Sir John smiled and held up a hand. “Enough,” he said. “Your point is well taken. Of course, I still have prejudices and—I suppose—I do tend to rationalize them, like most people.”

~ Robert Anton Wilson, Mask of the Illuminati

...Other people are sensualists, but I am a Romantic. Other people are paranoid, but I am merely careful. Other people are pigheaded fools, but I am merely a little set in my ways.”

The cover of Masks of the Illuminati by Robert Anton Wilson. The title appears in large red-and-yellow gradient letters against a background of storm clouds and lightning. Below the title, an intricate esoteric design features overlapping triangles forming a hexagram: a green serpent coils through it, emerging with an open mouth at the top. Beneath the serpent are stylized eyes and an inverted triangle containing the “All-Seeing Eye” motif, glowing amid the chaos. The visual theme combines occult symbolism and cosmic energy, echoing Wilson’s blend of mysticism, satire, and conspiracy.

A black-and-white stencil-style illustration of the Statue of Liberty reimagined as a punk icon. She wears a studded leather jacket covered in anarchist and punk symbols, including an anarchy “A” and a skull pin, with the word “PUNK” painted across the chest. The dripping paint effect gives it a graffiti aesthetic. Her torch burns above her, and the text “THE ANTIFA FOUNDER’S GIRLFRIEND” appears in stenciled letters tilted across the top right, blending political satire with rebellious street-art energy.

A cartoon drawing of an orange frog standing upright, dressed in a witch costume parody. The frog wears a tall black pointed hat, black cone-shaped pasties, black spiked underwear, and high heels. It holds a broom in one hand and a small orange pumpkin-shaped trick-or-treat bucket with a frown in the other. The text underneath reads “SLUT FOR OCTOBER” in handwritten all-caps letters. The illustration humorously combines spooky Halloween imagery with absurd, deadpan sexualized costume tropes.

The image shows a black bumper sticker with bold white capital letters that read: “EVERYTHING IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY WHEN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW ANYTHING WORKS.” The sticker is attached to the back of a dark-colored vehicle, with faint reflections of legs and pavement visible in the background. The message is a sarcastic jab at pseudoscience and conspiracy thinking, implying that ignorance often breeds suspicion.

Black-and-white surreal image of two women in old-fashioned Victorian-style dresses and hats standing on a beach, one holding an umbrella, the other raising her hand in greeting. Looming in the stormy sky above the ocean is a gigantic shadowy figure of Cthulhu, with wings spread and tentacles dangling. At the bottom, film-style captions read:
“-Good morning Mr. Cthulhu.
-Morning ladies.”
The juxtaposition of cosmic horror with casual seaside politeness gives the scene a darkly comedic, absurd vibe.

Cartoon image of Garfield’s unimpressed face floating against a light blue background. Beneath him, large text reads: “YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA.” Smaller text continues below in a rambling but sincere tone: “BUT NEITHER AM I, I AM ONLY POINTING THIS OUT SO WE CAN KEEP BEING VIGILANT ABOUT WHAT WE CONSUME AND NOT HAND-WAIVE AWAY CRITICISM. I THINK THIS IS ULTIMATELY A GROUP EFFORT AND WE SHOULD BE LESS DISMISSIVE & MORE DIDACTIC ABOUT THIS.” The contrast between Garfield’s lethargic expression and the earnest, wordy message gives the image an ironic, meme-like punch.

Black-and-white photo of an owl wearing a tall top hat and a monocle, standing with a dignified but mischievous expression. Next to it, bold white text on a black background reads: “IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE WEIRD, BE CONFIDENT ABOUT IT.” The overall vibe is surreal and whimsical, like Victorian fashion colliding with internet meme wisdom.

The Goddess passes Judgement: The Verdict

The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz

Johfra Bosschart, Dutch modern artist (1919-1998)

www.odiliacarmen.com/2016/02/the-...

Black-and-white illustration by Johfra Bosschart, dense with esoteric symbolism. At the center, a serene goddess sits enthroned in a grand chariot. Her headdress blossoms into a fan of cobra heads, each crowned with a hypnotic eye-flower, evoking both danger and illumination. The chariot is pulled by unseen force, adorned with winged sphinx-like figures and a large sun-wheel marked with a human face. Two attendants in Renaissance-style garb carry torches before her, leading the procession. Above and behind, flames hang suspended in the air like spiritual lanterns. The scene takes place within a vast arched temple, guarded by statues of angels with raised wings. A crowd of mortals gazes up from below, watching in awe as the goddess, embodying Judgement, issues her silent and unyielding verdict.

A three-circle Venn diagram with overlapping sections: the yellow circle says “hot wizard,” the red circle says “goth vampire,” and the blue circle says “mad scientist.” The central overlapping area, which would normally show what all three have in common, is covered by a black rectangle with glitchy neon-green text that reads “ERIS DISCORDIA.” This positions Eris, goddess of Discord, as the chaotic synthesis of wizard, vampire, and scientist archetypes.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post from an account called End Stage Capitalism. The post is written in bullet-point style, recapping a chain of satirical, exaggerated political events involving factions of MAGA, liberals, and "the left." The sequence describes absurd actions such as "Uber-MAGA assassinates regular MAGA," "MAGA start making bomb threats against HBCUs," "Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air," and "The Charlie Kirk memorial turns into a gay sex orgy." A recurring punchline is "the left laughs again," highlighting how the left reacts to each escalation. It ends with MAGA’s own doxxing app leaking their members' personal info, again followed by “the left laughs again,” and concludes with the rhetorical question: "Did i leave anything out?"

Gaps can be dangerous. And thrilling. ;)

A lined spiral notebook lies open, with a handwritten quote in dramatic Gothic-style calligraphy. The quote reads:
“I’m not an atheist because in 1996, I got my tongue stuck in a tractor-feed printer. That doesn’t happen in a random universe.”
It is attributed below in equally ornate script to “—The Good Reverend Roger.” The note is centered on a dark surface, contrasting the playful absurdity of the text with the gravitas of the handwriting style, evoking peak Discordian energy.

Counterpoint: yes it is

Screenshot of an opinion piece from a news outlet. The section header reads “Opinion” with a lightbulb icon, and the byline is “The Editorial Board.” The headline says: “A U.S. return to Bagram isn’t a bad idea.” Subhead: “The abandoned airfield in Afghanistan was once a symbol of American power. Trump wants it back.” Timestamp reads “Yesterday at 2:06 p.m. CT.” At the bottom is a button indicating an estimated 3-minute read. Someone has added text commentary under the image that says: “Counterpoint: yes it is.”

3/ The one speech most know from MLK is probably the least interesting or consequential thing he said.

Kirk is probably grosser than you imagine. Just go educate yourself and tell your friends and family to just go look for themselves too.
