ALT Digital sign in an airport. Text on comms creatives yellow background: Dear Colin in finance, using Plain English doesn't mean we're dumbing down.
ALT Screenshot from Reddit. Text reads: House likely broken into. Why would they only take £20 worth of chocolate? Right. Night before last the strangest thing in my life occurred and I want your brilliant minds to show me a viable solution.. 1. bought a massive 2.5kg box of celebrations for Xmas period on Monday.. 2. eat 1 single celebration Tuesday night at 2130. (So 2.4999kg still exist) 2a) the 2.49kg of celebrations are now split between a big bowl on the table and the remaining 2kg or so are in a plastic bag loose on the side. 3) wake up 0630 Wednesday morning. EVERY. Single. Chocolate has gone. Vanished. No mess. No wrappers. No evidence. 4) there is zero evidence of animals.

ALT Cartoon called 'Comms Olympic Games' by @HelReynolds. Shows 8 squares: 'Delivering a message' (man in running gear sprinting to post an envelope in a postbox). 'Rolling out a project' (woman rolling a huge boulder). 'Launching a campaign' (man rides a rocket). 'Mopping up messes' (Person on ice skaters sweeping the ice on the floor). 'Putting out fires' (woman using a fire extinguisher) 'Spreading the word' (man lifts and stretches the word 'word'). 'Pitching stories' (woman running and throwing a book). 'Hitting targets' (woman doing archery).
ALT Cartoon shows an airport luggage conveyor belt with suitcases going around, and a sign on the wall that says: ‘Welcome to the comms conveyor belt, by HelReynolds’. Most suitcases have 'task' written on them and the front ones say: 'big deadline'; 'very fiddly task (takes longer than you think); and 'last minute request'. Person at the front holds a bag that says 'yet another task!!) and looks a bit overwhelmed as they stack their trolley with suitcases.
