I will never not share this.

Also, I suspect this will be many folks on Friday morning:
South Park's Cartman, wearing a pointy yellow and red hat with food on his face. Caption: No more pie.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

Hmmm. I group up in Los Angeles. Most of the damn things take place there.
Movie poster for Quentin Tarantino's 9th film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Brad Pitt and Margo Robbie in shades; Leo DiCaprio in a yellow turtleneck. And the Cinerama Dome for, um, reasons.

Sure it's not a meatloaf?
Illustration of a smiling cat standing on a chair. The cover of B. Kliban's collection CAT One Hell of a nice animal, frequently mistaken for a meatloaf (the title of which is at the top of the illustration)

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.
The back third of a yellow-green 70s muscle car. The word Earth is visible near the bumper. This image is also the cover of Pentastar: In The Style of Demons by Seattle band Earth.

Going faster miles an hour...
Gonna drive past the Stop n Shop
With my AM radio on...
Yes, it's a roadrunner. It didn't vocalize for me so I can neither confirm nor deny that when so inclined it says 'mee-meep'.

I'm not sure this actually works (I think the web site is blocking IP addresses abroad). Please try it and let me know if it works as advertised.
If you're staring at touch choices, go to findhelp.org. Type in your zip code - get connected to local food banks, free groceries, and emergency aid. It works in every city. No strings. just help.

Carmen G posted this without alt text, but it deserves a wider audience...
US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson wearing a blue suit jacket with US flag lapel pin and blue and white striped necktie. The Washington Monument is blurred behind him. The caption reads: This guy was complaining non-stop about unemployed people sitting at home, collecting government checks and now he has Congress literally SITTING AT HOME NOT WORKING COLLECTING GOVERNMENT PAYCHECKS

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.
Cover of Dramarama's 1989 album Stuck in Wonderamaland. Five bandmembers seated with eyes closed in meditation poses. Brick wall behind. a hand floating in the upper left. And flowers across the bottom.

On Wednesdays, we wear black

Social media post from @DrChrisThompson (dated 17/12/2021): Time for your annual reminder that, according to A Christmas Carol, Bob Cratchit makes 15 shillings a week. Adjusted for inflation, that's $530.27/wk, $27,574/yr, or 13.50/hr. Most Americans on minimum wage earn less than a Dickensian allegory for destitution.

There are so many of us...
Combined YouTube views for Charlie Kirk's memorial between Fox and Turning Point USA: 6.9 million. Jimmy Kimmel show views: 19 million and counting. Don't let them ever convince you that they are a majority. Liberalism, fairness and justice are still far more popular in the US and around the world.

Seen 10 minutes later elsewhere on bsky:
Bugs Bunny dressed as Rick Blaine from Casablanca nursing a shot of carrot juice, ears down, eyes at half mast, hair tussled. A bottle of carrot juice stands on the bar to the rabbit's left.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy
Black and white photo of Tubes singer Fee Waybill in the character of Quay Lude in a white spiky wig, the word Quay across his eyes. Elbows akimbo, his hands are at crotch level. Wearing a silver lame vest and silver lame leggings and silver platform boots. The heads of a few audience members are at the bottom of the photo and a drum kit behind Fee.
