This sh-t is bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s

A film still from Fatal Attraction (1987) showing actress Glen Close who has curly blonde hair & is wearing a cream cardigan over a white lace top, standing in a dimly lit kitchen next to a white refrigerator, with an intense expression. Subtitles at the bottom read: “No. It’s going to go on, until you face your responsibilities.”
Headline from The Washington post reads: why you may not want lower prices as much as you think you do
Two stylish individuals walk along a sunlit city sidewalk, their long shadows stretching ahead. One wears a brown shearling coat with a fur collar, while the other wears a snakeskin-patterned trench coat with a matching furry hat. The background features a busy street with pedestrians and tall buildings.
Alt text: A concrete sidewalk with black graffiti-style writing that reads “LOVE YOURSELF.” Part of the text is faded or distorted due to a damaged section of the pavement. A red streak runs diagonally across the ground, and a metal drain cover is visible on the right. A person’s foot is partially visible in the top left corner near the road with double white lines.
A woman wearing a yellow hat and dark jacket stands in front of a large stone building with the address “1300” above the entrance. He holds a sign that reads, “THANK YOU ❤️ USAID WORKS” in blue and red letters. Several people are gathered around, some holding similar signs. The pavement is wet, suggesting recent rain, and the individuals in the scene are wearing jackets and backpacks. Posters on the building display the words “Where Events Matter.”
A white cardboard box with a handwritten message in black and red marker. The message reads: “FROM BOGOTA to Iraq - Haiti to Cyprus, India to Côte d’Ivoire = USAID has never failed the American PEOPLE! USAID Thank you.” The words “USAID” and “Thank you” are emphasized in red ink. The box is stacked among other similar boxes, and the setting appears to be outdoors on a paved surface. A small portion of a printed photograph is visible on the ground near the box.
A protest sign reading “USAID: Saves lives, Buys American, Keeps US Safe” with checkmarks next to each statement is attached to a metal barricade in front of a government building. The word “USAID” is written in bold blue and red letters. Below the sign, a bouquet of flowers, including sunflowers and other colorful blooms, lies on the ground, partially wrapped in plastic. The setting appears to be a public space with a paved walkway.
