Here for the post-apocalypse and the post apocalypse. Autistic He/Him

Screenshot of coverage of Andy Burnham’s statements on Welfare, reading: One of the biggest rows between Labour backbench MPs and Sir Keir concerned his attempts to cut the welfare bill. Burnham has previously said he wouldn't be "squeamish" about reducing the bill and his speech promised to find cuts in a "way that is fair and lasting", adding: "Where young people need mental health support, that will be provided as part of in-work support."
Viral tweet from @shaunvids.bsky.social. “Brigaded by the vile trolls again, simply for deliberately provoking them with lies and insults.”

Post from an account called “Digital Brain” stating: “NASA Perseverance rover captures what a Martian night really looks like from the ground.” The accompanying video as an utterly absurd number of stars densely packed together filling the entire sky.
Screenshot of a post from “Politics UK” (which is run by a member of Reform) quoting Andy Burnham on Question Time. Full text: Andy Burnham says he would “look at” removing the exemption that allows Sikhs to carry ceremonial knives in light of Henry Nowak’s murder.

Gif from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Hush” featuring one of the villains of that episode (the demons known as The Gentlemen) giving a deeply disturbing smile, precisely like the creepy smile of Tony Blair in the quoted post.
Parker Molloy posting the “Why can’t you just be normal?” Meme, originally clipped from The Babadook in which the mother screams “Why can’t you just be normal?” at her clearly autistic son while he is experiencing an episode. The son is pictured in the second panel of the meme, which is captioned *Screams*. The meme is often used to criticise public figures for odd or unacceptable behaviour - effectively equating that behaviour with autism and neurodivergence in general.
[content warning: homophobia] Screenshot of Elon Musk’s Twitter feed and a post several tweets into him complaining about the finale of The Boys - in which a character that was a clear parody of him was portrayed as corrupt, racist and oblivious before being almost immediately killed. The post reads “I’m not upset, just remarking that the ending sounds fake and gay”.

Dril tweet: The wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: “There’s actually zero difference between good and bad things. You imbecile. You fucking moron.”
Photo of a rock blocking a snowy road. Internet-famous for originally being captioned “A large boulder the size of a small boulder”.
Post from elsewhere in this thread where Jilly said “But apparently [I am] more intelligent than the 20 plus people who have now run away from the debate.” I corrected the spelling mistake made by the definitely-real journalist who doesn’t know how to use commas or apostrophes.

Screenshot showing “Kev” (splootman dot b-sky dot social) blocking me after I challenged him to defend Starmer’s record rather than make the same 2 arguments about his huge majority and opinion polls not counting.

Clip from Arrested Development featuring a group of magicians in various absurd magician outfits all trying very hard to look serious. Gob Bluth (played by Will Arnet) is at the front holding a sign reading “We Demand to be Taken Seriously”.
Clip from Eddie (Suzy) Izzard’s stand up show “Dress to Kill”. “You say ‘erbs and we say herbs - because there’s a fucking H in it.”
News headline: "Keir Stamer sorry for having believed Mandelson's lies about his relationship with Epstein"
Quote from John Lithgow from the article: "Of course, it upsets me when people are vehemently opposed to my having anything to do with this. But if you read through the Harry Potter canon, you see absolutely no trace of transphobic sensibility. She has written this great meditation on kindness and empathy and acceptance, which is why it's so strange to me."

