Share someone who looks stylish wearing a belt.

Scene from the cartoon series The Mighty Hercules from the 1960s. A cartoon muscle-man with a light blue over-the-shoulder toga with a distressingly provocative short hem wearing a black belt with the letter "H" emblazoned on the front stands next to his diminutive demi-equestrian sidekick, Newt, with a paternal hand on the young centaur's shoulder.

Best Star Trek Captain, wrong answers only?

Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society in the scene where he introduces the Walt Whitman phrase "O Captain, My Captain". A man in a dress shirt and tie stands his legs astride two desks like a Greek Colossus, in a mid-century classroom filled with young men looking up at him. His hands are in his pockets as the tries to instill a passion for writing, poetry, literature, art and life.

Share one of your all-time favourite actors? Takashi Shimura, here in Ikiru.

Me to media and representatives:

A young blonde woman leans forward with an intense, judgmental look on her face telling her subservient friend to stop trying to initiate a catch-phrase because she is not going to let it gain popularity. The meme caption reads "stop trying to make Mitch happen".

Given his affection for wood, splinters likely carry a lot of emotional baggage for him.

A man, Pierre Poilievre, in a plaid shirt is looking up at a wooden post in an old wooden building. He is trying for all he is worth to take on the appearance of someone who is familiar with traditional woodworking craftsmanship but instead provides the impression that he is woefully out of his depth.

Image from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where the principal doubts a phone call saying Cameron will be absent in order to attend his grandmother's funeral so he asks the parents to show him the corpse.

A man wearing a suit and tie is on the phone sitting in a bland school administrator's office. The caption reads "Yeah, you just produce a corpse..."

I always see this...

Green lines on black background, early computer display showing an outline of a futuristic tank from a 1980s video game.

Every city's got an ominous megastructure...

A nighttime view of the main library branch of the Edmonton Public Library, the Stanley A. Milner library, a cubist-inspired modern building that strikes upwards at an angle in an almost-threatening, knifelike gesture. It's industrial-steel-brutalism has been compared to a military vehicle, earning it the nickname ThinkTank, amongst others.

Caine wore it better.

An advert of Michael Caine wearing Bloody Large Glasses by Michael Caine where a man in a brown sports coat and taupe turtleneck wears a pair of absurdly large glasses whilst holding a partially finished cigar. An advertisement that encapsulates the 1970s aesthetic in a calmly distressing fashion.

Provided without comment (but not without alt text)

A screenshot that shows Trump at a Libertarian convention in front of a large banner reading "Become Ungovernable", with his arms stretched out beside him while below is the shared image of a baby sandhill bird running and stretching it's wings in a similar fashion with the description that they often energetically flap their wings and do practice hops before flying.

America in 1932 vs America in 2026

A lineup of men sitting on a steel girder high atop New York having lunch during the construction of a skyscraper, photo taken in 1932.

Three men lean on the scaffolding in front of the Kennedy Centre on the night that the Trump name has been ordered to be removed from the building by a court injunction.

This is brilliant, hence re-posting with alt-text for everyone.

The end scene of the original Planet of the Apes where Charlton Heston realizes this bizarre planet is actually a post-apocalyptic Earth. A man is doubled-over in agony on a beach, behind him stands an oblivious woman holding the reins of an impassive horse. In place of a ruined Statue of Liberty though, the desolate beach has only the partially-unearthed ruins of the UFC fighting stage currently erected on the White House lawn by Donald Trump to celebrate his birthday and America's 250th anniversary.

The Group Chat...

A woman in a green wig and cheap halloween costume stands in front of a counter with an array of modest chemistry props amid a haze of smoke, one of the promoted attractions of a now-infamously underwhelming Willy Wonka Experience held in Glasgow a few years ago.

THERE ARE FOUR EMILIOS!

Patrick Stewart playing Captain Picard in Star Trek the Next Generation: a man, unshaven, sleep-deprived and thin due to torture, yells at the camera that he is unwavering in his knowledge that there are four lights, which is true, when his captors want him to capitulate by saying that there are five, which is a lie.

