Me in line for the Tokyo National Museum
A simple clay figurine on display in a museum. He has a churlish grin, smiling eyes and both hands pressed to his tummy as if he's rubbing it. Other clay items are visible in the background.

A meme starring Bianca Del Rio and Trinity K Bonet. Bianca (labelled as "everyone") asks "What do you do successfully? Quickly." Trinity (labelled as "LLMs") looks confused.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

I love butcherbirds, they're always so attentive to what's going on. ♥️

This year, treat yourself to a puck of devon. You've earned it.
Two pale hands hold a hockey-puck sized chunk of devon (aka low quality pink lunchmeat) over a white stone bench. The devon chunk has a bite taken out of it. (Jam jars are visible in the background - this is unrelated. Don't be getting notions now.)

Is there any way to reverse this trend? I know I'm just the old man yelling at clouds but I hate it so much.

To clarify:
"How it looks" ✅☺️
"What it looks like" ✅☺️
"How it looks like" ❌👺🙅
A google ngrams graph showing prevalence of the phrase "how it looks like over time" from 1950 to 2022. The line stays low until 2015, when it rises dramatically and has not yet levelled off.
