Presented without comment:

A picture of a metropolitan area somewhere in the U.S. featuring a street sign to which a handmade sign has been attached which says:
"Somewhere in America, a little girl is hiding in an attic, writing about I.C.E."

Nah, not Dracula, more like Count Orlok.

I didn't make this, but I agree with it!

Is that not what this is? Definitely two right hands, though, once I zoom in.

Close-up screen shot of the first picture two posts upthread showing the man's second right hand holding something that looks to me like a torch.

Hey, @gomez.house.gov why didn't you share this here?

A picture of the Dotard-in-Chief's right hand clutching the podium during the State of the Union whinefest with Jeffrey Epstien's face edited over the large discolored patch on the back of his hand.

Had to look up "immiseration" and the example is apt.

Phone screen shot of the definition of "immiseration" on m-w.com with an example from C. R. Morris which reads:
"... the immiseration of the working class."
(The word "immiseration" is in italics in the quote.)

As a Minnesotan, can confirm.

Screenshot of the Windows 10 weather app showing "Maplewood, MN" for the location and a current (23:52) temperature of -9°F under Clear conditions and "Feels like -14°."
Under that, it says "The skies will be clear. The low will be -10°."

You should ask for a burlap sack since you're sexy in everything you wear.

#HudsonTheatre I was happy to see this on my way into the restroom! #Ally #Inclusion

A sign for a restroom for MEN above a sign that reads:
"Gender Diversity is welcome here.
Please use the restroom that best fits your gender identity or expression."

Waiting for "Waiting for Godot" ...

A selfie showing the sign for "Waiting for Godot" above my head and behind me.

"In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey..."

A picture of Pope Leo holding a microphone so it looks like he is singing.

Peter Jansen@omicron416· Nov 22

So I looked up "vainglory" and damn does this example provided by Bing speak to the times.

Screenshot of search results from Bing showing the definition of "vainglory" which is: "excessive pride in oneself or one's achievements; excessive vanity."
The example that follows, in italics which I do not know how reproduce in alt text:
"his vainglory put the Republic at risk"

These are your choices.

A cartoon that shows a person labelled "Trump Supporters" at a fork in the road where the two choices are:
Left: Admit you were conned.
Right: Support a pedophile.

Shamelessly stolen and passing along ...

A grid of twenty images of Little Donnie Krasnov that in my opinion accurately reflect his character (or rather, the lack of it) with text above it in all caps that says:
"A collection of Trump photos he hates & has attacked people for sharing" where "hates" is underlined.
Also text at the bottom that says "Just so you know which ones not to share" and a "graftacus" watermark.

Peter Jansen@omicron416· Sep 24

Same, dude. Same.

Close-up on the young man behind and to the right of the Mayor, whose facial expression speaks volumes.

Hey @teapainusa.bsky.social and @mayoisspicyy.bsky.social my feed did a thing and I thought you'd like to know. 😁

A screenshot of posts from @teapainusa.bsky.social and @mayoisspicyy.bsky.social (in that order) which say:

"We now know that Trump, or probably more correctly, the White House posted a photo today showing Trump playing golf which we now know was taken over a week ago.

What do you reckon is going on?"

And:

"I think he's DEAD."

Both posts have been liked by the person who took the screenshot.

Quote this post with someone you wish were still alive.

Same energy.

A picture split in two vertically with text on each side.
The left shows Donald Trump and says "I will get to the bottom of the Epstein situation" and right shows O. J. Simpson (and an unknown man behind him) and says "I will find the real killers" and both are sitting in golf carts.

Peter Jansen@omicron416· Aug 8

Exactly!

A picture of Little Donnie Krasnov walking with text above that reads:
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
And text below that reads:
"Because it was too scared to release the Epstein files."

#EatTheRich #PayYourFairShare

Two-panel meme taken from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
The top panel is a picture of Drew Carey sitting at his desk and holding a card with text that says:
"Things to say that will always start a fight"
The bottom panel is a picture of Ryan Stiles with text that says:
"Everybody deserves food and shelter before anybody deserves rental properties or yachts".

The second picture looks EXACTLY LIKE how you would expect a Musk-enshittified diner to look. Direct link to the pic: www.rollingstone.com/wp-content/u...

The second picture from the RollingStone.com article about the "Tesla Diner" in Los Angeles.
It looks like Elon Musk tried to make a diner The Jetsons might visit.

Shamelessly stolen from @imgur.com and sharing because it's so good:

A picture of text that reads:
If Trump gets any more incoherent, the right wing evangelicals will claim he is speaking in tongues.

Peter Jansen@omicron416· Jun 29

You're right, it does look like that! I wouldn't expect laces like that with a shoe like that, though, but maybe that's just me.

A close-up of a picture upthread in which it looks like Andre 3000's shoe is, in fact, untied!

Especially when it's so easy to get reminded! Just go to Settings, then Accessibility, and there's two check boxes!

Screen shot of the "Accessibility" section of this web site's Settings, which shows an icon of a person followed by a header that says "Alt text" and two check boxes which are labelled "Require alt text before posting" and "Display larger alt text badges" where both are checked.
(Note: The check boxes themselves are on the right side, their labels are to their left.)

Peter Jansen@omicron416· Jun 15

Those numbers though!

Screen shot of the post Alex is quoting, with the numbers at the bottom highlighted, which read:

Be a shame if this went viral. #Mar-A-TACO

A picture of Mar-a-Lago with text "MAR-A-TACO" over it.

Peter Jansen@omicron416· May 24

Shamelessly stolen from @imgur.com because it struck a chord and I want as many people as possible to see it.

A picture taken at a Trump event (no idea which one) showing his back and the faces of several women, who are, of course, white, with text that says "Women who support Trump ignore the sexism so they can enjoy the racism."

Peter Jansen@omicron416· May 19

He says this as if he hasn't made it painfully obvious to even the most casual of observers.

Screen shot of a post on X (fka Twitter) from @elonmusk using "Kekius Maximus" as a handle that reads, verbatim:
'Please put "Never went to therapy" on my gravestone'

Setting aside the conspiracy theory garbage and that she's not an MD, Junior here is so stupid that he thinks a physician would treat their husband. AND he does not see how doing would be a huge problem ethically, but that of course is no surprise.
