Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
Jamie McKelvie’s Reverse Centaur: drawing of a creature that has the nude legs and waist (and presumably the genitals) of a man, and above that human waist is the head and mane of a horse. The Reverse Centaur is running.

The music he wrote for this is not my favorite of his music, but certainly illustrative.

Though it probably cost more than 1 guitar + 1 cheapo screwdriver

What the Apple fuck.

I was just searching for a perfectly normal Breeders song!
A TV where a search on Apple Music is being conducted. The search entry is just the 3 letters “div” — the first actually suggested result that Apple offers is “divorced dad rock”

Me, patiently waiting for the Betty White entry:
Betty White sits on a couch as Elmo looms menacingly behind her. (Okay, not actually that menacing. Not even necessarily looming. Fine, fine, ruin my fun. Jeez.)

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. ”Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, superhero, or Matrix

if you see this, post an image you saved just because it made laugh
Cartoon of a boxing ring, fighters in their respective corners with their gloves raised. The announcer stands in the middle, saying into the microphone: "In this corner, a man who describes everything as ‘Orwellian. And, in this corner, a guy who loves saying ‘Kafkaesque'!"

A Thulsa Doom prequel, CONAN THE BARBARIAN meets WICKED but not a musical. Probably. Even though “Contemplate This On the Tree of Woe” would be a great title for a song and dance number.
B&W still of the villain Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) in the movie CONAN THE BARBARIAN. He looks menacing as he prepares to draw a bow, but instead of an arrow he’s about to shoot, it is a snake. It’s magic and he’s evil!

2 unhandleably high agency males, sometime before going at it in a directly phallocentric manner
Yevgeny Prigozhin is bending over to place something we can’t see in front of Vladimir Putin, seated, who has his lower lip stuck out as he looks down at what Prigozhin is serving.

“The Nixon who entered China in 1972 was not the one we sent back.”

—Marshall Brickman, “Simon” (1980)
B&W closeup of Alan Arkin as the title character in the 1980 movie “Simon,” looking all cult-leader-y, a Hindu-looking circle painted on his forehead, a tallis draped over only one shoulder, holding a cut rose to his nose

I suggested this in 2017, damnit! I want a prize! Or a White House job!
a 4-tweet Twitter thread from @davidorlo at 1:00 PM - 21 Feb 2017 How to give @realDonaldTrump effective security briefings: Make a TV news set. "Anchors" read briefs to camera. "Broadcast" to his TV. 1/ Add some theme music, graphics & scrolling text, have agents as "on-location" correspondents a la @TheDailyShow 2/ Build a set, cast anchors/reporters, reqrite briefs w/TV drama. Some SNL-type commercials. He'd pay attention! @nbcsnl 3/ #FakeRealNews customized for @POTUS would be cheaper than any accidental war. @secdilemmasblog END

And of course the worst, most evil thing about cassette tapes:
Ancient (1980s) anti-home-taping campaign; [huge text] HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC Skull and crossbones in which the skull has been replaced with the silhouette of a cassette tape [smaller text, centered between the bottom bones, sort of tucked in there] AND IT'S ILLEGAL

A discarded recliner on a Los Angeles sidewalk has been decorated with a sad clown face painted on it, the work of the artist known as “Lonesome Town” who frequently works painting such faces on discarded furniture and appliances and then photographing the scene

Spotted last night on the south side of the plaza with the Bull statue in Durham NC. Is John Carpenter on Bluesky? Can someone make sure he sees this, if the creator(s) didn’t send him some gratis as thanks? I have no idea who did this or when. #bullcity #durham

Remove a letter, ruin a movie.

Adlands
From the movie Badlands by Terrence Malick, a young man standing in a field — Martin Sheen — with his forearms draped over something stick-shaped — maybe a stick, maybe a rifle? — that he’s holding over his shoulders, in a sort of scarecrow / stocks pose, maybe even a little crucifixion-y

No word on which date will be memorialized as “Victory Day for Senior Championship at Trump International Golf Club,” as the President has many such dates to choose from, including those which have not yet happened.
Headline from New York Times: Trump Says He Is Renaming Veterans Day as 'Victory Day for World War I' The president said he would also label May 8, known as V-E Day for Victory in Europe, as "Victory Day for World War II" and vowed to celebrate America's military wins.

With apologies to Pooh for the spelling error
A drawing shows Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet (Shepard style, no Disney) walking from behind, as in familiar memes, and the text, with Pooh's name misspelled: "Is he dead yet?" asked Piglet. "No," said Poo. "Fuck," said Piglet. I don't know if this is the original, but I found it at:

US citizens shouldn’t serve their sentences in foreign prisons! Well…mostly.
Donald Trump tweet or whatever it’s called on Truth Social: Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump 1h I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!

Post a warning.
We are looking at the sea, in Italy (Baiae or Bacoli, I don't remember, unfortunately) Blue sky and big white clouds, the hills of the peninsula. A big concrete pier with people walking on it, quite large (the pier not the people). Multiple cars could fit on it. But the point of the picture for our purposes is a signpost on this pier, with two signs on it. The lower one, round, has a "NO" slash through some kind of trumpet or maybe it's a bugle. The upper sign is triangular, with a red border. It shows a car, after driving off a black wedge presumably standing for this pier or perhaps just the shore in general, plunges toward the sea, represented by a couple wavy lines. I took this picture in 2012, but the icon for the car looks like it's a 70s sedan.
