Skeletor disturbing facts meme. Top panel depicts Skeletor lounging on the floor, probably in his lair at Snake Mountain, and reads, "Monte could have shown you either door, He-Man." Bottom panel shows Skeletor running away down a corridor and reads, "He *chose* to show you the one with a goat." There is an implied backstory in which He-Man was a contestant on Let's Make a Deal, had the opportunity to switch doors, *didn't* switch doors, and won a goat. Skeletor is now tormenting He-Man by providing intuition for how Monte's choice provided information about which door the car was behind. Man I love Skeletor, so much. What a fantastic character.
Cap'n Crunch Oops All (blank) meme, but for Monte Hall and Goats. Monte's face is where the Cap'n's should be, and the cereal box reads "Monte Hall's Oops! All GOATS". Contrary to the claim on the packaging, the cereal bowl depicted contains a mix of delicious crunch berries and two goats.
Randee of the Redwoods, an MTV character from the early 90's, posing against a blue backdrop. He's wearing yellow Chucks, blue pants with white stars, a pink, white, and black hippy top with bell sleeves that end at the elbow, sunglasses with only one lens, and a scarf tied as a headband; he's holding an electric guitar. His right hand is raised in a fist, either because he's about to hit a power chord, or less likely, because he's making the universal sign of political solidarity.

Screen grab of article: “So, you know, it’s such a great question in the sense that people don’t think of grocery. You know, it sounds like not such an important word when you talk about homes and everything else, right? But more people tell me about grocery bills, where the price of bacon, the price of lettuce, the price of tomatoes, they tell me. [1] And we’re going to do a lot of things.

Transcript: Further, because the Complaint itself alleges Plaintiff to be a public figure with respect to her research career, Plaintiff must plausibly allege actual malice. See ¶¶ 2, 39-41 (alleging that Plaintiff is an “internationally renowned behavioral scientist, author, and teacher” who “has been invited to speak at some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the world,” and her “work has been covered in numerous media outlets”); see also Lemelson v. Bloomberg LP, 253 F. Supp. 3d 333, 340 (D. Mass. 2017) (plaintiff was public figure where, among other reasons, he alleged he was a “world-renowned” expert); Martin v. Roy, 767 N.E.2d 603, 606 (Mass. App. Ct. 2002) (tenured professor was public figure where his public lectures and writings attracted national attention). Actual malice requires that the defendant “either knew that [their] statements were false or had serious doubts about their truth and dove recklessly ahead anyway.” Schatz v.
