Terrible news, Victorians.
Screenshot of the website that handles custom number plates in Victoria (the Australian one, not the Canadian one). It's telling us that the number plate "FURRY" is unavailable either because someone already has it or because it's on their "naughty list".

Yeah mate I think they mean you too.
A long-haired miniature dachshund on a lead standing in front of a fence. He’s looking slightly quizzical.  The fence has a hand-written sign on it. The sign reads:

Please
do not pee
on the wall
and fence!!! 
Do not pee!!!!
Do not pee!!!!

OpenAI's latest PR release.
Based on a previous meme template, a badly drawn figure is at a badly drawn computer. The figure says to the computer "put on a black hoodie and say i'm in". The computer responds "I'M IN". The figure says "oh my god".

I just noticed the distinct similarity in rough design between Count Binface's helmet and Klek de Poitrine's head. Same species of alien, perhaps?
Count Binface. Of note is that the "visor" of his helmet lights up, while his "mouth" is at human eye level.Klek de Poitrine, of the band Angine de Poitrine. Of note is that his eyes light up, and his "mouth" visibly has rather human-looking eyes looking out through it.

The Distracted Girlfriend meme. The guy being ogled has his head replaced with a golden egg, and the other, we could say "unvalued", guy has been mostly replaced by a goose.

"Draw me like one of your French pups..."
A miniature dachshund puppy lying on his back on someone's lap. His tummy is facing away from the camera but he's looking back at the camera over his shoulder in a way that could read as "flirtatious" in humans.

"Peanut butter? Never touch the stuff..."
A miniature dachshund puppy. He's looking at the camera. He's also licking his nose because there's peanut butter on it.

Introducing the Skritch Gremlin.
A miniature dachshund puppy. He's lying on his back on a bed, which has led to his ears flopping outwards which along with a somewhat wide-eyed expression and some visible teeth make him look very gremlin-y. He's also getting tummy skritches.

"Sir, are you aware that you're a dog?"
A miniature dachshund puppy. He's looking off to the side and seems completely calm.The same puppy but now he's looking straight at the camera and looks concerned.

A chart comparing the rise in support for One Nation (an Australian right-wing political party) and ownership of air fryers. It is disturbingly correlated.

Clearly you've imported this excellent program from UK's COVID response:
Screenshot of a new website headline which reads "Eat Out to Help Out sees Newcastle the busiest it has been since March lockdown".

A sub-head reads "Rishi Sunak's Half-price meal offer is proving a much-need(sic) boost to Newcastle and Sunderland restaurants".

Some of the kids were watching Wicked last night and I walked in just at the point were Elphaba has got her broomstick and is trying to convince Galinda to go with her and I had to make this.
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) from the movie Wicked, holding her broomstick and looking back over her shoulder. Text has been overlaid that reads "GET ON LOSER, WE'RE DEFYING GRAVITY".

Gift ideas for @andrewhickey.500songs.com... hachyderm.io/@andrewharve...
Screenshot of a post from a Mastodon instance. The post reads "Finally installed one of the gifts I gave my wife for Christmas: the most musician-coded key storage solution."

The attached image shows a panel mounted to a wall with four 1/4" audio jack sockets. In three of the sockets are keyrings that attached to 1/4" audio jacks so they can be stored by inserting the jack into the socket.

He looks like he's daring you to try.
Screen shot of an article thumbnail from The Guardian. The headline reads:

Hello from the Moral Chitar Builders Warehouse.
A store front. Part of the sign with the business name has fallen off, exposing an older sign beneath. The text from both signs has lined up perfectly so as to create a whole new business name, only spoiled by the colours of the signs being completely different.

If these two told me they'd seen me across the billiard room and really dug my vibe, the word "maybe" would cease to exist.
A still from the 100% stone cold banger of a film "Clue" from 1985 in which Lesley Ann Warren (as Miss Scarlet) and Tim Curry (as Wadsworth, the Butler, who Buttles) look, quite frankly, smoking hot.

Tim Wilson, back to being the Member for Goldstein, standing in front of a crowd of supporters looking... well he'd probably say "determined" but I'd say "miffed".  Captions have been placed over the image. Top left we have "IS IT ME?" and then along the bottom we have "NO, IT"S THE PARTY ROOM THAT IS WRONG".
