A political cartoon satirizing the anti-trans movement in which an old bald chunky man in khaki pants and a white shirt is looking into the shorts of a girl. He says, "I'm inspecting your genitals to protect you from abuse". The caption at the bottom reads "Republican Anti-Trans Logic". The artists name is signed but am unable to ascertain it.
A Nazi in front of the US flag in what appears to be the White House.
The F-Word, local Fredericton super sleuth(some would say hero) meeting Spider man at a downtown festival at what looks like Officer's Square. Steve, handsome as usual, is coiffed with his golden locks and wearing those great shades we all love. His big smile is surrounded by a gentlemanly thin mustache and beard of gray. Many happy freddy folks are photobombing and tents, trees and government buildings can be seen in the background.
A timely take on American Gothic(the famous painting by Grant Wood) which pictures Harry Kane as the wife in the white English kit with the three lions in blue shield over his heart. His slicked back coif is in perfect order and his face is pensive with anticipation, can shaded by a thin goatee. Erling Haaland is pictured as the husband in his dark red Norwegian kit with the flag in shield at the center of his chest. He is also in a black suit coat with slick back blonde hair. He holds a three pronged pitchfork with a soccer ball skewered on the middle prong. In the back ground is a classic farm house and a red barn.
A screen shot of a facebook post from The Fredericton Word which reds: "If you are intolerant, a bigot, just an asshole you don't need to follow this page. I will continue to post about Pride events and many other events that may hurt your sensitivites. Unfollow to save me from blocking you like David Munn. Love is love" Red heart imoji, rainbow imoji, pride flag imoji. Below the post is a picture of the Pride flag crosswalk which I must assume is in downtown Fredericton.
A post with the words "The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100 M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And hlf of you believe him."
Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, loser of two straight elections, cringe machine extraordinaire showing off his skills dressed in a rhinestone cowboy outfit that once again proves his handlers hate him with the hot passion of a thousand suns. He is in all white cowboy garb. His white cowboy hat has a political insignia on it, proving just how out of touch the man is with regular folks who would never wear something so foolish.
Masked white nationalists congregrate for a march in Washington DC. These coward fascists are covering their faces with white buffs and most are in a losers uniform of ball cap, button up blue shirt and khakis with cheap sunglasses. They tell on themselves with these costumes, their shame is on visual display as they hide from the accountability having such ideas about other humans should bring.
Miss Elizabeth and Randy Macho Man Savage getting married at Summer Slam 1991. Miss Elizabeth is dressed in a sleeved white wedding dress closed at the neck with long white train hanging from her hair. Her giant golden brown bangs lead into flowing curls that frame her face in a glow. Her face is a constant smile. Macho Man is adorned in a golden shark skin double breasted suit, topped with a golden cowboy hat with giant white peacock feather. His dark long locks are mostly hidden and he has a tear in his eye that might drip onto his white corsage. A balding priest presides.

A reddit post that uses sarcastic beauty to illustrate that critical thinking is AI in our own brain. The text reads, " Does anyone else use ChatGPT in their head? (Educational Purpose Only) I love using ChatGPT whenever I have a question or something or I just want to talk, but sometimes my phone is dead and I don't want to get up to use my computer so I don't have access to the AI. Recently I found out I have the ability to use a form of ChatGPT in my own head. I've talked to him so much I can almost entirely accurately predict what he is going to say. For example, my cat kept scratching at my bedroom door and meowing so I was about to use the ChatGPT app to ask why she was doing that, but then I decided it wasn't worth the effort and asked AI in my head. He told me something like "If your cat is scratching on the door and meowing it probably means she wants to be let out, let me know if you need anything else!" Then I let her out of my room. I just thought that was a pretty cool discovery I've made. Interested to see if anyone else has this ability. #ChefsKiss!
Perhaps the worst and best nipple tattoo of all time consists of a top hat, one eye with raised eyebrow and the other covered in a monocle. The nipple, which is at rest, is slightly above a curly mustache and a circular surprised mouth is the finishing touch on the beautiful abomination.
Two young looking Cooper's Hawks sit on a red stained wooden fence. They are puffy and scruffy looking little cuties with brown and white feathers and yellow feet. In the back ground a forest of ferns, wildflowers and saplings are behind a small grassy yard.
A photo of a typical New Brunswick forest floor in late spring. The Mayflowers are small white blooms that come from clusters of elongated oval green leaves. Fur needles and birch leaves from last years fall litter the ground around the flowers. Ferns and dead fall are visible in the background.
