Three frame meme from Arrested Development with Lindsey and Tobias talking. In frame 1, Lindsay says: “Well, did it work for those people?” Tobias replies in frame 2: “No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but..” In frame 3, Tobias continues: “but it might work for us.”

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.
Album cover for The Offspring’s “Smash” Image is of a yellow and black x-ray of a head/skull and upper torso. White text in caps at top says “Offspring” Red text in caps at bottom says “Smash”

Separately wanted to point out one small typo:

Trump take egg

Long Beach, CA
Mostly empty grocery store shelves with one lone dozen of eggs (containing broken bits). Each sticker where containers of dozens of eggs stood denotes prices of $8 to $12 per dozen.

last meme is your political ideology
A picture of a white man with a mustache, crying, next to the text: “Bro please come to this new fancy burger spot with me. They shove a knife through the middle of the burger and serve it on a piece of driftwood. All the servers have beards and tattoos and it's awesome bro. They stack the burgers so high with so many ingredients it immediately falls apart and the urinal is made out of a keg shell, please bro.”

“I made a hate-filled post and now people are being mean to me” 😱
Naomi Cunningham: So this site turns out not to be as civil as all that, if you express a forbidden opinion. But on the up-side, it's impressive how many people here can curse in Richard Adams' rabbit language.” Naomi Cunningham: “Oh dear. The replies suggest that the niceness of Blusesky may be skin- deep, and conditional on compliance.” Then a skeet hidden for “Intolerance” “Labeled by Bluesky Moderation Service. Learn more.” Naomi Cunningham: “the replies, and also the "intolerance" label applied by moderators. I'm reminded of Strawberry's warren in Watership Down.

Google Maps search from my place in Long Beach only shows places from across the country in the autocomplete, but if I open up the map to re-search the greater Los Angeles area there are more than I thought.

I know live closed captioning is hard, especially in musical performances, but I think context clues might help point to which “global language” RIM’K was rapping in
#olympics #openingceremony #paris2024 #rimk
French rapper RIM’K performing a song while standing on a blue and white tiled deck near the Seine river in Paris, wearing black sunglasses, dark pants and a red jacket with large black squares. Closed captioning reads: “[ SINGING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ]”

One of the defendants, Jeremy White, said through his lawyer that he plans to appeal "I was asked to write a conciliatory statement about the so-called victims in this trial," White said in a statement. "Neo-Nazis, white supremacists and far right fascists who assembled here on that day to do violence upon your community. "I stood with other brave individuals in an effort to protect you from this blight on our society, and I apologize for nothing. One day they will come for you as well, as they have come for so many others"

“What did you say??”
Excerpt from Ted Chiang’s “Stories of Your Life.” Text reads: “In 1770, Captain Cook's ship Endeavour ran aground on the coast of Oueensland, Australia. While some of his men made repairs, Cook led an exploration party and met the aboriginal people. One of the sailors pointed to the animals that hopped around with their young riding in pouches, and asked an aborigine what they were called. The aborigine replied, "Kanguru." From then on Cook and his sailors "Kanguru. referred to the animals by this word. It wasn't until later that they learned it meant "What did you say?" I tell that story in my introductory course every year. It's almost certainly untrue, and I explain that afterwards, but it's a classic anec- dote…

Three almost identical and very spammy posts at the top of the Discover tab promising “open followback” with requirements to: follow, repost and like, and then reply.
