Black-and-white 1960s photo of a young Japanese girl standing outdoors in a wooded area. She leans lightly against a fallen tree trunk with her hands behind her back, one leg crossed in front of the other. She wears a cardigan, pleated skirt, socks, and shoes, and her hair is tied back. Tall grass and several trees fill the background, giving the scene a quiet, natural setting.

In the 80s, my bro Lorne & I showed mom a photo of The Beatles. She pointed at Paul: "He’s very good looking." We were shocked. She hated rock. Lorne showed her The Stones. She pointed at Charlie Watts. I asked, "The drummer's good looking?" She said "No. They’re all ugly. He’s just the least ugly".

Rest in peace, Miss Keele. You were one in a million. (6/6)

I regret not going to any of the Humberside reunions over the years to say hi and tell her how much I appreciated all of that. She made being at H.C.I. memorable. I'm really sorry to hear she is gone now and I won't be able to tell her in person. (5/6)

-- and she didn't yell at me when I ate a rose on stage when it was given to me unscripted. I figured it was something in character, much to Davoir's ( who played Abner) chagrin. She was kind, funny, warm and all the students I knew absolutely loved her. She *was* the spirit of Humberside. (4/6)

Even though I wasn't in any of her classes, she saw me enough around the music department to give me roles as comedic relief in several musicals; I will say being Hairless Joe in L'il Abner was one of the highlights of my time in high school. (3/6)

She was one of five amazing music teachers at Humberside C.I. during my time there. She was so important to my late brother Lorne -- she gave him the love of music, of theatre and was an important reason why he decided to become an actor. (2/6)

Black-and-white photo of a wonderful woman seated behind a music stand, wearing a sweater with the words “Music Man” on the front. She is turned slightly to the side, appearing focused, as if listening or directing during a music rehearsal.

When you are a kid, the adults that matter are the ones who give: their time, their energy, their positivity. They care not because they have to but because they just do. Janet Keele was a teacher who just did ... and more. (1/6)

A screenshot of the Annie Lane advice column on The Oregonian website. The text is large but still unreadable due to the thin strokes in the letters.

Dear @oregonian.com : Can you please change your font from this Ultra Light weight to something more readable? It is so hard to read your otherwise excellent content, even when I resize the font. #a11y

A close-up photo of a vintage Galaxian tabletop arcade game by Coleco. The small blue arcade cabinet has a built-in screen with glowing VFD graphics showing rows of colorful alien ships descending toward a player ship at the bottom, with a digital score reading “0000” at the top. The marquee above the screen displays the Galaxian logo in green, yellow, and blue with a starburst detail.

Got this bad boy working today! Thanks so much to the Inter-Access makerspace for helping me so much here. #80s #1980s #retrovideogames #videogames

A retail display sign for Jammers brand pyjamas shows a family of five modeling matching holiday pajamas featuring a creepy smiling mother, father, two young children, and a toddler. They stand barefoot, all wearing identical outfits: black long-sleeve tops decorated with stylized red and white Christmas trees, paired with dark plaid pajama pants. They look like they are part of some weird Yuletide Cult.

The Jammers Family Xmas Cult photo is hella creepy this year. #advertising

A vintage 1950s comic-book panel shows a confident man walking down a city street at sunset. He wears a wide-brimmed hat with a feather, a sleeveless red vest over a short-sleeved green shirt and yellow shorts. Several surprised or amused onlookers—men in suits and casual clothes—stare at him from the sidewalk. At the top of the panel, text reads: “In a few years, if designers have their way, the modern American male may dress like this on hot summer days.”

It looks like the predicted my look back in the day. #fashion #vintage #comic #comics

Poster styled like a 1960s horror movie advertisement. Large bold text at the top alternates blue and white and reads: “WHEN THE WILL IS READ, HIS HEIRS TURN UP DEAD!!!”. Below, an image in black and white shows a terrified woman rising from an open coffin, reaching out with one hand. On the right is a circular white badge with distressed lettering that reads: “THE CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE – The classic gothic horror whodunnit from 1964.” The background is black, giving the composition a dramatic, eerie tone.

For the holiday season, we at Killer B Cinema are showing the gothic horror whodunnit from 1964: The Curse of the Living Corpse on November 7 at See Scape in Toronto.

Lizzie & I posing outdoors in front of leafy trees. I am wearing a dark fedora, sunglasses, a pinstripe suit with a patterned tie and pocket square. Lizzie's on the left wears a floral dress with a pearl necklace and a flower in their hair.

Seven years with Lizzie seems like a blur. Love ya, Chère.

Ugh - I guess you're right.

Why is #ChrisBrown still popular, given all the things he has done and allegedly done?

Thanks, Vic! However, I miss my early 2000s hair...

