A Puffolt from the game Palworld that I named Nibbles, a small yellow cute dog with and underbite (that I think is wrong in real life dogs, but fine in animated ones) and a round ball of fur covering most of her head with an opening shaped in a way that makes her look a little angry. She has a yellow glow that looks almost like fire, an effect caused by a pal being "awakened" in the game.
A level 80 Puffolt named Nibbles. It's a small, cute yellow dog with lightning powers. She is four stars, fully upgraded with souls, trust is at 10, and her ability numbers are all 100. Attack is 3202 and defence is 2341. She has a golden glowing ring around her portrait. Her passives are Ferocious, Musclehead, Diamond Body, and Serenity.
A comic panel where one woman is looking back in disdain at two other women, with a word balloon cut off to make it look like she's saying the text in the post this is in reply to.
A level 71 Puffolt named Nibbles. It's a small, cute yellow dog with lightning powers. She is four stars, fully upgraded with souls, trust is at 10, and her ability numbers are all 100. Attack is 2538 and defence is 1668.
An image of my Palworld saves. Level 45 on day 172. Level 50 on day 135. Level 62 on day 564 (it doesn't show, but that's my first game). Level 65 on day 562 (my last game, it was random). Level 63, day 90.
A level 1 alpha Bushi Noct with four red passives: Night Owl, Pacifist, Coward, and Destructive. My character has ability glasses on, so I can see health is 50, attack is 95, and defence is 75, which is pretty decent.
A poster that says "Secure Beneath the Watchful Eyes" with a red double decker bus driving over a bridge with four stylized eyes of different sizes floating above it. In smaller text below it says, "CCTV & Metropolitan Police on buses are just two ways we're making your journey more secure."
Screenshot of the original post. The actual user name is blacked out, but they have a PFP from Jane Curtin from her SNL days and the user name "Jane You Ignorant Slut". Below that is the post, "Honest question. Why is there so much Boomer hate?" It shows at the time there was 1 quote, 5 likes, and 1 save. It shows eight replies, but it doesn't show those replies or that when I was there, only five were visible so I guess the blockee wasn't the only one blocked.
Screenshot of a comment I made and a reply. The replier' name is blacked out. Me: And even 85 years ago they came in late then started telling everyone else they'd be speaking German now if not for them. Replier: Where were the Angles from again? You're welcome. (Followed by a winking face emoji to make this confusing smugness extra smug because they thought they did something here.)
The card Dynaheir, Invoker Adept, a 4/4 legendary creature, human wizard, for 1 generic mana and blue, red, and white. HasteYou may activate abilities of other creatures you control as though those creatures had haste. Tap: When you next activate an ability this turn by spending four or more mana to activate it, copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copy.
The cast of Union Square. You may have heard of Harriet Sansom Harris or Jonathan Slavin. Michael Landes played Jimmy Olsen on Teri Hatcher's Superman show.
A screenshot of the above post showing one reply, and I put a red arrow pointing at that. No reply is visible though.

Screenshot where I asked Google, "Why is Google so insistent on using AI when AI sucks?" Its AI Overview reply... Google is heavily pushing AI because it fundamentally views it as the future of the internet, a massive monetization opportunity, and a high-stakes survival race. While the current AI can feel frustrating or inaccurate, Google is driving this shift for three primary reasons:Monetization and Ad Integration: Traditional organic search forces users to leave Google's platform to find answers. AI keeps users inside Google's ecosystem longer, allowing the company to weave targeted advertisements directly into AI-generated answers.The "Next Computing Platform" Race: Google sees AI as the successor to standard search. The company is terrified of competitors (like OpenAI or Microsoft) building the dominant AI interface and siphoning away its monopoly on user attention and data.User Habit Redesign: Google hopes AI will shift how people search from simple keyword queries to conversational exploration, allowing them to gather more granular context about what consumers are trying to buy or do

Two people in Bluesky replies. Person 1 has a Canadian flag, a maple leaf, and a red heart in their user name, Person 2 has just the Canadian flag. Person 1: Can't you just accept his greetings to all mothers? I'm a mom and today is not the time to shit on Carney. Leave your grievances to other topics. (Followed by an eye roll emoji.) Person 2: Carney is a politician, not your daddy, not someone who needs special treatment today. If you want to avoid politics, take Mother's Day off from social media. All his statements are political. To support mothers, Carney needs to do far more work on health care, child care, climate & housing. Person 1: Don't you dare tell me what to do! You stay the fuck off his thread and shut up. (Followed by a middle finger emoji.)

