Rolling Most 2020 Images

This might be my campaign highlight. Phoenix. Scorching hot. Air Force One blasts into sunset to Sinatra’s ‘My Way’. A few remaining faithful wave goodbye. Moments later the dust cloud descended on us. Captures the essence somehow. pic.twitter.com/iiZMS4VLPd

SAD!

is there a news article accompanying that photo

MIKE LOVE: DEAD

lol, exactly

can i be shown a dead mike love weirdo?

It was on Twitter, in a tweet about an unrelated Trumpster getting COVID.

Fella above likely didn't have COVID. No embalming or open caskets for those fatalities.

I did a reverse-search on Google, which like Google usually does, just showed me all the places from where I had already seen it.

And Yandex gave me a bunch of dead kids, thanks Yandex.

So I don't know the story behind the photo above. Willing to say it's Mike Love because why not at this point.

Can we be shown widows + Mike Love?

not due to the heavy snow in the picture but because of an out of control wildfire that is still raging despite the heavy snow/precipitation and below-freezing temps.

god I haven't looked at this thread in about a month, what an embarrassing year this has been (I mean, there are worse things you could say about it of course, but ugh)

A very visually distinctive year, though.

How are these last two "2020" images, besides having been taken this year?

the pigeon is the exiting under secretary of transportation

the first represents climate change, the second represents how we feel when an unmasked person comes too close

the bird one is how we all feel. they will peck your eyes out, if you look too closely

the former is from internationally popular television show "who wants to bake a cake pip pip" and shows a fan favorite and a fan loathed both having stress melt-down while trying to entertain an ungrateful world in-between daily covid tests and social media kerfuffles

the latter child personifies my increasing claustrophobia and terrified madness in response to even the slightest and most benign intrusion into my bubble. the pigeon is rudy giuliani.

the pigeon just farted

not as good as the footage of Trump abruptly leaving and that guy throwing his hands up in the air

Some good ones in this NYT roundup:

Every time I open this thread, the first two posts remind me how quickly this year devolved to shit, even before COVID shut things down.
