I believe this came from an account that posts AI images
This looks like it may be a processed image, where cloud elevations are artificially enhanced to show detail. Might also be a false-color image, again done to show specific aspects of the clouds.
Or it might just be AI slop.

graphic saying "antifa is trending again so I figured I'd show how simple it is to understand what they actually stand for. Fascists don't seem to like it when I do this lol"
there are two columns, one with a nazi flag labeled "fascists" and one with the antifa logo labeled "anti-fascists"
under the fascist column:
hate: Blacks, Asians, Jews, Immigrants, Socialists, Unions, Asylum Seekers, Etc.
under the anti-fascist column:
hate: fascists.

Screenshot from Animal Crossing New Horizons. It is meant to be me but way cuter of course. I have oversized spectacles on, a white tuxedo jacket with black trim, black bow tie and black converse. I am surrounded by purple flowers and behind me is a small replica of the moon.
Jessica has had Animal Crossing for a few years now. There's only a single console, but the other day she had the bright idea of adding me as a character.
She signs in and cosplays as me. I have little interest in playing the game but do enjoy spectating and getting some updates. I have had a dabble at fishing, and am interested in padding out my wardrobe as well as doing up my house.
Jessica also signs in as herself and then sends me money and gifts. It's all pretty adorable.
Today I had an outfit that was quite Chairman Mao/Kim Jong Un

Oppan Gangnam Style!
I love the idea of you playing it just as a fishing game. 99% of my times spent playing GTA was treating it as a simple open world driving game.
But even so, none of my characters were quite as dapper as this! Looking sharp!

Photo of a young man with his hair sticking up, looking consternated and holding a "Baby on board" sign of the sort people stick to their car windows in fruitless hope that bad drivers will suddenly become good drivers for their sake. It is intended to be bilingual but the French reads "Bébé sur tableau". So while Anglophones are told there is a baby in the car, Francophones are told there is a baby on a plank.
Maybe better would be "Bébé à bord" or "Bébé dans l'auto" but my pathetic recollection of a long-ago high school education level in French is not enough for me to know what would be appropriate.

Dark stone-like cast made from a doorway, featuring carved animals , vines, etc
'Cast of a Doorway and Column, About 1050-70 CE
The swirling patterns and mysterious iconography of the doorway and column from the wooden stave church at Urnes (Norway) fascinate and intrigue, although their exact iconographic meaning remains unknown. The designs may derive from illuminated manuscripts, or possibly textiles.'

But mostly memories of my dad discussing the cost to benefit ratio of this venture. He literally went to the local IGA and bought five packets for fifty cents to make his point.
Also. I'm having yet another "Old man Shouting at Clouds" moment because no keyboard I've used for decades has a cents key on it.

David stands amongst architectural castings of church spires and other stuff
Cast of Michaelangelo's David, about 5 metres tall. Here it is in one of the statue galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
They really know how to do museums here.

I visited there after taking Roman Archaeology in college and I was SO CONFUSED about why Trajan's Column was there (not grasping their love for and dedication to making plaster casts of things & displaying them). I have fond feelings for the V&A though cause they were open Friday nights.

Infographic titled "URLs Preserved in the Wayback Machine" based on a dataset of 5.4 million URLs. It shows 26% of web pages are dead and 74% are still alive. Of the total, 10% have vanished completely, 18% are endangered (not yet preserved), 16% have been restored through the Wayback Machine, and 56% are preserved. The visual uses a flow-style diagram to show how preservation reduces permanent loss.

Surrealist style fashion photograph of actor Elle Fanning it depicts her flattened on an illusionist background showing a checked table and a giant inverted fish beside her.
This is just great.
@spingo there's a good article on the photographer here:

He also took some amazing photos of Rama Duwaji

A river winds through a heavily wooded landscape. On the right side of the river are rocky cliffs. In the top right of the sky is a white moon. This is a predominantly blue painting, signed "Chris Silverman".
I've been to that part of Skyrim.
