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.

Was really curious about your take on this. One of the only things I've shared recently that have gotten through to some right-leaning folks.

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.

2/ Go take at look them in their own words. The less you know about either the more stark the lies told about them will strike you, and the more you will learn and understand about how you are conditioned to love your operssors and to not seek solidarity with the opressed.

1/ The only way Charlie Kirk and MLK are similar is that both got whitewashed after their death for political purposes.

A black background with the “Straw Hat Pirates” Jolly Roger flag from One Piece: a white cartoon skull with big black eye sockets, a small round nose hole, and a wide square-toothed grin. Two bones cross diagonally behind it, and the skull wears a yellow straw hat with a red band. Recently, this flag has been waved by Gen Z demonstrators in Nepal, symbolizing resistance to censorship and corruption, borrowing the anime’s themes of freedom and rebellion.

$Psychedelic-style meme artwork showing a repeating fractal of stone-like faces stretching diagonally across the image, gradually dissolving into the background. The color palette is teal, blue, and muted green, giving a dreamlike aquatic vibe. Surreal distortions make the faces look like they’re phasing through space and time. Overlaid text at the top reads, “Nice argument,” and at the bottom, “Too bad I’m already slipping into another dimension.” Generated with Bluesky AltText, a CustomGPT.$

So here I stand, a ghost with a pen sharper than any bayonet. And I say plainly: this administration is proof that necromancy works—they’ve resurrected every bad idea, clothed it in red tape, and called it governance.

In Amended Obituaries I wrote: “Death has no dominion over a rascal—he is a rascal still.” Don’t mistake a coffin for canonization. A throne may gild a villain, but the grave does not baptize him.
