Shaggy from Scooby-Doo hanging his head and saying "Every mystery we solve brings me closer to the realization that the only monsters in this world are pathetic old men trying to steal as much money as they can."

Motherfuckin' Nightcrawler The cover to Uncanny X-Men 204, which looks kinda like an '80s-era movie poster where Nightcrawler is romancing a sexy lady in the main image while driving a roadster away from attacking biplanes and punching out bad guys in secondary images along the bottom. Caption: "Lights... Camera... Murder!"

If you read one issue of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels, you should really read the other three as well.

But if you only have time for one, make it issue 2. It is about the Civil Rights Movement, it is about the Red Scare, and it is about Right Now.
The cover of Marvels 2. The X-Men's Angel, a teenage boy with wings wearing the team's original yellow-and-black uniform, is flying upward with a young girl who is clearly a mutant in his arms. Below them, a mob of fine upstanding Americans is pointing, throwing rocks, waving baseball bats, and carrying signs that say "Satan's Children" and "Devils".

If I have to live with this in my head, so do all of you.
A post reading "If you think about it, Peter Parker created the OnlyFans business model by selling photos of himself in action (as Spider-Man) to an older man who was obsessed with him."

My "Most Used Words" from that Bluesky harvest thing. It's quite clear that I swear an awful lot. The two biggest words are "fuck" and "fucking". You can also see "shit", "bitch", "christ", "bullshit", and "fucked".

The trifecta!
"A progressive U.S. Senate candidate in Maine, who has already apologized for earlier misogynistic and racially insensitive remarks and said he did not realize that a tattoo on his chest resembled a Nazi SS emblem, is again under scrutiny, this time for anti-LGBTQ+ comments."

On its birthday, share one image from your favourite #TNG episode
"The Measure of a Man." Picard and Data sit in the ad hoc courtroom, looking at Commander Maddox. Picard's expression is contemplative, Data's blank (naturally). We can't see Maddox's face.

Panel 1: Jake (Andy Samberg) looking through the window of a car. Caption: I love Dragon Quest Panel 2: Jess (Zooey Deschanel) sitting at the wheel of that car with a skeptical look on her face.

Reminds me of a bit from Pratchett:
“It's amazing how good governments are, given their track records in almost every other field, at hushing up things like alien encounters. One reason may be that the aliens themselves are too embarrassed to talk about it. It's not known why most of the space-going races of the universe want to undertake rummaging in Earthling underwear as a prelude to formal contact. But representatives of several hundred races have taken to hanging out, unsuspected by one another, in rural corners of the planet and, as a result of this, keep on abducting other would-be abductees. Some have been in fact abducted while waiting to carry out an abduction on a couple of aliens trying to abduct the aliens who were, as a result of misunderstood instructions, trying to form cattle into circles and mutilate crops. The planet Earth is now banned to all alien races until they can compare notes and find out how many, if any, real humans they have actually got. It is gloomily suspected that there is only one - who is big, hairy, and has very large feet. The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.”

Men don’t dress like this, and that’s the real issue.
Dean Stockwell as Al from Quantum Leap. He's wearing a bright goldenrod suit (with matching gold shoes), a brown trenchcoat, and a tie that defies description. He's got a cigar in his mouth and is leaning against the side of a house with big hanging shutters.
