Picture from Star Trek TOS. You can see Sulu and Chekhov sitting at their stations. In the middle is the big screen, which shows Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair among the stars. 
Caption reads: "In Star Trek, the Enterprise finds Abraham Lincoln hundreds of light years from Earth, still trying to put more distance between himself and the modern Republican party."

From here: blog.avas.space/merz-is-bad/
Woman pointing at the name of a public swimming pool called "Merz-Bad". The pun is that Merz is the name of the current German chancellor and the German "Bad" for bath or pool obviously is the same word as "bad" as in the opposite of "good" in English.

Mit „politischen Mitte retten“ ist es wie mit „Demokratie retten“: Wähler werden das in stressigen, teuren Zeiten kaum als wichtigsten Grund für ihre Wahlentscheidung nehmen. Damit gewinnt man keine Wahlen.

Women didn't ban men from education and property.
Women didn't write laws controlling men's