The Zit Remedy, a fictional band from the Canadian TV series Degrassi. The three members are dressed in late 80's progressive gear. The stage set up is epic and frugal. Bristol board posters among balloons and stage curtain.
Donnie Deutsch appearing on Morning Joe on MSNow 19/05/2026. Deutsch has salt and pepper hair, thick frame black glasses, a black sport coat and a smarmy smile. The graphic to his right suggests the gender affirming care of testosterone for older men is a "brand up".
A close ish view of a map of northern Baffin Island in the Arctic ocean of Canada. Marked in the middle is the hamlet of Arctic Bay (aka "The Pocket"). It is one of the northernmost jurisdictions in the country.
Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh at his confirmation hearing dressed in a grey suit with white shirt and black tie. Is that Larry Fitzgerald behind him?
A handsome, thoughtful fellow with glasses and salt and pepper hair stares deeply into your eyes from across the urinal divider. Clean tiles and crisp LED light show the shadow of stubble on his chin as he asks you awkward questions.
Part of the roof and the Giant Tiger sign laying on the ground after being blown off the Fredericton location during the wind storm of Dec. 19, 2025.
Tom Wlaschiha in his role as Jaqen H'ghar. In this photo H'ghar is dressed in Lannister armour which is red and black plated. His red hair has a grey streak on the left side and he is holding his black gloved right hand out to some off screen person.

A three box of pictures from the USport Soccer final between the York U Lions and the Mount Royal Cougars. In the first picture you see staff clearing the ice and snow from the lines of the field with what appears to be a chisel! In the second box, many fans can be seen in layers of clothes that seem unable to protect them from the elements which are raining/snowing down on them. In the final box, two soccer teams face a field of ice and snow in an exceptional final.
An Olmec roller toy with wheels(!). It is in the form of a Jaguar and made of fired clay. Many Mesoamerican Indigenous folks made toys like this for their children.
A local data scientist on what you would think was St. Patrick's day in the all green outfit, Lucky Charms T-shirt with Lucky the Leprechaun dancing in magic sparkles in front of his rainbow and some green tie joggers, on a random Wednesday in October. He is at his workspace and looking chill as some VIP's travel thru his workspace. The hands on this hips say, "Let me talk to your manager". The face says, "I have no time for this foolishness."
The Big Potato at Moxon's Country Farm. A giant, ten foot tall, paper mache potato with tiny stick figure arms and wire fingers and a cute little top hat. It is brown with slanty black eyes and a big dipper shaped mouth and is covered with "eyes" like a potato can be from time to time. There is a sign to the left of the Big Potato. The stand on which the potato sits is covered in pumpkins and other gourds. There are so many that hey have spilled off onto the ground around the stand. In the back ground there are some cars parked to the right and in the far background another pile of pumpkins can be seen. The sky is blue and clear on this mid October day.
A thoughtful and demur short poem reads: Save the bees Plant more trees Clean the seas Titties
Mookie Betts, World Series Champion, being attacked by New York Yankees fans in the 2024 World Series, which Betts went on to win. The drunken fans have interfered with play and grabbed Mr. Betts' arm and glove in an attempt to stop an out. One of the goons seems to be in a grey Yankees away jersey while the other goomba is in a classic Yankee pinstripe.
A photo of New Yankee Stadium at Gate 4. Located at East 161st St and River Ave. and directly behind home plate. The fake stone and large windows are covered by what appears to be a photo shopped Spirit Halloween sign, normally put on vacant shopping locations but now perfect for a stadium who's team has been eliminated from playoff contention.
A bank of clouds at sunset where the sun is setting behind the photographer. The tops of the clouds are bathed in a deep orange light. Like the top of an iceberg the bright part of the triangular cloud is cut thru by the darkness below. So many shades of grey lead down, ever down to a twilight sky that is already being lit by the harvest moon. Tendrils of cloud surround the moon which is reflecting much more yellow than orange light. The twilight sky is streaked with clouds and visibility seems endless. Glorious nature all around us.
A beautiful scene from small town New Brunswick, this time in Lakeville. The photographer has taken a twist on sunset pics by placing the sun behind them. The light is brightly shining even though it is low and is throwing long shadows that include the photographer them self. A pillar cedar is in the foreground on the left and is lit by the sun. A dirt driveway emerges out of the lawn and joins the road. The back of a stop sign can be seen at the roadway. In the back ground are some homes and a forest scene with vivid fall colours. The sky is cloudy and the light from the setting sun illuminates only it's preferred clouds. The sky between the clouds is blue with no sign of dusk yet.
