It's National Fire Prevention Week.
An ebike battery with pretend fire coming out of it. The battery is full of popcorn. The text reads: The CPSC National Fire Prevention Week Ebike battery fire popcorn bucket*. Prevent fires deliciously and charge your ebike battery safely. Never charge the battery while you're sleeping or not home. Use only batteries and chargers approved by the bike manufacturer. *Not a real product.

I'm choosing to take AI boomer memes and laboriously recycle them into memes like we used to make them
An AI Bugs Bunny on a construction site with a trowel laying bricks. Taz and Foghorn Leghorn are behind him. He's saying "Oh, you thought you'd respond to me with a clever point? Well, I fucking hate everything about you so much that exposing you to extra ridicule. Garbage human being."

Underneath is the original AI slop caption saying "The real minimum wage is zero, and always has been," which is both a comma splice and incredibly confusing. Is this about slavery? Or unemployment?

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two friends are playing cards. There is a birdcage hanging behind them, just peaking out of frame. Friend 1 asks, “does your bird talk?” To which friend 2 replies, “Please… don’t.” Panel 2: friend 2 continues, head in hand, “he’s on this alpha male influencer thing right now.” Behind him, the bird - posed and wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket - is leaning forward on a tiny easy chair in his enclosure. Panel 3: with his hands clasped, easing back into his chair, the bird says, “stops eating seeds. Focus on your net worth.”

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."