Four men striking exaggerated poses for the camera at what appears to be an outdoor patio. On the left, a grinning man wears an oversized black bucket hat, large square glasses, a pastel blue-and-lavender track jacket, and a chunky gold chain—looking like he just stepped out of a 1980s hip-hop video and is about to drop the least threatening diss track ever. Next to him, a bald man in a flannel shirt and wraparound sunglasses leans in with a smirk, channeling equal parts dad-at-a-barbecue and background extra in The Fast and the Mildly Agitated. In front, a man in a fedora, black sunglasses, and a Hawaiian-print shirt flashes a wide-fingered hand gesture—possibly repping either West Coast rap or his love for a five-piece chicken combo. At the back, a bearded man in a backward baseball cap and aviator shades throws up a peace sign with the relaxed confidence of someone who’s been day-drinking since brunch. Patio umbrellas, a brick wall, and hints of sunlight complete the scene of this squad clearly having way too much fun.

The worst 90s boy band is now all grown up. Taken at our work party.

When my brother and I first became computer programmers, she said she would have chosen to do the same thing if she had the same opportunities at our age. I think this was the only knew how to express pride in our accomplishments.

Thanks mom. I was proud to be your son too. (2 of 2)

Black-and-white 1960s photograph of an interracial couple posing indoors. On the left, a white man with short, neatly styled hair and a trimmed mustache wears a dark suit, white dress shirt, and narrow dark tie, standing with a neutral expression. On the right, a Japanese woman wears a traditional light-colored kimono decorated with a floral and bird motif, secured with an ornate obi belt. Her hair is styled in a voluminous updo with soft curls framing her face. She wears drop earrings and a ring, and holds a small white cloth in her hands. Behind them is an intricately patterned decorative folding screen.

Yesterday was my late mom's birthday. She was a force: strong, stubborn and often surprisingly funny. My dad was the artist; she was the analytical and logical one. (1 of 2)

This sounds like something a frat boy would make the day after a night of binge drinking when they wake up with nothing in the fridge but ketchup, yogurt and a pack of expired pride the mom bought for him at Costco when he moved into his flat years ago.

A screenshot from the Us Weekly website showing a quote attributed to Gwyneth Paltrow about Astronomer, a company tied to Apache Airflow. The quote reads: “Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run a patchy airflow…” The 3 word phrase “patchy airflow” is underlined in red, and the word “seriously?” is handwritten in bright red next to it. The humor comes from the awkward phrasing—“patchy airflow” unintentionally makes it sound like the product is unreliable, rather than referencing the product Apache Airflow, a popular data workflow tool. The post mocks bad writing in journalism today.

Dear @usweeklymag.bsky.social

I know journalism is hard, but when you publish a story about a company scandal, is it too much to ask to get the company's product name, Apache Airflow, right? #youhadonejob

Actual photo of Ozzy Osbourne wearing round sunglasses playfully pretends to bite Kermit the Frog's head off while grinning at the camera.

#RIP

A flat black granite grave marker set in grass, engraved with the surname 'DEADMAN' at the top, flanked by illustrations of an old truck on the left and a motorcycle on the right. It commemorates two individuals: Duke Derek (1938–2008), described as a husband, father, and grandpa farmer; and Dean Derek (1976–2013), described as a son, brother, and uncle. An inscription at the bottom reads: 'We will miss and love you always.'

I guess I am okay with #AI as long as it helps me do painfully horrible things like debugging spreadsheets.

I hate #Excel. I am a self-described Excel idiot. It really bugged me that (for years) I could not figure out how to do something moderately complex in Excel.

I finally asked #ChatGPT to fix it. It gave me an almost right answer, but I was able to figure out what it did wrong and fixed it!

A man was spewing Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric at Runnymede and Bloor needed to use a really loud microphone. I guess he knew no one would listen to him otherwise.

That's Sandii and the Sunsetz' Sandii!

A rural Ontario landscape with a wide green field in the foreground and several large wind turbines in the distance. The turbines rise above a line of trees under a partly cloudy blue sky. Power lines stretch horizontally across the image, dividing the sky and fields.

Lizzie is convinced these look like the War of the Worlds Tripods. I don't get it. What do you think? #waroftheworlds #hgwelles #scifi #ontario #canada

A sign for the inviting visitors with exaggerated and oddly placed quotation marks. It reads: Wiarton Legion (quote) Cordially (unquote) Invites You to Come and Enjoy Yourself at Branch 208. Entertainment Every Wed. and Sat. (quote) Afternoon (unquote)

Unnecessary quotes are unnecessary. #Wiarton #WiartonOntario #Canada

A serene, pastel-hued evening scene at a harbor with calm water reflecting the soft purple and pink tones of the sky. A trio of ducks glides across the water in the foreground. In the distance, sailboats are docked near a tree-covered shoreline, and a small lighthouse with a glowing red beacon marks the end of a stone pier.
