Repost with your earliest childhood crush from film/tv

Black and white photo of Harrison Ford in Speedos throwing a football. He's standing in front of a hedge and smiling. From late 70s/early 80s maybe, Han Solo and/or Indiana Jones era.

Any Americans grow up in a house that had these Avon perfume decanters in the shape of historical busts? We didn't have Roosevelt or Jefferson, but I remember swapping the heads of the other three and turning them backwards

1970s Avon perfume decanters meant to look like marble busts of American historical figures. Left to right: Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.

I was just served up this ad for...a Jesus-y adhd app maybe? And what is that? A looksmaxxed Jesus? I haven't had enough coffee for this.

Text up top: when doubts overwhelm, shifting your focus to Jesus can steady the soul amidst the storm. Beneath is the image of a man wearing white, with light brown highlighted hair cut sort of...is this Kenny Loggins? His bear is short, eyes blue. He's labeled, "The Promise Keeper." Underneath there's a blue button that says Discover True Focus.

Peter Cushing is one of my favourites. I've even made a pilgrimage to Whitstable.

The late great Peter Cushing resting glasses thoughtfully against his mouth, holding a tabby cat. Smoking jacket and cravat. Black and white photo.

In the words of this immortal post:

Oft-quoted post by @lloydrang with 12.1k reposts at the time I screenshotted it: "I'm GenX. We grew up in an all-print world. We read really fast. So, my Milennial and GenZ peeps, I beg you for the love of Bananarama, please just send me the article and not the TikTok of the dude talking about the article. In Prince's funky name, amen."

I just found a screencap from March 2023 and I have no idea what I am looking at here.

A silver metal rings with the head, shoulder, and eyeballs of a person sticking out of it. The person is completely covered in something green and mossy, with just the whites of their eyes showing.

Does pizza dough officially come in pucks now?

Refrigerated shelf with Asda price tag "£1.98 Pizza Dough Puck." Through the glass door you can see the pouch of Asda pizza dough. Apparently a puck.

Asda does not choose adjectives well.

Tomatoes on the vine in a plastic box with a clear plastic film over the top reading, "Asda Crunchy & Fragrant Vine-Ripened Tomatoes." Crunchy. Not my favourite kind of tomato.

She has just stolen my chair, so don't be fooled.

Very (and suspiciously) innocent-looking cat on an orange chair. She's fluffy with big eyes and a little heart-shaped ID tag is just peeking out of her white fur. She's a chair thief, but also the greatest cat ever.

Getting there. I put stripes on the soft cushions because it looked like Terry Jones was holding two ravioli.

Three miniatures from the Spanish Inquisition sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. All in their red robes, with Michael Palin on the left in his big red hat, holding one finger up while describing their chief weapons, Terry Gilliam in the center opening a big scroll, and Terry Jones on the right holding two soft cushions.

I can offer ... a cat and a bee.

Tabby and white cat sitting fluffily on a crocheted green-and-gray blanket. Little bell on a red collar. Long whiskers and ear hair. Murder mittens at the ready.

Fat bee on a sprig of lavender. You can see the little hairs on the bee. He's having a great day and doesn't even mind the paparazzi.

Heatwave Brits lounging around like

A Victorian (or Victorian-esque) illustration of a frog sitting on a rock in a red Speedo and a red fez with a pink bow tied around its neck. Also smoking a pipe and looking superior. Or I think it's a pipe. It's got a long pipe vibe, whatever it is.

Happy 50th anniversary to Jaws, although I won't be watching it until the 4th of July, as I usually do.

Scene from Jaws. Captain Qunit slides down the deck of his boat and into the mouth of Bruce, the mechanical Great White Shark.

TK Maxx just sent me a Halloween email. It's both too early and incorrect for those of us who celebrate year round. And so pink!

An email advert for Halloween decor items sent out by TK Maxx in England during a heatwave in June. Images of a skull, a ceramic pumpkin, a half-assed hand of glory, all in shades of pink on a fuschia and pink background.

Somebody at Sainsbury's is having a laugh.

A tiny red cabbage beside a standard coffee cup, for scale.

RIP Brian Wilson. My favourite bit of trivia about him remains his obsession with "Shortnin' Bread." Respect.

From Wikipedia: Alex Chilton, the former lead singer of Big Star, recalled receiving middle-of-the-night phone calls from Wilson asking him to sing on a recording of "Shortenin' Bread"' ("He was telling me I have the perfect voice for it").[31]
The Monkees' Micky Dolenz said that when he tripped on LSD with Wilson, John Lennon, and Harry Nilsson, Wilson played "Shortenin' Bread" on piano "over and over again".[29]
Biographer Peter Ames Carlin wrote that Elton John and Iggy Pop were bemused by an extended, contumacious Wilson-led singalong of "Shortenin' Bread", leading Pop to flee the room proclaiming, "I gotta get out of here, man. This guy is nuts!"[32]
Musician Alice Cooper recalled that Wilson considered "Shortenin' Bread" to be the greatest song ever written. According to Cooper, when he asked why, Wilson responded "I don't know, it's just the best song ever written."[33]

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

Scene from the film What We Do in the Shadows with 3 vampires standing on a hallway dressed in three very different, but equally outlandish ways. There's a top hat, a giant furry jacket, a frock coat and cravat.

Imagine you're being summoned. What GIF represents that?

From the silent film Nosferatu. Count Orlock rises from his coffin in a single upright motion.

This is floating around over there and gave me a good laugh.

Coffee shop message board featuring the "Ides of March special." It's the "Et tu Latte," honey, almond, and cinnamon syrup with steamed milk and espresso." It's described as "a drink fit for a senator."

Floof showing one toof.

Fluffy cat lying down, showing mostly her white underside. Close up, just face and shoulders, with her little brown patch of fur on one white cheek and a dark smudge on her pink nose. One tooth visible.

Psychedelic swirls around the caption, "Now that's what I call yikes!" If you know any of those old tv adverts for compilation albums, that's the style of it.

Judith Butler in a leather jacket. Defiant.

Hand-eye coordination?

Photo of a fluffy, furry blanket and its care instructions. All the usual things, like do not dry clean and do not bleach, but the last symbol is labeled "hand-eye coordination."

"You'll be visited by three spirits." The three spirits:

a photo of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed arm in arm. Iggy, in the center, has something in his mouth. A wallet, maybe? He's looking dead into the camera with a wallet in his mouth. Lou and Bowie are not reacting to it at all, just posing.

There is another cat in the garden and Jess is howling through the window at it with great vengeance and furious anger.

Image of an irate Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction quoting Ezekiel 25:17.

I was just looking up recipes and one of my suggestions was the Bristol stool chart.

A frequently used side eye meme featuring a brown monkey puppet in a green shirt.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

A man stares off in the distance. The caption says, "I bring a sort of rotisserie chicken vibe to sleeping that cuddlers don't really like."

It's a good morning here in the UK. Waking up to videos of thousands of anti-fascists hitting the streets vs a tiny number of far-right dickheads.

A handful of sad fascists struggling with flags, isolated on a roundabout in Blackpool as disinterested cars pass them by. Dubbed the "Tragic Roundabout."