Lots of people complain about the anti-climactic ending, but really i don't think it could any other way. Id like to imagine that theres some alternate universe where Rowling actually believed in something and Harry was actually built up as the anti-Voldemort he was only hinted as being in the beginning of the books. Where he's opposes all the many injustices of the wizarding world and determines to change their frequently backwards, insular, contradictory society for the better, and forms his own faction antithetical to the Death Eaters and when he finally has his showdown with Voldy, Harry surpasses by adopting new methods, breaking the rules and embracing change and the progression of history. While Voldemort clings to an idyllic imaging of the past and the greatest extent of his dreams is to become the self-appointed god of a eternally stagnant Neverland, Harry has embraced the possibility of a shining future and so can overcome the self-imposed limits Voldemort could never cross, and Voldemort is ultimately defeated by this.
Clip from Suzy Izzard’s “Dress to Kill” standup show: (running stage-right) “I’m gonna kill ‘em! I’m gonna kill ‘em!” (abruptly turns around) “Oh! It’s a bit cold! It’s a bit cold!” The original sketch is referencing Napoleon’s failed plan to conquer Russia.
Screenshot of Saruman (played by Christopher Lee) from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
Star Wars meme from the scene in Rise of Skywalker where Po Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) announces “somehow Palpatine survived”. Except the subtitles say “somehow potato survived”.
The original quoted poster replying to Jenny “Are you suggesting I’m saying Trump and his people are smart?” Jenny replies “no, I’m disputing your claim with the fact that he’s dumb” Clearly admitting the was used *as* a slur to insult intelligence.
Screenshot of “Jenny Tightpants” (@ jtp.bsky.social) posting an image with the text “guys I don’t think it was 4D chess and he was just [r-slur] the whole time”. The slur in the text has been censored (by me).
Excerpt from the linked article reading “The red dots are young black holes, [scientists] say. They are some of the smallest ever found - though they still have the mass of 10 million of our suns.”
White background with grey text reading: “One key difference between 1930s Germany and 2020s USA is that 1930s Germany didn’t have 90 years of books, movies and documentaries warning it about 1930s Germany.”
Zoomed in section of the obvious AI-slop image where the AI got confused and named the soldier “Eminem” on his uniform too.
Screenshot of user Matt Massarella-Gill (@3788mg) posting the r-word. The screenshot (of the offending post on his profile page) also shows that I share 4 mutuals with this unrepentant ableist. Their identities and the slur have been occluded.
Screenshot from CNN in which anchor Jake Tapper is interviewing that monster man from the X-Files episode where he could squeeze his whole body through tiny cracks to murder people and eat them or something. Tooms - that’s the one! Or possibly it’s Stephen Miller. Hard to tell. At the bottom of the screen, a Breaking News banner reads “Trump suggests U.S. could intervene in Greenland”.
Picture of Ray Charles at a piano in the exact same pose as the possum.

Rotated, zoomed-in screenshot of the object in question. In its normal angle, it looks like the left hand is holding some sort of tool against the larger object in the figure’s right hand. When rotated it becomes clearer that both hands are holding the sleeves of a shirt of some kind.
Screenshot of a reply from the account “Saddletramp” responding to the implication he has never experienced life as a disabled person with “And what makes you think I haven’t?”
GIF of gameplay from Alundra on the PS1 - a top-down RPG, like Sony’s answer to Zelda. In the GIF the titular character, makes a series of timed jumps across floating logs to reach a treasure chest.
Chart titled “Every Graph About the UK” with two lines - a green line labelled “good thing” that starts high and remains so until it plunges downwards half-way through the chart; and a red line labelled “bad thing” that starts low and follows the opposite trajectory as the green. My the end of the chart, the green line is lower than the red’s starting point; and the red line is higher than the green’s. Where the lines suddenly start trending down/up respectively is a vertical dashed line labelled “Margaret Thatcher”. (The x-axis is also labelled “Some metric”, but this is wrong since the metric is clearly measured on the y-axis. The x-axis should just be labelled “time”. Shrug emoji.) (Also, the quoted post — which has no alt text; eye roll emoji — shows the same graph with “US” instead of “UK” and “Ronald Reagan” instead of “Margaret Thatcher”.)
Image of Ardal O’Hanlan, clipped from the same article, with a facial expression best captioned “Can you believe this prick?”
Excerpt from the BBC’s Westminster Hour interview with Neil Kinnock (as reported by the New Statesman), reading: Keir Starmer’s week begins with a stern warning from Neil Kinnock, former Labour leader, that he needs to turn things around within months. Speaking to the BBC’s Westminster Hour, Kinnock called for Starmer to “demonstrate that he is authentically very Labour, with a set of principles that are practical in their application and a determination to put them into full effect.” He said “he’s got to act quickly in order to establish clearly a direction and purpose now.”
Reply from “Carl Lee” drcarllee.bsky.social to the first post in this thread reading: “I broadly agree with your description of Linehan but you really should set out the nature of the corruption you accuse the Met & the PM of. In fact youy (sic) should take it to your police force and ask them to investigate your evidence. You have got evidence I trust?”
Excerpt from a report by the Royal College of General Practitioners, published on the 8th of September 2025, reading: “In January 2018, there were 7,254 open active [GP surgeries]. As of July 2025, this figure has dropped to 6,229.”

Screenshot of Tom Jones taken from the music video of his 1999 single “Sex Bomb” (in collaboration with Mousse T) whose lyrics are parodied in the post.
Cutting from the article with the highlighted ableist phrase “Autism rates have grown … and Trump is waiting for a solution”. The article is not quoting someone here. This is how Politico chose to frame autism - quite literally borrowing the language of Nazi eugenics.
