Spotify screenshot of album art and track info for Roger Waters’ “Comfortably Numb Re-Imagined”. He’s got something new to say, and instead of just making a new song he’s gone and committed post-term abortion on a classic from the 70’s.
The foot of a person is stepping on the “Don’t Tread on Me” snake. The foot probably belongs to a person of color and the toenails are painted in the trans pride flag colors, blue, pink, and white. There is a caption below that says “TROD.” Trod is not only the past tense version of tread, but it also is an acronym for trans rights or die.
An example of the Wyrd stratagem, one of the player options available in the TTRPG Steam+SPITE. The text details how the character can be played and what they're good at. The page also includes an image of a ghostly man, hands crossed in front of him, grinning eerily as black liquid pours from his eyes.

pokopia font image macro meme with text that reads "Nintendo is a union buster", reference Nintendo America's recent hot water with alleged violations of the National Labor Relations Act, which include allegedly firing contractors for discussing unionizing.
An artistic splash page from an RPG game manual. The right page has a picture of a young woman blue-collar worker hitting a strike-breaker with a baseball bat. Above the picture is the word "Knape", a character class from the game Steam+SPITE. The left page has information pertaining to the Knape, reading as follows: "“Nina counted four of them in the café, each surreptitiously sneaking glances at her from a distance, meeting eyes with each other in some unknown signal. By their faces, she could tell they weren't workers. They also weren't scabs, that much was clear; trousers too clean, shirts too rich and thick. Strikebreakers, then. Ah well, nothin' for it. She stood up, cracked one hand against her jaw and unfastened the top two buttons of her linen shirt with the other. Stepping toward the door, two of the men rose to intercept her path. The quiet street outside burst into pandemonium as a strikebreaker, bloodied and bruised, flies through the wooden splinters of the erstwhile unremarkable café door. “Right then, who’s next?” asks Nina, trickles of blood trailing down her fists.”" The Knape Stratagem commands Athleticism + Brutishness. It's great for those who like to solve their problems with aggression, brawn, & domination. Ya don’t necessarily have to be the sporty type to do well here, but if you’ve ever wanted to solve a problem using arm wrestling, ya might be a Knape. Knapes acquire Spite when they challenge or resist a power or force that should terrify them. When they’re under too much Pressure, Knapes gain access to the following Pressure Surges:
A tea-set with a kettle and six cups, each adorned with a black-capped chickadee. The set is lied upon a bed of red leaves.
The digital cover of Daggerheart, seen through the DriveThruRPG app.
A map depicting the fictional star system, Kyldur.
A meme showing a scene from Shrek 1 in which Lord Farquad says “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.” Farquad is flanked on either side by a medieval knight in plate armor, and Farquad himself is dressed in royal reds with a flat cap.
A screenshot from the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena. The frame depicts a girl, late high school age, pulling a sword from another girl’s chest. The first girl, Utena, has long pink hair and a cadet uniform with pale skin. The second girl, Anthy, has purple curly hair, a red dress, and dark skin. The sword is magical and is being summoned from Anthy’s chest, harmlessly.
A photo of Cristin, aka Rainstitcher, happy and healthy, crossing her arms in front of her body in the approximation of a hug. She has light-colored skin, a dirty-blonde asymmetrical haircut, brown glasses, a septum ring, and a grey tank top. She is in front of a lavender-colored cloth stretched around a canopy as the sun bleeds through from the other side, tinting everything in the photo slightly pink.
Shark-hunter Quint from the movie “Jaws” looking at the camera. He has large glasses, a blue shirt, a cigarette hanging from his lips, and a look of consternation. In the background is a shark. It is at this point in the movie that Quint delivers the famous line “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
A picture of the face of Arsene from Persona 5 with the quote “Thou who Art willing to perform all sacrilegious acts for thine own justice.”

A photo of the weird fiction/horror collection, Lonesome Pyres, by Eric Raglin. The cover depicts a large, smiling hole with teeth and a column of flame emerging from its center. On either side of the hole are large walls of stone, and there is a skull nestled atop the stone floor.
An opaque-white bag purportedly full of “bug toys” sits upon a shelf surrounded by meaningless, incidental ephemera. The bag is labeled “Coopay”, which the author is using humorously to make a joke about the alternative rock band Coldplay.
Geddy Lee, famous bassist of prog-rock band Rush, is seen wearing red-tinted sunglasses similar to those being worn by K in the original post. Other similarities include long hair worn off the forehead. The image is posted to reflect the similarities between K and Lee at the expense of K, with tongue in cheek humor.
