last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Honestly, this is pretty close.
Two-panel Christian Bale meme. First panel reads "Impressive. Very nice." Second panel reads "Now let's see your voting record."

Statue of Hermes at Plaça de la Verónica in Barcelona.

Hermes, Luck Bringer, Bearer of Good Things, I honour you today.
A photo of a statue of the god Hermes, in an alcove between two pillars. He wears a loose wrap around his body. One hand is braced on his hip, and the other bears his caduceus. He wears his winged hat and wrapped sandals.

A screenshot of text, posted by instagram account "friendly comrade memes." It reads: "For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up any fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally, I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always ensure that the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they start by bargaining from the Centre position and moving Right--and eventually, after enough of that, it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not overmatched, they aren't weak, they aren't cowards...they're complicit.

Today, as on all days, we are called to oppose war in all its horror.

Free Palestine.
A screenshot of a poem on an off-white background. The poem is titled Dolce Et Decorum Est, by Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs, And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots, But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of gas-shells dropping softly behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.— Dim through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Marble sculpture entitled "L'ange du mal," carved in the 1800s in Belgium. The statue portrays Lucifer, seated on a pillar of rought stone. He is nude except a cloth across his thighs. His weight is braced on his right hand, in which he holds a crown and a rod. Beneath his feet is a serpent. His head is bowed, with wavy hair reaching his shoulders. He is surrounded by a mandorla of bat wings. The statue was deemed "too sublime," distracting, and against Christian values. It was replaced by a similar figure carved by the original artist's brother some years later.

Note for new users: when you block people, they aren't able to see the smarmy reply you just sent them.
Bluesky user @ismisa.bsky.social posted in response to a comment from user @fartherafield.bsky.social (not pictured). Ismisa's post reads "It's not satire. You clearly don't understand what it means or how it is written, know it all American. Suck fking know alls making shit up as they go and presenting it as facts." A reply from @fartherafield reads "I am not American. What makes you believe it is not satire?"

A meme using the format of a vehicle burning out as it quickly takes a ramp off a highway. The sign above is labelled "fund colleges during an employment crisis" for continuing on the highway, or "have another corruption scandal" for the exit the car is taking. The car is lablled "Doug Ford, of fucking course."

A screenshot of a New York Times article link. The photo is a black and white of Charlie Kirk in a suit, smiling, head down. He appears to be on a stage. The article headline reads "Opinion | Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way." The screenshoted link directs the New York Times website.

A graphic labeled "the long term effects of voting for the lesser evil." It shows a line labeled "the left" to the left "the centre" in the middle, and "the right" to the right. Below, the same image is repeated, but "the left" is crossed out in red, and "the centre" is replaced with the words "the left." The new middle between "the left" (former centre) and "the right" has been labeled as the new centre. In each successive chart, the "centre" moves farther to the right as centrists compromise with the right wing and cede greater power. On the last graph, the line has been artificially extended to the far right, and what was labeled "the right" on the first graph is now the left, as the right has reached a farther extreme. The centre is found farther right than the original right wing had been, as a result. The image is intended to illustrate the impact of centrist/liberal compromise with the right wing, encapsulated by phrases like "the left is always purity testing political candidates."

An illustration by Gustave Doré from Milton's Paradise Lost. The black and white image portrays Lucifer being cast from the clouds down a beam of light toward a featureless sphere. His mammalian wings are outstretched. Overhead there are stars twinkling.

Alas, I believe we must reconcile ourselves to the fact that there were likely many Germans who never came to regret voting for Hindenburg, assured that at least they did not vote for Hitler.

Just a reminder that as much as people may want to stick it to Trump and his supporters, borders are violence and are in fact one of the primary forms of grotesque American violence playing out before our very eyes. Any proposal to tighten the border of Canada is in line with that approach.

This will age pathetically.
A skeet from @brentbutt.bsky.social, a Canadian comedian and actor. The skeet is dated March 14, 2025. It reads "Here we go!!! Day 1 in Canada with our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney. Gotta say... I have a good feeling. A feeling that the right person has stepped to the helm at the right time in history. Fingers crossed. Elbows up." The skeet concludes with a Canadian flag emoji.

This is the kind of brain genius "resistance" libs are brewing up.

America truly is fucked lmao.
A screenshot of a skeet from user @leftliblucy. It reads "It is well worth noting that no FBI Director has ever been a Democrat. In all the decades of its existence, this country has never experienced a left-liberal security state. I think it would be appropriate for it to finally do so, given the magnitude of the internal reactionary threat."

If you experience any anxiety from self-injecting, I cannot recommend an auto-injector highly enough. This one is from union medico. Comes with many sizes of clip. You can find vidoes of people using/reviewing them.

This is what members of the democratic party do in Korea.
South Korean Democratic Party member An Gwi-ryeong reaches for the barrel of a soldier's rifle as she attempt to enter South Korean parliament after martial law was declared in that country in late 2024. The photo shows An in a leather jacket and turtleneck, bare handed, her arms and hair blurred from motion.

If I'm being honest I should probably just post four images from the standalone Gwent game.
Promotional image for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Image shows a gold game logo, two versions of Link (child and adult) and a background of the Master Sword on a blue field. A screenshot for a YouTube video. Image shows Infamous Second Son game logo next to Felsin, the player character. Delsin is wearing punk clothing and is surrounded by smoke and sparks as he performs a special move from the game. Promotional image for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Image shows the player Character, Geralt of Rivia, behind the game logo. He has white hair and glowing gold eyes, and is clothed in armour. He draws a steel sword which glows with runes. A silver sword is strapped to his back. Game cover for Horizon Forbidden West. The background shows the player character, Aloy, touching her forehead to her spear. The foreground shows Aloy in a field with her shield and bow in hand. She faces multiple hostile machines shaped like various animals.
