I got kicked out of Ravenna. Had to move to the lagoon and build a more equitable society.

Based on a previous meme template, a badly drawn figure is at a badly drawn computer. The figure says to the computer "put on a black hoodie and say i'm in". The computer responds "I'M IN". The figure says "oh my god".
Count Binface. Of note is that the "visor" of his helmet lights up, while his "mouth" is at human eye level.
The Distracted Girlfriend meme. The guy being ogled has his head replaced with a golden egg, and the other, we could say "unvalued", guy has been mostly replaced by a goose.
A miniature dachshund puppy lying on his back on someone's lap. His tummy is facing away from the camera but he's looking back at the camera over his shoulder in a way that could read as "flirtatious" in humans.
A miniature dachshund puppy. He's looking at the camera. He's also licking his nose because there's peanut butter on it.
A miniature dachshund puppy. He's lying on his back on a bed, which has led to his ears flopping outwards which along with a somewhat wide-eyed expression and some visible teeth make him look very gremlin-y. He's also getting tummy skritches.
A miniature dachshund puppy. He's looking off to the side and seems completely calm.

The three Spider-Mans pointing at each other meme. A title at the bottom reads "The Debate Over Which Masthead Let The Fascism In". The Spider-Mans are labelled "New York Times", "The Atlantic", and "Washington Post".
Screenshot of a post from a Mastodon instance. The post reads "Finally installed one of the gifts I gave my wife for Christmas: the most musician-coded key storage solution." The attached image shows a panel mounted to a wall with four 1/4" audio jack sockets. In three of the sockets are keyrings that attached to 1/4" audio jacks so they can be stored by inserting the jack into the socket.
A doorway in a very bland looking wall. It has a sign above it that reads “Online area”.
Screen shot of an article thumbnail from The Guardian. The headline reads: Portishead's Geoff Barrow: "I can't think of any worse music to make love to than ours" The aforementioned Mr. Barrow is pictured, frowning and glaring directly at the camera.
A store front. Part of the sign with the business name has fallen off, exposing an older sign beneath. The text from both signs has lined up perfectly so as to create a whole new business name, only spoiled by the colours of the signs being completely different.
tone abet hold hands THIS FAR look very keen

A graphic announcing that my talk "Skill Issue" will be at PyCon AU 2025.
Tim Wilson, back to being the Member for Goldstein, standing in front of a crowd of supporters looking... well he'd probably say "determined" but I'd say "miffed". Captions have been placed over the image. Top left we have "IS IT ME?" and then along the bottom we have "NO, IT"S THE PARTY ROOM THAT IS WRONG".

A screenshot of the Australian National Broadband Network network outage page. It is telling me there's an unscheduled outage in my area, and also that the NBN in observing the caretaker conventions relating to the upcoming Federal election. These facts are highlighted and a message has been written across the screenshot saying "COINCIDENCE????????".
A cake designed to look like an axolotl from Minecraft.

A yellow axolotl.
A social media post from "SargeDebian" that reads: In the Netherlands, our local version of the Onion (De Speld) has sent a subpoena to the minister of Asylum and Immigration, explaining that in summary her idiotic behavior is making it difficult for readers to distinguish satire and factual reporting, and this means the government is in unlawful competition with a private enterprise.
A TV showing Kendrick Lamar’s half-time performance at the Super Bowl, as broadcast in Australia on Channel 7. There is a closed caption on the screen that simply says “(RAPPING)”. Hope you didn’t care about the lyrics of a Kendrick show or anything.
A strip from the comic Bob the Angry Flower. The first panel is a title: "Bob the Angry Flower's Classic Literature Sequels, ATLAS SHRUGGED 2: One Hour Later". The next panel shows Bob, the titular Angry Flower (drawn as a daisy-esque flower with a face in the middle, and then arms coming from the stalk) looking sternly at a burning city. He is saying "At last! We, the Creators, the Entrepreneurs, the TITANS who make the world work, have GIVEN UP on the compromised, bureaucratic society that held all of us back!!! And LOOK! It's on FIRE now! That'll teach 'em to submit to GOVERNMENT COERCION!!!" In the next panel, Bob is looking happy and says "Man, being proved right makes me hungry! What's for lunch?". A well-dressed, feminine figure in the background replies "Lunch?". Next panel, a series of well-dressed people say "Don't servants create lunch?" "I only know how to pay people to create new alloys!" "I CERTAINLY can't cook!". Next panel, a frantic looking Bob says "Waitaminit - NOBODY remembered to bring an inexhaustible labor force of ROBOTS???". The figures in the background reply "um." "er." "ep." In the next two panels Bob grabs one of the others and says "What's the plan NOW, GENIUS??" then, looking desperate, says "We're all gonna have to TILL the SOIL!!!" In the last panel, labelled "Hard months later...", Bob is sweating in a field hoeing the ground thinking to himself "This sucks".
