Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
A panel from a comic book. A giant muscular green man is lying face down on the ground. He says, "Hulk will sleep now, and maybe when Hulk wakes up everything that has made Hulk tired will be changed!"

I love this quote and I love Stephen Jay Gould. I'm a little less in love with the AI picture that looks nothing like him.
At the top is An AI generated image of a person with grey hair and a big bushy white beard, below that it says "daily stoic", which is followed by a quote "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." Followed by "Steven J Gould"

I finally understand what they mean by 'signal problems'! I've always wondered.
Two posts that appeared sequentially on my feed. The first is by Jeff Abbot, who says, "In honor of Diana Rigg's birthday and Augustin Daly's birthday here is Mrs Peel tied to train tracks (she escaped and punched out the guy who tied her up)" referring to a photo of Diana Rigg as Mrs Peel on the Avengers TV series tied to the tracks of a miniature train. The second post is from TTC Alerts, which reports, "Line 2 Bloor-Danforth: Delays eastbound from Spadina to Broadview stations while we fix a signal problem"

RIP Aramis
