Why can I not down-vote?
It's not a bug. You need to have 125 reputation to down-vote a question or answer.

Is there an issue with the required rep to vote to close a post?
Using the information I could gather, I found the post in the first screenshot was this one, which is your own. You can cast close votes on your own posts starting at 250 reputation (and you can ...

Asking time is later than closing time
This is due to incorrect rounding. It has been partially fixed, but only for years: Post was closed before it even existed is status-completed.

Are you sure you've never seen that question before? If it wasn't you, who wrote this question? ;)
In the following screenshot, the first link is the question you've "never seen before":

"Ask Question" button in different position for meta than main site
With Stack Exchange's move to a standardized site design, this issue has been solved (albeit inadvertently). The 'Ask Question' button has been moved:

This account is scheduled to be deleted 11 mins ago
There is probably a small timing difference when an account is scheduled for deletion, vs when the script that processes deleted accounts actually runs.
It seems to have run now, in any case.

First Post Review Queue Bug? More than 140 reviews in a week
Indeed, there're only seven days in a typical week, you aren't mistaken.
The skipped review tasks don't count either (so weird it would be otherwise). The review audits do count towards daily ...

Is the bottom banner for Arqade not working? Or was it removed?

Yeah it seems that support questions are excluded from 'Hot Meta Posts'. I would assume this is the case for bug and feature-request too.

How do OP cards exist in meta but not in main site?

Code blocks aren't working correctly when placed after a list
With the migration to CommonMark as of June 2020, you can now use three backticks to denote a code block. This more explicit format leaves no room for the renderer to have to guess whether your ...
