I posted this in 2018...sadly, it's once again relevant.

Six-panel Pearls Before Swine comic. Pig stands peacefully in a flower-filled meadow. Mouse asks what Pig is doing. Pig says he stopped following the news because it made him anxious and depressed, so he turned off his phone, TV, and computer to sit in his peaceful meadow every day. Mouse asks if Pig knows what's going on in the world. Pig replies that he is happy in his meadow and doesn't need to know more. In the next panel, a huge nuclear explosion erupts in the background with the word “KABOOM.” In the final panel, Pig calmly says, “I’m hoping that won’t affect my meadow.”

A six-panel Pearls Before Swine comic by Stephan Pastis. Pig stands contentedly in a green meadow dotted with flowers. Mouse asks what he is doing. Pig explains that he can’t take the news anymore because it makes him anxious and depressed, so he has turned off his phone, TV, and computer and plans to spend every day sitting in his peaceful meadow. Mouse asks whether Pig knows what is happening in the world. Pig responds that he is happy in his meadow and doesn’t need to know anything else. Suddenly, a giant mushroom cloud appears behind them with the sound effect “KABOOM.” Despite the apparent catastrophe, Pig remains calm and says, “I’m hoping that won’t affect my meadow.” The humor comes from Pig’s extreme detachment from world events even as disaster unfolds nearby.

Post a picture of yourself from the past that puts you in a light people on here wouldn’t expect.

This looks like a candid, slightly chaotic stage moment at what’s probably a live music performance.

A man is playing an electric guitar while wearing a Viking-style helmet with white horns and some faux fur on the sides. He’s also in a bright, multicolored tie-dye T-shirt, which adds to the playful, almost psychedelic vibe. His expression is exaggerated and humorous—eyes wide (with a bit of red-eye from the camera flash) and tongue sticking out—like he’s hamming it up mid-song.

There’s a microphone to his left, suggesting he might be singing or at least near the vocalist position, and the background is dark, typical of a stage or small venue with minimal lighting. The guitar strap is visible across his shoulder, and he’s actively fretting the instrument, so this isn’t posed—it’s captured mid-performance.

Overall, it feels like a fun, informal gig—maybe a cover band or a jam session—where the performer is leaning into theatrics and personality rather than taking things too seriously.

This was from FB memories from 9 years ago. Still true today.

The image is a simple quote graphic with a mustard-yellow background and black text. The text is centered and reads:

“If you want to go bomb somebody, there’s remarkably little discussion about how much it might cost. But when you have a discussion about whether or not we can assist suffering people, then suddenly we become very cost-conscious.”

At the bottom, the quote is attributed to:
– Andrew J. Bacevich, American historian

I think he might like the new bed on my desk.

This image shows a relaxed, cozy scene centered around a sleeping cat.

A brown-and-black striped tabby cat is curled up tightly in a plush, circular pet bed. The bed is fluffy and light gray, with long, soft fibers that make it look very comfortable. The cat has its head tucked down into the bed, with its face mostly hidden, and one front leg stretched out along the edge—classic “deep nap” posture.

The bed is placed on a wooden desk or table. Behind the cat, there’s a rack of networking or audio equipment with visible cables and ports, suggesting a home office or tech workspace. A red-lit sign reading “Voodoo Lab” is visible in the rack. To the left, there’s a bookshelf with books, and to the right, some stacked items and papers.

Overall, the contrast is amusing and warm: a peaceful, sleeping cat nestled right in the middle of what looks like a busy, equipment-filled workspace.

I wish I knew the origin for this.

The image is a text-based graphic on a light, slightly textured background (kind of like paper or parchment). The text is centered and written in a thin, modern sans-serif font, mostly in uppercase.

It reads:

“WE LIVE IN A CULTURE WHERE EVERYONE THINKS THAT ‘I’M ENTITLED TO MY OPINION’ IMPLIES THAT ALL OPINIONS ARE EQUAL, AND THAT IGNORANCE IS JUST AS GOOD AS SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE. NO, SOMETIMES YOU’RE JUST FUCKING WRONG.”

