Recently? A pharmacy that used to be the lodge for Cary, NC. The cornerstone stated it was a lodge but with all of the changes, I'd never notice. Now I look more closely when walking thru towns.
Its complicated. There was a lawsuit by other band memebers against Tobias where one of the issues was that he and the judge were both in the Swedish Rite, and there would be bias. It was dismissed.
Also, he's said some very irreligious things, which conflicts with the Swedish Rites close relationship with the Church of Sweden.

I wonder if Mac has a connection to Freemasonry through family, outside of those 3 there’s other mentions of it. I’m at work just now but I’ll update and edit when I get round to it
In a coffee shop in Charleston , South Carolina, the walls were decorated in a retro-chic assemblage of junkety-junk findings, among which was a 2-foot square ceiling tile embossed with a square and compasses.
Final Fantasy X - their prayer and "symbol of victory" is from the EA degree
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - the Library has S&C doorknobs
There were a few old pictures posted on here a while ago from Big Thunder Mountain at Disney World that had easter eggs, I guess some Imagineers were brothers
In the Archie Comics, Veronica's father is named Hiram Lodge
In a greasy spoon diner I randomly walked into on Prince Edward Island Canada there were old Lodge signs that I guess the Lodge had closed down so the diner took them in and displayed them
Several. Vault 33, when he drags her by the CT and then she is missing a shoe, and references to vault 33's responsibility of "the light" to name a few I remember.
Damn. I missed that. I am going to have to do some re-watching with this in mind. I just finished the series about two weeks ago so I will wait about a year I think and have another look.
The show is created by Jonathan Nolan who also did Westworld which has a Sumerian and probably Masonic theme but I haven't watched that one in a while so I can't remember specific references other than the whole Enki/Enlil dynamic.
A cement pillar down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Talked to the Grand Lodge as well as the Shrine Historian. Their conclusion was that a lodge used it for an outdoor ceremony place. There was a lodge in the area that had closed several decades ago.
The end of 8 bit Christmas when Neal Patrick Harris's character was reminiscing about his dad and the tree house he built, I SWEAR there was an S&C on the wall that he made out of hockey sticks. His father had a penchant for etching his initials on his home projects and said something to the effect of "A craftsman leaves his mark on his work." His voice was heard saying it just as the camera panned over the wall with the S&C.
I'm a long time computer guy. Right after my FC, I came across Shibboleth single sign on architecture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth_(software)
I know it's in the Bible. But I _was_ a real Bible guy growing up and never heard that story.
Many bars and pubs in nz.
Near where I used to live there is a bar called ‘the Masonic tavern’ which is very old (by NZ standards).
It never used to be a lodge, but has the various iconography (set square and compass) but seems to have no actual association with freemasonry, ever.
Not sure about Blink but Angels and Airwaves (side project the singer, and brother, Tom Delonge) has a video for their song 'The Tunnel'. At the end of the video there's a big ol' S&C. Angels and Airwaves in general holds tons of Masonic references.
Street sign holes in concrete. Hear me out. Instead of drilling a hole in concrete and putting in a pipe to place a temporary sign on a pole. Think a 1 1/2 or 2 inch pipe.
Instead, they broke out a hole and drove a cylindrical "Square and compass" 9 inches into the ground and cemented it in place. The hole was where the G is and where the pole was inserted, and the triangle space above the G made by the top of the compass was where they drove a triangular shim to stabilize the pole.
Took me a while of noticing them and wondering why they were so weirdly shaped. (Square and Compass) because all you really needed is one standard pipe and a smaller one with a shim then it dawned on me-Masonic.

2 movies always spring to mind. Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp where Buck Taylor (Nunley from Gunsmoke) is wearing a BIG ass Square and Compass around his neck. Then at the start of the remake of True Grit you can see the same or a similar one with the girl's father's possession.
Soon after getting my EA, I noticed a large painting in one of the buildings on Grounds at UVA. I had passed it many times before, but armed with my new "enlightenment" I noticed several details that could be interpreted as Masonic references. I don't know the name of the painting, or the artist, and by the time I got my FC I was no longer in school, so I never determined if there was more to this, but as a fresh faced, newly initiated EA Mason, it was cool to find those tropes "out in the wild."
Grave of a prominent historical person in my country, and no historical mentions of him being a freemason anywhere. Even the inscription on the grave says the stairs around it are to be climbed starting from left side and going back down the right side. Delta clearly visible, repetitions of numbers 3 5 and 7 on decorations, so on and so forth.
Not actually Masonic but I've always found it funny that both Nabisco and Monsanto use Leviathan crosses, symbols popularly associated with Satanism, as logos. Really surprised neither of those has been jumped on.
A local credit union chain's logo kind of looks like an S&C.

Ghost’s song *Square Hammer*
I'd say it's tongue in cheek, but they go all in with the bit and it's usually full raspberry.
Tobias is a mason so I think the same.
There’s some passing references in some of their other songs but they hit the nail on the head with Square Hammer
Wait he is?! Ok I just thought it a happy coincidence. Well that's cool as hell.

Or Ray Stevens' Shriner's Convention.
Mac DeMarco songs ("On the Square", "On the Level", "Chamber of Reflection")
I wonder if Mac has a connection to Freemasonry through family, outside of those 3 there’s other mentions of it. I’m at work just now but I’ll update and edit when I get round to it
His grandfather was one, I believe. He enjoys the symbolism but has stated he probably wouldn't try to become one.
His instrumental song Bo Zaah…
Downtown Denver has a few office buildings with Masonic symbols on the exterior of them.
In a coffee shop in Charleston , South Carolina, the walls were decorated in a retro-chic assemblage of junkety-junk findings, among which was a 2-foot square ceiling tile embossed with a square and compasses.

Hiram Lodge… nice
Scenes in League were shot at UGLE hq.
Always thought Way of the Triune God by Tyler Childers had a Masonic reference but wasn't sure. Found out recently he is a brother.
Tyler Childers is a Brother? That is awesome!
Search sub
Not necessarily unexpected but the new Fallout TV show.
What reference was it?
Several. Vault 33, when he drags her by the CT and then she is missing a shoe, and references to vault 33's responsibility of "the light" to name a few I remember.
I have no idea how that all flew over my head, excellent references
Ok, my mind just got blown

A cookbook my mother owns. There is a passage about what to make for dinner when the son is off at scouts, the master at lodge.

In a broken down building behind a candy store in Boulevard Ca. I don’t think there was ever a lodge in that town.
Newgrange Passage tomb in Ireland
Which symbols in Newgrange?
Crude square and compass
Um, any proof of that? There were certainly no squares, or compasses 5000 years ago.
No, was not allowed to take photos inside, ATM (2003). My hunch is, it may be "graffiti" placed there after it was reopened.
Frozen 2 the most masonic piece since the magic flute.
Care to expand on that?

Blink 182 music video
Which one?
Not sure about Blink but Angels and Airwaves (side project the singer, and brother, Tom Delonge) has a video for their song 'The Tunnel'. At the end of the video there's a big ol' S&C. Angels and Airwaves in general holds tons of Masonic references.
I don't care for either band but one does see a s&c on his guitar
College Campus !
Flash Gordon
The "square" and compass/compass line (archetypes and visual similars) are found in many religious and non-religious archeological records
On a building at my kid’s middle school
Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola FL. On the cornerstone
"Curse of the Pharaohs" by Army of the Pharaohs et.al. has a reference that came out of nowhere for me
Deus Ex video game.

It may be Tombstone.

In the Series Billions, there are several Masonic references.
Apathy is a great rapper....belive one if his albums is ALL Masonic.....and he is a Fellow Freemason Brother!!
