An incel overreacts to a Pizzacake cartoon depicting Ross Douthat first harassing a female co-worker, getting rebuffed, then writing a thinkpiece about how women "ruined" the workplace. The incel's response, in full: "Maybe men like this give rude compliments out of spite, since they never receive any nice compliments from women in their entire lives? Maybe should try throwing him a compliment and them BAM he might respect you as a human. Worth a shot at least. This guy wasn't always like this. He was conditioned, by cruelty."
Angry looking, unhinged man with his face blocked out. His Tinder profile reads: "I don't pick flattering photos, I'm a fuckin man. Over 6 feet; masculine; handsome; fit; open-minded; chivalrous (2023 version at least). Wtf more do you god damn women want? You're gonna make me homo if you keep this shit up. I do not want to text endlessly and I will not explain my life to someone I haven't met. If you are down to get a drink or do something fun - or both - DON'T wast my time matching me. And get off Tinder; you're completely fucked up on its CLEAR and WELL DEFINED purpose."

"Canada Post's own studies concluded that offering banking services through the post office (as is the norm in most developed countries) would reduce Canadians' banking fees, increase access, fund postal delivery and keep Canada Post easily sustainable, a clear win-win for Canadians. The report was buried, services are being cut, and Canada Post is being gutted instead." Image is of a combination Canada Post mailbox and an ATM.

Cartoon of Emma Peel (from The Avengers) with the caption: "You ever notice how folks that hate BlueSky uniformly call it an echo chamber? They don't disagree or debate each other on this assertion. They'll actually repeat it verbatim. They'll share op-eds that also present this claim with each other. They'll keep reiterating the idea in their respective threats. This is because they are NOT IN AN ECHO CHAMBER. Furthermore, their accusations are neither them coping through projection nor seething via condescension. It is YOU whom they deem the coping seether because YOU are in an echo chamber. They CAN tell by all your posts they CAN'T read due to block lists they end up on. And if there's one thing they know, it's what they don't know."
