In these gloomy times I found this meme entertaining.
Enjoy! #humor #meme #planetoftheapes
This image is done in the style of old school Hard Boiled Detective Novel Covers. There is a women with blond hair and a gold dress no shoes sitting on a white bar top. There is a man sitting behind her in a suit looking picture left, he is holding a hand gun. There are text bubbles with the woman saying: Ok... Let me get this Straight... Charlton Heston Crash Lands on a planet with a breathable atmosphere, horses, and Apes that speak English! Yet, he only realizes he's on earth when he sees the statue of Liberty?!? The man says: DAMN, Dirty Apes! The woman continues: HE's an Astronaut! Shouldn't he have noticed the MOON?!?

To be clear Trump is violating this law.
The text of American Law 18 U.S.C. 1385 concerning the use of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force. (summarized by me) That military can not deploy inside America without Congressional Approval.

Pulling my old Dragon Magazines out to sell on eBay and found this classic #phillfolio cover art. Such a classic. #dragonmagazine #TSR #TTRPG
The Cover of Dragon Magazine #56 from 1981. The background is a shade of pink/purple. The cover art looks like a photo, blue sky background, two humans huddling behind and to the left of a "dragon" snowman. The snowman is a chunky dragon with the right half missing and on the ground is a small burning piece of grass. Further right is a small purple dragon a little sheepish sorry for melting part of the snow dragon.

Text: I have never related so much to a cartoon in my life. Below that is a black ink cartoon (B&W). On the left is a group of cartoon humans staring at a door. One of the humans is holding a long broom that they are using to open the door. On the door is written the numbers 2025.

How does someone as Famous as #ElonMusk only have 21 friends???? Because it is a fake account. I lol'd at a post and now I have so many fake accounts wanting to be my friend / give me money. But it must hurt Elon Musk's feelings to know that even fake him has so few friends. lol
Screenshot of a fake Elon Musk Account with 21 friends. The thumbnail is the X of twitter and the white text on black says Elon Musk 21 friends.

I am dying laughing watching the immoral shits start to go after each other. #jdvance #scaramucci
A post by Anthony Scaramucci: I just want to personally thank JDVance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I don't think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful.

Posting this picture for future reference when I start talking about proper care of cattle & other farm animals. During summer vacations I would spend a few weeks visiting my Grandparents. That is Earthquakes Pride. I do know something about caring for large animals. #limousincattle #cattle
In this photo, blue skies. A grass covered pasture with most of the grass tamped down. In the foreground is a 3ton Limousin Bull with reddish brown skin. The bull is sticking out its dark purple tongue stuck out trying to lick my hand of any remaining alfalfa pellet dust. I’m a white guy wearing Levis – white t-shirt and a red and white ball cap. I am tiny beside the bull. In the background is a small open air hay barn and trees.

True, I enjoyed this year as well but my inner nerd would love Weird Al pushed up onto the world stage. #weirdal 🪗🎶
An image of Weird Al playing the accordion on stage. There is text saying "The Super Bowl Half Time Show That We Really Want".

A picture I took a few years ago of the Sutro Bath ruins. I probably took the image from one of the Cliff House balconies. #Photos #SF 🌳📷
A view of the ruins of the San Francisco Sutro Baths. Ocean to the left with waves. A pool of ocean water where the bath's building use to stand. Taken from the bluffs south of the baths.

It is strange what you can find in the Bargain Bin at the local comic shop. Thought such an interesting @gailsimone.bsky.social story would have cost more. It was a good read. #comicbooks 📖 #gailsimone #leavingmegalopois
There is a comic book collection for the comic book Leaving Megalopolis by Gail Simon and Calafiore. Pictured on cover a number of "Superheroes". Cover background is a grey cityscape.

A picture from last year I think. But the fall leaves on my car hood just caught my fancy. 🌳🍂 #fallleaves 🍃🍂
The front window of car showing the hood and windshield wipers covered in fall leaves that had come down from a tree the car was parked under.

Just finished Girl Genius vol 2 - Agatha Heterodyne and the Airship City. I love it. I have no idea how it ended up in the discount bin at my comic book shop.

Dragon Party Trick! From 1998 Dragon Magazine #243. Was going through old Dragon Magazines and thought this comic was good enough to track down a copy to share. #DragonMagazine #TSR #dragon
B&W ink drawing of several dragons around table with a small to scale catapult being used to toss a human into one of the Dragon's open mouth. The caption reads "Dragon Party Trick".
