This is so true.
Post by antifaspiderman: there's two types of conspiracy theories in american culture: • blatant antisemitism • not actually a conspiracy theory the cia really admitted to doing this in declassified documents that are publicly available but the average american is so brainwashed by nationalist fervor that they refuse to believe it and call it a conspiracy even though, and i cannot stress this enough, the government literally admits to doing it

Meanwhile, in Chicago, ...
Comic panel from the 1950s. Two men in suits greet each other in front of a train platform. The one with his back turned, in the olive suit to us says, "Welcome to Chicago!" The other in the russet suit replies, "I have special orders from Moscow to take charge of Communists here and train them to overthrow democracy."

Before and after.
Luna the Central Asian Shepherd, relaxing in the back yard with a smile on her face. A very muddy dog, black oily mud covering her legs, tail, chin, and belly.

Great meme.
Scene from the film Airplane. In both panels, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is co-piloting the plane, and the captain has invited a young boy to visit the cockpit. In the first panel, the boy says "Jordan Peterson says Cultural Marxism is a chaotic force undermining civil society." In the second panel, Kareem replies, "Listen kid, I've been hearing about that crap since it was called Judeobolshevism".

Where's Billy Jack when you need him?
Still from the film Billy Jack. Tom McLaughlin (Billy Jack) is on horseback with a rife. Off-screen are a bunch of hoodlums about to massacre wild mustangs to sell the meat to dog food companies.

I love anagrams.
Tweet from Aaron Bird, Sir (@mightygodking) on X: Over on @Metafilter a user has pointed out that REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION is an anagram of CON VULNERABLE NATION INTO PANIC

Baby giraffe! You can blame it all on me! I was wrong, and I just can't live without you!
A pen with a mama and baby giraffe. The mama is in the background looking elegant and the baby has stuck her face in the camera, grinning sweetly, giving the picture a comical aspect of giant headed baby giraffe.

From the book "Stafford Beer: The Father of Management Cybernetics", by Vanilla Beer and Allenna Leonard.
A picture of a young man, in his bedroom, painting a picture on the wall of buildings in flames, collapsing and gushing smoke. The caption reads: As a boy he painted The Collapse of Capitalism on his bedroom wall

Here are two of the dragons.
Screenshot from the anime series Quality Assurance in Another World, showing the MC's sidekick staring at two dragons going by. The dragons look like 100 ft tall toads on meth, oblate spheroids with bulging eyes, walking on tiny flippers as they belch smoke.

Virgin Mary iconography that looks an awful lot like a vulva tells you what the devotee is actually worshiping.

Similarly, if your megachurch looks like a bunch of people worshiping their own egos, then that's what they're probably doing.
A concrete statue of the Virgin Mary in a garden. From behind, the statue looks an awful lot like a vulva.

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender in one image
Paperback copy of the Chinese Communist pamphlet from the Cultural Revolution era, "Serving the People with Dialectics". A younger Chinese man in a crop field looks at the crop yield with an older Chinese man, kneeling in the fields. The bottom of the page is a field of green with the book title in white letters.

Google Murray Bookchin.
Image from a 1970s fantasy paperback cover. An adventurer with a walking stick rests his right hand on a gigantic seated saber-tooth tiger the size of a Volkswagen Bus. Behind them, an enormous sun is setting, and in the foreground is the limb of a fruit tree. The caption reads: "Hello I'm Murray Bookchin. Thanks for googling me."

It's a Wee-a-boo kind of day.
Four panel comic. First panel: A man is addressing a board room by pointing to a graph on a chart, with the line going down. The man says: "If we wast any more time on 'weeaboo', we'll be bankrupt by the end of the month!" Second panel: one of the board members asks: "Did someone just say 'weeaboo'?" Third panel: a board member, clutching a paddle, his tie loosened, says "'cause I think I just heard someone say 'Weeaboo'." Fourth panel: the board members are now lined up to paddle the presenter, who stands with his pants at his ankles facing the wall. The board members chant in unison: "WEE-A-BOO! WEE-A-BOO!".

I love this little girl.
An adorable little girl in rainbow socks, pink sneakers, a blue tutu, an amazing hat, and bright sunglasses, hanging out on a steel barrier next to a riot cop in full gear holding an automatic weapon.

This poem is in the Reform Judaism siddur for the Mourner's Kaddish.
Epitaph - By Merrit Malloy When I die Give what’s left of me away To children And old men that wait to die. And if you need to cry, Cry for your brother Walking the street beside you. And when you need me, Put your arms Around anyone And give them What you need to give to me. I want to leave you something, Something better Than words Or sounds. Look for me In the people I’ve known Or loved, And if you cannot give me away, At least let me live on in your eyes And not your mind. You can love me most By letting Hands touch hands, By letting bodies touch bodies, And by letting go Of children That need to be free. Love doesn’t die, People do. So, when all that’s left of me Is love, Give me away.

1/ My nana, center, in the purple dress, with my grandpa, surrounded by her brothers and sisters, 1976. Funny to think that she's nine years older in the picture than I am now.

Hy, all the way to the left, was the last survivor. He lived to be 104. Lennie, bottom left, owned a jazz nightclub.
My father's parents, surrounded by my grandmother's brothers and sisters, and their spouses, in 1976. Five are standing behind a couch, four are seated on the couch, and two are kneeling in front of the couch.

From the Mishnah (Pirkei Avos), one of my favorite Jewish quotes.
Black-and-white graphic image of a wreath with a black background. Inside the wreath is written: Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly n͟o͟w͟. Love mercy n͟o͟w͟. Walk humbly n͟o͟w͟. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

One of my favorite 20th century poets.
Black-and-white photo of Muhammad Ali, Heavyweight Boxing World Champion, in a suit and tie, sitting on a couch in a variety show TV set, giving a quarter-scowl and staring quizzically at the camera. The caption reads: "Looking at life from a different perspective makes you realize that it's not the deer that is crossing the road, rather it's the road that is crossing the forest." —Muhammad Ali

This quote seems eerily apropos right now.
Quote from the novel Vineland, by Thomas Pynchon: "Someday, with the right man in the White House, there will be a Department of Jesus, yes and a Secretary of Jesus. Then again, that's the whole Reagan program, isn't it?—Dismantle the New Deal, reverse the effects of World War II, restore fascism at home and around the world, flee into the past, can't you feel it, all the dangerous childish stupidity—"I don't like the way it came out, I want it to be my way."

An AI-generated inspiration poster. A man is sitting on the ground, made up of different-sized concrete white tiles. The caption reads: "Diving head-first into an imaginary girlfriend might hurt you, unless you understand mathematics."

My dog after the event.
My dog posing on the grass next to a large pile of shedded fur the size of her. She's on her spine, all four legs splayed, her head tilted with her mouth open in a big grin.

My dog got a good, thorough brushing in the back yard. There's more shedded fur than dog there.

Note the t-shirt.
Your obedient servant, in the back yard, standing with my big fluffy dog, and a pile of her hair the size of her. I'm holding a shedding tool called a Furminator, and wearing a t-shirt that reads "I ❤️ Commutative Algebra".
