Reminds me of this atrocity.
A two-part meme about social distancing and the Pythagorean theorem. The top panel is a poorly-drawn diagram titled "Maintain social distancing" showing four stylized human figures (two green, two light brown) arranged in a square. Arrows indicate the distance between all pairs of people: The distance between the two people at the top is labeled "6 feet." The distance between the two people on the left is labeled "6 feet." The distance between the two people on the right is labeled "6 feet." The distance between the two people at the bottom is labeled "6 feef" (a typo). The distances diagonally across the square are also labeled "6 feet." The bottom panel is an edited photograph showing three men, one of whom is angry and being restrained. The angry man in the center has had his head replaced with an image of Pythagoras, an ancient Greek mathematician. He is being held back by two other men, one of whom is Stephen Hawking (on the left) and Neil deGrasse Tyson (on the right). Tyson has a speech bubble that says, "Calm down, Pythagoras, calm down."

I'm always impressed by your skill, but the flourish at the end of this toss. I'm just... speachless. It was amazing! 👏

It's just a little lebensraum...
A screenshot from the TV show Arrested Development. Lucille Bluth, a middle-aged woman with dark hair, a colorful blouse, and a pearl necklace, is looking at the camera with a concerned and slightly confused expression. The top text reads, "IT'S JUST A LITTLE LEBENSRAUM, MICHAEL." The bottom text says, "HOW MANY LIVES COULD IT COST?" The text is a play on the iconic "How much could it cost? Ten dollars?" line from the show.

Here's a screenshot of a classic from the old place. Something peaceful and wholesome.

Here's wishing you well. 🫂
A six-panel meme from Star Trek: The Next Generation, featuring the characters Data and La Forge. Panel 1: A title card reads, "Star Trek: Data & La Forge." Panel 2: Data, a pale android with slicked-back hair, is shown in a close-up, stating "Knock knock..." Panel 3: La Forge, a man with a distinct visor over his eyes, looks perplexed and asks, "Who's there?" Panel 4: Data is shown again, with a neutral expression, saying "Hike." Panel 5: A two-shot of the two characters. La Forge, looking even more confused, asks, "Hike who?" while Data remains stone-faced. Panel 6: Data, in a close-up, recites the full nursery rhyme he was attempting to set up: "Warm midnight falling. Stars shining, dancing brightly. Peaceful all at once." The text "Executive Producer GENE RODDENBERRY" appears at the bottom of the panel, mimicking the end credits of the show.

This is probably the only way I can express myself right now without ending up on a list.
A stick-figure-like drawing of a tall, thin person wearing a hat and sunglasses, hunched over with a stick in their hand. The person says "C'mon, do something..." as it prods the text "Kennedy Curse."

Not @chess.com calling me out. 👀
I mean, they're not wrong.
Push notification from a mobile phone. On the left is an image of a green chess pawn. The message shows as coming from the app Chess on August 30, 2025. The message states: "We both know your screen time. Why not spend it playing chess?"

Funny, I was thinking of this image just earlier today.
A photo of actor Daniel Radcliffe holding two handguns, one in each hand, while on a wet city street. He is smiling mischievously and looking at the camera. He's dressed in a plaid bathrobe, a white T-shirt, and what appear to be oversized tiger-claw slippers. His white socks are pulled up to his calves, and his legs are bare. There is blood on his right hand and the cuffs of his shirt. In the background, a large building with a concrete or stone facade is visible, though it is slightly out of focus.

They don't seem to have a presence on Bluesky, but could someone let the folks at How to Geek know that recruitment ads for brownshirts are showing up on their site? I understand they don't pick the ads, but the service handling it does.
Screenshot of the website HowToGeek.com. In the middle of an article is a recruitment ad showing a person in a green cap and a green and black vest. Text of the ad reads, "Defend the homeland. Join ICE today. Paid for by DHS." Underneath the unrelated ad, the text of the article continues as follows. If you're after a productivity-first CPU, Intel Core Ultra 200 CPUs have never been more affordable and have been available in droves ever since they launched because AMD is the current king of the consumer CPU market.

