Queer Trekkie Old Dude on a strange and difficult path. Erklärbär. I practice Buddhism because I'm terrible at it. Autistic as a motherf***er. I love humans, all of them, but humanity is a constant disappointment.

How about this?

Light blue text on a medium-dark blue field, utilizing the "Village" font (based on the ground-breaking television series "The Prisoner") and reading as follows:

You are a cowardly bigot and no amount of PR-crafted apologies or faux-relatable social media posts will make people of conscience forget just how little you care about others when it doesn't directly benefit your public image.

Without downloading new pics, what is it like dating you?

You may, indeed, argue that. Until we finally get that new law passed.

That's valid but I don't think silence is enough to label him a Zionist; that requires open support. Cowardice and complicity, yes. Even Zionism is, at least, *a* stance. Fuckin' nihilists, Dude.

The last chance the US had to course correct ended on the 11th of August, 1868. Every subsequent capitulation to the vilest among us can be traced to people not listening to the Great Commoner.

Black text on a white field, reading as follows:

If their whole country must be laid waste and made a desert, in order to save this Union from destruction, so let it be. I would rather, Sir, reduce them to a condition where their whole country is to be re-peopled by a band of freemen, than to see them perpetrate the destruction of this people through our agency.

-quoted in Thaddeus Stevens: Commoner (1882) by E. B. Callender

No 'Star Wars'. No 'Star Trek'. name a Favourite Sci-Fi Franchise. Faith...manages.

Thanks for bringing us along!

The Doomer part seems low for me, and the Davos/Dubai spectrum feels...asinine? But I do think Thunberg is doing more good than most elected officials, so I'm cool with it.

Image of a chart, reading as follows:

"Your Results"

89% Woke/11% Chud

31% Techbro/69% Neo-Luddite

17% Hopepilled/83% Doomer

67% Davos/33% Dubai

A small round portrait of Thunberg accompanies the last two lines of text.

Surprising no one, Harris Yulin. One early episode, one appearance, and immediately showed how DS9 was going to be different from what we'd seen before while simultaneously giving one of (two of?) the most profound performances in Trek.

It didn't take much in 1989, to be spectacularly effective.

An original 1989 bus stop poster for the Tim Burton film "Batman," showing an all-black background, the Batman symbol in shining black and gold, and the words "JUNE 23."
At the lower left in tiny letters it reads "TM and copyright 1964 DC Comics Inc"

Photo of actor Jay Mohr seated while wearing a dark suie and smoking a cigar. Superimposed text reads "You say self-important egomaniac like it's a bad thing." A promotional image from the half-season series 'Action' (1999-2000), which aired eight of its 13 episodes.

For context I referred to this poster as "AI-fellating." How does watch-yer-nugget know it wasn't complimentary? But they took their own trash out, so there's that. (Shout-out to the Listification function; I've never been added to a list that didn't amuse me)

You would doubt the ground under your feet to find one thing that cannot be doubted, then rebuild from there. You think that if you reason carefully enough from what is certain, you can reconstruct the whole world.

Great, we only have two years to plan the camping trip. Happy birthday, by the way.

An image from the film Star Trek: The Final Frontier depicting Dr. McCoy (
DeForest Kelley) holding a pair of futuristic binoculars up to his eyes, watching an off-screen interaction between Kirk and Spock. Alongside Bones, to his left, a caption reads “‘You'll have a great time, Bones. You'll enjoy your shore leave. You'll be able to relax.' You call this relaxing? I'm a nervous wreck. ...If I'm not careful I'll end up talking to myself.”

He is dressed in a powder blue jacket and dark olibe shirt with a paisley neckerchief.

Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), a handsome white man with lightly pomaded black hair, is seated on a sofa wearing a grey weave suit. In front of him is a drink, and he is receiving a phone call which seems to be causing him discomfort. From "North by Northwest" (1959)

Happy Pride! Step up for our trans family wherever you can and however you can because it is getting ever-more dangerous out there for them. Curb-stomp the fash fabulously.

Done!

Fair is fair

Image of a (non-existent) title-card from the series "Babylon 5," showing a picture of two spacecraft: one of the show's iconic Stafury fighters as well as a disc-shaped white-and-blue human craft of considerably larger size. The title (in the font of the show) reads 'Maybe It'll Happen Today'

In a shocking twist: I have obsessively played other games than New Vegas...

Sometimes you just need to begin again, to let go...

I was born a Prawnist, and I'll die a Prawnist.

Image of a bubble-packaged plastic prawn toy labelled "Fuck it let's Pray To The PRAWN GOD." Beside the prawn it reads "Benevolent! No church! Visibly patrols the sky in exchange for small fish and invertebrates!"

Beneath the prawn it reads "Bad stuff continues to happen, maybe try worship the Prawn instead?"

GubbWerks in Exile@gubbwerks· May 21

They just wanted to help! Seconded.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

Color photograph of a notably battered 1959 Peugot Cabriolet with a powder blue (now more grey) coat and a light tan ragtop. Famously driven by the only trustworthy member of the Los Angeles police department: Lt. Columbo.

Surprising literally no one: capitalism is the problem, systems can't be trusted, &c. (Personally my favorite bit is aligning most closely with Rosa Luxemburg as a person and 🇫🇷 as a country)