A tall sugar maple stands behind a smaller maple tree. The larger maple's leaves have changed colours and are red, orange and falling. The smaller maple in front is mostly still green leaved. More trees are in the background and a parked car's hood can just be seen in the foreground.
Indiana Fever "Stranger Things" style hoodie double XL in black with red lettering. The front has INDIANA FEVER in the Stranger Thing font and the back has FEVER upside down and the number 011 and some other WNBA logos. All lettering is in red and all are filled except for the upside down FEVER on the back. Clean.
A suspension walking bridge crosses a wavy river in an autumn New Brunswick scene. The bridge hangs tightly a few meters above the rippled surface. In the background a mixed Acadian forest is awash in fall colours. Reds, oranges, yellows and greens are topped with a beautiful clear blue sky.
A New Brunswick autumn river view. The sun is shining from behind the photographers back which is illuminating the tops of the waves which are shimmering as if filled with magic. A large boulder is in the foreground, dominating the image for a moment. It is built like a right angle triangle that some Norse God has taken a swipe out of on top. A baby boulder trails behind. Water grass and cattails line the waters edge as the river gives way to the forest and finally the eye falls on the colors of the Acadian forest for which our province is so famous. Birch and maple, ash and oak are mixed with spruce and fir, pine and cedar. The leaves on the hardwood are a wash in color. Reds, oranges, yellows and greens mix in the with the evergreen(and occasional blue) of the soft wood species. The sky is clear and blue. A beauty of an autumn New Brunswick day in one photo.
An idyllic New Brunswick trail running along former railway. Small gravel packed down by years of walking and biking leads the user thru a beautiful fall scene of mixed forest. Maples, birch, ash and oak are mixed in with pine and spruce and all the colors of fall are visible. Reds, oranges, yellows and greens create a vibrant palate for the eye to wonder upon. There are also wild flowers, shrubs and grasses at the edge of the forests. A more picturesque walk is rarely taken.
Two abomination's. Oreo Reese's combo's. On the left you have the classic Oreo filled with peanut butter chocolate cream. On the right you have a white chocolate topped, regular chocolate bottomed Reese's filled with peanut butter mixed with Oreo cookie crumbs. Nightmare fuel...
A still of the VICELAND cult classic "Traveling the Stars: Action Bronson and Friends Watch Ancient Aliens. Action Bronson, a full figured NYC rapper(and former line cook) with beard and bald and his crew sit on couch and comfy chairs smoking many Cannabis while a quartet of choir singers in long blue robes and accompianist on a keyboard sing for them. The background, aptly, is a field of stars.
Scott Van Pelt, in a grey suit, red tie with a bald head and glasses says Ravens 31- Lions 27. Ryan Clark, an a Raven's purple suit, white button up collared shirt and crisp fade says Ravens 33- Lions 27. Jason Kelce in a ruddy brown suit and blue tie says Ravens 30- Lions 27. Marcus Spears in a cream coat with grey pants and grey tie, bald headed and heavily bearded says Ravens 38- Lions 30. Stephen A. Smith in a ridiculous pink suit and rose tie with spray on hair says(get this!) Ravens 41- Lions 38. The curse continues.
An Enbicon event announcement graphic. At the top of the red lined rectangle that composes the graphic is the Enbicon logo, a red dragon flying away from the viewer who's tail is creating the stylized "E" in ENBICON "Fredericton's Critical Hit" (Presented by @Thecomichunter@bsky.social). Nb's Premier Gaming Convention September 26-28, 2025 The Fredericton Inn Weekend: $27.50 Daily: $20.00(There is only one choice.) {Each of the next four lines is bulleted with a black die 20 with a red 20 showing} https://www.enbicon.ca https://www.facebook.com/Enbicon enbicon.bsky.social admin@enbicon.ca
An announcement post from Enbicon(Fredericton's annual gaming and comic convention) The Enbicon logo is a Red Dragon flying away from the viewer and it's tail is a stylized "E" which is followed by the rest of the word, NBICON. (Presented by Comic Hunter) The text of the announcement reads, "All members of our LGBTQ2S+ community are welcome at Enbicon. Bigotry will not be tolerated." There is also another graphic at the bottom center of the announcement consisting of a green die 4, a blue die 8, a purple die 10, a red die 12, an orange die 6 and a yellow die ten, all representing the Rainbow flag. In the center of the image is a die 20 with light blue, pink, black, dark brown and light brown along with white triangles which represents the trans portion of the Pride Flag.
