Post a meme made by you. (for a discussion on ontological principles and methods)
Keanu Reeves as Neo in the Matrix, he is plugged in to a server where knowledge and expertise, such as kung fu, is directly uploaded to his mind. The caption reads "I know Foucault".

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula
A shot from the series What We Do In The Shadows. The image shows Colin Robinson, a middle-aged white male with pattern baldness wearing a brown cardigan over a white shirt with matching brown tie, holding a coffee cup amidst a bland, cubicle-office setting. He is speaking to a co-worker Evie Russell, wearing a female interpretation of a very similar wardrobe. They are both energy vampires who feed off co-workers in their office environment.

Christopher Lee playing Lord Summerisle in the 1973 film Wicker Man wherein a rural island off the cost of England ritually sacrifices a human every year to ensure a bountiful apple harvest. Lee is wearing a full, if rather dated, kilt complete with sporran, hose and long-sleeve coat.

Far Side cartoon of a scientist exiting a time machine with a very large rectal thermometer as he cautiously approaches the hind end of a very large dinosaur. The caption below reads "an instant later, both Professor Waxman and his time machine are obliterated, leaving the cold-blooded/warm-blooded dinosaur debate still unresolved.

The scene from Steven Spielberg's Jaws where the shark has just made itself seen to the audience and Roy Scheider says "we're going to need a bigger boat". A man wearing glasses and smoking a cigarette is looking at the camera in a cold, startled expression. Standing on the rear deck of a small boat, he has just been throwing chum into the ocean to attract a killer shark, not realizing the immense size of Spielberg's mechanical marine monstrosity.

What's your favorite Bible verse? Wrong answers only.
Beavis and Butthead still with a caption that reads "Beavis, this sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before". Two unkempt and questionable teens sit on a torn red couch in a dilapitated room, one wearing a dark AC/DC tshirt, the other a blue Metallica tshirt. They suffer from cognitive and physical circumstances as yet undisclosed in the DSM.

"Oh God, Oh Jesus Christ!"
Edward Woodward in the 1973 Wicker Man film as he's about to be put inside the giant wicker man effigy and burned alive as human sacrifice. A middle aged man in a white ceremonial robe is being pushed over the crest of a hill, his eyes land on the massive wicker statue and he exclaims a prayer to his Lord, "Oh God! Oh Jesus Christ!"

Michael Caine playing Scrooge in A Muppet Christmas Carol. A stern-looking man in Victorian-era top hat and black cloak with a white collar peeking through. The camera is close-in so that his stern, cold stare - looking at something slightly off-camera - is striking.

Share someone who looks stylish wearing a belt.
Scene from the cartoon series The Mighty Hercules from the 1960s. A cartoon muscle-man with a light blue over-the-shoulder toga with a distressingly provocative short hem wearing a black belt with the letter "H" emblazoned on the front stands next to his diminutive demi-equestrian sidekick, Newt, with a paternal hand on the young centaur's shoulder.

Best Star Trek Captain, wrong answers only?
Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society in the scene where he introduces the Walt Whitman phrase "O Captain, My Captain". A man in a dress shirt and tie stands his legs astride two desks like a Greek Colossus, in a mid-century classroom filled with young men looking up at him. His hands are in his pockets as the tries to instill a passion for writing, poetry, literature, art and life.

Me to media and representatives:
A young blonde woman leans forward with an intense, judgmental look on her face telling her subservient friend to stop trying to initiate a catch-phrase because she is not going to let it gain popularity. The meme caption reads "stop trying to make Mitch happen".

Given his affection for wood, splinters likely carry a lot of emotional baggage for him.
A man, Pierre Poilievre, in a plaid shirt is looking up at a wooden post in an old wooden building. He is trying for all he is worth to take on the appearance of someone who is familiar with traditional woodworking craftsmanship but instead provides the impression that he is woefully out of his depth.

Image from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where the principal doubts a phone call saying Cameron will be absent in order to attend his grandmother's funeral so he asks the parents to show him the corpse.

