These boxes are in the sky above a scene from the movie of someone on a horse and a bunch of people pulling something out of the water in the background.

A car’s rear view mirror. Two dice, black with red flames, dangle from it. Above it are several pin buttons in the ceiling of the car: One has hand drawn heart;. One is a baby’s face close up; one is blue and says magic, there is something else on it but I can’t make out what it is; the last one is angled in a way that the image is not visible. There is also an earring of a crocheted (maybe?) heart.

The title is written in a large script font while the rest is written a standard serif font. All the text has a soft outline or drop shadow directly behind it creating an outline.

Roxane Gay• @roxanegay.bsky.social • 11h The last season of Euphoria was an incoherent, miserable slog. The cast must be relieved that it's over. In the end it was nihilistic pseudo-Christian propaganda. Ridiculous. Sean T. Collins @seantcollins.com • 1m People will post anything on here. "Euphoria Season 3 was MAGA propaganda." No it wasn't. That isn't true. Sean T. Collins @seantcollins.com • 31s Not everything you dislike is fascist.
Instagram Story as for “drag and drop customizable overlays to showcase your work” showing a before and after image of a photo of two people seen through a car window. The “after” photo has the photo framed by the information that would be included on the monitor if a cinema camera such as framerate, ISO, shutter angle, and white balance.

Mackenzie King's own hatred of the left made him receptive to Hitler's position, and King specifically noted Hitler's disapproval of the fact that leftists from England had joined the International Brigades in Spain. It was surely no coincidence that King very quickly, upon his return to Canada, moved to make it a criminal offence to fight with the Spanish Republic. After Hitler gave King a parting gift — an autographed picture - King "wished him well in his efforts to help mankind!" 103 King's diary entries on his meeting with Hitler are shocking to a modern audience. Posterity might have been more forgiving to King had he expressed something like grudging respect or cautious optimism, but King was star-struck. Some parts of the diaries are worth quoting at length: “I then thanked him again for having given me the privilege of so long an interview. He smiled very pleasantly and indeed had a sort of appealing and affectionate look in his eyes. My sizing up of the man as I sat and talked with him was that he is really one who truly loves his fellow-men, and his country, and would make any sacrifice for their good. That he feels himself to be a deliverer of his people from tyranny. To understand Hitler, one has to remember his limited opportunities in his early life, his imprisonment, etc. It is truly marvelous what he has attained unto himself through his self education... His face is much more prepossessing than his pictures would give the impression of. It is not that of a fiery, over-strained nature, but of a calm, passive man, deeply and thoughtfully in earnest. His skin was smooth; his face did not present lines of fatigue or weariness; his eyes impressed me most of all. There was a liquid quality about them which indicate keen perception and profound sympathy... He has a very nice, sweet [sic] and, one could see, how particularly humble folk would come to have a profound love for the man...”
Ad on my tv for Amazon Prime Original Series “Off Campus” featuring a hockey player who appears to be in full gear except for helmet and gloves holding a woman up off the ground gripped just below her butt in a romantic embrace in an empty hockey rink.
