I love all those things that Labour fans say Labour have done but actually haven't, are being dropped one by one. Truly the party of business.

Happy thanksgiving to Americans. May you all swap smallpox blankets or whatever you do these days.
Front and centre is the head and neck of Christina Ricci, playing Wednesday Addams who is playing Pocahontas. She's a White woman, black hair in two plaits and a headband with a stylised bird. Behind to the left is a woman dressed like a pilgrim, white hair covering and apron over a black dress. She's in front of a straw built house. To the right there's something on fire. Wednesday Addams' hand is poking into frame holding a lit match

Lowly worm (complimentary)
A car made in the shape of a big red apple. It has proportionally small wheels and a huge front window, through which you can see it's been driven by a worm in clothes and a hat. It might be a Homburg. It also has a big green stalk and single leaf on top.

Not really a bit of knowledge as much as getting a reference. The Animal Friendship spell in BG3 has changed the 5e symbol for it to the hand gesture used by Crocodile Dundee in the 1986 movie.
The original 5e symbol for Animal Friendship. It looks like a crucifix with a slightly m shaped wiggly line coming out of it. Against a pink background Bright pink on black, the outline of a barking dog or wolf, and to the upper right, a human hand with the fore and little finger pointing forward, the middle and ring fingers curled into the palm, and what looks like the thumb facing back to the wrist. Paul Hogan as Crocodile Dundee, a white man in a black big brimmed hat with crocodile teeth on the band, wearing a tan leather waiscoat, black shirt with the sleeves rolled up and some sort of tan traousers. To the left of shot is the head of a water buffalo. He has one hand extended towards it, with the fore and little finger pointing forward, the middle and ring fingers relaxed towards the palm.

I am bad at arts and crafts. But I want to affix that there crepe paper to those pretty pointless lamp shades. Does anyone have any tips?

Karl Marx, come on down, your time is finally here.
A south Asian man with slightly greying hair and a short beard, from the shoulders up in front of a muted pink backdrop. Apparently he's Sundar Pichai "boss" of Google or Alphabet. Headline, black on white reads, "Google boss warns 'no company is going to be immune' if AI bubble bursts"

Ugh. The twat who cried wolf. Since that ridiculous report by a Labour dickhead which classified almost anything as online abuse, I've become completely desensitised to headlines like this, assuming, like Labour that it's all lies.

Though it's FIFA, so it's likely to be lies and bribes.
The word FIFA in beige against a black background. There's something stuck on the letters, maybe like a collage. I'm not wearing my glasses so can't tell. The headline to the right, black on white reads, "FIFA reports 30,000 abusive online posts this year"

Weird little guy in my plant pot update.

He has a friend
A white mushroom of some sort. He's got a little white round head and is shaped a bit like he's got a body and shoulders. In front to the right is a little version of him without eyes drawn on. The photo is framed by long green leaves

Repost with an iconic fictional band:
A photograph of Milli Vanilli from the chest up. Two black men with very long braids swept to the side are looking seductively into the camera. The shoulder pads are massive. The background is bright red.

Strangely my very much indoor palm with a layer of gravel designed to keep things out of the soil has fungus in the pot. I don't know how it's happened. But also the mushroom looks like this.
Amid a mess of leaves and gravel, a white mushroom, very much in the shape of a guy, with a head, shoulders and torso, though no arms. Also I've drawn eyes on him.

The second tweet was my favourite part.
Two tweets white on black by "classy warfare" The first reads, "The war on Christmas cannot end until Christmas stops its illegal occupation of November" The second,"I am calling on the Klaus regime to return to the borders agreed upon in the Black Friday Agreement"

a rough map of the UK. The North West 7/8ths are blue denoting "Can't afford horses". The bottom 8th is purple denoting "Loves Horses". A small circle around Newcastle is circled red denoting "Punches horses"

The perfect taxi already exists
the screen is mostly filled by a close up of the side window of an aquamarine vehicle. It says "johnny cab" on the side, black on yellow. In the back is Arnold Schwarzenegger, a very large white man in a green coat. In the front is a small plastic looking chauffeur in a matching aquamarine jacket and hat. It's from the film Total Recall.

I've a friend whose beautiful cat has gone senile. She's fine, mostly, just weird and sits in her water bowl quite a lot.

Does anyone know any resources for advice? I've never encountered it before.

She's not sure how best to help the cat.
A very pretty long haired brown and slightly orange cat sat on a bit of brightly coloured linoleum. Which is on top of grey wood laminate, because rental property. Underneath her is a water dish

Mmmmmm capitalism stars in another feelgood story.
Text, black on white reads, "Waitrose has reversed its decision not to offer paid work to an autistic man after initially saying he had to stop stacking shelves at the store where he had volunteered for four years." "He gave over 600 hours of his time purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference," said his mum.

Danny Ash has let himself go.
a very pale man's head with red lipstick and dark eyeliner, with big fluffy 80s hair is sat atop a red covered silver platter. There's slightly eerie green lighting and it looks like he's in a box. It's actually a dumb waiter.

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future
A painting of Mr Badger from wind in the willows. He's wearing what looks like a giraffe print dressing gown with blue trim. He's peeking out of a green door with a "Mr Badger" sign next to it and a pull cord presumably for a bell

Oh no. I had a terrible accident. Years of yeasty goodness is getting wet and will wash away.
A serrated bread knife is vertical though the photo with a white and grey handle poking out the bottom of the frame. It's in a metal sink with some splashes of water on the blade. There's a plug hole to the right

Was it the massive reliance by every online company of one of three different infrastructures, meaning that everyone can be held to ransom by a handful massive pricks? Why yes it was.

Get your calipers round this absolute beauty.
A white man, head and shoulders, wearing a blue open necked shirt. And what a head. It's about 5 times longer than it is wide. It's like a caricature of Lawrence Fox. It's an astonishing length.

There is an alternative though.
Tweet from 'Taylor Swift Updates', "Update as most of you know, I haven't been active in the past couple of months because I was in prison. I am back now though, more Taylor Swift updates to follow" A reply asks "OMG why" The Taylor Swift fan account replies, "I refused to join the IDF lmao"
