Classic FAFO meme. Anime cartoon, two people sprinting along a road. The front runner is labelled "Fucking Around", the pursuer is labelled "Finding Out". A commentator is talking to a cameraman close behind. "As you can see, the gap is narrowing..."

When I saw that. Got Deja vu.
National Library of New Zealand in Wellington:
Photograph of the National Library of New Zealand, in Wellington. Brutalist architecture strikingly similar to that of the Boston City Hall.

If you see this post a bird
Ok it's not a native, but I couldn't resist. A one-legged Californian Quail, perched on a gate, with the northern edge of Kāpiti island in the background.

Scene from "Shallow Grave". The three main protagonists (Kerry Fox, Christopher Ecclestone, Ewan MacGregor) stare at the camera in a rather disturbing manner. Go watch it, it's brilliant!

Rover! Nooooooo.
Scene from the '60s TV series 'The Prisoner', the lead protagonist is in the fore of the scene, being followed by Rover - a very large white spherical ball.

Someone without a heart talks about a heart.
It literally is the guns, Mike.
PIcture of the mouth of Sauron. from the Lord of the Rings film. I can't help but see this everytime I hear about Speaker Johnson. This is literally all he is. All mouth and no heart (or spine, or brain).

There's a t-shirt for him....
Halloween Costume meme - this time it has a t-shirt for 'Conservative Guy Scared of Cities'. Subheadings are: 'Saw that thing on the news', 'Too many of "Those" people there', 'Can't park Ford Super Duty', and 'Not scared ,bro'. Adult Size costume, One size fits most'. Image is of a pasty white dude with a close cropped beard, vacant stare, and a beige t-shirt with some stupid logo on it, oh and what appears to be an american flag on the sleeve. Go figure.

I couldn't help but 'see' an angry Piwakawaka in there.
Photograph of the Piwakawaka, also know as the fantail. A native to Aotearoa/New Zealand, it uses it's tail feathers to startle insects into flight, where it will chase and catch them. It is also perpetually very very angry.

Sorry, but it was unfortunately introduced to Britain in the 90s.
A row of deodorant cans, with the name 'Lynx'. Each can is a different 'fragrance'. It definitely lived up to it's street name 'Stynx'.

Two photos of the same small grey kitten. The left photo shows the kitten looking off to the side. Presumably the tweet below on a screen. The text says 'OH NO'. The right photo shows the kitten looking to the camera, no real change in expression. The text says 'ANYWAY'.

Scene from British Comedy series 'Blackadder III' - 'Ink and incapability'. The main protagonist (Blackadder, played by Rowan Atkinson) is pronouncing gibberish words, while the gentleman on the left (Dr Samuel Johnson, played by Robbie Coltraine) is writing those words into his newly created dictionary.

I laughed way too much more than I should have.
A cartoon with four panels. The first panel consists of a humanoid being sitting with arms around the knees. Text is "I hate myself". Second panel shows another humanoid being approaching the first, with a smile and offering a hand up. Third panel shows that second being directing the first being to a kiosk style computer. The logo for 'Sharepoint' is on the screen. Final panel shows that first humanoid being sitting with a keyboard and mouse, and smiling. Text is "Wow! I hate this more"

I thought the Bluesky Louvre was a splinter group.
Scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian". Brian asks a group of locals "Are you the Judean People's Front?", one of the locals (Played by John Cleese) scoffs. "Judean People's Front, ha! We're the People's Front of Judea!"