The final line (“FUCKING WRONG”) is larger and more prominent than the rest, emphasizing the message. The overall tone is blunt and critical, pushing back against the idea that all opinions deserve equal weight regardless of evidence or expertise.

It's an older meme, but it check out.

This image is a parody of a TripAdvisor-style webpage, themed around the fictional Forest Moon of Endor from Star Wars.

Overall layout

The page mimics the look of TripAdvisor (here humorously labeled “trapadvisor”).

Navigation tabs across the top include things like Hotels, Flights, Holiday Rentals, and sci-fi themed categories like Outer Rim Territories, Endor System, and Endor Tourism.

Main content

The title reads: “Forest Moon of Endor.”

The main image shows a dense forest of tall trees (resembling redwoods), with an Imperial AT-ST walker standing among them—iconic to the Endor battle scene.

On the right side are smaller thumbnail images, including views of Endor and forest scenes.

Reviews section

It shows “215 reviews from our community.”

A ratings breakdown is displayed:

Excellent: 142
Very good: 60
Average: 10
Poor: 2
Terrible: 1

A highlighted review is from a user named “AdmiralAckbar.”

The review title: “It’s a trap!”

This is what I think every single time I see the refs at the monitors during a game. Bonus Spaceballs: After last night's UA/Ark game, I thought about finding an Arizona team pic from the game and captioning "I'm surrounded by assholes!". Ark showed the least sportsmanship I've ever seen in a game

This is a humorous, edited image that combines a real sports broadcast moment with a scene from a movie for comedic effect.

Top half:

A basketball game is being officiated.

Two referees (numbers 26 and 43) are standing courtside.

One referee is looking at a monitor while the other appears to be reviewing something—likely a replay.

The scoreboard in the corner shows a tied game: Brooklyn (BKN) 105 – Charlotte (CHA) 105, in the 4th quarter with 24 seconds left.

The setting suggests a tense, end-of-game replay review.

Bottom half:

A scene from the sci-fi comedy movie Spaceballs.

The characters (including Dark Helmet) are watching a screen in a control room.

On their screen, they are literally watching the same scene that appears in the top half—creating a “watching themselves watching” joke.

Weapons on choice lately.

This image shows a tidy music corner with a retro-gaming vibe.

• Wall art: A large framed print features a 3×3 grid of colorful pixelated aliens in the style of classic Space Invaders. Each square has a different bright background color (red, green, blue, orange, yellow, purple, etc.), giving it a pop-art feel.

• Amplifier: Below the artwork sits a guitar combo amplifier. It has a light turquoise/seafoam exterior and a decorative front grille cloth patterned with stylized ocean waves and pink cherry blossoms. The control panel across the top shows multiple knobs and switches, with a power light glowing green. A cable and small device rest on top.

• Guitar: To the right of the amp is a natural-finish electric guitar (PRS-Santana style body) on a stand. It has a warm honey-colored Korina wood grain, two humbucker pickups, and a tremolo bridge.

I didn't ONLY buy this for the graphics on the pedal, but it certainly didn't hurt as part of the temptation.

Main object

The pedal is a Catalinbread “Katzenkönig” distortion/fuzz pedal.

It has a bright yellow enclosure with bold graphics:
- A black silhouette of a cat wearing a crown
- Red circular background elements
- The word “KATZENKÖNIG” in red across the cat
- “catalinbread” branding near the bottom

Four black control knobs are visible at the top:
- FILTER
- VOLUME
- INPUT
- (The fourth knob label is partially obscured but typically “GAIN” on this model)

A metal footswitch sits near the bottom center.

Surroundings:

The pedal is sitting on a soft black pouch (likely the pedal’s storage bag).

Behind it is an open cardboard box with colorful psychedelic-style artwork on the side.

A white rope-like drawstring from the pouch is visible.

Some reflective packaging material or plastic can be seen inside the box.

The surface underneath appears to be a tabletop with a dark area and a textured gray section.