A nighttime view of the main library branch of the Edmonton Public Library, the Stanley A. Milner library, a cubist-inspired modern building that strikes upwards at an angle in an almost-threatening, knifelike gesture. It's industrial-steel-brutalism has been compared to a military vehicle, earning it the nickname ThinkTank, amongst others.

Caine wore it better.
An advert of Michael Caine wearing Bloody Large Glasses by Michael Caine where a man in a brown sports coat and taupe turtleneck wears a pair of absurdly large glasses whilst holding a partially finished cigar. An advertisement that encapsulates the 1970s aesthetic in a calmly distressing fashion.

America in 1932 vs America in 2026
A lineup of men sitting on a steel girder high atop New York having lunch during the construction of a skyscraper, photo taken in 1932.

This is brilliant, hence re-posting with alt-text for everyone.
The end scene of the original Planet of the Apes where Charlton Heston realizes this bizarre planet is actually a post-apocalyptic Earth. A man is doubled-over in agony on a beach, behind him stands an oblivious woman holding the reins of an impassive horse. In place of a ruined Statue of Liberty though, the desolate beach has only the partially-unearthed ruins of the UFC fighting stage currently erected on the White House lawn by Donald Trump to celebrate his birthday and America's 250th anniversary.

THERE ARE FOUR EMILIOS!
Patrick Stewart playing Captain Picard in Star Trek the Next Generation: a man, unshaven, sleep-deprived and thin due to torture, yells at the camera that he is unwavering in his knowledge that there are four lights, which is true, when his captors want him to capitulate by saying that there are five, which is a lie.

Guinan, from Star Trek the Next Generation. Whoopi Goldberg played the character Guinan, seen here wearing an orange fleece futuristic top and her character's signature wide-rimmed hat. She is smiling introspectively at the camera. Guinan famously said she was always attracted to bald men after a bald man had been particularly kind to her once.

Dreeshen might not be recognizable in this photo with the sunglasses, so here's a better photo to help readers recognize him.
Devin Dreeshen, Alberta MP and cabinet minister from Red Deer, seen here before election to office celebrating Trump's election night win in 2016 at the Trump headquarters wearing a red Make America Great Again ballcap and holding what looks like a cup of vodka with ice aloft in toast. Readers may also recall that Dreeshen was revealed to often drink at work in the legislature to the extent that there were harassment  claims against him from government staff, an accusation he later boasted about in government publicity photos.

I spent most of my childhood riding these things (particularly the electric ones, hence the cables on the roof) so I'm not the least bit surprised to hear that Edmonton squeezes every last penny out of their public transit assets.
Edmonton trolley bus, an electric bus manufactured in 1981-82 and which was in use until the spring of 2009. The bus was powered by overhead spring-loaded connecters which ran along wires suspended over the roads along the transit path.

The cop did the meme.
Four frames of a comic showing a young white male holding his chin thinking, then hanging a large red curtain, then painting monstrous faces on some cardboard cutouts, and in the final frame he is lying in a fetal position in front of the monsters and cardboard flames he has positioned so as to appear surrounded by danger.

Scene from Star Trek episode where people put on a headset that has a game overlaying your vision, designed to make you susceptible to mind control. In the image two funnels await small discs while the crew look directly down at the camera. When the discs enter the funnel you receive a hit of dopamine to your brain, very Pavlovian-like.

This is how I access Bluesky.
Two men stand in front of a large computer - called an Interocitor - with triangular screen in a lab reminiscent of 1950s pseudo-scientific theatrics. On the screen is the image of a man in a suit, smiling, with dignified white hair and a prominent forehead that reveals him to the audience as an alien despite it being entirely overlooked by the main characters. The image is from the film This Island Earth from 1955.

Young Laurence Olivier, with deep dark eyes beneath a broad brow, his bangs hang partially over one side, a cleft chin and notable jaw line, he is portraying the troubled, spiteful, dangerously emotional Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights. A young Henry Cavill, dark eyes beneath a broad brow, with cleft chin and notable jawline, his dark hair rebels impertinently on his forehead despite other attempts to dress in the manner of a gentleman.