My reaction when I'm reminded Kevin Sorbo exists.
Ferris Bueller, from the shoulders up in a bathrobe with wide, muted red and grey stripes. He's looking straight at you, yes, you, with a look on his face as if to suggest he's wondering why you're still here. The caption shows him saying, "You're still here?"

Holy crap! When the lawyer deposing you starts swearing, things have definitely gone sideways.
Portion of a transcript from a deposition. Along the left side are line numbers 17, 18, 19, 20. The text reads as follows: By Ms. Bolger. Q Isn't it the case that, in the United States of America, the First Amendment express a right to have opinions; and isn't that fucking fantastic?

One could could even make the argument that cats are critical to the survival of the republic. We must keep going while also finding energy in the small joys of life.

Close-up on the face of Major Kira Nerys from the show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Her character has the nose ridges of a Bajoran. Her eyes are somehow both gentle and piercing as she stares off-screen at Damar, a Cardassian. Damar just received news that his entire family had been killed even though they weren't involved in his uprising against Cardassia's occupiers. He wonders aloud "What kind of people give such orders?" Kira's own planet, Bajor, was occupied for 60 years by Cardassians, and she responds, "Yeah, Damar, what kind of people give those orders?"

Surely, you'll continue to treat her like the queen that she is.
Painting of Queen Elizabeth the First, against a black background and a black gown ornamented in gold and jewels. She has a stoic look on her face. Most importantly for this post, she wears a ruffled collar that looks almost twice as wide as her head. This surely must be a more traditional take on the cone that LuLu wears around her neck in the original photo.

Close-up of a woman's face. She wears a green headband with a simple, floral print. A curl of her brown hair hamgs down the sode of her face while most of it is bound up over over both ears, kind of like ear muffs; after all, this is Princess Leia's mother. She has a look in her eyes and her mouth that belies a disbelief at what she is hearing.

A bald figure, whose skin is all the same shade of blue, is seen from behind and to the right. The figure gazes up at a dark sky scattered with stars and appears wistful as they think, "I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives."

You should have the same confidence your ballot will be counted as you do that your taxes are considered "on time."
The Anakin Padme meme, with four panes. A man and a woman are sitting in a grassy, sunlit space. The first pane is a closeup on the man, who honestly looks like he could still be a boy. The braid of a padawan hangs down behind his right ear. Caption on the frame reads My tax return is "on time" so long as it's postmarked by April 15. Second frame is a closeup on the woman who has a huge, joyful smile, and her captioned reply reads Same for ballots on election day. Third pane is another closeup on the man-boy's face as with a stern expression, as if implying he doesn't agree with the comparison. He says nothing. Fourth pane returns to the closeup of the woman's face, now crestfallen, her smile turned to disappointment, maybe even dismay as she realizes this person does not share the same values. In fact, who knows what kind of evil he could be capable of? Perhaps he could even embrace the Dark Side and kill younglings. She says nothing with her words. It's all convyed in her eyes.

Comic with a top and bottom frame. Top frame, a young man speaks, caption reads: Sometimes I truly wonder when I’m expected to do the actual parts of my job when daily people book me for 6 hours of meetings. Bottom frame has a slightly older, more experience man with a mustache and gray hair, index finger pointed out back at the young man. Caption of his reply reads, That's the neat part. You don't.

In Hell, you say?
Funny, you say?
A single black and white cartoon frame of an underground tunnel with the far end of the tunnel in black darkness. Three men sweat and toil, laboring away. One is pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with what look like heavy rocks. His head is cocked as if he's starting to lose it or just extremely fatigued. But from his mouth are shown a few musical notes, indicating he's whistling. All around the laborers in the tunnel are tall flames. In the background, surrounded by some of the flames, are two figures in robes and horns, and one holds a pitchfork. The implication is that the two demons are overseeing the laborers toil in Hell. On demon says to the other, while looking at the whistling man, "You know, we're just not reaching thar guy." Note, the source of the comic is from the series "The Far Side," drawn by Gary Larson.

Dignified-looking man in black sunglasses and a black suit, you could say he's a man in black, standing against a black backdrop, looking slightly off left as he holds a big ass gun that takes two hands and is plenty thick around. He has a stern expression on his face as if he means business. Caption reads, "There is always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!"
