Took me a good three seconds to process that that was not John Belushi. Extra coffee today.

A black and white photograph of John Belushi as his Samurai Delicatessen sketch character.
His kimono sleeve volume and hairline are a dead match for Eddie G’s appearance in the OP photo. The back of his hair is pulled into a topknot. He stands behind a counter, grasping a partially-drawn katana in his left hand and passing a plated burger over the counter with his right. Behind him is a chalk-drawn menu board in kanji.

The Deichman Library is a temple to knowledge. Riding electric trams, buses, and ferries (this was the quietest city I've ever been in). Kon-Tiki and Fram (polar exploration ship) museums across the harbor in Bygdøy. The Resistance Museum in Akershus. Vigeland Park for weird sculptures.

Photo of interior of Deichman Library in Oslo. You can see three stories of books through the open atrium of the modern concrete design. An escalator decided to the ground floor in the middle. A white-to-pink ombre piece of art hangs from the ceiling above, on the left side. Massive windows on the far wall overlook the harbor.

Wonderful night in D.C. experiencing the intensely personal songs and otherworldly voice of @annabsavage.com. Grateful to @marcrileydj.bsky.social for introducing me to her music.

A long-haired woman playing an acoustic guitar on stage. Her head is thrown back and her eyes are closed as she sings into the microphone. The backlighting is blue, and there is a red stool with a small effects board on it, to her right.

Kaz from Star Wars: Resistance and a Kowakian lizard monkey are shocked by what they see.
Kaz is a dark-haired, light-skinned teenaged human wearing a green jacket. His eyes are wide and his mouth hangs open. His left hand is grasping the torso of the lizard monkey, which was attacking him a moment ago, and his right arm is pulled back, about to throw a punch.

The lizard monkey is brown, yellow-eyed, spindly-limbed, with a potbelly and a beak. Its ears are too large for its head and look like something had chewed up elephant ears from the bottom, leaving only the top quarter. It has both feet planted on Kaz’s chest and an arm raised to deliver a blow. Its right arm is on Kaz’s face, with one finger slightly up his nose. Distracted from its attack, the creature’s body is twisted around, and it also has a look of surprise.

Ya just need one of these!

A Transformers toy "TechSpec" character biography rating card and it's red cellophane "decoder" overlay which allows you to see the blue stats line otherwise obscured by red noise lines.

Two astronauts gaze at a planet in the distance.
One asks, "Moon's segregated?"
The astronaut standing behind him points a gun at back of the the first astronaut's head and says, "Always has been"

The NewsRadio crew sits around a conference table in the radio studio common area. Caption (read in Phil Hartman's driest voice): "Corrupting the Public Integrity Unit? Delicious."

Black & white still from Dr. Strangelove.

Two middle-aged white men in military uniforms sit on a couch in an office. It’s a medium shot and framed to give a sense of claustrophobia.

The mustachioed man on the left is hunched over and nervously steepling his fingers.

The lunatic on the right is chomping a cigar and has his arm around the first man’s shoulders in what he thinks is a paternalistic gesture. He’s saying, “Why, you realize that… seventy percent of *you* is calzone.”

Hardcover book, white text on black background: WILD FAITH

A red snake winds its way from the top of the book down through the WIL and ending with its head on the I in FAITH. Its tongue is a stylized cross.

Hell yeah #aurora

Aurora borealis in the sky over a house. The house is brightly lit by streetlights. Above it the sky is reddish-purple. A stronger band of red rises vertically in the middle of the frame. On the right edge, the red is capped with a ting of green.

SLEEEEEP!

A black & white film still of a white, dark-haired, middle-aged male with beard & mustache. He is looking intently into the camera, as if into your soul. Mike Nelson and the Satellite of Love bots are silhouetted at the bottom.

I might be very late to this @mckelvie.bsky.social, but was just in London and was wondering if Woden was aware of this bite on his vibe.

A poster for the band ABBA's Voyage concert. Tagline: A concert like no other. The four members are presented sequentially left to right as tightly-cropped upper torso and head shots against a black background. The two male members are on the ends while the female ones are in the middle. The first woman is blonde and the second is red-headed. Both men are brown-haired. They are all wearing high-collared black leather tops trimmed in glowing yellow, red, blue, and orange piping, respectively, giving a futuristic vibe to the composition.

Certainly delivered on this score though.

A scene from the sitcom Arrested Development. Three panels of a bald man with mustache and glasses (Tobias) having a conversation with a long-haired blonde woman (Lindsay)
Panel 1: (Lindsay speaking) Well did it work for those people?
Panel 2: (Tobias speaking) No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but....
Panel 2: (Tobias speaking) but it might work for us.

The 10th Doctor, in an open-collared white nightshirt and blue bathrobe, looks contemptuously to his right at a human lacking decency or empathy.

Can't possibly have the body count of this smol king.

Head shot of C1-1P, astromech droid of Hera Syndulla In Star Wars: Rebels. Arms ending in pincer claws emerge from either side of his trapezoidal, orange-with-yellow detailing dome are reaching to the front to grasp and adjust his two optics lenses like an old-timey vaudeville character who can't believe what he's seeing.
