Laszlo from What We Do In The Shadows saying "or, perhaps, fuck that".
Columbus looking at someone off camera with a truly resigned face, he is just so sick of hearing whatever this is
Walter Matthau at the end of The Taking Of Pelham 123 (looking at someone in an incredibly disbelieving manner)
A picture of somebody's computer screen, showing that they have created a meme where it's Caesar from Planet of the Apes saying "apes together strong" but now it says "formulas together strong"
A view of David Pecaut Square in downtown Toronto (facing Metro Hall), with dozens of people sitting on blankets or lawn chairs to watch a movie on a giant screen. The sky is clear, the buildings are full of soft lights, and the sun is just beginning to set.
A semi-Impressionist oil painting of an extended family in the garden outside their French home on a late summer afternoon. People are sitting, drinking, eating, and talking; and the star of the painting, given his own almost perfectly empty space in the right-hand lower corner on the grass, is a little grey and white cat whose eyes are half-closed in contentment and whose face has a little smirk on it.

A political orientation quiz result showing that the quiz-taker is closest to Zohran Mamdani's political orientation. 81% woke to 19% chud, 33% techbro to 67% neo-Luddite, 50% each hopepilled and doomer, 69% (nice) Davos to 31% Dubai.
A picture of a pan on a stove, containing nothing but red and green bell pepper slices. The joke is that the characters of Cowboy Bebop are usually too broke to afford meat in their cooking.
A small white dog wearing an expression of pure doneness. He's so over it, whatever it is, that he can't even really open his eyes.

Your Honour, I am writing to you today as an incredibly concerned citizen of Ontario to formally request that you withhold Royal Assent for Bill 97, specifically the provisions concerning amendments to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). Our democratic system relies on the principle of executive accountability. The proposed changes in Bill 97 seek to: -Remove the Premier and Cabinet from Scrutiny by excluding the records of the Premier, Cabinet Ministers, and their offices from the FOI framework, the bill removes the primary mechanism by which the public holds its leaders accountable. -Retroactively nullify existing court rulings and outstanding requests regarding government transparency, setting a dangerous precedent for the rule of law. -Bypass public committee hearings for these specific non-budgetary oversight changes, undermining the Legislative Assembly's role in vetting significant policy shifts. I am aware that withholding Royal Assent is rare; but when a government uses its majority to shield itself from the very laws designed to ensure transparency, it creates a constitutional friction that requires any measures necessary (including the Crown’s intervention) to protect the long-term integrity of our institutions. The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario has herself described these changes as "anti-democratic." This is not a normal, reasonable Bill and as a citizen of Ontario it is my opinion that we should not be bound to quotidian measures in counteracting its impact. I wholeheartedly urge you to reserve this bill for the consideration of the Governor General in Council, or to withhold assent until a full public consultation and committee review is conducted that ensures these changes do not stop the public’s right to know. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to seeing this Bill handled appropriately. [name] [city, province] [phone]

The meme of somebody pressing two manual soda fountain buttons at once to make a mixed soda and the sodas are labeled "hooting" and "hollering"
A screenshot from the video game Hades, where you play as an underworld god and battle your way out of Hell. The main character is standing in a coliseum and looking up at one of the many ghost spectators, his biggest (and only) fan, a little ghost who is holding a banner of your face and dressed in your colours. The ghost is giving a big smile reaction.
A ground-level photo of a brown, orange and white cat with green eyes and a bobbed tail sitting half-up on carpet in someone's den. The cat's mouth is open wide and it looks like she's yelling - you can see her remaining sharp teeth.

The first girl is labeled "me", the second girl is labeled "every company", and the tuba is labeled "unwanted AI".

From Guardian article: "Of the eight documented instances of non-compliance for blood inspections, which date back to 2016, facilities operated by Grifols made up half of all cases. One inspector with Health Canada, who asked not to be named, told the Guardian he felt the non-compliance reports were “very troubling” and believed they reflected a “deeper set of concerns” about the facilities and how they were run. Curtis Brandell, a blood safety activist who is president of the independent British Columbia chapter of the Canadian Hemophilia Society, said: “When I heard about the first death, I thought it must be a mistake. The donation procedure is safe. But when I learned of a second death – in the same city – alarm bells started going off.” One of the facilities in Winnipeg where a donor died in January, owned by Grifols, is the subject of a lawsuit after a donor said the facility used a faulty machine that damaged his blood, causing “non-reversible and permanent” injuries to his kidney."

The Criterion Godzilla boxset book open to the page for GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA. The artwork shows us, as if standing underneath Godzilla's huge legs and looking up at his enemy, Mechagodzilla squaring off with Godzilla and roaring to show all its pointy metal teeth. Another kaiju, a lion-dog with sharp claws, can be seen coming up from behind Mechagodzilla.
The Criterion Godzilla boxset book open to the page for Godzilla vs. Megalon. Godzilla's enormous head, backlit by the blazing sun and reminiscent of a mushroom cloud, towers over a three-way battle between other kaiju (and Jet Jaguar, a human-built robot who is the actual star of this movie)
The Criterion Godzilla box set book open to the page for GODZILLA VS. GIGAN. The artwork is a dramatically-lit movie-poster-style shot of a towering Gigan with his red glowing eye and sharp beaked mouth, with a roaring Godzilla in front of him and two human characters looking on at the sides. Lightning crackles around them and the sky is blood-red.
