The image is a meme divided into three panels, each with a distinct background color and text. The top panel features a person in a black judicial robe with a red tie, set against a purple background. The text reads: "John Roberts July 1, 2024: Authored the decision granting Trump immunity for official acts." The middle panel shows the same person in a similar pose, with the text: "John Roberts May 12, 2025: The rule of law is endangered." The bottom panel includes a close-up of a hand with the index finger pointing upwards, against a brown background. The text reads: "THIS SHIT IS WHY GOD'S LAST NAME IS DAMMIT." The meme humorously contrasts the judicial decisions made by John Roberts, suggesting a perceived inconsistency in his rulings.

The image features a vibrant background with wavy, overlapping stripes in the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. The background has a textured appearance, resembling a paper-like surface. Overlaid on this colorful background is white text that reads: "People's nasty reactions toward pride month are the exact reasons why we have a pride month." The text is centered and occupies a significant portion of the image, making it the focal point. The overall composition emphasizes the message conveyed by the text against the colorful backdrop.

The text overlay reads, "HEY, IF JESUS STOOD ON A RIVER, DO YOU THINK HE'D STAND STILL OR MOVE DOWNSTREAM LIKE ON A CONVEYOR BELT?" The bottom panel shows three men sitting around a table in an office setting. The man in the white shirt is reclining with his legs up on the table, while the other two men are seated, one in a blue shirt and the other in a black suit.

The image features a black background with white and pink text. The text is arranged in two distinct sections. The top section reads, "WITH ENOUGH CAFFEINE I CAN," followed by the word "RULE" in large white letters, which is crossed out with a pink scribble. Below this, the text continues with "the world." The bottom section, in smaller white text, states, "dress myself and use my grownup manners." The overall layout is simple, with the text centrally aligned, creating a clear and direct message.

Mitsubishi debuts EV battery swap network for cars AND trucks
Good to see this, I think it makes the most sense on commercial vehicles as their range is often determined by the number of packs which are either between the frame rails or hanging off the sides like a fuel tank, in a fairly basic package shape compared to cars.

in reply to π΄ Seph π πΎ • • •The image features a black background with white text and two thinking face emojis. The text reads: "WHO REMEMBERS WHEN WOOD SHOP, AUTO MECHANICS, TYPING & HOME ECONOMICS WERE COMMON COURSES IN MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL." The emojis are positioned on either side of the text, with one on the left and one on the right, both with their hands on their chins, suggesting contemplation. The text is in all capital letters, emphasizing the message. The overall design is simple, with a clear contrast between the black background and the white text, making the message stand out.
