An easy pick for me but it captures the last decade so well. Lincoln looking at the noose/halo is what sends this one over from being just a funny picture into being genuine art. It should be in a gallery. It should be in the entryway to the White House.
This is peak pre-Trump democrat behavior. Final form self-aggrandizing. Truly it was her turn.
most iconic lib self own
It’s her turn.
i know we have an emoji of this one
Hahaahaahaha this pic is funny
Different era tbh. It’s as far away from now as the 80s was to them.
there are 2 eras of history: before i was born, and after. there was about 30 minutes in between where i was kinda doin both
for
this is literally true
one of the many ways we are similar. i only wish he could have been alive in the same era as me, but for obvious reasons that would be impossible.
the sad thing is that despite this being ages ago, and from a different era, maybe even a different zeitgeist, it still was definitive in shaping the current era.
history do be working like that

The good thing is that those of us who were adults during Bush Jr’s tenure can rightfully regard Trump & co. as the silly little clown show they really are. No amount of Democrat bleating about Trump being a horrific fascist about to murder everyone in the world is going to scare me. I lived through the era where the PNAC crowd had power. It’s like a being cancer survivor listening to someone else whine about a sprained ankle. Trump and his friends are nowhere near as terrifying as Rumsfeld, Bolton, Cheney, etc. were in the 2000s.
had this one in mind too
Absolute Classic
Defines Covid for me
Boomers at the gate

The woman in the center has haunted my nightmares since I first saw this…

I get real life zombie vibes off of her.
We thought the Dawn of the Dead remake being set in a mall was too on the nose

Did not know that was an emoji.
Everything is and will be an emoji on hexbear
Missing the noose, though :c
I love this photo from 2010 during student protests in UK. The crowd is screaming “off with their heads” and the looks on their face are fucking chefs kiss
iconic 21st century photo
RBG funeral pushups guy
Didn’t think anyone would even see this comment lol for brevity’s sake:
The video is so amwesome https://youtu.be/1dmmGJBaMbg?si=3qGTCSOyCoK4bnxM
The way it is dead silent and that he looked nervous that it was unsanctioned had me laughing like a hyena
That was her personal trainer and I bet they were fucking
Gross
Calcified lizards need love too
That was a beautiful moment
Rip George Floyd
Plenty of these are funny but this one hits
Seeing that precinct building on fire legitimately radicalized me. Snapped me back into wakefulness in a way, like suddenly I remembered that historical moments are indeed happening in the world I live in. I’d been feeling resigned to the idea that the misery in America is too calcified to do anything other than continue growing, and then FWOOSH a good old-fashioned fire comes along to make the world feel alive to me again
I was radicalized during the first BLM wave, so i gotta post this
Rest in power to this guy
Sick photo, yeah I was still a gamerbrained treatmonger during those days so I didn’t wind up paying much attention
Dudes got the best profile pic ever
No kidding, that really wins no contest
ngl, so many bangers came out of Jan 6

excuse me, SIR, but it was “many, many French FRIES.”
Lincoln considering the noose like the fucking meme is the cherry on top, never fails to make me laugh.

At first glance I thought this was a yearbook picture from like 2003 of two kids goofing off in math class
tbf one of them starter their career in math classes
Presinald Dumpf gazing into the eclipse. Also not pictured, Trump when RBG died
This is it for me. Really captures the idiotic self-sabotaging hubris of the declining American empire. Though the video does the moment slightly more justice because you get to see him sort of turn away and wince as the sun scorches his retinas. It’s perfect.
Is there a greater era-defining image than this one?
GORBY NOOOOOOOO