A homemade Donair loaf made of multiple ground meats and spices. Slow cooked to 160 degrees internal and resting before being cut. The foodie in charge did a great job of adding moisture as they slow roasted to keep the loaf from drying out. You can clearly see that there is some slight crisping of the outside of the loaf without it being dry. Mouthwatering!
An epic example of early 90's Much Music television experience has Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Rick "The Temp" Campanelli and Red1 of the Rascalz appearing together on the screen. Bret Hart is looking super cool in a long black leather coat, a white v neck and his signature slick back black hair. Rick the Temp, so called because he won his job in a reality show type deal, is sporting a red and black sweater with a white stripe across the mid separating the colors. His hair is spiked and bleached. His hands are pointing and even in the still you can tell they are always moving. Red1 is in a blue leather coat. He has a long gold chain hanging well down his chest, a grey t shirt, some flash earrings and what looks like a knitted cap. Just some fantastic Gen X/early Millenial memories here.
A four box image of famous folks from movies with varied expressions of sadness, dismay, hopelessness and rage. Sadness is represented by a short haired Scarlett Johansson with reddened eyes from crying taken from the movie "A Marriage Story.". Dismay is represented by Michael Fassbender from an unknown movie(to me). He is staring deeply at a computer screen seemingly reading some terrible news. Hopelessness is represented by Oscar Isaac from an unknown movie(to me). Isaac is holding a coffee cup in a blue zip up hoodie and is very bearded which ads to the hopeless look somehow. Finally rage is represented by Matthew McConaughey in his role as Randall Flagg in the Stand. McConaughey is drawing strongly on a cigarette while he stares with rage at his cell phone. There is a caption in the middle of the four box which reads, "staying informed in 2025".
A fantastic panoramic of a sunrise over the Wolastoq river. The sun is just breaking the tree line on the far(north) bank of the river and the brilliant rays of sun are brightly reflected on the water. The sky is a blend of oranges and yellows down low and light and dark blues as you look up in the sky. The reverse is mirrored on the still water of the river. The Bill Thorpe walking bridge is visible on the far left.
Two long lines of twenty plus porta potties create a row of relief at The Harvest Music Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick 2025 edition. It is a dusky scene and the sky is purpling fast as the sun sets and the music and good vibes grow high. The green and grey porta-johns are accompanied by portable hand sinks that line the center of the row of relief. Tents and lights can be seen in the background along with, of course in Fredericton, many trees.
An Eastern Garter snake is out in the open on some crumbling asphalt. A smol snek with brown and tan checkerboard pattern and a cute green nose. It seems surprised and is slightly coiled up. A few pine needles indicate the snake is rather small, likely no more than 20 centimeters.
One of the dancing ladies from Jabba's Palace. She is wearing elegant headress and a brown double leveled bikini style bathing suit and a long skirt of torn fabric.
The NRA thirst trap. A full bodied blonde "lady" holding an assault weapon. The blue USMC sweat wicking shirt is at least one size to small. The make up is too much and the hair is unwashed. The pants are white after labour day. I want to be nice but it is so hard...
A photo from The White House dining room on September 4th, 2025. The walls remain free of gilt and the ketchup stains were cleaned up for the Orange Felon's big Tech billionaire dinner. The assembled super rich crowd included Mark Zuckerberg, Tangerine Moussilini, The First Lady, Tim Cook. Sam Altman's head is also pictured. The place settings are beautiful but the tech leaders made the rich look much more tasty as the monied moochers kissed the autocrats ass in hopes of avoiding tariffs and regulations. Taunting the masses to build those guillotines we all have the plans for...
A color coded four circle Venn Diagram named "The State of America. The four main circles are red, blue, yellow and green with red and blue top left and right and yellow and green bottom left and right. The red circle is labeled "Nineteen Eighty-Four", the blue circle is labeled "Fahrenheit 451", the yellow circle is labeled "Brave New World" and the green circle is labeled "A Handmaid's Tale". Where the red and blue circles intersect there is a purple portion labeled "Lord of the Flies". Where red and yellow intersect there is an orange portion labeled, "A Clockwork Orange". Where yellow and green intersect there is a light green section aptly named, "Soylent Green" and where the green and blue circles intersect there is a light blue section labeled, "Logan's Run". The overlap of the circles creates four small intersections where three circles meet. The three circle intersection located in the red circle is violet and it is labeled, "The Matrix". The three circle intersection centered in the yellow circle is lime and is labeled, "Gattaca". The three circle intersection centered in the green is aquamarine and is labeled, "Brazil" and the final three circle section centered in the blue circle is cobalt and is labeled, "Animal Farm". The very center of the Venn Diagram is white and is labeled, "You Are Here". How dystopian!