This kind of radical exploitative economy dominated by a cruel and indifferent oligarchical class does, in the end, result in a consumer culture of a different sort...

A poster of a large mouth with red lips and prominent teeth, open wide with the words "eat the rich" inside.

Guinan, from Star Trek the Next Generation. Whoopi Goldberg played the character Guinan, seen here wearing an orange fleece futuristic top and her character's signature wide-rimmed hat. She is smiling introspectively at the camera. Guinan famously said she was always attracted to bald men after a bald man had been particularly kind to her once.

Dreeshen might not be recognizable in this photo with the sunglasses, so here's a better photo to help readers recognize him.

Devin Dreeshen, Alberta MP and cabinet minister from Red Deer, seen here before election to office celebrating Trump's election night win in 2016 at the Trump headquarters wearing a red Make America Great Again ballcap and holding what looks like a cup of vodka with ice aloft in toast. Readers may also recall that Dreeshen was revealed to often drink at work in the legislature to the extent that there were harassment claims against him from government staff, an accusation he later boasted about in government publicity photos.

Just throwing this out there...

A background for the CBS news program 60 Minutes with an image of the main character from the cartoon series Squidbillies in the host seat. He is a cartoon mud squid wearing a ballcap that reads Booty Hunter and wears an expression of ignorant impatience.

Me when I find the death date of an author I've been researching for nearly an hour.

Two members of the US government standing at a lectern to announce that military forces have killed Osama bin Laden with the meme caption "Ladies and gentlemen, we got him".

Line drawing cartoon of a person handing an object to another saying "I made this". The second person replies "you made this?" They then hold the object alone for a moment and finally tell themselves, while looking down on this new object "I made this".

Followed immediately by...

Scene of two white men in dress shirts and ties behind a NASA lectern with one speaking into a microphone that "America can, should, must, and will blow up the Moon".

A still from the science fiction show Farscape. The crew of the ship Moya including D'Argo - a Luxon warrior Aeryn - a Sebacean Peacekeeper, Rygel - a Hynerian Dominar, Zhaan - a Delvian priestess, Chiana - a Nebari renegade.

I spent most of my childhood riding these things (particularly the electric ones, hence the cables on the roof) so I'm not the least bit surprised to hear that Edmonton squeezes every last penny out of their public transit assets.

Edmonton trolley bus, an electric bus manufactured in 1981-82 and which was in use until the spring of 2009. The bus was powered by overhead spring-loaded connecters which ran along wires suspended over the roads along the transit path.

"It's time to build."

Painting by Bruegel of the biblical tower of Babel, a large edifice is being constructed due to mankind's hubris but which ends in chaos and disharmony.

RexLibris@rexlibris· May 11

A still image of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. A white guy with sunglasses, his hair is high and pushed back and he has sideburns, moustache and goatee. He is wearing a black bowling shirt and chain necklaces. He is speaking as if to pontificate on one of the mysteries of life that he has unraveled using the insight gained through his many experiences.

Love May The Fourth Be With Day, it's my favourite pop culture celebration!

Photo of Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor Who - a man wearing a beaten old hat, thick multi-coloured scarf and brown coat, holds his head in an expression of absent-minded surprise.

Drop something from the 1960s?

RexLibris@rexlibris· Apr 10

This exists and it gives me great joy.

A Criterion Collection cover for the film Megaforce, showing a young Barry Bostwick in a beige unitard that matches his sandy brown hair and beard. He is on his knees in a desert landscape, head back and eyes closed as if in a state of exhaustion or despair.

The cop did the meme.

Four frames of a comic showing a young white male holding his chin thinking, then hanging a large red curtain, then painting monstrous faces on some cardboard cutouts, and in the final frame he is lying in a fetal position in front of the monsters and cardboard flames he has positioned so as to appear surrounded by danger.

This is a little niche, but when retired sports writer Terry Jones tweeted out his porn search...

A screenshot of a tweet from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Journal saying "japanese girl watches guy masturbate and cant [sic] resist..."
