contemplating my profile pic for my UK uni alumni network and really tempted to go for this. will I? nah. but I like knowing it's an option.
a poorly cropped screenshot of a picture from the neck down of a shirtless, muscular, pale man in a mirror with the text "if the british empire has a million haters, I'm one of them. if the british empire has 5 haters I'm one of them. If the british empire has 1 hater that one is me. If the british empire has no haters I'm no longer alive. If the world is against the british empire I support the entire world. Till my last breath, I'll hate the british empire."

Getting my life advice from a truck that sounds like it might be having a bit of a crisis itself.
The rear of a blue truck on a rainy road viewed through a dashboard. The truck is labeled with "Main Freight, special people, special company, air and ocean, warehousing, transport." Above it is the slogan "Be brave or pretend to be brave."

The bitch is back!

Bonus, I got to learn the French word for wasps because the attic is full of them.

If we are not supposed to let children use the finger sliding machine, then why is it at child finger slicing height?
A grey machine with two warning stickers, one of fingers getting cut off, the second of a child sticking their hand into the machine.

Hold onto your butts, Europe, I am moving back but this time I have an eagle denim jacket.
A person in black pants and a denim jacket faces away from the camera. Beside her is a giant dog on one side, with her hand resting on his big skull. On the other side is a big cardboard box. The denim jacket's back panel features a rainbow of satin ribbons and an applique bald eagle with a traditional Metis floral pattern stretched over its chest and wings.

You may be a meathead who loves the trans people in your life, Family, escalating chaos, Vin Diesel's whole deal, and any franchise with Michelle Rodriguez, but are you the kind of meathead who gives out @tuck.bsky.social's incredible collection, 2 Trans 2 Furious? You could be! And you should be!
The cover of 2 Trans 2 Furious, reminiscent of the Animorphs books, with Dominic Toretto, who lives his life a quarter mile at a time, turning into a black coupe over 5 stages.

Last saved pic as moral philosophy

Honestly happy this is what I found
A picture of three children facing a pink sky and a giant yellow orb, with the words "It's a beautiful day to yell at God" The children are yelling "what the fuck!?" "Come out! We just wanna talk" and "Face us you coward"

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell hole it is

My daughter figured out how to reach the mixing bowl while I made brownies. Crime child.

Free DC, now and forever
Over the Turkish flag with text about the ways WhatsApp gets weird in Arabic.(I don't speak Arabic, sorry, can't translate it well), Peter from Family Guy has a panda emoji superimposed on his face. He has a scrawled Nats logo on his shirt. He has a speech bubble: "I will die for my country the District of Columbia" with a little cherry blossom next to it,

DC residents watching the crap new War of the Worlds movie need to know if Masala Story and Bluebird Sky Yoga make it out of the movie ok.

The most accurate part of the movie is the fire department showing up at an exploding house immediately, because it's located 4 blocks from the fire station

Yet another fun quiz where if you don't eat shellfish or crustaceans, half the stuff is out. Not reaching for pork throws even more off. God help you if you're vegetarian...
A chart with five sections: lower class, middle class and upper middle class are the most filled in. The text reads "Food Choice Test: your food choices resemble those of the middle class (78.57%)"

TFW science is dismissed as muddled masculine thinking but also the future is full of ladies

For all my buds out there
A dude on a truck in a gasmask, perched next to a large calibre gun, drives through a ruined townscape. They say "hey friend listen, I know the world is scary right now but" Then we zoom into their eyes over the gasmask. The text has been modified to read "the future is unknowable and will be determined by how hard we fight now for a loving world"

I learned to be angry about doors and sinks, but also to think about how much our interactions in the world are shaped by little choices made early in a design. This book made me passionate about system design. It's the best thing I have read related to public policy, despite not being about policy.
The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman. The book cover is yellow with black text. It features a red teapot with a spout and handle on the same side, rendering it useless for pouring.

Zuck: the average American has 3 friends
Me:
A cover image from Tintin, featuring Tintin, the Captain, Snowy the dog, and some other guy in a jacket, all on a raft made out of barrels on a rough sea. The captain has removed his shirt to make a flag for signaling. They look like they're having a bad day.
