The sheer incuriosity and disregard in this photo.

What's *worse* is you know he's gonna be all "I dashed to the man and saved his life, and he looked up at me and said 'sir,' he said, 'God bless you Mister President, you saved my life, sir,'..."

Two thoughts:

The Rebellion flag (Star Wars)
The OPA flag (Expanse)
The Rebellion flag from Star Wars - an abstract vaguely bird-like round symbol in red ("the Rebel sunbird") with two horizontal black lines on a white background The OPA flag from the Expanse TV show - black background with white text reading "OP" and then a symbol combining the letters O, P, and A (looking vaguely like the anarchy symbol) tilted maybe 15 degrees counterclockwise

Article includes this bit as explanation about why solar wouldn't work.

I would 100% want to see another source on this bc I don't trust the Trump admin line on anything (ESP anything connected to science)! But there is SOME attempt to address.
Quote from the article: Why a nuclear reactor on the moon? Spacecraft orbiting the Earth or stationed on the moon are typically powered by solar panels. But for any long-term human occupation of the moon, solar power won't be enough according to Roger Myers, an expert on space-based nuclear power. "The sun sets on the moon for two weeks," he says. "You have to have another source of energy: The sun and batteries do not work. We're going to have to have nuclear power."

...but he had been enslaved by the Empire and wanted to fight them, and if that meant hanging around with these goody two shoes New Republic types then so be it, he was here to drink booze & kill Imps and he was all outta booze.

He used this art (from a SW CCG I think?)
Image of a Zabrak (Star Wars alien species, near-human - bald with head spikes, like Darth Maul) male soldier. He looks grim and intimidating. He is wearing white space armor, lighter than stormtrooper armor, and carries a blaster rifle in his right hand. The original character was named Coret Bhan, but I repurposed the art for my character, Kennaud Thorn.

Accessing classified intelligence (about a rebel spacefleet) outside of a secure facility (by trying to bring it to a hidden Federation base)
Woman with headphones on, pointing up to text reading: "Video games cause violence." Based on the last game you played, what are you getting arrested for?

Update from @raskin.house.gov - and similarly @vanhollen.senate.gov 's office has said they have no plans of meeting w/ WoLF.
From Jamie: “Hey! Thanks for sending me this. I never heard of this group before and obviously have no interest in a political organization or platform denying the existence or the rights of millions of people. My legislative staff also tells me that they have not arranged a meeting with anyone in my office so, as far as we can tell, this is fake news about the meeting. Bottom line is, if I see them, I will tell them I was proud to be the floor leader in the Maryland Senate in 2014 for the “Fairness for all Marylanders Act” when we successfully passed protections in housing, public accommodations and employment for transgender Marylanders and I have been a strong champion for all my transgender constituents and friends under attack by the Trump administration. I would take that FB post with a grain of salt. All best, Jamie”

Reminded of this poem by Jessica L Walsh - "When My Daughter Tells Me I Was Never Punk," on how choosing to persist and survive is perhaps the Most Punk of all possible options.
Poem by Jessica L Walsh: "When my daughter tells me I was never punk" I say, hon, my being alive is punk. I made my life out of grudges when I saw the odds placed against me, when my role was to marry a man who’d kill me and give me a hot young death, a guy named Charles who would have and nearly did—the day I said fuck you and threw his keys in the snow? That was punk. When I called a nice guy who’d loved me steady and thought *what if I can try staying alive*, that was punk; when I had my last drink and surrendered the scene, that too was punk, and yes I miss the me who would be dead because I was a bottle rocket, a pipe bomb of a good time but my being alive is the middle finger I never put down— I did not let these days go by, I clawed each one from dirt, When I get my nails done I am cleaning weapons, when I buy food, when I fill the tank, I am threatening to survive long enough to piss off a million awful people to be alive in spite of, I am promising to stay fragrantly alive: This is my beautiful house. I am this beautiful wife. *How did I get here?* I say, *By my fucking teeth*.

if you post this show 4 of your favorite games

I guess I like good writing, turn-based tactics, and elves?
Cover art for Harebrained Schemes's 2018 video game "Battletech." A long-haired woman in a military uniform looks at the viewer; behind her, the skull-like head of an Atlas battlemech stares forwards as well. Beneath them, multiple battlemechs maneuver in a battlefield, firing lasers at each other. Cover art for Harebrained Schemes's game Shadowrun Hong Kong: Extended Edition. Two humanoid figures with tusks (orks) pose back-to-back above the game title. The left ork is male, wearing red sunglasses and holds a pistol in a two-handed grip, looking at the viewer. The right ork is female, and holds her left hand up, observing the blue glow of magic around her fingers. Cover art for Bethesda Games's The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. The game title is imposed over a triangle with a stylized angular dragon (the logo of the game series). Cover art for Suspicious Developments's 2024 game "Tactical Breach Wizards." Two figures pose back-to-back. The left figure, a woman, wears a dark green vest with green arcane symbols and a pointed witch's hat, with ski goggles perched atop the brim. The right figure, a man, has a white beard and moustache. He has dark sunglasses and a headset. He wears a grey wizard hat, a sleeveless grey robe with a military camouflage pattern, and brown tactical gear. He holds what looks like an assault rifle, but is actually the mount for a wizard's staff (the cut-off of the art just shows the assault-rifle looking lower half).

Share a screenshot or memory of a game that defined your childhood?

(For me it could ONLY be Commander Keen; amazing how much influence this series had on me as a wee 'un)

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live.

(Art by @davidwynne.bsky.social for @xplainthexmen.bsky.social )
Fake concert poster: "Lila Cheney with Cats Laughing: 1st of Nov. Wembley Stadium 1984." Lila, a woman with dark hair, poses with a guitar slung over her shoulder and a fist raised upwards. She is surrounded by stars, lightning bolts, and lines of varying thickness radiating out from a central point behind her.

Pushing back against anxieties (resource scarcity, being out in public) and putting pride (and metal) stickers on my work mug.
A south Asian hand holding a red travel mug. The mug has two stickers visible: one is a rectangular sticker with gothic font for a band called "World Eaters," and the other is a silhouette of a long haired woman; the woman's hair is in the Pride rainbow.

The mug has two stickers visible - one is a mixture of the male, female, and intersex symbols, labeled "LGBTQ Pride" and in rainbow colors; the other sticker is a black rectangle with text reading "Feminazgûl"