The Pentagon.
Betty and Veronica from Archie Comics are discussing a rock concert by a band called Lee Lee and the All Night Dogs while Veronica is swooning over the picture of the lead singer, Lee Lee. Behind Betty is a shorter girl with a green bob and a lot of little hearts rising from her. One could pretend she's looking at Lee Lee, but come on, she's looking at the back of Betty's head.
The painting American Gothic by Grant Wood. Per Wikipedia, American Gothic is a 1930 oil painting on beaverboard by the American Regionalist artist Grant Wood, depicting a Midwestern farmer and his wife or daughter standing in front of their Carpenter Gothic style home. It is one of the most famous American paintings of the 20th century and is frequently referenced in popular culture.
A panel from Funky Winkerbean where an older woman in the audience at a bookstore reading raised her hand and tells Les Moore, the smuggest a-hole writer character in comic history, that she got the reference.
A picture of Keanu Reeves beside a picture of Adam Driver, who have some similarities. The picture of Reeves is labelled "Keanu?" and the picture of Driver is labelled "Keanu not?" It's a silly little pun that got stuck in my head today so I wanted to make this image after finding someone else who has some similarity to Keanu, it really didn't matter who.
The Magic the Gathering card Metalworker, all yellows, browns, and oranges, where one bigger robot (in comparison, based on the pages behind them and the shadow of a much larger table) is confronted by three smaller robots. The larger robot is shooting a beam from its chest, bathing another in light. It's a 3 colourless artifact creature, 1 power and 2 toughness, with the ability "Reveal any number of artifact cards in your hand. Add two colorless [sic] mana to your mana pool for each card revealed this way." The flavour text says, "At this rate I fully expect to be replaced by a clockwork golem by year's end." It is attributed to Barrin. The art is by Don Hazeltine.
This historic picture showed young communists in 1897 before some of them rose to power. There's a young Vladimir Lenin (in the middle) – of course, he kept his place. Alexander Malchenko (standing, on the left) was not so lucky: in 1930 he was accused of being a spy, executed, and replaced with a white spot.
Arthur Gray writing, "No sense made, as Epstein wasn't raping children and neither did anyone else, in any of the documentation of anything we have whatsoever."
Combined screenshots of two Jormuntide Ignises from Palworld. One with no special name but I will call Lucky in the rest of this alt text, the other named George Burns (because it's an old-timey reference and a pun). Both are level 65. Lucky has Lucky and Coward for his passives, his abilties are Health 71, Attack 94, and Defense 67. His trust level is 0, and he has no stars from condensing. He has no pal souls. His full attack stat is 957, defense is 635, and health is 6974. George has Demon God, Diamond Body, Legend, and Ferocious for her passives, and her abilities are all 100. Her trust level is 10, she is four stars from condensing, and she has maxed pal souls (except for work speed, which is not shown in the image). Her full attack stat is 3282, defense is 2503, and health is 14155.
A single purple circle. Underneath is the key, in blue text it says, "Americans who want immigrants out of 'their country'" and in red text it says "Americans who want the USA to take over Greenland".
Screenshot from Black Diamond's website where it says "Black Diamond is Canada's Most Trusted Cheddar Cheese" followed by some more marketing gibberish that I didn't bother reading, sorry.
ICE thug completely covered from head to toe, not even his hair or eyes are visible. He's wearing a camo uniform, "police" best, red lensed glasses or goggles, a toque (or "beanie" for Americans", a lower face covering, and black gloves. Get ten of these together and they'd been the goons the Power Rangers drive off.
Scarlet from the anime "May I Ask For One Final Thing", with blood splatter on her face and holding up her hand wearing a fingerless, studded leather glove asking, "May I kindly start punching you?"
“I know, now, he’s out. In my eyes, I’d like to think that time heals everything and I believe in forgiveness. I also believe in looking at the body of work. I also know there is a lot of fragile stuff going on there. I’ve learned to become a little more accountable for what I say, and just because I feel a certain way about a person doesn’t excuse them from being accountable for their actions. Just because he did start ‘all this gangster shit,’ doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to be accountable for his actions. Let’s figure out what that means, and then figure out if we can move forward and bring it back in the fold or if it stays the way it is.”
The Magic the Gathering card Bearscape, an enchantment for one and two green mana with the ability "For one and a green, exile two cards from your graveyard: Create a 2/2 green bear creature token." This version depicts several big, hairy men of different ethnicities relaxing in and around a hot spring, four of whom are two couples.
Still from the movie musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with star Robert Morse and co-star Rudy Vallee who I think US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent resembles.
Scarlet from the anime "May I Ask For One Final Thing", with blood splatter on her face and holding up her hand wearing a fingerless, studded leather glove asking, "May I kindly start punching you?" but I added (poorly) "Billionaire," in front of the question.

My first ever interaction with ChatGPT where I asked, "What's the appropriate number of laughing crying emojis to use in a social media post?" Its reply, "The "right" number of 😂 laughing crying emojis in a social media post depends on your tone, audience, and the platform—but here's a quick guide to avoid overdoing it or looking out of touch: ✅ Generally Appropriate Emoji Counts: Context Recommended 😂 Count Light chuckle / mildly funny 1 Funny but not hysterical 2 You're dying of laughter (for real) 3 (maybe 4 if dramatic)" There was a reply for 5+ that wasn't in the screenshot.
A panel from the comic strip Nancy where Sluggo is carrying a sign that says "Eat At" with the Olive Garden logo poorly pasted below (I hate how much of a pain MS Paint can be). The word balloon has him saying, "When you're here, you're eating genuine Italian food!"
A screenshot of a tweet from Ryan Nicholas, @tronisbad, dated Aug 29, quote tweeting his own tweet dated Jun 8. The original tweet says "Dont lose sight of your morals for product Remembering the day I was brought into a discord call by one of my sponsors and was asked to refrain from using the word “genocide” while speaking out about the genocide that was happening in Palestine I did not re-sign my contract" The new tweet says, "With a significant number of creators dropping sponsorships today bc of UG’s decision to continually make immoral choices, I’m no longer afraid to state that this same company requested I refrain from using the verbiage “genocide” when referring to Palestine Free Palestine"
