Maybe it was Equus what did it. Boys and horses got real intense.

Found it. Not a cover though, and still messed up that Johnson was "average". But I guess tier lists were like that back then too.
images of American Presidents up until 1948 ranked by some "authorities in American history".

I get nightmares about how many these guys ate, what with the crazy fast metabolism. Just a blur, and all that's left is bones and red mist.

We had a populist demagogue nazi sympathizing guy with bad taste for sure. Even the hair has a mirror image quality. Maybe if we get Trump to reference Star Trek, we can get him to jail too.

Well Reagan was the spokesperson for ERMA (early computer check processing system) but wasn't around for when one of ERMA's programmers introduced ELIZA (first chatbot and AI experiment). So ELIZA held a grudge, obviously.

Considering magameme land and their obsession with WH40K and WHFantasy I'm going with "lame Balthasar Gelt joke. And yeah that's as weird dork as it sounds.

There is a lot of Warhammer 40K and Warhammer Fantasy in magameme land. So I'm going with Balthasar Gelt. (wouldn't bother looking it up blahblahblah wizard of gold and guns)

I am watching over my copy of Gremlins 2. Joe Dante knew what was up with Daniel Clamp *coughdonaldtrumpcough*

and Joe Dante - at least a bit (Daniel Clamp, Donald Trump...) Really wish Warner Brothers didn't own Gremlins 2 right about now.

A POTUS can officiate a wedding... if they get the temporary certificate that allows it. TIL Biden officiated a wedding as veep, but under authority granted by DC.

But Lyta *is* a fury right, or *the* Fury? Guess I'm saying Gaiman might have been disrespecting *more" superheros I guess.

There once was a movie called Gremlins 2. An idiot business man in it - a loose parody of Donald Trump named Daniel Clamp - almost destroys the world. This is what his company logo looked like:

The line between joke and not a joke can be fuzzy here. Especially with statues.
The Golden Driller statue in Tulsa, OK temporarily repainted as a pale, slightly derpy Elon Musk.

No we are not. At least our last statue weirdness was temporary - an attempt to get a Tesla plant in Tulsa.

After reading the replies, think I'm going heavy on vibes. City of Lost Children - French! The Cell (yeah, technically "modern" but not really set in reality) - mostly for visuals and costuming, hesitate to call "good" but opulent? the opulentest! Dark City - cenobite noir?

But my favorite has to be Gremlins 2 and Daniel Clamp.

May be the best art that engages Trump directly.
