Choose your fighter.
Donald J. Trump contemplating whether an Executive Order could stop people from fainting in his presence. The bust of a dead white asshole peers over his right shoulder. Howard Lutnick trying very hard not to lose a game of "he who smelt it, dealt it." A passed-out pharma exec whose soul is actively trying to leave his body.

Our oldest is writing a bande dessinée (comic/graphic novel for you anglos) about the origin of his super hero, and the cover art is...somewhat suggestive.
A child's drawing covering a full 8.5 x 11 page. The drawing is in black ink, and features two surprisingly phallic shapes "spurting" into each other. In the centre where they meet, body parts are coagulating from the unholy mixture.

Somewhere in the multiverse, another Brian Thompson wakes up in a cold sweat, having been visited that night by 3 spirits.
An image of Michael Caine as Scrooge from the Muppet Christmas Carol. He is on his knees, hands clasped in front of him with a look of relief and repentance on his face. Below the image are the words "I will live my life in the past, the present, and the future! Heaven and the Christmas time be praised for this day!"

Out here representing my people in the current discourse.

That's better.
A screen-cap of the quoted tweet, edited to say, "a cruise...is crazy." Because cruises are awful and environmentally unjustifiable.

You will never convince me that this is Spiderman pasta and not Strongbad pasta.
A cooked piece of pasta on a wooden kitchen spoon. The pasta is meant to resemble Marvel superhero Spiderman, but to this poster's eye looks more like the internet's favourite luchador-masked miscreant Strongbad from early 2000's internet sensation Homestar Runner.

As some Canadian companies explore offering staff a four-day work week, experts are watching Greece's move closely and suggest it could work here. "Potentially, it's a good idea," said Mark Colgate, an associate dean with the University of Victoria's Gustavson School of Business. It's a system already in place at some businesses, but could this scheduling option be widespread in Canada? The short answer from Colgate is not anytime soon. "But we are going to have to come up with creative solutions, and this is Greece’s creative solution. Even though some people are pushing back, if they don’t do this, they are going to become less and less competitive as a nation and that’s exactly the issue we’re faced with in Canada right now too." Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem recently echoed Colgate's concern. "Our Achilles heel is productivity. We have been very good at growing our economy by adding workers. We have been much less successful at increasing output per worker," Macklem said last month. "Our message is: if you want more non-inflationary growth, we're going to need a concerted discussion between businesses, governments and academics, civil society on how are we going to get productivity growth up in Canada."

Extremely cursed garbage can from this morning's walk.
A doll in a garbage can. The doll is wearing a black and pink dress and has long brown hair. The doll is looking at the camera, but one of its arms is covering the right eye.

Park bench philosophy.
A park bench where someone has written "What are you scared of if not your stagnant state of mind?" Someone else has crossed out "Mind" and replaced it with "Being". Another person has written "Who said I'm stagnant or afraid?" beneath.