Donald Trump, the first dictator of the United States, explaining to the collected press that he got the giant bruise on the back of his right hand after a dream where he stole pirates booty by having the US military explode them. Trump is an 80 year old man with a comb over that hangs to his but crack. He is a 325 lb bag of shit in a badly tailored blue suit and a shit red tie. Guinness book of world records is tabulating how much orange powder makeup has been used on his face as it likely breaks Liberace's record. And speaking of Liberace, have you seen the Oval Office lately? Sheesh.
Samoa Joe does the "Nope" to Chris Daniels. Daniels is doing a perfect moonsault that should be landing directly on Joe's head, but Joe has turned and moved out of the way. Joe is a thick Samoan with dark hair but few tattoos. Chris Daniels is a fallen angel.
One of the scariest climbing play areas for children ever imagined by man. This anthropomorphic hamburger police officer is dressed in the English tradition of a "Bobby"(derived from the founder of the Metropolitan police force Sir Robert Peel) with a tall blue cap with a black band and a star above the bill. The body seems to be a pole with an opening in the back for children to climb. The front of the police uniform has a black belt with a red buckle, a star badge over the heart and two yellow buttons. I have saved the most distractingly terrifying bit for last. The head of the Burger Bobby is a double cheeseburger, but instead of a mouth the burger is spread wide open by bars that go all the way around the burger head, forming a kind of cage or jail for the unfortunate children to climb into up the pole. Alarming to say the least. This most horrific plaything is located in what seems to be a campsite in a pine forest. Campers and fifth wheels can be seen in the background and an old white faded bench on black metal pipe sits just behind the nightmare fuel. #Shudder
A picture of the classic board game, Trivial Pursuit! Created by drunken Canadians, this board game came in a glorious blue box with gold trim. The Box lid has a stylized cursive of the name of the game in the center with some fancy filigree and a six piece pie. Near the bottom of the box, over and under lined, are the words "Master Game ~ Genus Edition".
Vintage amber McDonalds ashtray. There are three slots for cigarettes and three examples of the 70's version of the McDonald's logo, with "McDonald's" placed near the bottom of the golden arches, the MC in the first arch, the D placed inside the meeting of the arches, the ona in the second arch, the L placed inside the right arch and the d's on the outside of the right arch. Classic!
A tweet by Adam Huras, a journalist from New Brunswick, filled with misinformation. The tweet reads "Christian conservative activist Faytene Grasseschi, who under the Higgs banner lost the hotly-contested battleground of Hampton-Fundy-St. Martins to Red Tory John Herron, says she has moved to Alberta. #NB" The tweet also links to Grasseschi's post on facebook and a photo of Grassechi if visible. I won't describe her, it wouldn't be fair. Now, Grasseschi isn't a "Christian conservative activist", she is a Christian Nationalist who supports the Seven Mountains dominionism doctrine. They want the word of God to rule on earth. Al Queda but for Christians. Also, Gary Crossman who held the riding for the last 10 years won 40%, 50% and 60% of the vote over the last three elections. Nothing about that riding was battle ground until former Premier Higgs put a Christian Nationalist up to run. Also, hashtag #Alberta, New Brunswick doesn't want anything more to do with her...
One single giant pancake sits on a large oval plate hanging over a table with a floral table cloth, above a black and white tiled floor. A large pat of butter is near the middle of the giant pancake and a knife shows that the pancake is about two knife lengths in diameter. I stole this image and the watermarks are telling on me.
A Dr. Julian Bashir and Elim Garak meme. Bashir is the Federation doctor on Deep Space Nine. Garak is a Cardassian "tailor" who has a shop on the promenade. Bashir, in panel one asks, "Do you think flight attendants should strike?" Panel two with Garak's reply, "All exploited workers should strike!" Bashir, seeming confused asks, "Even if it will disrupt the economy?", to which Garak gleefully responds, "ESPECIALLY if it will disrupt the economy!". We should all be more like Garak.
Fish Cakes from the Lily Lake Pavillion Menu : Two House made Atlantic haddock fish cakes drizzled with Lily’s house made lemon dill cream sauce finished with diced green onions and Lily’s Paradise Salad. The salad shouldn't just be sidelined as it appears to be mixed greens stopped with candied almonds, goat cheese and dried cranberries. What a plate!
