And Ishkur, Ishkur motherfucker!

Drawing a muscled god, very muscled and bearing two rods with lightning shooting off the tops. The god is bare chested and wearing pouldrons of some sort and a helmet with wide spread horns. His eyes are bright white with no pupils. His lower body is covered by a skirt or possibly pants held up by an ornate belt. Text below the picture reads "ISHKUR"

Picture of Jodie Foster with a quote attributed to her:

"Being gay is like being left-handed, Some
people are, most people aren't, and nobody
really knows exactly why. It's not right or
wrong, it's just one of the many natural
ways to be. The world works best when
everyone gets to live as they truly are. So if
you ever feel out of place, remember: you're
not broken, you're just beautifully different,
and that's something the world needs."

You have to look closely, but Venus is next to the crescent moon in this image. Just after sunset in the PNW.

Post sunset pinks, purples, and oranges in the high thin clouds above the silhouette of some trees. In the upper left is a small crescent moon and a pinprick which is Venus.

Do I post the Wired "Long Boom" cover or the cover of the issue of all the amazing companies that were changing the world that they had in 2000 that were gone in a year (e.g. Lucent, Enron)? Well, I can't find the second one, so I guess it'll have to be Long Boom.

Cover of Wired magazine from 1997 with a globe with a smiley face superimposed with a. flower coming out of its mouth. On the right side it reads:

We're facing
25 years
of prosperity,
freedom,
and a better
environment
for the whole
world.

You got
a problem
with that?

This Red Lyrium problem is really getting out of control. #DragonAge #LunaAbyss #videogames

Screen shot of a first person perspective videogame. A darkly lit room with the light source behind the player, who holds a rifle of some kind. The room is suffused with a reddish light and is covered with shiny crystals. Several skeletal figures are prostrating themselves in a kowtow and are covered by the crystals. Another skeletal figure facing the viewer is almost entirely covered in crystals.

Regional thing, maybe? I get the Wikipedia summary as the first result in the states.
