgently needs a stem cell transplant to survive. We hope to find a suitable donor within the next 30-60 days, before the cancer can relapse, so time is critically important.
We are reaching out especially to individuals of Asian ancestry, because stem cell matching depends on genetic background, and patients are far more likely to find a compatible donor within their own ethnic group. Unfortunately, matching donors are very difficult to find, even among close relatives.
How you can help:
If you, your children, relatives, or friends are:
* Age 18-35 (most needed age group)
* In generally good health
* Of Asian ancestry
Please consider joining the stem cell donor registry and completing a simple cheek-swab test to determine compatibility.
Why registering is simple and safe:
* Registration starts with a quick, painless cheek swab
* In the U.S., you can join through NMDP https://my.nmdp.org/s/join?language=en_US...
* Ages 18-35 are especially encouraged to register
* Stem cell donations are similar to a blood donation
* Joining the registry is voluntary, and you may remove yourself or decline later
For our family, this is not just a medical crisis. This is our son, a young man with his whole life ahead of him, fighting for a chance to live.
Please help us by signing up, or by sharing this message widely - with friends, alumni networks, student communities, workplaces, churches, and other Asian community

Castro in Mountain View closed to automobile traffic and it is really nice. I wish more cities would repurpose their main drags to be more pedestrian-friendly. It's quite Parisian and chic
